First heard this when I was a wee boy watching Waking Ned with my ma and da (absolutely amazing film by the way, recommend to everyone!). Play this on the jukebox whenever I go to Port William (wee fishing village in SW Scotland) for a wee dram with my granda! Absolutely the best Scottish pub atmosphere in the world when this comes on towards the end of the night :D

[TheMeleemonkey]

im scottish, and i love scottish, irish and english folk music. to get all three wrapped up in a stunning parcel like this just proves that we should get together more often.

[daviniaosgood]

@TheMeleemonkey I'm English (Sassenach) and I too love this song, and the marriage of the three nations <3

[tomcom93]

@daviniaosgood i think the term youre going for is 'Saesenach'. nice try though....for an englishman

[daviniaosgood]

@tomcom93 I've only ever seen it spelled 'Sassenach' it's even spelled that way on Wikipedia etc.. although there may be other ways of spelling it :/ and I'm an English WOMAN not an Englishman hahaha :D

[tomcom93]

@daviniaosgood haha apologies..wikipedia isnt a reliable source of info for the irish language which ive found out the hard way thanks to some inaccurate college assignments haha

[daviniaosgood]

@tomcom93 No worries, we have similar taste in music it would seem :D

[gixerrules36]

@TheMeleemonkey the world cdnt cope if we did and got legless as well lol.....

[eurogael]

One of my all time favourite gigs supporting Simple Minds, Dublin, June 1986, Waterboys were the best thing about the show although Simple MInds competing with a thunder and lighting storm as a backdrop came a close second.

[JordoF6]

Im scottish they are as much irish as scottish.You could say the waterboys are a scottish irish hybrid.

[olarossum]

amazing song, mike scott is a genious :)

check out our acoustic cover!

[Janikka13]

nice



[thomasmcder97]

gone fishing

[spankmygimp]

wow thanks for the youtube book...

[bootlegapples]

The sentiment is poetic and pure,it's well written to be sure.

It reminds me that the brilliance of people with "ADD" is everywhere in those things worthwhile.

Most of the most memorable,the most worthy lines ever written were written by people with "ADD"....I spot it in people,especially in musical lyrics ,it's time to drop the disorder label.

[gabehampton]

@bootlegapples ADD is just people who have a hard time concentrating, and they daydream a lot, These people are better at putting pieces together but they have a harder time gathering pieces so to speak, but the school system doesn't value that form of intelligence. That can't test ones philosophical prowess, or creativity, but they are very valuable. ADD is related to Trancendental Meditation. Some people meditate naturally.

@bootlegapples Those with ADD are just people who have a hard time concentrating, and they daydream a lot, These people are better at putting pieces together but they have a harder time gathering pieces so to speak, but the school system doesn't value that form of creative intelligence. That can't test ones philosophical prowess, or creativity, but they are very valuable. ADD is related to Trancendental Meditation. Some people meditate naturally.

[bootlegapples]

@gabehampton

"Those with ADD are just people who have a hard time concentrating"

We pretty much agree ,I would modify that statement by adding that ADDers have a fluid form of attention where outside stimulation is not suppressed.I think selective pressures for certain environments not only accommodated but selected for it.It's an attention variant.

And that's why I value reflection and night time walks,I am more at ease...no sensory overload, no BS human distractions ... time disappears

[99EbonyRose]

@bootlegapples I'm (almost) 39 and was constantly berated and degraded for "daydreaming" and "forgetting'. It has a name today but when I was at school, i was just "backward" and "difficult". Today I am a writer, a mystic, a poet and someone whom others come to for advice, comfort and understanding. I have been accused of being profound, wise and knowledgeable. I have been encouraged to join MENSA because of my apparent IQ. I am just me. And i like to wander - in my thoughts as well as the world

[bootlegapples]

@99EbonyRose

"And i like to wander - in my thoughts as well as the world"

Yes! and Yes!...

"constantly berated and degraded for "daydreaming" and "forgetting'"

ditto :(

EbonyRose I swear I know you,just from that blurb you hot ticket! (eh eh)

Myself I like Music (playing it),philosophy and a billion other things,went from top level classes to the "hamster" classes because I could not remain alert or awake sometimes.It had to interest me to work but that requires my OWN path to learning,

[FatzyMusic]

31 People are Seasick! ;(

[mrrubiks501]

...can't wait for that fateful day. :)

[FanOfPopCulture]

31 people didn't win the Tully More lottery:(

[bingerIV]

31 People would have no idea what good music is if it hit them in the face.

[deisetrev]

Great song. Real authentic music sung with heart. I saw them in Waterford this year at Tall Ships festival and enjoyed them.

[paully1969]

[258brendan]

[nerinaodistre]

Waking Ned Divine is the film where I first heard this song, the opening scene with the motorcycle riide wide shot over Ireland, totally enchanting, bought the ablum and soundtrack. Made me feel.... young and free and in love again...

[TheBellgreenboy]

great song, paulo nuttini who i beleive is scottish, has got a song called CANDY it sounds remarkabily like the begining of this song,i always thought the wateerboys were a one hit wonder group with the whole of the moon,but this track,old english and bang on the ear are all top tunes

[vicherpe]

soy español y digo que celtas cortos son buenísimos, pero estos también lo son!! viva CELTAS Y LOS WATERBOYS!!

[Castuoesperanto]

¡¡ viva GALWAY !! que tiempos aquel verano de 1989 , mi primer beso me lo dió una chica irlandesa escuchado a los Waterboys

[gruilet]

sigo diciendo que celtas cortos le da mil vueltas a esta panda...

Asi que callaos la boca y no repliqueis tanto, bastardos...

[Castuoesperanto]

@gruilet

CELTAS CORTOS son cojonudos, pero The Waterboys son igual de buenos, cada uno en su estilo, saludos

[pezperry2008]

classic tune

[tallpaddy]

last time l saw the waterboys live- they did their tribute to wb yeats at the barbican this year-- l really enjoyed that show but they didn't play the hits- so here we go london feis 2011- what's on their song list? l have no idea but l'd settle for this one plus the bang on the ear- the pan within- old england and don't bang the drum

[daviniaosgood]

Some tune this! I first heard it on the film "Waking Ned" class!

[gruilet]

Celtas Cortos is better than this crap...

[teenonator]

@gruilet (aka cabeza de mierda)- This is a 20+ year old recording that The Waterboys were perfoming 5 years before its release on an LP. What was Celtas Cortos doing when this was released in the spring of 88? They hadn't even released an album when this came out. I just listened to their version, and while it's pleasing, it's totally lifted from this. Imitation is the sincerest form of of flattery. Crap, CC's vocalist even rips off the vibrato & hoarseness in his voice on the same passages

[tabbygoth]

@gruilet I just heard Celtas Cortos' cover of Shenandoah and the lead singer actually sounds like he has some sort of learning difficulty.

[runtaeyoo]

first heard this live on glasgow green about 20 yrs at the fleadh runrig i think headlined and i still love it

[Buffavento]

Song of a lifetime..

[nkc168]

Soooo much better than Catie Curtis' version.

[Sophie1234A]

Listened to some Waterboys on my dad's iTunes and now I'm fucking hooked

[TheBlindPig1]

is that the suns who could not rise to their fathers calling?

[Ianandpiper]

How can it get any better than this?

[mercuryzeke]

the waterboys what can i say.i remember good times listening to these songs.my fur raises listening too them

[baxtersave96]

This is a great song.I can't imagine why anyone would have checked dislike

[TheBlindPig1]

I am the lamb of god. Make oh that what you will. But i will explain everything. From creation to damnation and obliteration in between. What i just heard a burns poem. Ah sweept by canyne, ah coodny wah, twis soilder bayth, way booth a knave. a cooth ta boulder a cooth ta be a swig a buck, tae buck na be. a tanner rose, a buck ta muck nay be, a bloody bath ay n nay wonder. a tanner rose aye and awe that in between.

[shaggymattrocks]

i love thinking about my past when i listen to this :)

[vinniehond]

great! 

[mrmojorisin291278]

Total genius i never get tired of hearing it, its one of those tracks that take you away to a better place i just close my eyes and listen to his voice and that violin and the goosebumps begin.

[TheBlindPig1]

i say as a joke, fuck the loyalists they never new devotion. no the other way.

[cortinagxl]

27 people are a small insignificant minority. What do they know?

[rebelsmileygirl]
