Pegasus - The Travelling People - Liam Clancy

[coatbridgebhoy1798]

My father died 30 years ago this year and he was a massive Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem fan. I took solace for years listening to Liam Clancy in a form of compensation for his loss. When Liam died, the feeling of loss was akin to losing my father over again.

I miss you both but thanks for the memories.

Ewan MacColl who wrote this song

Would I think stand and listen long

To the troubadour of us all

Who made the small stand so tall

[welldonevid]

God, I miss him.

@welldonevid The night I found out... I had been drinking a bit before... and the rest of the night I cried and drank and watched his videos on here. And I am not ashamed to say that I felt pain. If anything, looking back... it's a tribute to him that a man I never spoke to had a career and life I felt that strongly about.

I love this one!

[josparkes1]

Brilliant philosophy and truth,

Loved it !

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

My sentiments exactly.WONDERFUL

[maggie300]

The words are hair-raising, the delivery magnificent, this is what the Irish are unrivelled at, think it bubbles up out of Celtic blood ! Brilliant!

(but wasn;t fussed about the singing & music at end - became bland).

[josparkes1]

@maggie300 I thought so too, extremely clever !

[tipp1959]

bland is only a word that would be used by someone who is standing outside the front door and thinks it a good idea to peek inside but feels it better to stay outside.

[tubephobia]

Seems so easy to turn feelings

into just a little more better.

Thanks for giving me the pleasure

of the moments sharing this clip.
