- Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O’Connor on songwriting, touring and mortality.
Shane MacGowan wrote the song ‘Haunted’ for the soundtrack to the 1986 film ‘Sid and Nancy’. The film focuses on the relationship between Sid Vicious, bassist with punk band the Sex Pistols and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen.
Originally performed by The Pogues, Sinéad O’Connor and Shane MacGowan recorded their version of the song in 1992 and it was released as a single in 1995.
Shane knew both Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen and while ‘Haunted’ is emotional and sad,
It’s happy in a way cos they’re reunited somewhere else.
Both singers have fears about their own mortality. Sinéad O’Connor finds herself worrying over,
What are we all doing here, how does the earth hang in space and what’s going to happen to me when I die, is it going to be slow and painful.
She does not think that Shane McGowan’s choice of lifestyle makes his life more difficult than it needs to be as everyone makes their own rules.
What’s difficult for you might not be difficult for Shane.
As song writers both have different approaches. Shane McGowan takes inspiration from anything, be it a memory of something that happened, or something he was told,
I like a few drinks and like I’ve had a good few ideas for songs in pubs.
Sinéad O’Connor often writes songs on plane journeys. Her songs are personal and songwriting is how she talks to herself and tries to find herself.
Shane still enjoys performing and is about to go on an American tour.
Its the most exciting thing you can do, play a good gig.
Sinéad is also about to tour, but it is less easy for her to do.
I’m a mother also so I’ve got to put a bit of time in there too.
This episode of ‘Kenny Live’ was broadcast on 22 April 1995. The presenter is Pat Kenny. - Розваги
Sinead looks absolutely beautiful here
Agree 👍 beautiful
I totally agree she looks stunning ❤
She does she’s beautiful
@@FlaminggMoe my thoughts exactly 🙈😂
So does our Shane 😊
Two of the greatest Irish voices. So sad we have lost them in the same year.
That's right, eh? Sinéad O'Connor died THIS year?! 2023, eh? Wow...yeah - you're right. Awfully sad. Thank goodness that we have these videos to remember these 2 legends (Shane and The Pogues were easily my favourite band ever when I was about 16 or 17 years old). Their first three albums are all 10/10's for me. Peace & Love had some nice songs and so did Hell's Ditch, but they didn't measure up to the band's first 3 perfect albums.
Well told off by my sons. Irish Ambassador Rome advised me best in Eire for renewal passport so 'going home' to reinstate my passport. Irish forces are obliged under the Poblacht to only take up arms for Eire. We've wonderful soldiers in Cyprus and all ... PEACEKEEPING. Studying my Gaelic (not easy) and I have a Cork accent! Nought wrong with Cork apparently just accents ... should blend in well. LOVE AT THE BORDER WHEN THE GUARDA ET AL SAY 'WELCOME HOME, DEIRDRE'. ITALY CAN DO WITHOUT ME FOR A BIT ....
God responded kindly and granted Cillian Murphy the Oscar. It's an Irish even steven!
RIP Shane MacGowan (December 25, 1957 - November 30, 2023), aged 65

Two Irish legends
🎉😂❤
💯
My love of Ireland and my Irish heritage is thrown into question by the fact of these two degenerates representing the latest legends of the nation.
love how this old format of chat shows allowed the time for intimate questions like this, no rush, Just seeing where the conversation goes.
And it’s natural, unrehearsed. They’re not doing bits (between commercial breaks) for laughs. American talk shows are the worst.
Sinead was stunningly beautiful. God bless the two of them now
🇮🇪 REST IN PEACE LEGEND. THE WORLD WILL GRIEVE YOU FOR THE REST OF TIME. FLY HIGH KING 🕊️
Shane was probably on his best behavior for Sinead
They were good friends and Sinead was very worried about his drinking and told him so. But what would have ever changed him?
Blimey, I'd forgotten how beautiful she was.......Audrey Hepburn-esque!
May they both rest in peace 🇨🇮
They weren’t from the Ivory Coast.
@@murpho999 what's your problem
Rest in peace 2 irish and world wide legends God bless you and thank you both and God bless us 🙏 🙏❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🌍🌍
Wow, if one hadn't fallen in love with her at first sight, one would've fallen in love with her as soon as she open her mouth, wouldn't one... What an absolute beauty, inside and out.
THIS INTERVIEW IS A CLASSIC,,,,THERE EXPRESSIONS AT CERTAIN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IS FCUKIN ABSOLUTE CRACKIN CLASSIC,,,,,,❤RIP LEGENDS👍👍
RIP 🕯️🕯️
This is so poignant. Shane and Sinead pondering mortality 😢
Legends both 💚🌹🎶💚
God Bless my beautiful lovelies 💕
Sinéad very intelligent answer. RIP ❤
Rip Shane
❤❤R.I.P.🙏🙏
Foi uma linda mulher, mãe, cantora, musicista e compositora . Protestava pela verdade e certa em tudo que fez e falou sobre abusos infantil. Está fazendo falta para nós. Não será esquecida através das tuas músicas que ficou pra marcar. Adeus Sinéad O'Connor para sempre. ❤
Sinead looked like Enya during this period.
Man.. I remember hanging out with Shane at this time when Vicky was shacked up with the Fat Monk in San Francisco. This was a horrible time and not fun or the usual bright light that was having many sleepless nights hanging with Shane. The man literally cried for a year and had no creative drive whatsoever. He just talks about her here and starts to cry. He was soo kind and warm hearted. Seeing him being punished was hard to see.
Nick Cave 'gets' Shane. Tom Waits 'gets' Shane. Johnny Depp 'gets' Shane. Pat Kenny does not 'get' Shane. There's no poetry in Mr. logical Engineer Pat Kenny's bonce, so he does not get Shane.
"Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is. Do you, Mr. Kenny?"
That expression by Shane at 1:51.
Sinéad bellissima e bellissima per sempre
PK couldn't handle this, his sarcastic comment at the end is difficult. Both dead, both super individualistic and genesis in their own right. I hope PK learned from this interview, I'm sure he did as he's super intelligent
I can’t see why they are unlikely combination. Shane was right to call him out.
this sums up Irish denial
I’m not familiar with this host and I admit, I assumed he’d be another dull chat show host. But not at all. He asked very poignant questions and what’s more, gave them time to answer.
Sinead (beautiful) and Shane, for all their talent, were humble and gracious. May they Rest In Peace.
Pat the plank 😂
Pat: "Do you worry about death?"
Sinead: "Living is harder"
Truth.
The state of the studio haha
Yeah man, looks like something from 1995.
@donmacr7535 some things age well.
This interview could have been even better if not for Pat the plank Kenny
I always cringe when I see Sinéad from 1995. She looks like she might be the twin sister of my girlfriend at the time and later the mother of our daughter. She was a beautiful woman. We separated in 2001 but remained friends. Unfortunately, a few years later she started drinking alcohol and became a sad person. I tried to help her but it was useless. I then had to bring my daughter home with me because she was suffering from her mother's condition. She was then with me for 5 years until she started her own life in 2021. She inherited her mother's beauty. From me she probably has the strength to defy life when things get difficult. Rest in peace Shane and Sinéad!
Can't stand pat Kenny..the disruption he did qn interview with shane McGowan drinking and humiliated him .yes, pat Kenny rte we irish don't forget nor forgive ..our true irish souls whom sang in the native tongue. As many don't..sinead o connor is was and still is the most beautiful soul RIP to our own
