Christy Moore - Ride On

[miamerl]

Had forgotten how this song and this voice made my hairs on my neck stand on end. Thank you

[RIXLAZZZ]

great tune

[bongobolox]

if you could ever imagine that you could sing and then tried to imagine a song that would fit perfectly with your voice i would pick his voice with this song...

[MrIpomoea]

Beautiful. this will be the last song in my ears when i leap.

[HarlequinForestADW39]

Crustation's version was a lot better.

[slapshot37GNR]

God damnit...why do all those shitty modern-music videos that are annoying as fuck most of the time get 1million views, while those artists do it for money, popularity, etc. & produce most of it with computers compared to Christy Moore.

Moore does it w/ passion & just a guitar...& he creates beauty.

[wachuma36]

having lived in galway , for goddess knows for how many yrs... I still say Christy, you're the best. Blessed be.

[mearcat81]

[fineirish2]

[absoluterConanFan]

Vor ihrem Tod vor 4 Jahren hat meine Tante dieses Lied immer gehört... jedes mal wenn ich es höre werde ich traurig aber wenn ich dann daran denke dass das Lied meine Tante glücklich machte kann ich wieder lächeln... danke christy moore

[roisina1]

@MegaJack176 Brilliant way to end the festival! what a weekend! 

[100kallibur]

i fair want ta put this music to a red dead redemption montage.

it'd be just unreal, and it'd fit so well.

[CastletoKarma]

The LP/tape that an awful lot happened for the big man, still a great listen to after all the years, McIllhatton, Chicago, Wicklow Hills, Sonny, Viva La Quinta Brigada, they're all on it as well of course as this.

[GraemeGREENE]

[aidanking151]

He was so fucking good at oxegen:D

[himrawkz]

Made coldplay like a bunch of wankers singing this at Oxegen last night. What a man

[laranbellx]

@himrawkz naw, coldplay were amazing but when he came out it was pure epic.

[NicciCoxify]

One of my favorite songs... Forcing my husband to listen to it right now.... Just beautiful.....

[robierobier]

@NicciCoxify ha

[strings6able]

its serious performance Christy puts everything into it Declan plays with such feeling and amazing style and sound

[tyrrell06]

unreal 

[DEADLYDAVE1967]

Best song ever!

[SacredSobek]

One of the most amazing songs ever. Heard it when I was a kid, never took any notice. Heard it again played live a couple years ago on holiday, fell in love <3

[stephencrossan1]

true irish song

[Canyarion]

Truly awesome song. I got to know it through Rapalje, who did an great cover of it (and they play it at every live show).

[AUGUSTM00N]

There's a deep meanin' sentence from the lyrics that breaks my heart when hearin' the song, I always cry...

For My First Love " The Sad Darkness "

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

[thecarplover]

@AUGUSTM00N you always cry? night and day? big lyric, could mean a million things tho couldnt it. so theres basically meaning in it, your putting the deep into it with your tears. maybe he just wants to get his leg over and she aint interested. hence never going with the slag. or tother way roond. i cud never go with you fam.

orrrrrr ( and this is my personal favourite.)

His missus is gettin deeeepoootaaay, he dont have a passport. simple sad and conclusive

[MrClarky29]

awh now heres some real irish tallent christy moore a legend

[S4561230]

Who dislikes this

[JojyIrish]

Be proud u're Irish, but be proud.

[upthedub1]

this song was originally writing by an Irish traveller. if you didn't no that, well then you don't no shit about Irish music.

[RonanG]

@upthedub1 Song was written by Jimmy McCarthy who himself was once a jockey.

[thecarplover]

and where did he steal it from cocknose? FUCK KNOWS. your worse than the jehovahs that knock me up every bastard day!

[XxFanboyGamerxX]

metal gear solid!!!

[edistuarty]

Going to see Christy tonight in Edinburgh.

[50Violetta]

This one's a gem. Go, Christy!

[LizzysChoice]

The most beautiful song I have heard - it is truly haunting. I have now heard it probably hundreds of time but it never fails to get me.

Eileen Falcon ( nee Cassidy)

[oldboy1966]

this song is favorite song of brendan hughes"the dark"!freedom fighter, O.C.ira in the maze jail,hunger striker in 1981 in northern ireland,and died in free ireland 16 february 2008.R.I.P.excuse my bad english

[greenday2themax]

I love this song. I loved it a few years ago, but, I didn't know who sang it, and I just forgot about it. Then my younger brother had it playing on his playstation at night (like 12am) and I went in and saw the artists name.

I fucking love this song.

[Denver1928]

the guitar strum at the start really reminds me of the metal gear solid music

[1mraware]

he is our bob marley, our bob dylan, our bruce springstein, our john lennon, our johnny cash.... he reps the real irish, the real working class hard working ordinary men and women.

[CEEWorldwide]

This is probably one of the best songs written in many years .. close your eyes and listen and it will take each person to a different place. Each can read their own life or feelings into the song. The song is misunderstood because people do not understand Christies' idea was for people to just that for it to mean something different for each person. It is like The Town I Loved So Well. It is not a song of rebelion it is a song of change, of family life, love and a song of hope.

[Jessica1995Rose]

People didn't believe me when I said I loved this song and i'm only 15.....? :L

[CheriTyler]

Joan thank you for introducing me this song when I was in Northern Ireland in 1992. I love, love this song and I miss you so much. I wish I could see you again. Hope you are enjoying life on the other side (:

Christy Moore you are brilliant!

[GothicPaganGirl]

I love this song :)

I know this on the keyboard :)

If anyone wants to listen to a great cover of Ride On check out Cruachan - Ride On :) Theres no real video of it i dont think

[lhssoccerchic07]

[Doady1337]

[sonor1981]

[davesykes1966]

@sonor1981 listen to Cruachan, who cover RIDE ON (with the help of the amazing Shane MacGowan) It think you'll appreciate it...realllllly

[sonor1981]

@davesykes1966 i just listened to that version and to be quite honest i think its awful they really killed it macgowan sounds like he is out of his skull drunk ??

[Psikonort]

Brilliant, beautiful , powerful & infused with magic.

[1quirkyblonde]

I love this song!!!!

[vaximilijan008]

The best gong ever!!!!

[vaximilijan008]

The best gong ever!!!!

[zer0nemo]

Unbelievably great.

[Whollysurrendered118]

The world pumps out pop-techno-loud rubbish, yet Ireland keeps producing gems like this. Their musical abilities are like from a different world - I hope they never loose their musical spirit.

[MultiYeahx3]

@Whollysurrendered118 thanks dude :3

[AvanLotharion]

This song is probably the best song in the world. And if you don't agree, you can fuck off.

[nally1199]

im havin dis played at my funeral!

[fizzandsolo]

lol ! I know - in ireland ya wouldnt get slagged - except I'm still being called pony lover because I own 3 horses - haha they didnt say it again after they were chased by 6 of my horsey friends on 6 very big 16.2hh haha it was priceless x.

[0932manu]

this is the best song ever it calmes me down. I fell like i am in another universe:)

[obegididoodleanafluf]

heaven arriving on earth

[kittee83]

Aww this has to be one of my favourite songs ever... Used to tell people i loved this song when i was in secondary school, and they made fun of the song... :(

[aughamullan]

They are a bunch of tastless bastards, this song is awesome :D

[kittee83]

@aughamullan Smiles :)

[HolyheadUK]

@aughamullan Thats just how it is, no matter how good the song or performance theres always a minority that goes against the grain for some unknown reason. Why you (not you personally, the tasteless bastards) could 'thumbs down' this song is beyond me.

[SlaughterTheFrail]

Whats to make fun of? If I were to make fun of this song it'd be out of jealousy, but late at night I'd secretly listen to this and envy him until I go to bed <_<

[xxxchloefxxx]

@kittee83 im in secondary school and everyone loves it haha

[0932manu]

@kittee83 Same here they all say its crap. they have no idea that this is the best song ever

[gorannm]

@kittee83 fun...there is not a little drop for makinn fun in this song, only pure emotions

[kittee83]

@gorannm i know that!

[SacredSobek]

@kittee83 Ignorant people...not worth your time :/

[CelticGoddess666]

@kittee83 same as, think people just can't take the emotion!!

[thecarplover]
