[johnnysad123]

great voice for a great song!!



[eerawb]

"...a hungry sound came across the breeze, so I gave the walls a talking." Fucking beautiful poetry right there son.

[fisherman06100]

very good cover.... but i think the pogues did it alittle better... the raspiness of shane macgowans voice does it alittle more justice, still like the song and all that the young dubliners have done.

[Razken89]

This is a really nice song! Can't stop listening to it. Even though I'm Swedish I totaly love irish music. So much soul in it.

[LaSombraFilm]

Love this version. Love the Pogues' version. The song is a true classic.

[wqpeb]

[virko1990]

[BarbaricGoose]

@gabriel999red I guess I forgot. It's originally done by Shane MacGowan.

[warpedxmike]

@BarbaricGoose Uhm yeah Shane wrote the song but The Pogues released it.

[JohnPreston0157]

Great!

Even my Dad, who uses to listen to The Dubs all the day is sold on the Young Dubliners, since I presented him "with all due respect":)

[TheGreyGuard1865]

I love this song but i dont fully understand whats going on :/ anyone care to explain lol xD

[petercrouch67]

@TheGreyGuard1865 It's about a man who has a row with his woman, and goes to drown his sorrows...only to meet an old man who starts talking about the war and everything (telling him his life story) and how his own girlfriend left him when he came home from the war. The younger man can't be bothered with him at the start and leaves...but thinking back on the conversation it moves him to almost to tears...that old bastard has to live with that feeling all his life

[hanshotfirst1138]

@petercrouch67 What's the "roving" refer to?

[monkeyboylx92]

@hanshotfirst1138 searching

[hanshotfirst1138]

@monkeyboylx92 So the old man has been searching for his girl, what is the young man searching for? I conjecture that "the birds whistling in the tree and and the wind gently laughing are his realization of something?

[petercrouch67]

@hanshotfirst1138

I actually think that the brown eyes could be a metaphor for acceptance, or love or something as opposed to physical brown eyes.

The last lines are funny, "i gave the walls a talking", (the walls have ears)

he's obviously drunk and talking to himself, so the wind could be from kids passing in the early morning laughing at the drunk, but as he only hears it in the peripheries he attributes it to wind, along with the birdsong which is shrill and prevailant. Maybe just me. lol

[monkeyboylx92]

@hanshotfirst1138 Going out on a limb here. Possibly love himself. It seems that perhaps the old mans story of war, combined with his brown eyes, reminded him of a past love of his own that had brown eyes. The first verse is the old mans story of war, the second is the young man remembering a past love and leaving the bar. "The birds whistling in the tree" could simply symbolize an epiphany of sorts, as you suggested.

[damndawg012]

@hanshotfirst1138 well in this context, im assuming it means that he's traveling around.

[arcaneaddict]

i fucking love you man!

ive been looking for this version for a while!

thanks again XD

[trigonotarbida]

Ahh, thank you.

It's bothered me for two years that this version wasn't on youtube.

It's my favorite song on the album.

[BarbaricGoose]

@trigonotarbida You're welcome. Thanks for reminding me to upload it. Been awhile since I heard the song.
