Luke Kelly I Know My Love

[DShaw42011]

this song sends chills up the spine

[rebkev01]

"a troubled mind knows no rest"

This is the perfect counterpoint to "Peggy Gordon" it seems to me.

[irishgeal1]

wish i had a voice that sounded like that, i would not need a passport.

[777MrJoe]

What is it about Luke's voice.. Its like hearing a friend or loved one speak, never fails to warm the heart! Such power and presence.

[angelf1re]

If you do not tap your fingers or tap your foot to this, I have bad news for you. You are dead.

[manicinsanity123]

Does anyone know where I can find this version of this song for download/purchase? I can't find it anywhere!

[7oct1936]

Kelly, Did Luke or the Dubs ever record "She moved through the fair" I seem to recall hearing it in O`Donoghues many Years ago. On the other hand it could have been someone else, as I might have been a wee bit slathered at the time

This great song is another Luke gem & I love it. If you can find a version done by the Ian Campbell Folk Group!! Have a listen, I am sure any Luke Kelly lover will appreciate the voices of Ian & Lorna Campbell. Magic as usual kellyoneill.I lnow I have said this all before but there you go.

[Ravbo1]

@Teddyb1939 Yes Ian campbell Folk Group does this song very good - but of all versions i know is this one with Luke and The Dubliners absolutely the best

[DwnAszPunk]

Wasn't this the name of a play or a book or something as well?

[Teddyb1939]

What a great song by the magic Luke,I have always loved this song sung by the Ian Campbell Folk Group,have a listen.

[akgwatts]

I'm not sue whether I've commented on this before or not but at the risk of repeating myself, this is the essence of Luke Kelly. Unless you are part of the magical Irish culture you won't get...but if you are you can't fail to appreciate the beauty of "I Know my love"

[2wickey]

Great song. The Dublin Phil does a nice rendition as well.

[imatim1888]

no one better ,rip luke,say hello to ronnie

[akgwatts]

I know my love sung by Luke has been an ear worm for me for many years.......all the way back to the folk clubs in Nottingham back in the 70's.

[akgwatts]

Luke, you know your love and we know ours and it's your voice,,, hope ytour singing in heaven Luke and not sitting on a cloud playing a harp.

[raphael2176]

How lucky I am to have heard Luke in the early days of his career when his voice was at its best just as it is on this track. Wonderful, just wonderful. Never has a voice sounded sweeter. Perfect pitch from a man born to sing.

[circleof42]

There's a great story of Ronnie and Luke while staying at a hotel in London looking out the window at the traffic passing by. A car heads for the hotel and disappers out of sight right below them. Luke turns to Ronnie and says "Well that was an obstacle illusion" Ronnie turns to him and says "You mean on optical illusion didn't you?" and Luke say "No it was an obstacle Illusion, we thought there was an obstacle down there, but it was only an illusion."

[BC25citizen]

@circleof42 Ha! I love it! Thanks for sharing that. :-)

[blahblahblah85]

This song is on a new cd of Maura Oconnell (naked with friends). Its a great little melody and I like this version better but I'm a Luke Kelly fan!

[scabyzmant]

O'neill, we'll never be able te repay ye.

[irishgeal1]

the best folk singer of all time at his ease/

[schiple]

It takes a man like Luke not to be bothered whether the song is sung by a man or a woman, he just sings it! And leaves no doubt at all that it is a man singing.

And does a damn fine job, which is a bit of an understatement, but I have run out of superlatives when describing Luke

[joeygsmom]

right on, lady...!

;-)

[owlet1963]

and you are SO right schiple! Agreed 100%!

[DwnAszPunk]

the true test is It's Raining Men by the Weather Girls ;)

[akgwatts]

I wish Luke had changed the gender on this one....nevertheless Luke at him inimitable best.

[ADumbUsername]

...homophobe!

[Notides360]

He can say any damn thing he wants about the gender, and even if that makes him a 'homophobe' then fuck it, he can be and it doesn't matter because most, normal people are what can be called, 'homophobes'.

Amazing song though.

[ejlaparram]

It lookes like you're talking out of experience dumb user!

[pstralen]

Even though I have never met him, I miss him so much.

[akgwatts]

Luke Kelly's interpretation and delivery of Irish Folk music is unsurpassed. Living in Canada, when I play Luke and the Irish Rovers I'm reminded of where my heart is.

[mantovan9]

this is wonderful, thank you.

*****

[joeygsmom]

Theres something about his voice that makes you want to share his music with others.

[satarrant]

Luke, I want my son to grow up like you. Well, either you or Joyce, you are both of the same ballpark.

[lars3939]

joyce? james joyce? and luke? the same? I want what you are drinking, James Joyce a swiss living little bon vivant, versus Luke? No comparison.

[satarrant]

ov course joyce and kelly are alike. why not?

[sealt160n]

lars3939 - if there's no connection between the great JJ and the great LK then why did the latter take the name of a book be the former to rename the 'Ronnie Drew Group' ? There's more than satarrant drinkin' that stuff...

[visionmixer3]

Wisha,wasn't he the man for an owl song.Fair play to ure socks.

[Alan174]

Luke was definitely the master ballad singer

[tomasberggren]

[tomasberggren]

[daveoc631]

The man himself,thanks that was brilliant.

[LadyMick]

This is wonderful...wish my kids liked Irish music. Thank you.

[callum3003]

[SteviesLastTry]

[cesnor]

You'll love Ireland maybe you've already been, if so what did you think? Its the best country in the world!!- I think!

[opaldove]

[casperld]

I grew up listening to the dubliners, my dad loves them, and I really appreciate him playing these songs to me as a kid. I now live in the States, and have a 1 year old, he is already listening to The Dubliners.
