I was born in Dublin but migrated to Australia in 1970 at six years of age. I don't claim to know much about the troubles but I've yet to listen to this beautiful song without crying.
never mind the troubles.. hopefully those days are behind us now.. this is a song that reaches out too both sides off the invisable divide.. its a great piece off music all ppl from belfast should be proud off.. even tho it took a scots group too write and perform it :)
@peuimporte i don't think many 90s kids knows about them either to be honest...i started to listen to this band just because my father listened to them, otherwise i wouldn't even know they existed.
@deliveryguytoronto...all of my family lives in Northern Ireland...and the problems go far back before you and i were born, the snakes just need to get the hell out of Ireland for good, that would stop most of the problems...the longer they stay the more killing there will be...nowadays the problems between the Catholics and the Protestants arent so much the problem as are the problems between the the english and the Irish...
So sad to see that the meaning of the song is not heard by so many people posting here. Seeing all the arguing on this page.... You really got the message there people...... At least TRY to let go of the hate, as hard as it may be. And maybe then we can all work together towards a better future.
People of Ireland, please help me understand how things got so bad is your wonderful country? I'm a English Protestant who was born and raised in 95% French Catholic Quebec. I have no love for the separatists but love the culture and the people. They have almost outlawed English in Quebec, but yet not one bullet had been fired over it. Why is 2012 is there still hate and bitterness between the religions in Ireland? Thx.
@deliveryguytoronto Ill answer all your questions if you answer a few of mine I spent 6 months in Canada im a Irish man living in New Zealand
Why do you a so called Canadian treat your natives like shit and still do as second class citizens’ e.g. Mohawk tribe and the Iroquois nation? These where the same people that helped you (the French) defeat the English (hence why you speak French and that is the only reason) at the cost of hundreds of thousands on lives both sides
@deliveryguytoronto Remember you stated not a shot fired right I think not both sides slaughtered till the ground ran red read your own history properly so I suggest you take that log of wood out of your eye before asking me to explain as a Irish man the wee speck of wood in mine or perhaps learn to read in English real history not the corrupt garbage that’s rammed into you at school
@deliveryguytoronto As a visitor I was treated like shit in Quebec my only fault being I didn’t speak a bastartised form of French How come even the French don’t like you So when you can come up with some answers ill give you mine
Last question how come in 2012 Quebec still wants to separate its self from Canada
The rest of Canada was great but Quebec nice place apart from the French speakers
as a protestant living along the border on the republic side life was hell, intimidation was rife as was murder, we just kept our heads down and hoped nobody worked out what our religion was

totally agree celt :) truer words i think u have never said :0 oh and happy new year m8 :) and ofc this goes out 2 every1 :) i send u all my best wishes for the new year from ireland :) and i hope this message gets 2u no matter where u are in the world at this time :) gl all :)
@shittyfagg ok soo your a nit picker ;( hmmmmmmmmm typical :( does it really matter ? what i write ? u2 o2 r2 b2 a2 wtf ? does it really matter ? :) omg get a bloody life m8 :) your a very nit picking highly strung irish person ;) chilllllllll out m8 :) go with the flow :)
the deaths were squabbles over land, however trouble exists in that region because of protestants looking after catholic children. The peep o day boys. Then its brittish rule flogging workers, cruel landlords.
Sgt Walker RM. Belfast Lough, Palace Barracks, Rathlin Isle, along the border area, Amah, hunting for the IRA and the Provo’s. Neither side won. Compromise in the end prevailed.
this belfast child will never sing at all,as long as secterian hatred,secterian bands are trying 2 bully their way down our streets :( when we have complete equal rights ,and no majority rule ,then myb my kind will sing like the free birds of ireland :) until then its best i keep it zipped ........ why oh why cant loyalist bands just stay and play in their own areas ? where they seem 2 be welcome ,the we can all live happy :) oh and amazing song :0 ty for posting :)
@TheGlenmanusskinhead Because loyalists are all out to show how superrior they are mate, if you're from Nothern Ireland, you'll know that they are all scum, obsessed with power, money, greed, and above all, hatred for Catholics, basicaly, a bunch of selfish neanderthals that dont have a brain between them.
Toddlers don't see colour, they don't see religion or culture, they just see beauty. May the children of Ireland see beauty in their future now and for ever.
Well... I don't know how was that shit in your country but I was born in north of france in coal mines palces and it was a kind of belfast place I think. understand me or not but as we are all humans when I'm listening this song I just want to cry.
my heart bleeds some ignorent people in this world the peace in my country shows how much a human cant not tolerate this shit we all have to live side by side why ruin our childrens future peace

Screw the troubles, what did it achieve. 3000 people dead for what. Religion is man made bullshit. Rip to the people who died, no matter what religion they were, just think of what they might have achieved if they had lived.
@setter55 Excellent - nice to see we now have atheists who are intolerant of others and spread the hate - besides your confusing english imperialism,greed,materialism etc with spirituality. I guess that it is inevitable that in a culture more materialistic, violent and intolerant as any that went before you would go for the dopey old religion scapegoat rather than the age old human condition. Those that were killed wouldnt appreciate your mocking of their beliefs added to the mix I am sure.
@setter55 It's not about religion. It's about culture. In Ulster and Glasgow you have had a battle between the Irish and the Scots for dominance. They should unite and tell the Zionist London bankers to fuck off.
@setter55 The troubles had nothing to do with religion, I agree it is bullshit, but the troubles had a deeper cause to brush it off as just about religion or even mainly about religion is to show ignorance of the history.
@conorucd Religion had a major part in the troubles .... the 6 counties are a part of britain because the majority of the population are protestant and Great Britain is dominantly protestant and the Catholics who are in those 6 counties want a 32 county nation (Ireland) .... obviously this creates conflict in which the troubles were.
@Specialk1719 The troubles have nothing to do with religion, the demographics of the 6 counties is split into catholic and protestant (mostly) but the troubles had nothing to do with religion.
Simple minds were the biggest band on the planet at one time..I think u2 even supported them?U2 took the next step and simple minds did not? I still love their music...
My heritage lies in the extremes of both sides of the troubles.
Whether your lips speak of Tiocfaidh ár lá or No Surrender I wish all in Northern Ireland a Happy Christmas & Peace filled new year. Reconciliation and Love.......... at the end of everything.
This is a classic track, but I do remember it caused huge controversy when it was released. It was at the height of the troubles in 1989, and many from Ulster were upset that a Scottish band were making money from their plight.
@Paddy234 Thats right Paddy. You keep killing the women and children. Heres a great idea. Why dont you hold hands with the other side while youre doing it. Prick.
@chanctonbury63 Only British force's are the legitimate target by the IRA, no point in yapping about it just because you support British rule as it won't change reality here
@chanctonbury63 Gaddaffi isn't the republics friend you ignorant ejiot hes was the Northern irish Ira's ''friend''.And Libya is in northern Africa you idiot.And my point is you dear call a people who wan't freedom terrorists whilst it was your country who invaded and terrorized the world.
@JordoF6 Well at least weve got it straight that Libya is in North Africa and Gadaffi armed the IRA. You really need to get over the history lesson tho` and move on w your life. Its in the past.
@chanctonbury63 you probably dont know about all the shit the british did to ireland for over 200 years, over 1 million people died because of their ignorance
@clippy2010 Yes I do have a pretty good idea thanks. My Grandpa was in the Black and Tans for a while which is not something that fills me with great pride to be honest.
@chanctonbury63 at least you realise, im not angry with unionists in general, just those who march in the streets honouring the murders of hundreds of irish folk
I`m walking the beat on the Shankill 30 years ago when I hear this.... Going for breakfast at Michaella`s kitchen, corner of Agnes Street.... good luck
@chanctonbury63 Everything, for sure. That is why I voluntarily inform at youtube an unknowing emptyheaded person like you. That is what a nice person I am, instead of you.
Beautiful Song!!! I hope that Catholic people and Protestant people in Belfast live in peace whith each other. I am Protestant, but I don't want tho be my Catholic brothers and sisters are be punischment by the "Orange-marches" of the Protestant brothers through the Catholic area's in Belfast. I hope it's gonna be peace in this City of Belfast!!! It's a bloody shame to see how christians (catholic or protestant) who became to each other to fight for the freedom on their own religion. PEACE!!!
Love this band! Coming to norway 21"th february:) Its gonne be a blast!!!

This is a classic track, but I do remember it caused huge controversy when it was released. It was at the height of the troubles in 1989, and many from Ulster were upset that a Scottish band were making money from their plight.

@Paddy234 Thats right Paddy. You keep killing the women and children. Heres a great idea. Why dont you hold hands with the other side while youre doing it. Prick.

@chanctonbury63 Only British force's are the legitimate target by the IRA, no point in yapping about it just because you support British rule as it won't change reality here

@JordoF6 Well at least weve got it straight that Libya is in North Africa and Gadaffi armed the IRA. You really need to get over the history lesson tho` and move on w your life. Its in the past.

Beautiful Song!!! I hope that Catholic people and Protestant people in Belfast live in peace whith each other. I am Protestant, but I don't want tho be my Catholic brothers and sisters are be punischment by the "Orange-marches" of the Protestant brothers through the Catholic area's in Belfast. I hope it's gonna be peace in this City of Belfast!!! It's a bloody shame to see how christians (catholic or protestant) who became to each other to fight for the freedom on their own religion. PEACE!!!
