Kilkelly, Ireland 2011

History repeating itself, 22 years old with no prospects, saving for a one way ticket out of Ireland

[cloongarve]

Good luck to you :)

Irish music always feels so ... real, straight from the heart and full of emotions ... always gives me goosebumps

Thank you friend for sharing ; )

This makes me HATE the stupid son, why didn't he visit??? It's so sad how the father asked for him as he died. :'(

I love this song! Thank you for uploading it! I would love to visit Ireland someday! That would be one of the highlights of my life. I have ancestors on both sides of my family family from Ireland.

@CollegeHumorRocks I think it's because the son had to move to America to find a job. Back then, people made alot less money than we do now, so it took a long time to be able to get up money to go back home, even if the son does send the father money. plus the son gets married and has children. Raising four children costs money. Unfortunately, life just got ahead of him, and he just wasn't able to get back home before his father died.

@mickyfla101 Fuck Off! at least your not hungry, you are warm and you have clean clothes on your back. Please have a little respect for the people who died in and survived the famine and do not compare it to a shitty little recession.

When Da died at home, I could not afford the trip.

[cloongarve]

Ah thank you......yes Kilkelly is tiny isn't it, it was a beautiful spring day when I was there, tiny but magical in it's own way :)

@cloongarve Yes very true words i was just making the point that Kilkelly is a very small village in mayo that is far removed from some of those photos! The video is very well done all the same!
