@2doctoma Haha, I love the idea of getting in an argument with a unionist and just going 'FUCK IT I'LL LISTEN TO SOME GOOD IRISH MUSIC! AND THEN I'LL TAKE MY ANGER OUT ON THE COMMENTS!' Rationality is the key to a good argument. Carry on, sir.
I've never been to the green island. but i'd love to go there. and i promise: i will go there! and i love the irish culture! hail eire! best greetz from germany! we love you!
So can anyone please tell me why this video doesn't have more than a million views? The economy may be shit right now, but come on, humanity's good taste of music doesn't have to drop with the stock market...
Awesome Song, I Love Irish Music! I am a part Scot, but sometimes Scottish Music sounds so similar to Irish Music. I hope to someday visit the UK and learn of my English, Scotch, French Roots. My Grandmother was born in Sunderland, England, maiden name;"DeRoche" Married into the Bailey Family, Mr. Bailey got killed in WW2. My Grandmother remarried into the Connolly Family and her husband got killed in WW2.One of the names is in relation to Mac.Donald and maybe Irish Descendant. Interesting
@SingingTimberwolf Be prepared to be confused, genetically we are all the same(recant DNA studies),but the religious,cultural,and the political differences of the last 400/500 years define us today and our tribal allegiances.
@SingingTimberwolf Scotland and Ireland used to be one Kingdom. I understand Scots gaelic better than gaelic spoken In souther ireland and I'm an Ulster man.
@SingingTimberwolf I was born in Sunderland. My Mom a war bride. My Dad a Canadian Highlander soldier. D Day etc. Makes me I guess a product of the wartime rubber shortage I suppose/. LOL!
@antbug11 Funny you should say that, Im Irish but live in the states. My kids are American. I took my 4 year old for ice cream one night and there was an Irish band playing in the corner, when he heard the music he just started dancing like ive never seen him do before, my American wife said "it's in his blood". So I took him home and started playing trad Irish music on You Tube. He lit up, like ive never seen, he LOVES IT and doesnt even know why. And to tell you the truth I dont even know.
I'm an American but my Dad was born in Galway. He asked me to pull up some Luke Kelly songs. We were only going to listen to 2 or 3. We ended up watching 19 Dubliners videos, 5 Wolfe Tones, and 7 Pogues. Great Old Night in Chicago...
@SpainEire The Celts that originally sailed to Ireland and colonised the land were thought to have come from (among other places) Iberian/ Lusitanian lands, so the Spanish are really just the Irish's southern brothers and sisters (distant cousins) :D
@gisty84 And then a branch called the Scoti entered the present Scotland and mixed with the then population and produced a helluva race of poets, pricks, geniuses, and occasionally an ordinary person. Wha's like us.
@lawndog6794 hahaha, that's right.... :) But still, I would like to live in Ireland someday... Or at least visit it. I don't know why I'm so drawn to Irish culture.... :)
@SpainEire .Spanish!...well, if youre from Gaelicia!, youre a Gael!=youre technically Irish because the Irish Gaels came from youre turf if youre Gaelician!
@acerb45666555 thats a lie, cause the galiocians of today are less aeuropeans that a muslim. came here and see it. and in the past theres no vestige of celtic presence until the II century bc, theres only assumptions. if you dnt believe me go to see Estrabon, Schulten, etc... the ancient galicians were the oestrimnians
@mentioko Easy mistake to make, but @SpainEire was referring to the Spanish region of Galicia not Galicia/Galizia in Eastern Europe. Spanish Galicia does indeed have Celtic connections.

i dont like the last verse, alot of good men died for ireland in different wars that r jus dismissed in the last verse , not on and not a true irish feeling to disown ur own.. should be changed
@RememberThe1776 ur heads away, he mentions wars in europe ya head bin ye , learn ur history and the lyrics before ya comment, im a prod fs n know more than u gluebegs :P
@bigsinger1981 the song is dedicated to the easter rising, not other wars. Are you understanding now? Or is your prod mind to much to understand simple English. I know just about everything about my people's history going all the way back to viking times.
"It was better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud el Bar." lol you think they "dismiss" other wars because of this line?
Precisely what it says. It would be better to die for Ireland than fighting for Britain in other wars.
The song is about the Uprising and how many felt the Irish soldiers should have staid home and fought for Independence than go to WW1.
I am an American living in the midwest, although my heritage is Irish/Scottish/Welsh and I do love this music, it calls to my blood an soul. Point being that I live a lot further from the source and have no trouble understanding the song pup.
@ryanmurphysbrain hahaha, ur american scits irish with abit of muslim in ya?? go ahead ya fukin idiot hahahahaha , UR AMERICAN AND ATS IT, jus cause use have no history of ur own dont steal ours, but back to the point, the song says not me, again its better to die neath an irish sky than at sulva or su del bar, whcih means those men dyin where a waste of life, they went a watse the they where sent of to war by cheering crowds of thousands that lined the streets in dublin to send them off,

“Foggy Dew” was written by Canon Charles O’Neill in 1919.
This song chronicles the Easter Uprising of 1916, and encourages Irishmen to fight for the cause of Ireland, rather than for the British, as so many young men were doing in World War I.
The Foggy Dew needs to be seen against the political background in Ireland in the aftermath of the Easter Rising and World War I."
amazing video!!! excellent but the old video+modern rifles.....if only true, Ireland would have been freed in the 1970's.....Eire Nua Anois!!! Free World!!
me grand dads favourite song, so me sister told me, yeah, he was a rebel, what the fuck is a rebel, when your country is gettin blitzed, an all the political shaggin bollocks,
@themightoftheenglish you say that we got off quite lightly, History would disagree. we had 800 years oppression, even borderline genocide yes you have had troubles in England which I do not agree should have happened, I am amazed the amount of English people who will only look at the last 30-40 years, also the English troops were welcome in the north until bloody Sunday this was a catalyst in Irish History due to the British Armys unnecessary aggression. All innocent lives lost on that day!
@Eddieok1980 a lot of shit happened to the welsh and cornish as well. I could list a long list including a cornish genocide in 1420 (apologised for by the church in last few years which was odd)
I do believe that this is my very, very favorite version of this song. Tonight is the first time I have heard him sing this but what power, conviction, and strength. It pulls you right into the song itself.
my sympathies, i have visted ireland, and i don't claim to know your troubles,, but the friends i have made while there let me know how they feel,,,im from alabama,,,,,,, god bless ireland...
@nickbanjoman sound man,god bless alabama..800 years of english rule has made some of us bitter but time will fix that,and when the brits give us back the north it will end....R.I.P. Luke Kelly....
@sideshowdamo as someone living in britain I hope you realise How little we are taught of what happened.......all those oppressive laws against irishmen went on far too long....being from wales....we suffered the same but the wrost oppression stopped in 1536...although the welsh language was still scorned
@sideshowdamo and it only stopped cos welsh gave up the freedom struggle to be honest...as welh believed in a united island (but one which was pro brythonic (old welsh) )
@sideshowdamo Let the north decide where they belong, now we have to solve our the current issues and elect a responisble, transparent and efficient gov'nt.
@sideshowdamo you say when the brits give you back the north, so easy to say ,as if giving the north back would of solved everthing and everything turned rosey and you all hug each other on easter monday and july the 12th, ,you sould count your lucky stars that we did keep the north, because if we had gave you it back, youd of had a civil war to rival ,serbs and bosnians,, plus it would of been your soldiers leaving ulster in body bags ,not ours, and your taxes paying for it all
@sideshowdamo you say if we had given it back it would of ended, a million unionists wouldnt of agreed with you, ,it was this country ,and the north of ireland that put up with the 35 years of troubles, not ireland,who got away quite lightly, if 40,000 british couldnt stop the terrorism, at the height of the troubles ,how could 8,000 IDF, in the future ,youd have to tread carefully in a united ireland, knowing your history,nothing is forgotten,and could start up again in future.
@nickbanjoman Thats interesting,when will the white squatters give the States back to the Native Americans.I don't think that you are in a position to criticise.considering the history of the southern states and the fight for civil rights.Either you are too young to recall the events or you have a selective memory.Alabama was in the heart of this movement and some people still have a long way to go-as i said its taken decades for black man to lead the country,
Respond to this video...I suspect that it will be a cold day in hell before a Native American sits in the White House.There is race who were forced off their land and killed en masse,the ones who survived have had to face discrimination,loss of their culture and thanks to John Ford et al,they were portrayed as the wrongdoers-they saw death,rape.enforced assimilation and loss and land and livelihood and they have never regained it.
@elsheilsio The Brtiish working class organisations have been mostly supportive of Irish self identity. However it was Connoly, instead of standing four square with the Irish workers compromised himself with the Nation State first socialism second carrot. When the establishment, whether blue Tory, or green Tory get in there's no going back only revolution will dislodge them. I revere Connoly's ideals but question his lack of judgement.
@parkin157I would agree with this,but you have to bear in mind that ,yes our information was limited but on the other hand,the working classes had social problems all of their own-slavery was abolished long before child labour and the majority lived in abject poverty.Workhouses existed everywhere.Did we know what it was like to be abused ?of course we did,we have as a nation faced invasions.land theft,mass killing,rapes etc,but it was all a long time ago.
@TZEITEL10 i agree...but never condescend people with the notion of time and the idea 'its a long time ago'....these things could happen again if people wanted to, there are no physical laws in this universe stopping us.
Time is irrelevant...what is revelant is that 'justice' is seen to be done and people can come to some agreement
@ MalvinMcPot. Before spouting such drivel learn your history. Pope Adrian gave the permission for Ireland to be invaded by king Henry VIII, before he converted. You can't be selective with your history.
I'm an Englishman with not a drop of Irish blood but if its English idiots dissing the beautiful song for political reasons they are morons. The Dubliners are/were BLOODY MAGNIFICENT.
I've played this dozens and dozens of times since I first heard it, and it has never lost its potency. Thank you, Luke. And to machree01 for putting it up.
YouTube comments are the most ignorant ones on the net. Ireland is finally at peace. It is a model for the rest of the world. Let's keep it that way.
As for this tune; it doesn't matter who sings or recites the lyrics, the words give me shivers. It's an incredible piece of poetry. Thanks for posting this version, brother, I haven't heard it before.

@brendancrawford02" Ireland is finally at peace." Listen you know jack shit just this weekend the English stepped up their threat levels for IRA attacks this shit wont be over till they give us NI back
The vast majority of people who hate the English at the same time neglect what is Irish. It just isn't sufficient.
The English tried to destroy our way of life, but it's up to us to regain it and live it.
Partition is bad enough, but put on top of that the majority of the island are still speaking English and are increasingly living in a globalised way of life.
Even if we did end partition tomorrow, the hopes and aspirations of our dead patriots will still be a long way off.
an Gorta Mór, a time of devastation in Ireland. The death and exile of a substantial chunk of the Irish population and the massive destruction of Irish culture.
Is it still "fucking absurd" to hate the English? Read into it a bit more and the bitterness inside grows.
The point I was making with my previous comment is that it is more important to embrace a love of Irish than it is to hate the English.
@Freshhhhh1982 Who hates the ordinary english people... its the british establishment that invaded and raped and killed and tortured .... there're still doing it in parts of the world today without the support of the majority of the british people....
@thallassocracy Every nation have been religious warriors in the past, long before 9/11. Christianity, for example, is one of the most violent religions ever made up. Don't know why this video made you think about 9/11 though... I'm just enjoying Luke's performance.
@thallassocracy Talking shite again i see my brit friend.....couldnt be the irish were the same religion as the brits untill the king descided he wanted a divorce and tried to convert the Irish. The Irish said fuck this they took our land, culture and now our religion....dont think so mate the Irish are fighting for their country simple as.
@maelstromscup Only 600 million white people ? What are you smoking. Theres 500 million in the EU alone. Thats not counting European non-member states, Russia, the US, half of South America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and a good portion of central asia. Also when we were fighting for our freedom, Marcus Garvey offered us troops, when we were starving the native Americans and Turks sent us food and money. Racism has no place in my country considering our history.
@anthonyoshea3308 No... The "Repulic of Ireland" as they call themselves was established in 1921 at the price of selling out the 6 northern counties because Develara had no balls.
Theres a lot of argument going an about who does the best version of this. Personally I prefer Luke Kelly, but no matter who does it, its the words that get me every time!
From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.
Kerryman 14/4/10
This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.
my cousin used to sign with luke and the dubliners, he has past on now too, a generation lost, but never forgotton, lets hope someone can take the torch soon... i love the furey brothers, who are 3rd cousins off mine also
The best Irish republican song, sung by Luke, my friend and sorely missed. Ronnie and Cathal too. loved the days when you came to stay in my house, guys
ages of rebellion against the british empire - finally capitulation according to european constitution contract. the irish spirit had to die to let in war and death. ploughshares into swords!

@themightoftheenglish you say that we got off quite lightly, History would disagree. we had 800 years oppression, even borderline genocide yes you have had troubles in England which I do not agree should have happened, I am amazed the amount of English people who will only look at the last 30-40 years, also the English troops were welcome in the north until bloody Sunday this was a catalyst in Irish History due to the British Armys unnecessary aggression. All innocent lives lost on that day!

@sideshowdamo you say if we had given it back it would of ended, a million unionists wouldnt of agreed with you, ,it was this country ,and the north of ireland that put up with the 35 years of troubles, not ireland,who got away quite lightly, if 40,000 british couldnt stop the terrorism, at the height of the troubles ,how could 8,000 IDF, in the future ,youd have to tread carefully in a united ireland, knowing your history,nothing is forgotten,and could start up again in future.

@nickbanjoman Thats interesting,when will the white squatters give the States back to the Native Americans.I don't think that you are in a position to criticise.considering the history of the southern states and the fight for civil rights.Either you are too young to recall the events or you have a selective memory.Alabama was in the heart of this movement and some people still have a long way to go-as i said its taken decades for black man to lead the country,

Respond to this video...I suspect that it will be a cold day in hell before a Native American sits in the White House.There is race who were forced off their land and killed en masse,the ones who survived have had to face discrimination,loss of their culture and thanks to John Ford et al,they were portrayed as the wrongdoers-they saw death,rape.enforced assimilation and loss and land and livelihood and they have never regained it.

@elsheilsio The Brtiish working class organisations have been mostly supportive of Irish self identity. However it was Connoly, instead of standing four square with the Irish workers compromised himself with the Nation State first socialism second carrot. When the establishment, whether blue Tory, or green Tory get in there's no going back only revolution will dislodge them. I revere Connoly's ideals but question his lack of judgement.

@parkin157I would agree with this,but you have to bear in mind that ,yes our information was limited but on the other hand,the working classes had social problems all of their own-slavery was abolished long before child labour and the majority lived in abject poverty.Workhouses existed everywhere.Did we know what it was like to be abused ?of course we did,we have as a nation faced invasions.land theft,mass killing,rapes etc,but it was all a long time ago.

@MalvinMcpot
The vast majority of people who hate the English at the same time neglect what is Irish. It just isn't sufficient.
The English tried to destroy our way of life, but it's up to us to regain it and live it.
Partition is bad enough, but put on top of that the majority of the island are still speaking English and are increasingly living in a globalised way of life.
Even if we did end partition tomorrow, the hopes and aspirations of our dead patriots will still be a long way off.

an Gorta Mór, a time of devastation in Ireland. The death and exile of a substantial chunk of the Irish population and the massive destruction of Irish culture.
Is it still "fucking absurd" to hate the English? Read into it a bit more and the bitterness inside grows.
The point I was making with my previous comment is that it is more important to embrace a love of Irish than it is to hate the English.

Thats not counting European non-member states, Russia, the US, half of South America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and a good portion of central asia. Also when we were fighting for our freedom, Marcus Garvey offered us troops, when we were starving the native Americans and Turks sent us food and money. Racism has no place in my country considering our history.

IRISH QUEING FOR 7YRS LOSE OUT TO IMMIGRANTS
From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.
Kerryman 14/4/10
This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.
