Cruachan - The Great Hunger

[GreenRad2012]

Our unspoken sorrow.. 

[ZombieHippie91]

I'm Celtic, and every time I hear this song, I get goose bumps. Anyone else? O.O

I mean, I know about the potato famine, but it still haunts me that the English did this to my ancestors. =/

Ta ocras mor



[MitRetsillac]

@Mefgar No no, 'The great Hunger' 'Ta tocras mor', as opposed to 'I'm Hungry' which would be 'Ta tocras orm' orm being 'on me' and mor being 'great/big'

[seqament]

My strength has failed, I can’t go on. Beside my daughter I lay.

Some bread or corn could save her life. All I can do is pray.

I hold her hand and wipe a tear as I watch a new day dawn.

My daughter seems so peaceful now; to heaven she is gone..

KILL THE BRITISH MONARCHY

[FinalFallenFantasy]

@MrJotunheim What did the current ones do to deserve that? O.o corgis may be bizarre but they're not THAT much of a sin against nature :P

[BalderLucifer]

WTF!!?? It never ends! There are only epic songs made by this band! XD

[Grinspooners]

Pretty freakin' stellar song-only just found it yesterday.

[MartaTowely]

Folk fucking yeah!!!!!!

[acerb45666555]

2- remember, this was a Potato famin! everything else was growin fine, including fat healthy cattle and sheep! lots of food around!................but, to London, a profit was a profit! and Irish grain got a pretty penny in far off lands!

[acerb45666555]

English dole rules. London expected the subject in Ireland to be totally bereft of all means of generating finances=flat broke, landless, and homeless. (you had to sell it all then spend everything), then and only then would you get even a fuckin shilling! i can imagine the suicides. the shame. the humilation. and they wonder why Irish had bad tempers!! what do ya expect!

[Schemilix]

Ireland is part of the British Isles, far as I'm aware. And yeah... We English aren't in the least bit proud of what we did to the Irish. Any more than Americans are proud of what they did to the natives... wait, that was us too. Oops.

[Grinspooners]

@Schemilix

It's Youtube, on a page for an epic song.

Who freakin' cares about apologies?

Just, honestly, it's a song, based on something real, yeah, just enjoy it in all it's stellar..qualities.

[Schemilix]

@Grinspooners I'm not apologising. Why would I apologise for the folly of my ancestors? Just that msot of us wish national tragedies hadn't occurred.

[xxAlmightyThorxx]

@Schemilix Ireland kicks your English asses. Ha! I'm Irish, what does that mean exactly? It means I'm not fucking English that's what it means.

[xxAlmightyThorxx]

@Schemilix means i can survive without America's pity. The Irish have endured more tragedy than the English coul ever comprehend, and we're still here.

[xxAlmightyThorxx]

@Schemilix I'm also part Black you moron. Racially scarred memories a plenty for me and my family.

[xxAlmightyThorxx]

@Schemilix I take great pride in being both. And it is in my book you racist bastard.

[xxAlmightyThorxx]

@Schemilix I'm doing my part for the Japanese. Donating money, sending packages with necessities. What are you doing bigot?

[Schemilix]

@xxAlmightyThorxx Sure you are. I don't believe you. Besides, I'm not the one who charged in on another person's apology and took it as an excuse to be racist. I'm merely retaliating to your idiocy.

[Schemilix]

@xxAlmightyThorxx Anyway you being a bigot has completely blocked up the comments, I'm going to go through and delete a few out of courtesy to others who just want to listen to a good song.

[missblbx]

@xxAlmightyThorxx how was that being racist? I am half chinese, I take pride in being half chinese and half british, but i don't consider myself entirely british nor chinese.. What Schemix said wasn't racist, she was merely stating a matter of fact. It's this kind of defensive attitude that fuels racism in the first place!

[1stopsign1]
