[exibitions]

Maybe someone here can help me. Forever ago I remember hearing this irish song and the music was slow almost ssad in places, and it had this AMAZING female singer. It seemed to be a really popular song at the time and I can't remember the lyrics artist or the name. Does anyone have ANY idea what I'm talking about?

[MrLeomonkey07]

@exibitions was the song in english? orchestra in the background? give us something to work with here :)

[DJelectfire]

@exibitions Might it be Greensleeves? - I had that song stuck in my head for years trying to remember the song name - thanks to YouTube I finally found it again by accident (actually the story is a bit longer... but nvm)

[brideath]

@exibitions Suil a Ruin maybe?

[scoopr27]

damn I wish I was irish

[TheDarkFrontier]

I'd love to go to them bars in Ireland where they have live bands playing this kind of music all the time while everyone just gets wasted. I wish they had those kind of bands and atmosphere in English pubs :(

[Arcinatus]

@Shadowk17 ha, i'm in the same boat. i'm scottish though, so pretty close.

[Shadowk17]

@Arcinatus haha :P



[gtd675]

@Arcinatus Scottish is gaelic and celtic too so you're in on this too. Congratulations on joining the ranks.

[AyeYirMa]

@gtd675 No, Scottish is Celtic, Gaelic is Celtic, other way round lol :) In Ireland we speak Gaeilge, in Scotland they speak Gàidhlig

[gtd675]

@AyeYirMa Well, close enough. But thank you for the correction.

[legionireland]

[pnyxprez]

Round the rugged rocks the rugged rascal ran

[kapnkrusty1]

Is this the same guy that I worked with in Nashville Tennesse U.S.A? He had a band that played in an Irish pub at Opryland Hotel. They were called Nosey Flynn I think....

[MrAndylishus]

deedle dee deetle dee deettle dee dee

[madfortrad5958]

nice version

[vitalrocker]

I am 1/4 Irish. Do you think that is enough to fully embrace my Irish heritage and just say I am Irish? I sure hope so

[1lightheaded]

@vitalrocker no it is culture not genetic .However how you self identify has bugger all to do with rationality or there would be no white Rastas now . Good luck and fair fucks to you

[vitalrocker]

@1lightheaded holy shit...someones in a bad mood. It's a fucking joke. Now calm down. And really? "fair fucks". I will give you credit for being creative but that was by far the worst insult i have ever seen. Next time, prepare yourself more before looking like an asshole. Now, good day, and have a wondeful Easter, asshole

[Falcon537]

@vitalrocker that's not an insult, its an irish phrase meaning something along the lines of "well done"

[fiver4ever]

@vitalrocker i'm only 1/4 and i think so!

[vitalrocker]

@fiver4ever haha...good...then im not alone

[MmeLucySnowe]

I'm 1/2 Irish!!!!

[SoNotYoou]

Hate it

[ArabianImages]

@SoNotYoou hate what? the song? if so then dont watch it... simple as that

[xosoul6]

@SoNotYoou

You searched Gaelic Storm......I think you meant to search for Bieber...oops. You'll know better next time.

[ViewWatchGori19]

I like Guiness Extra Stout and Boddington's, but I don't even live in Britain and I don't drink much anymore.

[tythew]

I love Irish music I'm part Irish so I guess  that's why : )

[OrthopedicFantasies]

I didn't know that song could be sung badly. Band sounds good though.

[21wwjbd]

[Micahj94]

[1andycody]

[pizzathahut]

[spudman1223]

GUINNESS for all love it we need some cunla

[ChougenbouDon]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[natschaeffer]

i gotta try that stuff...LOL

[larryofthelemurs]

If anyone is interesting, the story of this song is as follows:

In Cork, there was a strike in the Murphy's factory (they don't drink Guinness there,) so the government imported emergency supplies of cider. However, it was shipped half-finished in old brandy barrels, so the alcohol content went through the roof during the voyage from England. As a result, a 3 month supply of cider was drunk in 3 weeks.

[crotchdustinbutters]

says i ill try cider ive heard that its good :)

[mokurai01]

actually emailed them and they sent me the chords for this song too bad iwas drunk and deleted it rofl

[roboGansta]

@Ephraim32

Sainmhíniú sibhse ( irish

[13ShadowsintheGrave]

One of my favorite songs by Gaelic Storm. Seen 'em in concert four times, but they only played this in one of those. Love to get my hands on the exact cider from this song.... mmmmhhh, alchohol.....

[WardyLion]

I found this song by sheer accident and what a happy accident it was. Makes me wish I was at the pub, singing this aloud with all the other inhebriates like me!

Wardy

[WhiteZombie7689]

I normally listen to heavy or symphonic metal, but I have a weird tendency toward Irish folk music. This song is perfect when I feel the effects of the spirits I am imbibing!

[WangasaurusRex]

@WhiteZombie7689 I couldn't agree more

you listen to Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly?

[WhiteZombie7689]

@WangasaurusRex I do, in fact. I choose one or the other when I sit down to listen, though. It depends on how I feel.

[vividdarknesss]

@WhiteZombie7689 I swear, i could of written that exact same comment and it would be true

[WhiteZombie7689]

@vividdarknesss Well, for me, it is partially my drinking habits that influence my music.

[HedwigGraymalk]

Gaelic Storm are an *amazing* band!

[fwanksta]

I FUCKIN LOVE BEING IRISH!!!!!

[AnonomysPerson]

@fwanksta I got to fake being Irish once a week for a job (long story), and those were easily some of the best days outta the summer.

[johnnyradovic]

@fwanksta I envy you so fucking much... :D

[gerhardherm]

Please understand that I mean absolutely no disrespect. There is enough of that going around comment sections. But please don't call a thing dead if it is not. There are dedicated people and orginizations devoted to Irish's continued use and development into the future. For a bit of stats. Take Icelandic which has approx. 320,000 speakers, you could'nt call that a dead language, Irish has 355,000 native/fluent. It may be old but it is like tempered steel, It will outlive us for sure.

[bandgeek0408]

damn good song, irish pride bitches!

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

Thank you, Fin, thank you.

[gypsytutu]

I was fortunate to discover this group only with a CD from a public library-FREE--I never even ripped and burned the songs.  I live in Honolulu, so our exposure to good Celitc music is pretty limited. Saw them in concert at Milwaukee's Irishfest in August 2009--WONDERFUL-- hundreds of people standing on the picnic tables singing along !! What a fun night!

[IMJACKTHERIPPER]

very god

[shaunyb42]

Ah nothing like a pint O' cider on a hot summer day ;)

[roboGansta]

A humorous drink song. There's also another nice beer song sung by by Tom T Hall - I like Beer. Just check this one out, and you all might like it as well !!!

[Noekh]

I used to listen to this song in college. Got a lot of compliments...cos I'm Irish, and have fuckin' good taste. Carbombs were on me back then. Ah, the glory days. No one could chase me.

[Charly8904]

This is the best sound i`have ever seen irish folk rocks

Thank You for this music

GERMANY

[Daithiwolf]

No worries Germany, ye make great beer.

[emails2kyle]

@Daithiwolf Germany might make better beer, but not better Whiskey and Whiskey is where its at.

[Pastelgizmo]

@emails2kyle actually they're known for their wine.

[emails2kyle]

@Pastelgizmo what are you talking about?

u think of irish you think of whiskey and beer. and guess what i lived in ireland.. they drinkin alot of beer and a fair amount of whiskey

[AshtarKommando]

@Daithiwolf

hahahahahahaha, you never did ONE REAL Beer :D

No Foam, no Taste - no beer :D

[Daithiwolf]

@AshtarKommando I think you're talking about American beer there mate.

[GrigoriZhukov]

@Daithiwolf LIkely the stuff from big breweries. I know of a small brewery that does a up a fine one that is so dark it sucks in like like the galactic black hole and a head that'll hold a quarter...until the pitcher is done. 8^) I've IPA's available that are so hopped you'll swear the rat bastards stuffed two whole hop plants per pint and didn't trim the roots or wash the dirt away...oh and FYI Moose Drool makes new castle brown ale looke and taste like water.

[rerememe2002]

@Daithiwolf Any beer's good beer...especially after you've had a few Irish stouts to prepare the palate. :)

[bisquit56]

@Daithiwolf that the Irish we drink it

[Gardoggle]

great stuff

[arthure33]

I love this song

[Daithiwolf]

its cider kept in whiskey barrels, once you do that it goes from 5% to 15-20%. It still tastes like cider though. Hence himself not noticing why hes gettin wasted off a few pints of it.

[SPAgirlLauren]

that's bloody cool

[daemonsparta]

oh yeah..the traditional cider of old ireland...yeah... bloody potent.

[hollowbodyguitar]

The same applies for Bosnian moonshine "slipovich"

[prick1000]

it cider lad was so strong years ago use to drive lads mad like whiskey nd vodka...Harp was the same in the 80s

[gnrhutch]

My cuz turned me on to this. Cheers to those getting smashed!

[ItalianMick2025]

What exactly is a Johnny Jump Up? I have done some research and some people say its just cider, others say its whiskey and cider, and others (which I don't believe them because of this song) say something about it having beer in it. A Johnny Jump Up sounds good though.

[nordlord]

its a hard cider drink.

[ItalianMick2025]

so its just hard cider? No shot of whiskey? I'm just tryin to sort this out because I want one.

[nordlord]

not so sure i think maybe it has whiskey feel to it and one hell of a kick.

[ItalianMick2025]

alright...Thanks

[jmurockstar]

True "johnny jump up" is a 10+% abv hard cider. you can get something similar by adding a shot of irish whiskey to a pint of regular 5-6% hard cider... i'm enjoying one right now made with Powers whiskey and hornsby's cider

[ItalianMick2025]

cool.... thanks

[cpateros]

The story I heard from the band is that during the war, due to the lack of metal, cider had to be fermented in old whiskey barrels.

[ZanderMckael]

@cpateros i heard that same theory

[nordlord]

omg ive been looking for this song i love it

[LordFiendLoon]

The tune's taken straight from the louse house of Kilkenny by the Dubliners

[sarge301]

irish people rock

[RamenNoodles22]

thank u! only people from Cork though!!!

[Saeli88]

i love this song, btw sitting here with my 7th jhonny jump up....

[JoshMenendez]
