[Brandonflowersreally]

thanks quaddo for all your info about this song

[LukiiexD]

Google Watchers & Hunters.

Christian band, Music for God not for themselves.

Thats what bands should be doing.

[quaddo]

It was first recorded by Ceoltóirí Chualann, then later done instrumentally by The Chieftains.

Other recordings: Bob James (1976), Ronnie Montrose (1986), The Christians (aka Words, 1989), Sinéad O'Connor (1995), Alan Stivell (1995), Mike Oldfield (1996), Kate Bush (1996), Sarah Brightman (aka So Many Things, 1998).

[quaddo]

The original is titled 'Women Of Ireland' (Mná na h-Éireann) and is an Irish song composed by Seán Ó Riada (1931-1971). The poem, on which the music is based, was written by Peadar Ó Dornín (1704-1769). Usually it falls under the category of Irish rebel music. It honours the memory of the women dedicated to Ireland, specifically the Irish nationalist movement.

[rokusho63]

is this true, roger christian dead? that's really sad. what a great singer. strangely enough i just bought his cd and am eagerly awaiting delivery. very sorry to hear this news.

[alantew]

sorry to tell you this -but I really cant believe that this news hasn,t filtered through over the years- we are talking about Roger Christian of the Christian brothers -

Roger died about ten years ago from a Brain Tumour - he had been ill for a while but was looked after by his long time Partner Ingrid - my wifes best friend I had the privelige to talk to Roger on the telephone - after we took his kids on the Narrowboat - A lovely man , Just Roger - but sadly he passed away soon after

[rokusho63]

thanks alantew- all i can say is: gone but never forgotten. sorry to say the news passed me by. got his cd in the post very recently and what a talent he was. not many people will leave such a brilliant legacy. R.I.P. roger.

[luvpump1]

Who did the majority of the lead vocals on "The Christians" album pls

[alantew]

As I understand from what Susie tells me - in the early days - Roger was the lead vocal with gary as second

[lefaguais]

I've been looking for this song since 12 years! Didn't know who sang it! Thanks for uploading!

[double0ten]

[dazycass]

@Valormok you sick fuck

[choclatesaltyballz]

first time ive seen garry without his shades!

[earx23]

this does steal form an old irish folk song. but it's a good steal. listen to how they play the bass, for instance. complex, and very harmonic. it really does add to the melody. i always liked the video, as well.

[billyfisherboy]

what a load of old shit lol

[sugarpaddy08]

Plagerism, i think its called ...note for note of a very old irish song Mná na hEireánn

[alantew]

Yes but its good though

[samuelaure]

do you know the name of the village?

[chtephoune]

Marly-Gomont je pense.

[samuelaure]

quel est le nom de ce village?

[davesevaw]

religion is death war, hate , pain ,malipulation, fear, anger, oppresion . Please stop being a god beleiver it hurts us all. Why would you be part of something that has cause so much pain in this world

[81MJT]

Jesus Christ didn't condone any of those things. If you really know and love God then your life is full of love and kindness, not hate. Love of God and fellow man brings peace. Unfotunately too many have twisted the scriptures and taken bits literally and out of context - without the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual renewing of the mind. Man's ignorance and selfish desires start wars. Love for each other, as taught by Jesus Christ, does not.

[1000senbonzakura]

[viviryoung]

MARAVILLOSA... FANTASTICA! 5******

[claudia2204allways]

one of the great song of THE CHRISTIANS...i love them

[missindy29]

I was going through a tough time when this song first came out, cried every time i heard it. And i played it so i could cry! It felt like the words were meant just for me, which was crazy. Listening to it now is so different, it still has meaning to me, though i can listen to it with no tears now.

[ChezCozDaz]

i am trying to get there missindy29

[manouritou]

magnifique...

[kikujirofromkyoto]

Beautiful song. IT's just ageless. I used to love it in my teenage years and I still do now!

Well done the Christians

[CateRen100]

Years ago, when the Christians were in the charts I was applying for a visa at the US Embassy in London to work in the States, and I had a Christians tape in my Walkman. When my bag was searched and the guard saw the tape he thought I was some kind of fundamentalist. After a lot of explaining I got him to listen to the tape and he let me through. When I got my visa and was leaving the smae guard asked me to write down the name of the group and tape because he really liked the music!

[59slasher]

that s a photo of life and what else ?

[PANTERAcfhGETCHAPULL]

God is a cunt cum guzzling douch bag

[SaraJeanM]

cum guzzling yes sounds about right

[RhondaSK]

If you like this and you like to listen to new young talent, check out 15 year old Brittany Kwasnik and her original song BREATHE on You Tube. She is songwriter, guitarist and singer. She is really great. If you like her too, rate her song, post a comment and subscribe to her music videos. I love her!!!!!!!!

[wizzear]

they're not about religion...who is?!?!? organized religion is the source of all evil!

religion sucks!...i believe in being the best human being possible!, do good around you! and that's what life is about

...oh! and good song by the way!

[BloSig]

nah..its fundamentalism not religion...fundamentalism is evil... examples of fundamentalism:

-religion is the source of all evil

-non-christians are the source of all evil

-jews are the source of all evil

etc.

[snoopi213]

PUKE everywhere, Christian rock sucks ass, and don't even get me started on christian metal!

if your wondering view my channel

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx502]

these guys are not a religious band they are brothers from liverpool whos sirname is christian.

[stevenuenosmith]

That's their last name.

[zndernaam]

maybe not relion but maybe they have the same name

[soufloyd007]

i really like this song but i don't like the words of chrisitans cause i am not christians not because i am talking about racism bu i am don't lie this words cause simply i am muslim

[davegunning4700]

they are not called christians because of their religion...................loo­k up

[AcaciaTheatre]

That is their Name.

Do you realize what you are writing? You don't like the word Christian because you are a Muslim! So I shouldn't like the word muslim, Mohammed or Ramadan? I know a person whose name is Ramadan. I shouldn't want to say her name? Such thinking is sad. Without such narrowminded way of thinking, the relations between humans would be much easier.

[Enaragon]

Many Christians are not saved out there. In fact, few christians are saved at all. Go to bjnewlife(.)org for more info.

[SUNSHINESBETER]

not bad for scousers!! ...... lovely tune lads!

[fififunfunfun]

was this song used in a movie?

[euwalk]

not that I know

[rodkins]

Yes...actually the band ripped off the melody from the movie 1975 Stanley Kubrick film "Barry Lyndon." It's from a composition called "Women of Ireland" and can also be accessed on Youtube. The Chieftains have a nice rendition.

[fififunfunfun]

cheers thanks, The Chieftains version very nice

[david3203]

this is a beautiful song

[christophenordfrance]

J'adore

[alounette29]

Tout simplement magnifique.

[truth8881]

Barack Obama is the beast,Louis Farrakhan is the false prophet,and Oprah Winfrey is the harlot.

[odinata]

And truth881 is the village idiot.

[rodkins]

Technically, Jeremiah Wright would be considered the false prophet since he is/was Mr. Obama's spiritual advisor.

[TECKMASSE]

Hello you are in my playlist "SOUL FUNK"

[latinforever1]

How loving and compassionate are the factory farms of you? only an evil soul would do to animals- God's creatures- what you all do to them.

too quick to ask God for compassion yet uncapable of giving the same to animals

damn your factory farms and slaughterhouses, how you ignore their cries of horror, too selfish to see it. SELFISHNESS dominates your heart.

hypocrets

u think loving God is going to church and memorizing the bible?

[roethinger]

Irlande!!! Je veux y retourner!!! ;-)

[fin151]

its a fantastic song by a fantastic band.will these muppets below this comment just accept it, go mutilate their gonads and move on.feckin dopes.

[publicsenemy91]

I hate everyone equally

you can't tear that out of me

no segregation, separation

just me and my world of enemies

I never said I wanted to be gods disciple

I"ll never be the one to blindly follow

I"ll never be the one to bear the cross disciple

I reject this fuckin race!

I despise this fuckin place!

[WhiteManZX]

Crucify the so called Lord

He soon shall fall to me

Your souls are damned your God has fell

To slave for me eternally

Man made virus infecting the world

Self-destruct human time bomb

What if there is no God would you think the fuckin' same

Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith

Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say

I got my own philosophy

[JALMAR169]

Get a Fuckin' CLUE- It's the Family name. Go harASS athiest YOU FUCKS

Garry Christian (born 27 February 1955, Liverpool) (lead vocals), Roger Christian (born 13 February 1950 - died 8 March 1998 from brain tumour) (vocals, instrumentalist), Russell Christian (born 8 July 1956) (keyboards, saxophone, vocals),

[sloansarockstar]

my comment was towards NauticalFILMS

[DalThalas]

Wait wait I feel like I'm in an elevator. -_-

[exacerbatedtaboo]

That first singer sounds like he may have had a cock or two in his mouth at one time in his life or the other.

[Sumkrazyguy55]

STOP FLAMING ABOUT RELIGON!!! ALL THIS MAGICAL NONSENSE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIDEO! THE BAND's NAME IS THE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE ITS THEIR FUCKING LAST NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chizimeo]

Can we all just enjoy this good music please

[NauticalFILMS]

Holy bible speaks... Be careful with socialism in U.S. This country has turn to the sniffing dogs of christians (similar to Nazi 1941).

Becareful... Do not spread christianity in bad economic times. Stay down. Keep your mouths Quiet. Do you christians understand?

Socialism is very powerful.

[sloansarockstar]

God is more powerful that you, me, socialism, the economy, anything you try to argue. He created the earth and he is the big man controling everything. I believe he is letting these bad economic times happen for a reason and it is our job, my job, as a christian to rise above and put our faith in him because he will get us through it if he brings us to it. WE CHRISTIANS UNDERSTAND that we need to be LOUDER and Work HARDER to MAKE JESUS CHRIST FAMOUS. Salvation, Jesus Christ is very powerful!

[funkstinkler]

will god hate me for putting things in my rectum?

[davegunning4700]

no your doctor will , ass hole

[euwalk]

you luv it up the bum? you dirty little man!

[taliesin939939]

Christianity is based in Sun worship.

[CLIPSOUNETTE44]

I like very well this song... :-)

[procommenter]

Modern bench law prescribes that a jersey that proclaims "Jesus is Lord" is contraband in public school, but one which promotes Wicca is not. The Founders, as they'd stated innumerable times, intended that Christianity should have free rein over the land so that the Scriptures would be honored. The federal govt. was forbidden to secularize any denomination of the Christian religion. All collectivists turn the intent of the Framers upside down.

[Damirath]

Framers, moar liek Jewmers rite me nigga? Actually, the framers were to busy fucking the female negroids to give a fuck if the united states turned into the jewnited states.

[taliesin939939]

racism is ignorance. racism is ignorance. question: Do you have all your teeth? :D

[fulltruth]

That's because Wicca doesn't make exclusive truth claims. As soon as Christians stop doing that, they'll get the same treatment as Wiccans.

[procommenter]

All philosophies claim righteousness.

[looping69008]

good

[newwaynewlook]

Huge absolutly huge, feeling flying with peace

Nice voice plant of groove close to blues trying to reach the "blue note"..If only i ..If only i could finde words to..."

[cyanideisreal]

dude, crazy christian crackers. that is all.

[wakingneddevine]

Quit talking about religion and enjoy the flippin' song.

[davegunning4700]

its not about religon, their name was christian s two brothers

[yumeshuki]

God hates all! he shall burn all you scumbags down to the face of the earth. He is angered by how you abuse his name in stupid slogans like GOD BLESS AMERICA and the national anthem. America does not deserve any blessing from no one, but a middle finger to the brain washing religion. Fuck religion!

[procommenter]

When is your parole hearing?

[judoyodan]

Christianity is a mental disorder. It should be treated as such.

[derelictdegrac3]

AMEN!

[francoisaromero]

que gran tema, cancion para escuchar muy tranquilamente en la hamaca con una cervecita

[Whozaper]

Great song Great voice , and fuck the hypothese of god .

[guitarmaestro078]

I was just kidding... we need reason in this world. Theists are not reasonable.

[guitarmaestro078]

I think we need more mormons too, what those guys believe is really hilarious.

[tantemanfred]

The beginning of the song is taken from the soundtrack of the Kubrick-movie BARRY LYNDON (1975)

[cjoor]

Weeelllllllll.... it's IN the soundtrack alright. It's called 'women of ireland'. Check out the chieftains version at: BmANPPIi168

[darkangel1360]

le monde n'a plus besoin de religion. Ce mode de pensé archaïque doit s'arrêter!

[MathProblemsAtRandom]

stealing someone's name is pathetic

[judoyodan]

Christianity is near an end. Soon to be relegated to the scrap heep of ridiculous superstition.

Only so long can the deluded maintain the level of ignorance that Christianity requires.

Good riddance.

[bunty010862]

wow heavy , deep words

[darkangel1360]

en fait disons qu'un dieu qui favoriserait une religion, plutôt qu'une autre,c'est du grand n'importe quoi,le seul qui favoriserait la division entre les hommes,c'est le diable!

[darkangel1360]

mauvais, bon, ces terme là ne veulent absolument rien dire pour commenter cette vidéo, seul un simpliste voit les choses comme ça, toujours il faut que vous mêliez la religion avec tout et n'importe quoi, et la bible chrétienne n'est pas plus mauvaise que n'importe quelle œuvre religieuse, Et non il n'y a pas de Dieu,rien que d'autre que l'univers lui même.

[anyrumpa]

no me canso de decirte que te quiero.....mi amor...mi vida.....any.....para toño

[matchesison]

After God killed Er, Judah tells Onan to "go in unto they brother's wife." But "Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and ... when he went in unto his brother's wife ... he spilled it on the ground.... And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; wherefore he slew him also." This lovely Bible story is seldom read in Sunday School, but it is the basis of many Christian doctrines, including the condemnation of both masturbation and birth control. 38:8-10

[matchesison]

"And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him." What did Er do to elicit God's wrath? The Bible doesn't say. Maybe he picked up some sticks on Saturday. 38:7

[Darkstar2000nds]

Here's proof Jesus isn't son of God. Never washed hair, never changed his sheet ,never shaved, camped out all the time , wore sandel's,smoked hash +salvia when availible.He was a hippi .

[darkangel1360]

le pire,c'est qu'il a raison, euh d'ailleurs, dieu existe t'il?

[darkangel1360]

+1 + 1 +1+1 pour darkstar2000nds

[adrivtt]

sublime

[dallas20007]

Christians are too Ignorance to read the Bible No non-Christians in your house or dont greet them. 2 John 1:10

Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Rom 16:17

Paul, knowing that their faith would crumble if subjected to free and critical inquiry, tells his followers to avoid philosophy. Coloss 2:8

Here are my two personal favorites:

Everyone will have to worship Jesus -- whether they want to or not. Phil 2:10

A Christian cannot be accused of any wrongdoing. Rom 8:33

[DALANERA]

I falled in love with my wife on this song. I called it love. So why trying to search a message to the poop music. The result is her and I; All the rest must be forget. All I know is because that song, there's our love since 15 years. Fuck all the otherr consideration.

[Darkstar2000nds]

Sound's very evil . Shun those who don't agree with the way you believe about god . The Christian Bible is very evil . You just gave the proof it's very evil .

[TiniBorgert]

A great song and a lovely smile at 4:50.

[69mod]

great song....the music is from (women of ireland)

[glutenfree70]

The Christians, 2 brothers from Liverpool (surname Christian) and a guy from Hull (called Priestman) Words from album named Colours, video shot in North Cornwall and theme of song is about love, death and redemption. Listen out for Martin Luther King's ' I have a dream' at the close of song.

[Rikkie46]

A Great Song,I Love It.

Thanx For Posting It,Greetzzz From The Netherlands :D

[waynederland]

This was a brilliant group that made great music like this one!They were a group only,nothing to do with relgion like some misguided people think,it was there last name of the brothers only.

[Apologist325]

Christians, subscribe to my page. I'm new here and want subscribers. Thank you.

[sylverspice]

Sarah Brightman (or someone did it for her) made her own version of this song called "So many things"...I'll tell you, the song is almost identical...

[puppibanana]

I just can't get enough of the ending of this song

[moni2273]

c'est avec autant de plaisir que je la première fois que je redécouvre ce morceau. magnifique.

[dannao5]

wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[plokmantchok]

il n'y a plus de musique comme ça maintenant. de nos jours, les radios nous obligent à ressortir nos vieux disques de la cave. Pauvres de nous !

[TEPPAZ71]

C'est vrai !

[BlueGJW]

Awesome song by an awesome band. Seen them 3 times live - well worth the ticket.

[DrumsAndConcussions]

GOD LISTENS TO SLAYER!
