Although I've always loved Sinead's singing voice, this song--one iconic to Catholic rebels in Northern Ireland and adopted from an older one of the Catholic Scottish Jacobites--is ironic to hear sung by such a critic of the Church.
@drillsargentadog how is this iconic to northern catholic rebels ? its about grace o'malley who was a pirate from mayo... nothin got to do with religion
@FinuteD1 The original version is about Prince Charlie in Scotland; the Jacobite cause had religion at its heart, as well as nationalism. You're correct that the this version is about Grace O'Malley, who was a popular folk figure to the Northern rebels. The fact that Pearse himself wrote the verses here sung bears testament to that. Just listen to the words (I assume you speak Gaelic)--O'Malley is coming to route the foreign usurpers! That would resonate with a 20th century rebel.
@FinuteD1 -- It's only nominally about religion. It's about foreign rule. The irony is that O'Malley was willing to help the English and told Elizabeth I herself in person, though the deal fell apart ultimately.
cheers Sheaned. If there is any possible way to be in Bulgaria ... alot of people will recognize you as part of our history. Fight for freedom is our breath !
Wow we Irish are a contentious lot. I see posts from people who like this song and Sinead who are fighting about it. I am 2 generations removed from Cork but I see this in my Uncles and cousins; I like the Irish fire that burns in all of us. The Swedish side just sighs and refills the horn with mead.
Sinead O's version of this ancient Irish "Welcome Home" song is extraordinary, powerful, and it motivates one to go up and dance with her. Well done Colleen.
It's a Jacobean song about a 16th century female Irish pirate Grainne Mailie or Grace O'Malley in an anglicised form. She changed sides about as often as her coat in the battle between the English under Elizabeth I and her Anglo-Irish neighbours. The IRA reinvented the song as e rebel song using words by Irish poet Padraig Pearce because the song refers to Foreigners being pushed out of Ireland by the Irish alone and not mercenaries.
@tblack2628 - Yes! - and especially the Irish. Get the F*** Out (GTFO), English!!! You can "free" India, the "Jewel of the English Crown" (aka "property") and numerous other "colonies" with whom you now enjoy a very special and productive relationship, but you can't do the same for the people next door to you, with whom you have more in common than just about any other? Enough with the "ruling other people" crap already. GTFO!!!
@TheMC1215 look up your history, ya... they were DEFINITELY nothing but helpful and kind... they never killed thousands or indirectly caused the death of a thousand more...
You're ignorant as hell, at least read a history book, they soften it up and don't tell everything, but they tell enough for you to see how wrong you are... dumbass
we think of ourselves as brave underdogs fighting imperialism, but the truth is that honour only belongs to small part of our people. most irish didnt join the rebellions many even fought for the the brits, but the ones i detest are the cowards who did neither because they believe in nothing. We had too few heroes, and they are even fewer today, so we bow and scrape at the altar of globalism and allow ourselves to be led by the nose towards the complete destruction of our individuality. shame
I generally agree with your sentiment but I think there are reasons for that type of thinking which I think Sinead O'Connor sums up so well in her famine song.
@lucasleivia As an O'Bierne originating from Roscommon, I was reading that while my family did work with the British as government officials they seemed to be behind most of the uprisings in the region ;-) All I can say is I am very proud of my ancestry and especially of my Irish ancestors! They have given me a lot to be proud of both in Ireland and here in the United States.
@lucasleivia What do you me we,your from the uk,your not one of us. We were the most rebellious of all britains colonies,every generation rebelled with war and if that did not work we used politics. The few Irish that fought with the brits,fought in other countries not against their own people, only unionists fought for them in Ireland.Every Irish persons grandfather fought in the war of independence,so stop trying to belittle our history brit. Typical scumbag hun
@TheIrishceltbhoy "What do you me we,your from the uk,your not one of us. We were the most rebellious of all britains colonies,every generation rebelled with war and if that did not work we used politics"
Well, true enough. But in most cases the rebels were betrayed and suppressed by other Irishmen. Towards the end the IRA was so heavily infiltrated by informers that it was practically a branch of the British civil service.
@chadcoreyslater If they are insulting Ireland then not a chance, I would not even consider it for split second. They are the ones that make fighting necessary not us,same storey for the last 800 years.

Actually even though I disagree with protestantism I must respect the protestant men who fought for a united Ireland. Wolfe Tone, Henry Joy, Tom McCabe, and the list goes on. They were protestant and fought along side Catholics as United Irishmen. Check mate faggot! The protestants ya speak of were mostly squatters who were stuck in Ireland to change the demographics. Like I said read a book douche bag. Preferably not one written by Ian Paisley.

The english also thought the "earth was my country" and attempted to ensalve and cultivate all corners of it for their financial gain, and their religion was one they created out of arrogance and selfishness - not goodness.

zachtblauw: The basic melody for the sea shanty 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor' was in inverted commas "borrowed" from this much earlier Irish song. Now political correctness decrees that in schools in Britain they sing 'what shall we do with the grumpy sailor' instead of the original. Madness!
Much as I agree with Tom Paine,... This is Ireland,.. we have suffered enough with english shyte,.. The earth is my country,.. but sometimes my brethren inhibit me?
You attack alot a people sweetie,.. you must be anglo-deutsch,.. no worries hun, we have hugs for the tourists and bullets for the rest,.. come to Eire and see what we do, what we put up with,..

"The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Paine
Em, no it wasn't. Pearse wrote it, but that doesn't make it a rebel song. It's about the history of the west and Granuaile. Stop taking your history lessons from The Wind that Shakes the Barley.
true (patriotism). However, we must remember that the discourse of patriotism has been written by people who have constructed 'anti-patriotism' as nothing more than the championing of a certain type of culture (suits, speaking English, empirical rationalism, hatred of diversity within this context).
Accepting diversity is to accept Juvenal's creed of 'nothing human is alien to me'.

zachtblauw: The basic melody for the sea shanty 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor' was in inverted commas "borrowed" from this much earlier Irish song. Now political correctness decrees that in schools in Britain they sing 'what shall we do with the grumpy sailor' instead of the original. Madness!

@zachtblauw . Why not? There is validity in keeping old songs alive, be they bawdy drinking songs or a call to arms.

Em, no it wasn't. Pearse wrote it, but that doesn't make it a rebel song. It's about the history of the west and Granuaile. Stop taking your history lessons from The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

true (patriotism). However, we must remember that the discourse of patriotism has been written by people who have constructed 'anti-patriotism' as nothing more than the championing of a certain type of culture (suits, speaking English, empirical rationalism, hatred of diversity within this context).
Accepting diversity is to accept Juvenal's creed of 'nothing human is alien to me'.
