  • It's the "tiochfaidh ar la" types who "carve tomorrow on a tombstone". I think you are missing the irony in the lyrics.

  • comin from northern ireland this song just " says it all" i love her and seen her live..even better!!!

  • Well done Paul Brady for writing this great song, it rang true many years ago and now also.....lovely voice this girl

  • Beautiful.Thankyou so much x

  • @ptidunne And it is a beautiful song, however the tone used in "the tiochfaidh ar la types" is a denegration. I truly dont want to be argumentative or pig headed, i just have the utmost of respect for the Irish men who rose up against british rule in ireland and those where their words. To use them as term of negativity is personally insulting. I understand that you may not care but i felt i needed to explain this incase you are a person who cares about such things. I hope i cause no insult.

  • @kargwain187 I didn't denigrate anybody. This is an anti war song. If you listen to the words it is a lament for those who blindly follow a dream at the cost of their own lives.

  • @ptidunne If it wasnt for the people you speak of , you would be a slave just as your ancestors where. Its easy to speak for peace when you live in it. A peace hard fought by those who where willing to do so. People who gave themselves courage in the face of certain death by lamenting those words you denegrate. I dont mean to be argumentative, i just found your comment to be highly disrespectful and i do apologise if any offense was caused

  • I've been listening to this song for about 15 years, and still cannot do it without tearing up. Beautiful. Agree  with the Irishboy67, it does not get any better than this.

  • this song is fab i love it, shes a good singer too

  • @tubeseeker27 : hey, you all, yes, her voice is beautiful, but mind Brady´s lyrics. Very bitter song!

  • What a wonderful, timeless song. Someone should re-release it!
