come home paddy reilly 2 bally james duff cum home paddy reilly 2 me lol thats my husbands name keep up the gd work and the great songs??? keep them goin louder n louder rip them out lads
My neighbors do nothing but talk about how beautiful and wonderful and fantastic Italy is and I always say well why don't you go back then? Not to be snotty but just like why pine over it, go back. And they say they can't get jobs so they have to be here in the USA. That's gotta be a hard situation to be in. To leave a place that's SO GREAT according to them and come to a place that's so miserable according to them, to survive. Paddy Reilly is the best tenor ever
Being half Irish and half Italian I've heard all of that before too. Both sets of grandparents as well as my father are immigrants to the U.S.A. and it's true there was no work in Ireland or Italy when they left
Spancil Hill is written about a man who left Ireland but was not allowed to take the woman he wanted to marry with him because her father would not allow it. The song is about his longing to be home in Ireland with his people and his girl. Kind of like those Italians.
Well its the same for irish people, theres plenty of irish people that do the same but so what?
You see there are Irish people that went to america in their late teens , and builded their lifes over in the usa because they had no option but to leave Ireland and now they cant even come back due to immigration laws or money or family committments etc., There are many beautiful and wonderplaces that its hard to survive in, just because usa has jobs doesnt mean its a better place. Good day
@parade0000@parade0000 Well the way I see it is, if you leave a beautiful place which I'm sure Ireland is (It's my personal dream to one day visit Ireland) to come to America for Whatever reason (seems mostly jobs) the least a person can do is NOT insult it. That's all I'm saying.
@Loveandbullets1 Who said anything about insulting america? your neighbours is it? If not then it sounds like its you thats jealous of people talking about beautiful places far away ;).
@parade0000 No you had it right the first time. My neighbors insult this country all the time. Complain, complain. America isn't as beautiful as Italy, Italy is SO beautiful. America has only 6 months of unemployment insurance, it's terrible here! Meanwhile in Italy they'd starve. And just as an FYI there are stunningly beautiful places right here in America. I get tired of people making a lovely living in this country but trashing it with every breath.
@parade0000 And just because the USA HAS jobs doesn't make it NOT a better place. If I were ever to move to Italy or Ireland I would respect it 1000%. I'd never utter a bad word about it because I chose to move there and would never be so disrespectful of another country. Unfortunately the USA doesn't get the same respect from some people that come here. Not all, but some. and why? for being the country that allows them to live and prosper? It's kind of crazy when you think about it.
@paddythetinker Yup, indignation. That's all I'm saying. And Righteous indignation to boot! Like the USA somehow owes people a fantastic experience. Life is hard everywhere. Why people think it's going to be so pleasant in the USA is beyond me. We still have to work and commute and struggle with bills. Life is not easy ANYWHERE *unless you're rich I guess*

I love this song,but I don't know about what is this song.I'm from Bosnia and don't know Ireland history.Please,anyone who can gave me more info for this song and song Ride on.Thanks
The "flight of the wild geese" as the mass emigration from Ireland was known, generated a lot of songs about going back. This is a dream song, a song about a "flying visit" back to Spancil Hill, from the point of view of one of the wild geese who landed in California. He'll never see the girl again, or the brave and the bold, or Spancil Hill.
No problem. Well for years, the economy in Ireland was awful, we only ever had two periods of economic growth (during the 1960s and late 1990s to 2000s) and everything in between was sheer poverty and unemployment. So for years Irish people emigrated and moved usually to the UK or US. This song discusses an Irish man who has emigrated from Ireland, and he has a dream in which he went back to Ireland and how he would see his friends and the only girl he loved.
@neckozeusa wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Spancil_Hill. That's pretty interesting, I didn't know the song had such a story behind it before you got me intrigued. From my knoledge of Bosnia, our history of oppression isn't far from your own.
@neckozeusa spanci hill is in Clare, it was made famous by a clare man named Robbie McMahon, still alive, in his eigthies. Go to the willie clancy in milltown malby in clare in ireland and you'll see him singing there
@neckozeusa This poem was wrote by michael considine who emigrated to america when he was roughly 20 where he worked in Boston. when he was 23 he suffered from poor health and his fram was to one day bring his sweetheart over to marry but knowing he hadnt long to live he wrote this poem to which he sent to his deceased brothers son who was 6 at that time.
In the 1930s there was a traditional music session in a house and the women of the house handed the text of "Spancil Hill"
The song Spancil Hill is about an irishman who goes seeking his fortune in the California goldrush, and who in his dreams remembers his life in Ireland. Ride On is a song by another Irish balladeer called Christy Moore. Ride On is a song that can invoke different veiws in different people, lost love, the passing of a loved one, it is a song that is haunting in melody and lyrics.
@CEEWorldwide In the last verse he hears the cock crowing and wakes up and remembers he's an old man in California, not a young man in Ireland. Very sad. Ride On. I'm not sure anyone knows what it's about, but a good song. It was written by JIMMY McCARTHY, (give the man some credit), so maybe he could enlighten you.
I spent many a night listening to Paddy at the Century club in Falmouth , Mass. He is the master of the Irish ballad. His many songs express themes from the plight of migrant workers to unrequited love. All beautifully done. I hope someone has made him as happy as he has made we who listen
Yeah I agree... I loved Ronnie. The man was a legend and brought me many smiles but I think Paddy was a better singer.. As for Luke? My channel says it all. The one and only..
Absolutely class. Paddy doesen't get the credit he deserves. He has a wonderful ballad voice. He may not have the originality or power that Luke and Ronnie had but he can carry a note!!
Love this song p reilly legend
