Self-indulgent shite.

[dreamcatcher2398]

What a beautiful, beautiful song. Only the Irish can touch your heart like this!

[3348klompie]

I am dutch but anytime I hear this beautifull song it makes me cry and iam 65 years i hope i can hear this song for a long time

[xeiroe]

This song always makes me sob uncontrollably,

[lukedude147]

this is a really good camp song and should be our national anthem........ when ireland is united

[matrix4022]

In a untied Ireland, this should be the national anthem, it's less militant than the soldier song, and it sounds a hundred times better. I'm a protestant but I'm not against a united Ireland. Wish it was played at Ireland Rugby games for the national anthem - hearing everyone sing it at the beginning would be epic.

[MusicBandit2]

It doesnt matter what nationality you are. Im English. My boyfriend is half Irish and he sings this to me all the time. I love this song because Its so meaningful and beautiful. Just appreciate the thought that went into this song.

[1bolter1]

we scots send our love to you all xxxx

[1bolter1]

god bless us all

[kevdarke]

For all you English haters get your facts right and start pointing your venom in the right direction, namely the English aristocracy and not the working class English. In my family my dad suffers from his time working in he pits. One of my Grandads died from black lung from the coal mines and an another died before I was born after an accident in the cotton mills. So you can see this is one bunch of English that were not out persecuting the rest of the world.

[iri1mao1]

Gosh... absolutely love this...so beautiful.. God Save Ireland

the glasgo celtic number #1

[Kerriangel]

i was born in 1994 meaning that my childhood wasn't one of terror and fear of being shot or blown up like it had been for my parents. apart from the odd time like the riots in July we've been able to show the world that we really have moved from the horrors of The Troubles and hopefully that violence and hatred for each other over politics and religion will stay where it belongs, in the past

I am proud to say that I am Irish and i always will be

[antonSS88]

God bless beautiful Catholic Ireland ;)

Hail Hail from Belgium !

[LAMPARDvsGERRARD]

100% irish LOVE IRELAND SO MUCH :)

Young Munster for life :)

Geraldines A.F.C for national cup :)

There will never be United Ireland because Irish population will commit suicide if they took in Northern Ireland.

[AyLa849]

such a sad time for my nation! growing up in ireland , you learn of the horrors we were put through by the british and our own people at times! through all that we still stand strong and speak our native language with pride and dignity. pray for all those who were wronged in the past, not just in ireland but all over the world. im proud to call myself Irish!

[britneyfanBelfast]

this makes me proud to be Irish

one of the best songs of all tme

[ScemoX1]

fantastic true life lyrics , this has to be my most favorite irish song of all time , i sing the mary duff version in my show and it always goes down very well , great tune

[canadense]

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man calling

Nothing matters Mary when you're free,

[anthonyb12341]

this makes me proud to be irish :) we went through so much a nation but still we stand tall !! up the irish !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrAussierocker]

It amazes me that people can write such beautiful ballads. This is one of the best I have heard. I can actually feel for all the convicts being transported to Botany Bay. Those poor wretches separated from their families for ever. They must have endured horrendous conditions in those ships and when they finally landed in a foriegn land. This is one of those songs that makes the hair on the back of my neck shiver.

[Vajiko]

[Al4338]

You don't need particular political sympathies to enjoy this. I'm Irish and I love Jerusalem by William Blake. It's a beautiful song and that's all that should be required. A toast to both our green and pleasant lands. The past is dead, long live the future!

[TOOTYMIKEY]

Beautiful. Though it was a little fuzzy, I think it was very well put together and brought back my own memories of being in Ireland not long ago.

[thedarkmusician]

when i first heard this song, many years ago, i thought it was 'the fields of apple pie', because it was sung badly :P. i love it though, and always reminds me of better times.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

The Government gets the tax - not the Queen/Crown. :-)

[91Feebs]

@cgrfc1 green never stood for catholicism. it was for the nationalists and no not every nationalist was/is catholic. officially the colours never stood for anything.

[millwall33]

any one else brought up that the old man told them its green white gold not orange

[SarahFxxx]

I was always told that the flag was green white and gold. I still call it green white and gold lol. =D xxx♥♥♥xxx

[caoimhe2k8]

ive been to athenry :D

[Ponk3n]

It's a wonderful song. Love from Sweden!

[josparkes]

Beautiful song

[josparkes]

Brilliant song depicting the story of the dark times, and the pain of starvation in innocent families and the struggle for being independent of abusive landlords.

[AnAutumnsDay]

Utterly beautiful !!

[whisperinglindas]

Lovely song with much meaning

[FootyMadCorey]

I LOVE THIS SONG and a couple of mistakes.....i know every celtic song of b heart I LOVE CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB...........LOW LIE THE FEILDS OF ATHENRY!!!!!!!! MON THE HOOPS!!!

[antiscratchy]

and "I rebelled they CUT me down"

sorry...

[Mclovinreturns]

yeah i just copied and pasted lol

[AnnoyingTypoSyndrome]

@antiscratchy:

amazing how such songs help you, during a little stretch.

[daniellindsay007]

@antiscratchy

What a stupid comment. Australia, South Africa, India, America..... they all rebelled against the English and won. Actually it was a bunch of spear throwers in SA that kicked your butt. If it was the Scottish, Irish or Welsh they probably wouldn't have because the aren't an arrogant, self serving nation like the English. The only people who like the English are the English, the rest of the world just tolerates you when it comes to business, but personally NO ONE LIKES YOU, fact.

[standupEFC]

@daniellindsay007 No they didn't idiot learn history and there's no such thing as being English you moron just like there's such thing as being French or Italian or even Spanish. If you are born in England to Irish parents does that make you English?. England is a mongrel nation where their is now 1 indigeneous people. There were Black soldiers and Indian Soldiers that fought for the empire. I'm Albanian and I'm not fond of England either. But very few people in England are actually English.

[antiscratchy]

I bet Micheal's greatgreatgrandchildren are happy to be in sunny Australia rather than rainy Ireland.. :P

I wish my greatgreat granddad had stolen a loaf of bread.

AMAZING SONG!!!!

thanks for posting..

ps.. it's "Micheal they HAVE TAKEN you away" not are taking you away.. present perfect.

[31219a]

just great to see the images of Ireland and Athenry

[Michal103818]

Thanks for video and lyrics, i have been living in Dublin for 4 years already and i obviously heard football and rugby fans singing this song..then once when i went to Galway i saw the sign "Athenry", so i know, where that place is. I really like this song.

[steve10130]

its sad that britishs armys did that do the irish my grandpa told me the story man i wana go to ireland

[DrNSalmon]

I've been to Athenry. Everyone should visit Ireland at least once. It is a magical nation. The land, the people, the music, the beauty. After a few days there one could almost be persuaded that there really are leprechauns.

[Mclovinreturns]

i want to go to ireland, because my grandparents are originally from there

[girayhankaya]

@Mclovinreturns i have no material relation to ireland but i want too,cause ireland seems the only place to live romantic patriotism

[fact7ho]

@DrNSalmon FO'SHO!!! I'm proud to be half IRISH!

[DrNSalmon]

There are few places as beautiful as western Ireland, and few songs about the region as lovely as this heart-wrenching masterpiece from the great Irish poet/songwriter, Pete St. John.

[Mclovinreturns]

i agree completely, have you ever been to ireland?

I havent

[josparkes]

Great, simply great !

Merry Xmas all

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

Athenry is a small town near Galway City, Ireland. It's on the rail line from Dublin. Galway City was the gateway to the northwest, the area most affected by the famine in the 1840s.

The famine changed Ireland, motivating the Irish to organize to drive out the abusive landlords, develop pride in their ability to govern themselves (Sein Fein), and develop political strategies and effective political institutions to prepare for independent nationhood.

[josparkes]

Many thanks for the info, I love knowing what really happened during that dark time when the nation bled, and Trevelyan and the crown said market forces would provide, ultimately opting out. That really helped Ireland at the time, whilst Michael, desperate, stole corn for his starving babiesand got sent to prison for caring !This is only a little bit of the history I know, but I am interested.

[Generalbob117]
