You know, I've been listening to these guys my entire life. No, really, the day I was born was their very first show as a band, and I was there. I was early, and my parents were planning on going to the show anyways, but she went into labor a wee bit early, but hell, when I heard the Dropkick Murphys were playing, who wouldn't wanna come out!?!?
Who cares if they aren't all Irish? I'm mostly German, but I celebrate Irish culture more than other Irish-Americans who only take out their heritage as an excuse to get hammered.
@therockrules2777 Totally ... shivers each time I listen to it. Possibly one of their best songs, and shows a real growth in their abilities as musicians and writers.
My little 18 month old granddaughter closes her eyes, raises her hands and cries when this song comes on, if you turn it off she gets pissed and wants it played again. It's a song for the soul.
Seen these guys live...They're one of my favorite bands, They are fucking awesome live..They sound just as good live..Everyone owes it to themselves to go see a Dropkick Concert..Its amazing.. I'll go see them everytime they come near where I'm at.. I'm Army so I move around alot...But they are well worth seeing live, trust me
@crowdog357 Marine vet here. I plan on having their version of Amazing Grace and this song played at my funeral. (smile) Best wishes on your career with the Marines.
@falcom2012 its not the battle of shiloh its the Civil War of America. note that close to the end it says: No prayer, no promise, no hand of god, could save the souls of the blue and grey! blue as in north USA and grey as in south USA. also note the "1861" near the beginning
This song hauntingly and personally recounts the Irish immigrants who fought on both sides of "Lincoln's War." Check out also the great song "Paddy's Lament," sung among others by Sinead O'Connor. Also, the epic film "Gangs of New York," which includes all the above. Millions of us in America had Irish forefathers who fought in that atrocity of a war.
beautiful song, i'm gonna say its about the civil war in america and an Irish regiment probably recent immigrants? thats all i could find on it, any other ideas?
hard to imagine a band one up'ing themselves every cd but they managed to do it yet again. Hands down one of their best tunes of all times here. Amazing!

This song refers to the battle of Fort Sumter. The first shots of the civil war were fired at Fort Sumter, South Carolina in April of 1861.
However, the song is not about that battle, but rather the horror of that war.
PS: Shiloh was a battle in the American Civil War that took place in April of 1862.
