Christy Moore-The Reel in the Flickering Light

[molloysirishpub]

come on the lilly whites



[TheApollopotter]

one of those songs that lifts....simple as that

[Kevin107ish]

Why do Christy Moore songs get comments from retards on youtube? Stop acting as if you know it all, boys, you know fuck all. Christy is a genius, and if you don't agree - I don't care! It's only my opinion versus yours, and we're mere human beings. I'm no better than you (well, most of you - him with the hat in the corner is an exception to every rule).

[ruairimccaul]

There's a few in heat around the front here...

[manormaid]

What a delightful song

[youngmick2]

Great Album,Christy!

[42JohnnySmith]

I think is is just a really nice song. It's quite sweet. :) It's kinda childish, and I think that that's just how it works. I love it with passion. <3

[colleen59701]

I remember Christie performing this song on the Late Late when Gaybo still hosted. I am quite sure he said he wrote it for his children. And Christie have up the drink years ago-

[XfilesIzzy]

a debate that has engulfed us all night. what are the instruments used in this song?

[D4zza]

Great memory's of being langers when I was 15, we played this tune about 10 times in row.

[1724194]

u just need t listen and let the beuty take u there its amazin ,enjoy it 4 what it ts

[TheAltaltalt1]

the ultimate psychedelic ballad.

[djdaraghBCN]

This is my favorite Christy Moore song. It so poetic, melodic and funny.

[MrFarto19]

doesnt it just make you want to dance?! XD

[josparkes1]

My word this song is so magical I just love it to bits, that voice is awesome !

[MrFarto19]

I could jam out on this with a broken leg!

[daggersdukc]

Jarrahnut, I am pretty sure that the harp sound comes from a Yamaha DX7 preset or ROM cartridge. The DX was a popular 80s synth famous for being able to make bell-like and percussive sounds (the lovely bells in Feed the World for example).

I was totally bowled over by this song, and that harp sound when I first heard it, and 15 years on both can still make me shiver - in a good way. Always a pleasure to hear again.

[josparkes1]

@daggersdukc It's brilliant isn't it, and his voice is so low and soothing, hypnotic !

[Jarrahnut]

Great track! Love that harp ... well ... I think it's a harp ...

[19999Ben]

Christy Moore .. what can i say... i listen to this with my family when we go over the mountains because theres no signal...its the best radio station you would ever find..Legend!!!

[josparkes1]

I love this, it's magical !

Brilliant, if he can write songs like this when he's been drinking, well .......

[FrankLeach]

Beautiful!

[draft6666]

God, he brings me home on the wings of his music tonight....and I couldn't care less if he wrote it himself, I know who I am listening to at this moment (((Voll wie eimer, leckere Rotwein Christy, du verstehst, oder?)

[josparkes1]

Very nice and pretty sound, like it !

[star1969xxx]

[niallon]

Christy didn't write this, though live he sometimes tells the story seen in the description box. It was written by Colm Gallagher.

[darrin42]

Right you are, I since found out that,

[stevieb6966]

@darrin42 would you like a plate for your humble pie?

My favourite Christy Moore song

[captainnemo87]

what a cool song ;)

[karambelas1]

I know this may "take some believin", but the lyrics are not Christy's. I recall him saying this on a live recording some time back. It's Colm Gallagher

try googling: "Colm Gallagher + Christy Moore"

or "Colm Gallagher + Christy Moore + California"

thanks for posting this recording.

I wish someone would post the 2004 DVD recording of Good Ship Kangaroo

[maggielox]

[sticks256]

ow my god i havn't heard this for years i love this song thank you so much for uploading this brings back so many memorys

[patnab]

this song was written by colm gallagher, the man I went to california with over 40 years ago.

[druidsglen]

you're an idiot. christy moore didnt write this song. get your facts right asswipe or drink a pint of christy's sweat

[darrin42]

HE DID WRITE IT, YOU FUCKING FOOL! Get your own facts straight Son

[patnab]

sorry darin42, it was written by colm gallagher who now lives in l.a. he has also written other great music and has five albums to his credit

[JackGander]

Colm Gallagher indeed did write it, and Christy wouldn't for a second have you believe otherwise. You should also hear Colm's song "St. Patrick's Dance in San Fernando". Christy's version is on the Yellow disc of the box set. Good times.

[DerPietsch]

love that song. i was to ireland listening to that song all night and day. still reminds me on that trip to ireland :)

[donal7]

thanks, cool

[nessieomalley]
