English man / wOMAQN i èASEED I studied in England _UOL ..stopped , channelled in Heathrow etc at he end of 80s ALWAYS..because of our accents...like cattle..if you were Irish you were guilt y of something. ploice harassment.. you younger viewers perphaps do not know or forget Thatcher banned our voices on TV for 3 years..too dangerous for the English to hear our representatives speak without dubbing...unheard of in the western world..this is a great song..BRAVA!!
@warriorprince1010 Can't we just say that all war is daft and that we should all just be at peace? I am Irish and I for one don't give a rat's arse - it is our generation now and we are responsible for correcing the mistakes of the past and making new mistakes of our own ._.
That's an idealistic, post conflict and reasoned opinion. Not held by most "Republican rebels". Anyway I was only trying to make a response to your narrow minded interpretation of the song. In reality its probably a metaphor for the relationship between the two countries. A history fraught with conflict, hatred and tragedy. She is encouraging people to look past this, in a sense "to rebel" against how we have been encouraged to feel and behave towards one another. On both sides.
Beautifully put mc200010. Snipeire (is that a play on words - Irish sniper?) you are right too, there is nothing "rebel" about the song, quite the reverse.
It doesn't defeat the purpose. You can rebel against anything that is a commonly accepted belief. In Ireland at the time it was commonly accepted that England and Englishmen/soldiers were to be hated. In a sense then, she is rebelling against this view, that we (people in Ireland at that time) should think in this way. She could be saying the same to both sides of the conflict; rebel against the tide of hatred and violence (To rebel does not always necessitate violence)
"Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons", suggests she's not entirely for the cause and don't forget when this was written. Thatcher had banned Gerry Adams' voice in Britain. Everything he said had to be spoken by an actor on voice over.
who cares about the way she looks or how long is her hair?????? She is all about singing and puting her spirit in her songs. Few artist like her are left these days, and that is the kind of music this world needs.
PaddyOHacker shes catholic. the song is from Ireland to the English. its a political song not a song about a personal relationship between two people.
increadible... what courage to sing this song at the Nobel peace prize gala... so moving to see her cry at the very end, shed a tear for all the fallen...
And you know, after now and then listining to this song before i go to sleep, i still can't understand why this song still only has 8403 views. Knowing those feelings are inside of all of us. The hell with material things. Let's just feel an eternity;-)Now it's bedtime...
Just great. The way she sings so strongly in the end. Of course i love the delicate way she performs it, in the original version. But it's much nicer this way. Different and gorgeous i'd say! :-). Thanks for uploading!!
I remember looking at them in Dublin. They all smiled, even when they didn't. Their eyes belied their sorrow but, when all was said and done, they were still smiling.
The feeling she puts into that song!!!!!!! Man, i wish i was that english man. Beautiful voice but most of all the humble way she brings that song. I'm sure everybody in the audience helt his breath for 3min and 8sec.
warrensr she does do a wonderful job with it. but as i understand it the song is not meant to be to one individual englishman, its from the Irish to the English. it is a rebel song with a message, just done in a lovely way.
Irishmen and women seem to have this extra emotional feel about them (their voices, presentation) and this is just one more example of why I feel that way. Beautiful.
She is a true colleen
