The Dubliners- The Unquiet Grave

[patrickspoint]

I love Luke's voice, Oh how I love it

[kingbilgames]

Chad and co. Though the Dubliners are an Irish band, this song is an English folk song.

[ChadCMulligan1]

Irish schmaltz. Goes great with Irish malts. Get drunk and teary-eyed maudlin every night in an Irish pub, then kiss your master's arse in the morning. God bless the anodyne of the sad tale and the penny whistle. Yeats: "Ireland shall have freedom and you shall break stone."

[michrophonegirl2]

this song is about somewone sitting on his wifes grave.

[EireRepublic32]

Luke, I only wish you could be here to see how many hearts you have touched with this song. For me anyway, this song is dedicated to my wonderful & beautiful mother Gretta Mc A, who without any question or doubt, rests very very close to our lord Jesus himself, and next to you Luke. R.I.P

[Teddyb1939]

[gageman70]

Wow, I've been listening to a band called Ween for a few years and they have this song called Cold Blows the Wind, and I just started listening to the Dubliners and I found this song by chance and Cold Blows the Wind is a cover of this!

[achsfootball2009]

Luke's hair is epic

[elrossoelrosso]

Y e know what? Im born and raised on luke kelly and out of curiosity I tried listening to a few other versions of this song but just noone can own it the same way luke owned any song or ballad that he sung.

RIP Mo Chara

[Abrideatlast]

I learnt this ballad when I was doing literature in high school. Its been yrs now but I haven't forgotten a word. I never knew someone had sung it with such beautiful music. Thank you Luke Kelly. RIP.

[seaxwielder]

A lovely version of this traditional English ballad which goes back to the beginning of the 15th century.

[larwhelan]

never been a greater balladeer!! not once have i ever heard him sing a song and not thought yeah he really really gets the meaning of that and it means something to him! sorely missed by the music world a talent like luke comes around very very rarely and when it does it rarely gets the recognition it deserves! god i fuckin hate pop music!!

[praskovia13]

crackin song for a wake GB Lukey x

[Mickeyoldkent]

This poem " The Unquiet Grave" dates from the 1400's at the time of the Black Death

[SAF57]

I just love the photo in this one. That is Luke as I remember him - purple shirt an' all!! And throwing his hair around as he sang - and always with his knees moving to the rhythm of the songs! Unforgettable!

[dubb1995]

Was there ever a more heartbreaking performance of any song ?

Luke Kelly, the most beautiful voice i ever heard. To see the state of music today makes me despair. Performers like Luke are gone forever it seems.....but never forgotten.

[aeunuchsthroat]

"My time be long, my time be short, tomorrow or today, may GOD in Heaven have all my soul, but I'll kiss your lips of clay."

I love that line. All conditions and stipulations be damned. All that matters is desire and intent. But above all else, Spirit is supreme and all encompassing. 93. Love is the law. Love under will.

[feurzug]

wow - beauriful and haunting - is an understatement

[bellerace1]

Beautiful song, sang masterfully as usually.R.I.P Luke always in our hearts.

A bitter, bitter-sweet tune and song, my 'one true love' has also died. But what a magnificent voice. No-one like Luke, a tragic early death.
