  • I don't see this as an injustice. No he is not from Springhill, nor Nova Scotia for that matter. Why can an artist not depict his own rendition of a piece of art if he feels attached to it?

  • A beautiful tribute to those who have died down any mine and also to the great Luke Kelly, whose version of this is also phenomenal. Thanks for posting

  • @MCDP09 I'm a Springhiller as well. Me Gramp survived The Bump, my great grandfather and another family member did not. Your Grandfather was a brave man, thank you

  • I am from Springhill and I have known this song almost all my life. The REAL version by Peggy Seger and Ewan McColl. Not this butchered version. Thanks for the thought Bono but you cut the song to shreds. Over half the lyrics are missing and you got the year of the Bump wrong. It was '58, not '88. This rendition of the song is an insult to me as a Springhiller. It does not do the original song nor my home justice.

    PS. Thanks for the visit when you were 45 min away. Shoulda known

  • @Thebeeflies 17th time actually.

  • I love to here U2 doing a song that accauly sounds like where there from. Bono sounds good singing Irish music.

  • very beauty. thanks for the video, thanks u2 :-))

  • Bone and blood is the price of coal.

  • @Terrakinetic I think the foul mouthed bugger is full of shit....

  • @russfromdodge No. For insulting family and profaning the dead. But mostly for profaning the dead. I don't really give a crap about the douches, imbeciles and U2.

  • @Terrakinetic Why,for seeing U2 for what they really are or responding to the imbecile that called me a douche??

  • @russfromdodge Wow. You deserve to be shot.
