Whoever or whatever, as the old saying goes less said the better, keep it zipped, silence is golden, Don't speak out of turn .. The way the world is now taking a step back isn't a bad idea, people are losing it so easily, minds all over the place .. is there a hole somewhere 🙊 🙉 🙈
As I write this, the Irish parliament is about to try abolishing the freedom of speech in Ireland. Sinn Fein turned out to be totalitarians when they got the chance.
They were probabaly instructed to be quiet....they were recording this for a live album. I've been involved in one of those....they are a lot more controlled and manipulated than you might think.
This particular song is. Specifically, it references The policy of Internment without trial ('They'll take you off to you know where {HMP Long Kesh} for you dont know how long')
I'd like to dedicate this to my man Luigi, who was hanging out with me all day on Dec 4th in my kitchen helping me make macarons.
Brilliant song, i need this right now
This is literally the anthem for the past two years
I know exactly what he's talking about......I LOVE Tommy Makem.
Whatever you say, say nothing.
No you don't
@@balihai4326yes he does 🤫
heard the Sands family sing this. love it.
love you guys seen u in 1985 wen i was 13 love ur music since then
This is smart. A gem.
They are talking about internment and political censorship in Ireland during the 1970's
Right
But there's so many other situations it could apply to these days.
Hoy! Whatever you say, say nothing, when you talk about you know what!
You didn't learn anything from this song 🤦
@@annedonovan9005 Not only these days. 80 years ago too.
Love it. I think the song is from a poem about the IRA's secrecy requirements.
Who told you that?
You know who loves this song?, you know the one who we can't speak of - but don't mention this or you'll get you know what!
brillant
always a smile off tommy
This song was written by Colum Sands, although he's not mentioned in this post.
we need some musicians like Makem and Clancy, most of the singers nowadays are just crap
At least we have The High Kings

Reminds me of the Barrand/Roberts song, A Present from the Gentlemen.
Where did you get this video, can it be bought on VHS or something? Thanks
Is this crowd DEAD? I can't sit still when I'm listening to this song!
It was Ireland in 1983. What would you expect.
Open support for the IRA in the 80s was a no no.
They actually got fined for preforming this song.
No they are not dead, nor do they want to be.
The NSA is listening :)
Theme song of the NSA "Guarded" USA
"Three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead"
i agree with two of them
Also, during the last verse, you don't hear the mandolin, like on the album.
it's the illuminati
Which album? I can't find this song accept for this live recording.
Live at the National Concert Hall, same title as the special.
This song applies to today! I've had some of my posts, concerning the so-called "C**id" "v***ine" & the 2020 "E****ion" "disappear."
look at Muriel O'Connor one it sounds hot!
Does makem play Clawhammer style?
And now, the weather.
It's the you know whos.
I think colm sands wrote this song but I'm open to correction
This should be the official anthem of the EU!
are these men irish?
As Irish as the come , Liam was from County Tipperary, Ireland Tommy was proudly from County Armagh, Northern Ireland. their music lives on !
Don’t know. 😉
loose lips sink ships...dead men tell no tales....my science teacher always told us this to keep us quiet haha
Perfect anthem for how mainstream and social media and the government treats anything related to COVID.
Written by Colm Sands
Loose talk costs lives.
@brittanynoel02 Exactly what I was thinking, actually XD/
As I write this, the Irish parliament is about to try abolishing the freedom of speech in Ireland. Sinn Fein turned out to be totalitarians when they got the chance.
That has got to be the deadest audience I have ever seen in my life. Sitting there like cardboard cutouts they was.
it's the Illuminati
They were probabaly instructed to be quiet....they were recording this for a live album. I've been involved in one of those....they are a lot more controlled and manipulated than you might think.
This is good *without* being played at chipmunk speed.
There has to be a Russian version of this.
Are you kidding this is basically the American national anthem.
@robertjones2811 you can publicly and loudly complain in America, the same cannot be said of contemporary Russia or British controlled Ireland
They are singing of VOLDEMORD
not their best performance of this song but I guess it works.;)
it's the Illuminati😨
This song aged well. We're all IRA now.
All I can say is the founding fathers knew what they were doing when they ratified the second amendment.
this is literally the plot to harry potter
its the Illuminati
Well ya know voldemort is Margaret Thatcher in disguise
@@genmonroefreeeire102 That's about the stupidest thing I've seen today.
The motto for talking to the PC Police
So True !
@brittanynoel02
Snort....your too funny.
This shoulda been the theme song of Harry Potter....
Im not a nerd, Im a geek... theres a difference.
it's the Illuminati
Probably IRA. that's what their talking about
it's the Illuminati
Emilee Madiso
Probably moon shining
Reminds me of the Harry Potter series everytime i hear this song... #uber-geek
cool song..worst crowd I have ever seen
it's Illuminati
Emilee, "Whatever you say, say nothin' " is a colloquial idiom. So it's NOT and never was about the ira.
This particular song is. Specifically, it references The policy of Internment without trial ('They'll take you off to you know where {HMP Long Kesh} for you dont know how long')
Of course it isn't...
John McVey lol if you talk about you know what it's not the police you've to worry about as much as you know who ..,,
Colin Ross it is about the ra, that's where the saying comes from whatever u tell the police, tell them nothing lol
They my as well be singing about the coming enslavement and civil war we are about to suffer through.
Obama and Harris for Guantánamo 2024 🎉
