There Were Roses - Irish Song

[scouseprovo]

If the Brits hadnt come over and making their own borders,false borders that is.but this vid is crap,it onlt tells one side,,typical eh...support the peace process a new ireland!

[frostbite889]

Am I the only one who understands that this songs neither for Britain or the irish its for us all its meant to show the idiocy of the troubles its a song about how we need peace not violance...

[meggymoo2997]

I'm so sorry about what the brits did. SORRY

[lookatmepleasesir]

was it specifically England that persecuted the Irish so much or the British in general?

[Sunnihunnibunni]

Why is there a picture of Sophie Scholl, one of the leaders of the White Rose at 5.35, I understand she fought for freedom but she distibuted propaganda about the Nazis in Germany and led the student movement. I can understand the thinking behind it, but I, personally, think it is out of place.

[MrEnglishLeprechaun]

oh for fucs sake let go out of the religious fight and try and listen to the song

[LilxMamii2]

what you guys are saying has nothin to do with the song? & Ireland rocks man! <3 i would lobve to go there one day I have a friend there and my ancestors are from there they had to immagrate to Newfoundland, So ppl stfu:)

[666leppy]

I read alot of these comments and alot people have so nuch hatered agasint wach other isn't time we stop all the hate and learn 2 live with one another for our childerns sake make it a better world, this country has seen 2 much violence!!!!

[PyroGhost913]

I think that the Irish are the only ones that can make Ireland united. They have to stop with the religion, and whether your from north, south, or England. Some things are more important than what version of Christian you are.

[ScotiExile]

I'm protestant & a staunch IRA supporter, I denounce civilian killings, but the british presence in Eire must depart.

Tiocfaidh ar la.

[michaelbq68]

I Like this song ;-)



[MrBoxmusic90]

Just noticed in the ,, video ,, no pictures of the brittish army killing or kicking doors down , just that old religious hate thing , that they , The BRITTISH CREATED , TYPICAL... bull

[DesolationoftheDolls]

@MrBoxmusic90 I looked for those, but unfortunately they seem to be primarily nonexistent. And I'm a devout Catholic, btw.

You'll also notice that at 5:40 I placed the blame for the conflitc squarely on the shoulders of the British Parliament.

[irishsean4u]

Ive heard many versions of this song, this is the most beautiful of them.

[ekilpatrick0]

Northern Ireland will always be Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland will always be Republic of Ireland - fuckin deal with it, it will never change! Two countries will stay as they are, get a grip on your life you IRA!

[BoredProjects]

It wasnt about religion! But freedom of Ireland! 26 + 6 = 1

Many Protestants fought for the IRA!

[metisman100]

@BoredProjects  many protestants did not fight because thay thot that if brittin left they would not have the right to be protestants

[clodaghmxo123]

@BoredProjects  gon fup

[lookatmepleasesir]

@BoredProjects and many of the IRA want to kick the protestants out because of their british ancestry

[BoredProjects]

It wast about religion! But freedom of Ireland! 26 + 6 = 1

Many Protestants fought for the IRA!

[KevinTantillo]

One day Ireland will be one again

[riley7]

Wow.

[TheSandsie13]

wouldn't it be nice if both sides would listen to this song? maybe they'd grab a brain and stop the stupidity before the next generation follows their stupid example.

[WILCOX11B]

Beautiful song. Well done & love the message as well.

[DesolationoftheDolls]

@WILCOX11B thank you.

[MikeUSUK87]

RIRA/IRA stop your hate, killing and your acts that distant man. Catholics must want peace and take the hand of their Protestant neigbours. Protestants must be able to forgive the IRA for all their ill doings upon the land. It is not easy.

[Paddy234]

@MikeUSUK87 It has nothing to do with religion, it's about unifying this great nation for good so we can move forward together

[Sunnihunnibunni]

@MikeUSUK87 @MikeUSUK87 I think what is important to remember is that both sides did wrong. Not just one side. Each had their own opinions and went to extremes to try and get it, at the cost of innocent people. It's not for one side to forgive another. It's for an entire nation to forget and forgive. It's a hard thing to do. To forget hundreds of years of conflict. We all have to work together to make it work. xxx

@MikeUSUK87

What about the protestant loyalist (orange order) who march through Catholic neighborhoods? The orange order is the klan without a hood. So fuck off and learn the facts. Let's not forget about how some protestants supported the Nationalist while they (some protestants) were persecuted by the anglicans. Later that changed in the 1800s when the english figured they could use the protestants (non anglicans) they once despised against the Catholics/Nationalist/Republic­ans.

[DesolationoftheDolls]

@AmericanFenian There never would have been a problem in the first place if the British government could just leave people alone.

[AmericanFenian]

@DesolationoftheDolls

Where did that come from? I was simply explaining to Mike how the sectarian divide came about in as many characters as YT allows.
