Wow! Just heard this song for the first time, and now im guna listen to it a hundred more... And yeah anyone who cant see the message in this song, is stupid
This song speaks to me not because I lost a girl or a person, but because I have something gone that can easily be placed in the same spot. This song brings me to tears when I'm drunk and makes me work harder when I'm sober. This is one of the top ten songs of my entire life. Flogging Molly is one of the best bands to ever come together and I'm thankful that I've listened to them spill life in a way that actual makes me feel something. Thanks you. You are all immortal and irreplaceable.

@jeroenvroom Whiskey on a Sunday their 2006 DVD/album 1st time studio release for laura, it was also on their very fist cd, alive behind the green door, which is a live album (should be the only new song from whiskey too, iirc)
The first time I heard this song was on the anniversary of my mom's passing. I broke down for the first time in years. Even now the song makes me misty eyed.
This is one of the greatest love songs ever written...and if you can't hear that, there's something wrong with you. Just because it doesn't sound 'conventional' doesn't mean shit.
Gotta love 'em! Irish and proud of it! I don't care if my friends say "I don't like these people. Their just noise." Too damn bad. I'm Irish and happy of my fellow Irish family! Keep jamin' Flogging Molly! Let the good times roll
@09LaRage I don't remember exactly, but I believe that Laura was Dave King's first wife back in Ireland who died of illness before he ended up leaving the country and moving to California. I'd assume the mention "I lost me a wife and found me a plane; flew all the way to California" in Black Friday Rule was referencing it as well.
@Dazanin1 That's actually the exact reason behind this song. I saw these guys twice and both times they play this song. He actually explained who Laura was at the first concert I went to.
@rcraven388 Yeah, I think that he explained it when I went to them last time, but my memory was a bit foggy since it has been years. Those bastards need to come back to the pacific northwest sometime.
@09LaRage I actually used to think it was his mother, who is often spoken of at their live shows and live albums. But I suppose Dazanin1's explanation is more logical.
17/6, Gothenburg, Sweden. Can't wait for these guys, Dropkick Murphys, Rise Against, Bad Religion and The Hives. That day will be epic, the alcohol will flow and we'll all have our fists in the air.
You know Belfast really had a good Punk Scene I recommend seeing the Movie Shell Shock Its about Terry Hooley and Good Vibration Records. It also features bands like Terry and the Idiots,SLF, Outcasts, Rudi, the undertones, and Victim.
True Punk is Dead their is no bringing back True Punk ( Dead kennedys, The Clash, Ragen Youyh..) just to name a few... punk/rock is not dead it is still thriving today. but True Punk is gone But Never Forgoten!
"rejected youth", elvis disciples, NoFX, Anti Flag, Against Me!, Rancid, Time Again..... god there's still tones of Punk bands!!! U like Flogging Mollys but u want more punk: Dropkick Murphys... Stop acting as if Punk is dead! Punk is NOT dead!
