Not a sailor. Not Irish. Have no tattoos. Just a broken & lost 35 y.o. man. But just every word in this song resonates deep inside of me. It took like 50+ times to learn to listen to this without shedding a tear or two. Absolutely favourite song of all time. When I’m down, I remember how many views this video has. For me it means, that I’m way not alone like this. It helps. Thanks, Dropkick Murphys, for this feeling. Thanks for your great music.
It is 2024, and this song was the first thing to pop into my head after going through some shit... I hope others find the strength to carry on from this song like I have ✊️💪
Life will always bud, be a rocky road.. If you decide to play brilliant irish music you will climb the world my friend and fxxx everyone in it,,,, stay safe and sound mate ❤❤👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
2 years ago on this day I lost my little brother to suicide. My brother and I tried to stop him right up to the very end... I sit here weeping, typing this out listening to this song on loop thinking about him. We both tattooed his name on us and wear him on our arms til our dying day. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. Thank you Dropkick Murphy for making this amazing and wonderful song. We saw you in KC with Flogging Molly as you preformed this song... it means so much to us, please.. never stop playing this song.
My prayers are with you, your brother and the one that passed, and your family. Keep going strong! It sucks, I lost my aunt 2 years ago, I know what it feels like. Yet again, keep going, you can do it!
As the son of a man who raised me and my brother alone and sacrificed for us at every turn. The line 'This one's for the man that raised me _taught_ me sacrifice and bravery' hits like a hammer. I love this song.
@@mamaluigi74 That can certainly require sacrifice and bravery. Thank them for me please, first responders need more recognition and what they do is important.
My 16-year-old son and I listen to this song every time we drive anywhere together. Being his father has given me purpose and my life meaning. I've decided to get HIS name in a rose tattoo, but with one difference that I think fitting for the themes of the song and our relationship: it'll be a compass rose, not a flower.
I'm leaving this comment here because I want my dad in Heaven to know I think about him, even though I walked out on him years ago, after he spent decades to find me just to be a part of my life, and he died before I could reconnect. Every time I think of him he'll be reminded of all the things he knows now that I never got to tell his earthly self. So this will do that.
This song will always be a reminder of 2018. I was in a biker bar in Arizona, and a woman was singing this song. The whole bar sang along, and it was great. There was beer and liquor flying all over the place. Best year of my life I'd say.
My wife Sue passed away in 2016.she will always be remembered in the rose tattoo I have on my arm inspired by this amazing song....thanks Dropkicks... I love you XXX
My condolences on your loss 😢 I have my wife's name translated into Quenya & written by her own hand in Tengwar script tattooed on my left forearm. COVID nearly took her in 2021 & she'll be on permanent disability the rest of her life. Our 25th Anniversary is in September.
I got the wifes name on a rose tattoo a year before she passed away, I only wish I had found this song before she passed so I could sing it to her, to let her know how special she was, now every time I hear it she's all I can think about, she's gone 3 yrs now, I miss more everyday.
Heartbroke to read this. All my thoughts go with you mate. Take care, and dont forget to enjoy life, even if it's hard, people gone too soon would want us to live life to the fullest. Even if it's not for us, as a tribute to them.
My seven year old daughter was given the chance to pick a song she liked in class. Guess what she picked.... teacher not so happy. My heart filled with pride. THAT'S MY GIRL!!
@@borntoclimb7116 yea she usually likes daddy's music. Sometimes i get the request to put on the record with the skulls on it. That would be Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction :-P
Our Dad was from Dublin, our Mom was a Limerick Lady, both sadly no longer with us. They met and married here in England where myself and siblings were born but we're so proud of our Irish roots and huge extended family. Happy St Patrick's Day to all the Irish people wherever you are in the world! 🍀🇮🇪☘️ Looking forward to seeing you guys performing here in England again ASAP! 😊
Just realized I’m having a child, I’m an American whose family on both sides came from our home, I can’t explain it but you are my people, I will fight for you and for my child, go on home British soldiers
I sent my grandpa this song in 2013, he was about 85 then. He said it reminded him of going to O'Leary's in St. Paul Minn way back in the day. I hope he rests in peace, I still listen to this song a lot.
I listen to this and think of my buddy who passed when he was 21. The best friend a guy could have and I’m writing his tales while this plays. Long live the fallen. 🤘🏾🖤🤘🏾
i spread my tears away everytime i hear this song and read your messages...you are wonderful people,these messages are wonderful...lost and never found again,but music,that explain...
Happy st Patrick’s days to all my lovely Irish clan, I love paddys day but it was a special day for me to spend with family always been proud of my roots and love to go back one but it’s been hard since they have all now sadly gone😢after all the happy songs the Jameson bring me here makes me remember our like kern warrior roots like blank and tans💚💪🏻🇮🇪
The one place on my bucket list that I must visit. I've been quite landlocked in the US as I grew up without a lot, but my family's been here for a few hundred years and I do recall a coat of arms hanging up in the hallway of my grandmother's house.
I am American of Part Irish extraction and have been to the old Isle but these folks do the Irish culture well.Great song of pride ,life and respecting the things that made you ,who you are.Well done.
it might be just a coincidence, but today while getting a rose tattoo on my shoulder to honour my dad and my grandad, this song was playing over the radio. the artist told me, hey - listen to this, this song is for you. what a great timing. hats off to all of you who made it through all the life's hardship thinking about and honouring your loved ones. may you all be happy and free, always!
The love of my life was named Rose, I was never so close to anybody or as happy as I was with her. She died tragically at 31 years old and turn my life upside down. This song and album came out a month after she was taken from me.Needless to say, It's hard to get through the song with dry eye.
I'm getting a rose tattoo today because I just recently turned 18 and my dad raised me on Dropkick Murphys. We really bonded over music, and this was one of our favorite songs
I SWEAR!! This is the most friendly youtube posting party I've ever seen! Nice to know the quality of people that enjoy the music I love are high quality.
Leaving boston after 33 years . Emotional leave , leaving the home i started my young family in . North Dorchester . The city is no longer the same . Thought it would be easy, as my home is empty and for sale sign up locking the door as i leave for 1500 miles of travel i played this song to hear comforting words . Boston strong !! Theres no place in this world comparable to boston and the memories ive shared here . The only thing i wont miss was our trash weather . My rose tattoo i got when i was 17 speaks for itself. Love you mom , rest in peace big brother .
Fun fact: The poker hand in the first part of the video is called the “Dead Man’s Hand” and it consists of the two black Aces and 8’s, as well as one red card, commonly believed to be an Ace of Hearts (Some stories a Joker). It’s called the dead man’s hand because Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed while playing a game of poker, and this was the hand he held.
Have heard of the band but for some reason never checked them out. About 3 months ago a friend of mine from high school,who I hadn't seen in a looong time got a hold of me and we met for lunch and he told me about the band and this song. When I got home I went to my computer and checked it out. What an awesome song. Then I listened to a lot of their music and loved it all.A really really good band. Mad at myself for not checking them out when I first heard of them. But I am glad I know of them now.
1:401:49 this song always makes me think of my stepdad and him marrying my mom. He truly is one of the best things to happens to my family. Isnt it amazing that someone who wandered into your life can do soo much better than the one who conceived you . Respect to the stepdads who made a difference for the better
Lyrics: The pictures tell the story This life had many shades I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette That smoldered in its tray Down a little something and then be on my way I traveled far and wide And laid this head in many ports I was guided by a compass I saw beauty to the north I drew the tales of many lives And wore the faces of my own I had these memories all around me So I wouldn't be alone Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo This ones for the mighty sea Mischief, gold and piracy This ones for the man that raised me Taught me sacrifice and bravery This ones for our favorite game Black and gold, we wave the flag This ones for my family name With pride I wear it to the grave Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo This one means the most to me It stays here for eternity A ship that always stays the course An anchor for my every choice A rose that shines down from above I signed and sealed these words in blood I heard them once, sung in a song It played again and we sang along You'll always be here with me Even if you're gone You'll always have my love Our memory will live on Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo With pride I'll wear it to the grave for you In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you
I'm an Irishman from, Medford, Massachusetts. R.I.P to my grandmother Ellen (Mulcahy) Kelley My Uncle, Freddy Neary My Grandfather Frederick Neary My Aunt Patty Neary My Grandmother Bernadette (Coffin) Neary My Grandfather Francis Kelley My good friend Dan Fitzgerald My good friend Kirk Morrison MY good friend Joe Cahill The list goes on far more than that. 💚☘️🇮🇪🇺🇲 My family knows I've requested this to be played in the church during my funeral. This song leaves me crying everytime I hear it. Thank you Dropkick Murphy's
I had a very troubled life and then I became pregnant with my son. He changed my whole life. His name means light in the dark. I have a big tattoo with 3 roses with his name in it on my heart. A few weeks ago I heard this song. Now it's one of my favorites. So Thank you 🌹
You changed for him! That he shouldn't have to go through the shit pit. Bless you kiddo! "The world is full of Kings and Queens who blind your eyes & steal your dreams!" (Black Sabbath)
This was my mom's favorite song...i lost her sadly to brain cancer but she is still with me everytime i listen to this song....she was an amazing woman ❤️
This song has become my family theme. I've taught it to my 5 yo son. And every time we listen to it he goes through all the rose tats on my body and names every family member that each flower is for.
Therein lies a trick. Instead of expecting something and then randomly having the universe destroy one’s expectations, you should, Epicurus says, lower your expectations so that most of what can happen will be better than what you expect.
@@doveprogramme 🤘🏽🏴☠️🎶 There now is a new pirate metal band that consist of 5 stunning beautiful women. Called Pirate Queen. Check out their first video here: ua-cam.com/video/wdI388LjgnI/v-deo.htmlsi=ngaN0gPU04AhLC07
I had the weirdest experience when I first heard this song. I had some random playlist with electronic music and suddenly this track popped, I started crying like crazy without reason while smiling at the same time. It never happed to me before, I felt some weird connection to this song, and I'm not even Irish, I'm Polish living in UK. What an awesome experience. Thank you!
@@cootegeelan8592 No he just told you he wasn't Irish. Handing out our nationality to everyone kind of takes away the whole meaning of being from a country including disregarding his own nationality. Also cringe.
Lost my mom just a month ago. She was suffering in the hospital while I was at sea. The pandemic made it so difficult for me to go back home but I'm glad I made it before she died. I was able to tell her how much she means to me and how much I love her, said our goodbyes and shared kisses Next week im getting a rose tattoo with her name on it. I love you mom.
I found this song after my friend Johnnie passed away from suicide. I always called him my rose with thorns. Life for him was beautiful to look at but painful in every touching moment. I'm getting a rose tattoo in his honor. Rest easy my friend! You'll never know how much I loved you. Our memory will live on.
This song just resonated with me so much. I lost my oldest son in 2018. I don't have a rose tattoo, but I recreated the tattoo he got at 18. He got a heart with "mom" in it. After he passed, I got a heart with his signature in it. And I'll take it and my love for him to the grave.
Greetings from the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio. I can't get enough of this beautiful wonderful song. The flow and the power of the words and the driving music are off the charts of our galaxy!!
It just goes to show how much Americans are ignorant... All that access to the internet for nothing.. They can't even google where the band is from before looking like dumbassess online..
What a badass song! It stirs all kinds of emotions within me. I try my best to sing along only to draw tears to my eyes and a crack in my voice. Beautiful and sincere lyrics. Cheers, my Brothers!
One of my All-Time-Favorite Songs 😊This masterpiece is not the only reason, but a big part of it, that I have a rose tattoo on the inside of my left upper arm. Proud of it ! 🌹
My dad just died two weeks ago, me and him listened to this song almost every day i swear. He got a rose tattooed on his hand with my name on a banner. I love this band so much.
grew up with the murphys and always asked for ‘the boston song’ in the car along with my dad putting this one on, i’ve always liked this song but my dad passed a couple years ago and now it has more meaning to me, four more years and i’ll get a rose tattoo for him. greatest song in history and nobody can change my mind
I cry every time I hear this song. Man that thought me everything and inspired me to be everything that I am today. He left us this november 14th. Love you, dad.
Mezmerizer 9 This song is so meaningful to me too as I lost my dad this year in March so I feel that pain you’ve got 🥺😢, R,I,P, dad you’ll always be in our hearts, miss you so much every single day love you soooooo much,
Sorry for your loss. We just lost an immediate family member too on Nov 16 and this was his favorite band. He had a rose tattoo with the name of the love of his life. 💔
My father died also in November and so it has to be, this song gets more power, im sad and proud the same time. May our fathers souls rest in peace. Cheers ;)
Good music is like a highlight reel of our best moments to the darkest corners of our life. It is always there to support and give good advice. I couldn't live without it.
Favorite DKM song and that says alot. I got my dog on my arm. People think it's weird and most don't understand why I did it - but she saved my life and was always by my side. I miss her every day, always will.
I've since moved on from MA. DKM will always be a love of mine. I've partied with them. I've moshed with them. I've seen random off shows in punk clubs. I've bought tickets to random showings that were on drives back from somewhere. DKM is my love affair in music. Always there when I'm away from home and always a good time. Love these dudes until the grave.
My grandmother wasn't a punk rocker but she would have appreciated the message in this epic song, and I will always have a place in my heart for such a great woman and inspiration everytime I hear this song, her name was rose, and It will be forever etched upon my skin.
I've only recently found the Dropkick Murphys, and l can not stop listening to their music. Totally infectious. They haven't a bad number in their catalogue. I went to see them in Wembley last year 2022 and didn't disappoint, but Al Barr was sadly missed in the lineup.
Almost 8 years my grandma's been gone. She was my best friend for many years, and she was a proud Irish woman. It's been almost a year since I've gotten a tattoo to honor her memory; a sapphire (her birthstone) in the middle of a purple rose (her favorite flower).
This is the most Irish of songs, a true masterpiece. Luke Kelly would have be proud to have written it. The dark spirit of Ireland lives in you.. a Murphy from Ringsend!!
I have several rose tattoos, the one I haven't gotten yet is for my son. He left this world way to soon. Probably the hardest one yet. Stay strong my friends and never give up!
I know its not a rose, but i have my dogs paw print tattoo. He’s 12, had him since he was a puppy. Spent more hours with him than i can count to. I moved away almost a year ago and had to leave him with my mum. But the lyrics “This one means the most to me, It stays here for eternity” and “You'll always be there with me, Even if you're gone, You'll always have my love, Your memory will live on” really do get to me. It’s been a long and lonely 4 months in lockdown. Hearing this song has made me book an emergency holiday home. Can’t wait to see my woofer. ❤️
I have never managed to find a stronger mortal bind than a human-human and human-dog bond. My maltese is currently 2 years old, I have invested a bit too much love in him (if there is even a thing such as “too much love”) and I am already thinking about the day he dies. A piece of my soul would be torn. Kiss your woofer and love him to eternity :)
My daughter’s favorite song!! She love’s to sing this song everytime we cook together and she’s only 9yrs. old. Thank you DKM for this wonderful song! 🔥
So mine lol ways up with the kids lol mind u I was banged up when stood mate showed me da Murphy's and since then a constant in the music collection lol
I hear this and think of my Da. He had a rose tattoo on his left forearm, to cover an older, less savoury tattoo from his younger years. When I asked him why he got it when I was about 5, he said "For you." I giggled, because he'd had it at least 10 years by then but, when I heard this song the first time, many years later, I understood with amazing clarity what he meant. "Signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you"... he's been gone 10 years now. This song is a bittersweet tribute to my first love and biggest hero whenever I hear it.
I remember seeing the Murphy's for like $5 at the Elvis Room. Miss those shows so much. Nothing like having all of your friends in just one room with one of the best bands, everyone singing. Always felt like there was nothing else going on in the world but being there with your friends.
Amazing. Love this band. And there style. Makes me feel 20 all over again. I always appreciate seeing the young go out and show there awsome talent. I was always was told. You aint got nothing nice to say. Dont say it at all . And Im proud to see young talent. Hearing them on Radio. This group rocks
they've been about for like 20 years my dude, but yea they're awesome, making me feel stuff and things, in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, their particular style isn't as common as you might think, so for once I think those USA actually did a good and produced these guys :D
Everything about this song reminds me of my memory of my mother. She was likely the toughest most loving and forgiving person I ever knew. Sharon Rose Cunningham.
My daughter passed away March 2022 and my partner passed in January 2023. My daughter loved ya'll and especially this song as did my partner. I'm going to have their names written in a rose tattoo.
I love this band, this song and the line “I keep these memories all around me so I wouldn’t be alone.” My room is absolutely covered with photos of my loved ones and that line perfectly describes WHY I do and have always done this. A lovely and catchy tune 🎼🤘🏻
This song reaches so deep into my soul I feel like it just resonates and rumbles something old within me. My Irish Grandmother would approve of how this resides, somehow, in my soul.
I have a tattoo in honor of my grandmother. She was the biggest supporter in my life, and I miss her everyday. She accepted me after I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. All my odd habits and OCD's she didn't care. I'm going to get tattoos soon to honor my dogs and cat that passed away. They saved me more times than I care to count.
Sounds like the perfect reason to do it. But Schizophrenia isn't the worst thing that could happen to you. Comes with its own special challenges, but treatment works reasonably well. Not a stigma anymore. Don't worry too much, just do what you need to feel decent.
@@lyleschoepflin5444 (I'm french, sorry for the mistakes.) One of my relative has bien diagnosed with shizophrenia, and my best friend with bipolarity. While I canno't speak in their names, I do know what it can be to live with someone with a "mental ilness" (probably not the best term to use, sorry if it offends you it was not the purpose). While it can be a "long journey to understand'", in the end your point of view will never be less important. Yes most of the people canno't understand how you feel, what you think... But in the end, it is not you that should adapt yourself but our societies (the plural form here is important). Be free my friend, do not stand alone and then, I hope, you shall find the assistance you need. (It not a statement against medication or pro-medication, I'm not a specialist. All I know is that people in your situation or alike-situation "need" to have friends or relative to support you. And if you can't, well I hope that in your coutry you can call associationns or collective organisations who knows what they talk about) I wish you the best, and if not do not forget that you are never alone
@@Soapman29 I take no offense, I have a pretty great support group around me. It took me some time but I have some really great life savers. Merci beaucoup.
saw them live this weekend i was so fucking happy as they played rose tattoo it´s my absolute favorite song thank you for this awesome music and this awesome experience you gave me
I recently lost my dog, I called him my “son” because he behaved that way, he was devoted to his “mama.” Even when I had to put him down due to lymphoma, he couldn’t take his eyes off me. I listen to this song every day as part of my mourning process; when I have recovered, I shall get another hound. Thank you for this song outlining how I feel.
I'm so sorry. I feel your grief. I had to have my beloved pit bull of 14 years put down on Dec 13th,nothing could be done to help her,,and I'm STILL grieving. The night she died I stayed up all night,listening to this song,drinking Jamesons,and crying. Her name was Rooster and this summer I'll be getting a Rooster tattoo..... I know what it's like to lose a child,my 13 yr old son died 11 years ago of kidney failure. And although nothing compares to losing a child,and there's a literal hole in my Heart with his name,,losing a cherished and beloved dog sure comes close........when you feel strong enough,listen to Maggie's Song by Chris Stapleton. And have a box of tissues handy......🌻
@Yogi Bear The Pit I lost in December,the one I still have now,and my 14 yr old Dobie who I lost last April were all rescues. I look at my one remaining dog,Nala,and think,yes,I saved your life,but you saved mine. I fostered then adopted her about 2 years after my son died and I was a sinking ship... Thank you for working with these dogs,ugghh,I'm crying now lol..... And yes,I truly believe that my Rooster has joined up with my son,they were buddies in life,and are buddies again in the afterlife....
@ Vivienne Clarke: I thank you for your kind words. My Gordie (named for Gordie Howe [long story]) was truly a part of the family towards the end. He was very bright, highly trained/empathetic & worked to protect me from my epileptic fits. His lymphoma took him in 3days; I couldn’t bear to see him suffer. People in the neighborhood didn’t like seeing me without a dog though. They thought I was only half a person. My mother and I don’t drive so friends of ours took us to the Humane Society. I only rescue dogs; I couldn’t give a s**t about purebreds & would rather give a nice home to someone who truly needs it. I HAD a Walker Coon Hound & really wanted one again; there wasn’t anyone even resembling my Gordie (physically) but I found a very sweet, extremely handsome (dark brindle), brilliant, mischievous, affectionate, counter surfer extraordinaire who believes EVERYONE exists to pet him. He is 5 years old (I prefer adult dogs; Gordie was 7 when I adopted him), loves everyone, and is in “discussions” with me atm about which side of the bed is HIS and which is MINE. I named him “Moritz” after my best friend in Germany’s son (age 15)-but only after getting express permission to do so. I’ve never had children before so my animals have always been my children. THIS dog identified me as “mama” in under 5 mins when we went to the “meet & greet room”; I am also gradually teaching him German (not just commands). I had another dog, Hannelore, who was completely bilingual-so I know it’s possible if the dog is smart enough (I was a high school German teacher before I became disabled). As for whether the dogs I’ve had are in heaven, well I’m an agnostic. I was raised Lutheran but the whole heaven/hell concept rather weirds me out a bit. I’d like to believe they’re in a nice place-but I don’t know and I’m not comfortable with a lot of the rest of that. I just comfort myself with the fact that I alleviated Gordies suffering and Moritz is lying next to me as I write this.
I used to love one of two songs when I was a kid and I have been looking for both of them I found the other one but this is the most nostalgic for me it reminds me of a few important people I will never see again
I’m not Irish, I’m not American, I’m not from Boston, I don’t have any tattoo... but when I listen this song I dream into conquer the 7 seas with my beer
I absolutely love this song! It's on my daily play list along with a bunch of other favorites of these awsome soles! They have literally helped me through life. Let's just say they have been very therapeutic! Thank you for being one of my very favorite bands. I have loved them for many moons. I'm 49 years old & I love them as much as I did when I first recall listening to years ago. Correction I love them even more, sincerely Lu . ❤️🙌🙏🤟
this song was the inspiration for 2 tattoos dedicated to my wife and my 2 daughters. things don't always go as planned but, i will always hold my family close to my heart. good, bad, distant or separated, regardless of the circumstances, i would lay down my life for anyone of them. Signed and sealed in blood...
My best friend introduced me to these guys and this song means so much to me. My best friend is probably not going to live much longer. His heart is in bad bad shape. He is going to do my rose tattoo for me tomorrow before he goes back to Alabama. The words "You'll always be here with me even after you're gone" will be part of the tattoo.
Timeless....therein lies a trick. Instead of expecting something and then randomly having the universe destroy one’s expectations, you should, Epicurus says, lower your expectations so that most of what can happen will be better than what you expect.
The pictures tell the story This life has many shades I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette That smoldered in its tray Down a little something and then be on my way I traveled far and wide And laid this head in many ports I was guided by a compass I saw beauty to the North I drew the tales of many lives And wore the faces of my own I had these memories all around me So I wouldn't be alone Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I aint winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo This ones for the mighty sea Mischief, gold and piracy This ones for the man that raised me Taught me sacrifice and bravery This ones for our favorite game Black and gold, we wave the flag This ones for my family name With pride I'll wear it to the grave Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didnt have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo This one means the most to me Stays here for eternity A ship that always stays the course An anchor for my every choice A rose that shines down from above I signed and sealed these words in blood I heard them once, sung in a song It played again and we sang along You'll always be here with me Even if you're gone You'll always have my love Our memory will live on Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didnt have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo With pride I'll wear it to the grave for you In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo Ive got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you
Julia Ferretti this song is about bassist and singer Ken Casey's tattoos and the meaning behind them. but I couldn't find a clear answer to the beauty to the north.
Julia Ferretti Pretty sure It's an old sailor saying. Ireland and Scotland are due north of the shipping lanes of the UK and Spain. "I was guided by a compass,I saw beauty to the north" Would probably mean They just knew they were getting close to Home.
I am from Russia, from the glorious city of St. Petersburg. I am 44 years old and I !till remember their 98 album "Do or Die". Damn, it's a great band and great music. Good health to everyone and a case of dark beer!
This song speaks so deeply to me. My husband and I have suffered child loss but we also have three incredibly amazing children…I bare all their names with roses next to each…I sing this song every Mother’s Day to them…”In a rose tattoo, in a rose tattoo, with pride I’ll wear it to the grave for you”…” In a rose tattoo, in a rose tattoo, signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you”…❤🌹
My younger brother committed suicide by cop in my mom's front yard 2 weeks ago today. This song has always been beloved by my wife and I. There's just such a deeper meaning now. Remember the ones you love.
This song is all about my life, as I have a rose tattoo for my mom. Always reminds me of growing up and living in adulthood, now I have my own children and will always have those memories of moments with them. Ironically my boys love this song too! Thanks DKM
My Dad died last week and my Mum died last year. They were both in there late 70s. They both loved tattos and irish culture. Especially american irish culture. So please give me a like and bring them back to life. God rest there Souls
Sorry for your loss my mother in law who was like my 2nd mom died 3 years ago she was from Boston. Great lady think about her every time I hear this. Amen

Not a sailor. Not Irish. Have no tattoos. Just a broken & lost 35 y.o. man. But just every word in this song resonates deep inside of me. It took like 50+ times to learn to listen to this without shedding a tear or two. Absolutely favourite song of all time. When I’m down, I remember how many views this video has. For me it means, that I’m way not alone like this. It helps. Thanks, Dropkick Murphys, for this feeling. Thanks for your great music.
not a sailor, brazilian n full of tatt's . i feel ya bro!

My mother passed away March 1 2024. This track makes me think of her and it's been a big comfort when the bad thoughts get to me. Thank you.
A big huge from Chile my brother, I gonna tattoo a Rosee in honor of my dear grandma, she passed away in febrary 2023. I know your pain
Condolences for your loss. Hope you and yours find peace.
Rest in peace mother
dont have kids
Also for my mother. Love you guys for being honest and raw.
I’m leaving this comment here so when someone likes it I will get a reminder of this song.
Heres another reminder
😊
Again one reminder😏
Nice
Love it my brother showed me this song and now it's ours 😁
It is 2024, and this song was the first thing to pop into my head after going through some shit... I hope others find the strength to carry on from this song like I have ✊️💪
Yeah bro feel ye, then play shipping up to Boston when you're back to normal so you're ready to take on the world again 👊
Life will always bud, be a rocky road.. If you decide to play brilliant irish music you will climb the world my friend and fxxx everyone in it,,,, stay safe and sound mate ❤❤👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Same here mate
Back in my 20s, I was in trouble with law, and Dropkick kinda woke me up from dumbshit self.
Don't worry...
it'll get worse.
2 years ago on this day I lost my little brother to suicide. My brother and I tried to stop him right up to the very end... I sit here weeping, typing this out listening to this song on loop thinking about him. We both tattooed his name on us and wear him on our arms til our dying day. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. Thank you Dropkick Murphy for making this amazing and wonderful song. We saw you in KC with Flogging Molly as you preformed this song... it means so much to us, please.. never stop playing this song.
brent meadows May he Rest In Peace. I nearly took my life about a year ago, so I understand.
My prayers are with you, your brother and the one that passed, and your family. Keep going strong! It sucks, I lost my aunt 2 years ago, I know what it feels like. Yet again, keep going, you can do it!
So sorry for your loss. I hope your brother is at peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's beautiful to have this song and amazing memories to look at fondly. 💕🌹
I’m sorry for your loss but i hope he’s at peace if I knew him I would have a rose tattoo as well and I don’t even know you
As the son of a man who raised me and my brother alone and sacrificed for us at every turn. The line 'This one's for the man that raised me _taught_ me sacrifice and bravery' hits like a hammer. I love this song.
For me "this one is my family's name and with pride I'll wear it to the grave
@@ineedapharmists yeah, that's a pretty great line to.
That line reminds me of my dad and sisters who are firefighters
@@mamaluigi74 That can certainly require sacrifice and bravery. Thank them for me please, first responders need more recognition and what they do is important.
Hjyh my😊🎉😢😂
My 16-year-old son and I listen to this song every time we drive anywhere together. Being his father has given me purpose and my life meaning. I've decided to get HIS name in a rose tattoo, but with one difference that I think fitting for the themes of the song and our relationship: it'll be a compass rose, not a flower.
Ive got both. 👍🏻
hah gayyyyyyy
It's a lifestyle! This is all
@@Mr123ichkomme 😆 i came here looking for you. Bravo to this man though

I'm leaving this comment here because I want my dad in Heaven to know I think about him, even though I walked out on him years ago, after he spent decades to find me just to be a part of my life, and he died before I could reconnect. Every time I think of him he'll be reminded of all the things he knows now that I never got to tell his earthly self. So this will do that.

This song will always be a reminder of 2018. I was in a biker bar in Arizona, and a woman was singing this song. The whole bar sang along, and it was great. There was beer and liquor flying all over the place. Best year of my life I'd say.
My wife Sue passed away in 2016.she will always be remembered in the rose tattoo I have on my arm inspired by this amazing song....thanks Dropkicks...
I love you XXX
Sorry for your loss ☕

My condolences on your loss 😢
I have my wife's name translated into Quenya & written by her own hand in Tengwar script tattooed on my left forearm.
COVID nearly took her in 2021 & she'll be on permanent disability the rest of her life.
Our 25th Anniversary is in September.
Live goes on my Brother!!! She will always be around...
Never take a knee!!!
I got the wifes name on a rose tattoo a year before she passed away, I only wish I had found this song before she passed so I could sing it to her, to let her know how special she was, now every time I hear it she's all I can think about, she's gone 3 yrs now, I miss more everyday.
Heartbroke to read this. All my thoughts go with you mate. Take care, and dont forget to enjoy life, even if it's hard, people gone too soon would want us to live life to the fullest. Even if it's not for us, as a tribute to them.
She hears you mate she hears you play her broken hymns it's a beautiful story and my son is called Jimmy too
Sorry brother. Hang in there. RIP to your lovely wife. Sometimes the angels just have to go home from this wicked world.
she knows linda in scotland
Damn brother I feel ya, bet she listen the song with you whereever she is now
My dad shared this to me a couple years back. It just came up on my fb memories ... so now I'm here listening to this, missing you dad. RIP. 😭
Stay strong brother, hope you and family are all well during Christmas x

Our Dad was from Dublin, our Mom was a Limerick Lady, both sadly no longer with us. They met and married here in England where myself and siblings were born but we're so proud of our Irish roots and huge extended family. Happy St Patrick's Day to all the Irish people wherever you are in the world! 🍀🇮🇪☘️
Looking forward to seeing you guys performing here in England again ASAP! 😊
Just realized I’m having a child, I’m an American whose family on both sides came from our home, I can’t explain it but you are my people, I will fight for you and for my child, go on home British soldiers
I sent my grandpa this song in 2013, he was about 85 then. He said it reminded him of going to O'Leary's in St. Paul Minn way back in the day. I hope he rests in peace, I still listen to this song a lot.
As my wife and i came together we loved this song.. today my son was born and this song was always by our side ❤
Congratulations on your new son. Wishing you all the best 🍀🍀🍀
Yaaaaaaa!!!!!!! ❤❤❤ ohhhhhhhhhhh oohhhh ohhhh oh oh oh 😎

it might be just a coincidence, but today while getting a rose tattoo on my shoulder to honour my dad and my grandad, this song was playing over the radio. the artist told me, hey - listen to this, this song is for you. what a great timing. hats off to all of you who made it through all the life's hardship thinking about and honouring your loved ones. may you all be happy and free, always!
Awesome
The love of my life was named Rose, I was never so close to anybody or as happy as I was with her. She died tragically at 31 years old and turn my life upside down. This song and album came out a month after she was taken from me.Needless to say, It's hard to get through the song with dry eye.
Hope you are doing better mate.. I am in the same situation, kind of. Well just now have I found the one I truly love

Thought it would be easy, as my home is empty and for sale sign up locking the door as i leave for 1500 miles of travel i played this song to hear comforting words . Boston strong !! Theres no place in this world comparable to boston and the memories ive shared here . The only thing i wont miss was our trash weather . My rose tattoo i got when i was 17 speaks for itself. Love you mom , rest in peace big brother .

sorry to hear that, irish music can be very touchable in spritiaul feelings.
Fun fact: The poker hand in the first part of the video is called the “Dead Man’s Hand” and it consists of the two black Aces and 8’s, as well as one red card, commonly believed to be an Ace of Hearts (Some stories a Joker). It’s called the dead man’s hand because Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed while playing a game of poker, and this was the hand he held.
Noticed that! Wild Bills hand!
@James Conner I was pointing it out for others that didn’t understand the significance of the hand
Amazing
@@stupidthefish1979 i did not know that
@James Conner i didn't know that.
Have heard of the band but for some reason never checked them out. About 3 months ago a friend of mine from high school,who I hadn't seen in a looong time got a hold of me and we met for lunch and he told me about the band and this song. When I got home I went to my computer and checked it out. What an awesome song. Then I listened to a lot of their music and loved it all.A really really good band. Mad at myself for not checking them out when I first heard of them. But I am glad I know of them now.
1:40 1:49 this song always makes me think of my stepdad and him marrying my mom. He truly is one of the best things to happens to my family. Isnt it amazing that someone who wandered into your life can do soo much better than the one who conceived you
. Respect to the stepdads who made a difference for the better
Lyrics:
The pictures tell the story
This life had many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette
That smoldered in its tray
Down a little something and then be on my way
I traveled far and wide
And laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn't be alone
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
This ones for the mighty sea
Mischief, gold and piracy
This ones for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This ones for our favorite game
Black and gold, we wave the flag
This ones for my family name
With pride I wear it to the grave
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
This one means the most to me
It stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course
An anchor for my every choice
A rose that shines down from above
I signed and sealed these words in blood
I heard them once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along
You'll always be here with me
Even if you're gone
You'll always have my love
Our memory will live on
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
With pride I'll wear it to the grave for you
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo

Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you

Therein lies a trick. Instead of expecting something and then randomly having the universe destroy one’s expectations, you should, Epicurus says, lower your

I'm getting a rose tattoo in his honor. Rest easy my friend! You'll never know how much I loved you. Our memory will live on.
My kids wore a Dropkick's shirt when they were babies. Signs that they would grow up lovin good music😉.
Happy St. Patrick's Day🍀 Stay safe.
This song just resonated with me so much. I lost my oldest son in 2018. I don't have a rose tattoo, but I recreated the tattoo he got at 18. He got a heart with "mom" in it. After he passed, I got a heart with his signature in it. And I'll take it and my love for him to the grave.
Greetings from the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio. I can't get enough of this beautiful wonderful song. The flow and the power of the words and the driving music are off the charts of our galaxy!!
It just goes to show how much Americans are ignorant... All that access to the internet for nothing.. They can't even google where the band is from before looking like dumbassess online..
+Nero Archangel Do you go looking through the internet before you leave a comment? If you do you've got too much time my friend.
Nate Byrne Nah, I just listen to a lot of music and tend to notice stupidity everywhere.

"this one's for my family name with pride I'll wear it to the grave"

Favorite DKM song and that says alot. I got my dog on my arm. People think it's weird and most don't understand why I did it - but she saved my life and was always by my side. I miss her every day, always will.
I've since moved on from MA. DKM will always be a love of mine. I've partied with them. I've moshed with them. I've seen random off shows in punk clubs. I've bought tickets to random showings that were on drives back from somewhere. DKM is my love affair in music. Always there when I'm away from home and always a good time. Love these dudes until the grave.
My grandmother wasn't a punk rocker but she would have appreciated the message in this epic song, and I will always have a place in my heart for such a great woman and inspiration everytime I hear this song, her name was rose, and It will be forever etched upon my skin.
"Signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you"
That's all that matters.
I've only recently found the Dropkick Murphys, and l can not stop listening to their music. Totally infectious. They haven't a bad number in their catalogue. I went to see them in Wembley last year 2022 and didn't disappoint, but Al Barr was sadly missed in the lineup.
You are in for a treat. Saw the m st Patrick's day in San Francisco. Listen to the live on st Patrick's day album when they in Boston I believe.

Almost 8 years my grandma's been gone. She was my best friend for many years, and she was a proud Irish woman. It's been almost a year since I've gotten a tattoo to honor her memory; a sapphire (her birthstone) in the middle of a purple rose (her favorite flower).

But the lyrics “This one means the most to me, It stays here for eternity” and “You'll always be there with me, Even if you're gone, You'll always have my love, Your memory will live on” really do get to me. It’s been a long and lonely 4 months in lockdown. Hearing this song has made me book an emergency holiday home. Can’t wait to see my woofer. ❤️
Good for you, I hope you do. 🍺 Cheers.
I have never managed to find a stronger mortal bind than a human-human and human-dog bond.
My maltese is currently 2 years old, I have invested a bit too much love in him (if there is even a thing such as “too much love”) and I am already thinking about the day he dies. A piece of my soul would be torn.
Kiss your woofer and love him to eternity :)

In memory of my mom who died from cancer on Sept 20, 2018; this was one of her favorite songs 💕
2021
Lost mine in 2009 to that nasty shit
Sorry for your loss.. I lost my grandma on 22.9 -14..
Fighters all.
RIP Madam Murphy. Life can be tough but remains beautiful.
My daughter’s favorite song!! She love’s to sing this song everytime we cook together and she’s only 9yrs. old. Thank you DKM for this wonderful song! 🔥
My daughters, 6 and 9, favourite song too.
So mine lol ways up with the kids lol mind u I was banged up when stood mate showed me da Murphy's and since then a constant in the music collection lol
Cheers mate 🍺
My great granddaughter,5 yrs says its her favorite song! Sings it loudly!

I hear this and think of my Da. He had a rose tattoo on his left forearm, to cover an older, less savoury tattoo from his younger years. When I asked him why he got it when I was about 5, he said "For you."
I giggled, because he'd had it at least 10 years by then but, when I heard this song the first time, many years later, I understood with amazing clarity what he meant. "Signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you"... he's been gone 10 years now. This song is a bittersweet tribute to my first love and biggest hero whenever I hear it.
I remember seeing the Murphy's for like $5 at the Elvis Room. Miss those shows so much. Nothing like having all of your friends in just one room with one of the best bands, everyone singing. Always felt like there was nothing else going on in the world but being there with your friends.
My dad passed last month…
@@lennydabits8216 my condolences to you and yours.
Amazing. Love this band. And there style. Makes me feel 20 all over again. I always appreciate seeing the young go out and show there awsome talent. I was always was told. You aint got nothing nice to say. Dont say it at all . And Im proud to see young talent. Hearing them on Radio. This group rocks
They're not that young tho
they've been about for like 20 years my dude, but yea they're awesome, making me feel stuff and things, in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, their particular style isn't as common as you might think, so for once I think those USA actually did a good and produced these guys :D
Lightwaves I don't think he meant they were the young talent.
I've been a drop kick fan since 1989......
since 89? they formed in 96
This song is absolutely awesome.
Wish more people had a sense for this good kind of music.
I'm glad to see the success these hometown boys are getting, thanks for all the years, and the tears all the fucking brilliance.
Everything about this song reminds me of my memory of my mother. She was likely the toughest most loving and forgiving person I ever knew. Sharon Rose Cunningham.
To the tough one's! My Mothers name is Rose her sister Sharon
My daughter passed away March 2022 and my partner passed in January 2023. My daughter loved ya'll and especially this song as did my partner. I'm going to have their names written in a rose tattoo.
My daughters name is Ruby
❤❤❤ so sorry.
❤❤❤❤ wish you strength
Damn
🙏
I love this band, this song and the line “I keep these memories all around me so I wouldn’t be alone.” My room is absolutely covered with photos of my loved ones and that line perfectly describes WHY I do and have always done this. A lovely and catchy tune 🎼🤘🏻
Hello, How are you doing? It nice seeing you here
@@rileygreen8175 where the hell would a small town girl climb up?
You'll always be here with me even if your gone.
Her memory will live on
can we all agree that this is one of the best song Dropkick Murphys ever written?
In my world, this is not just one of the bests, this IS The Best.
HALL yea
I know of no other song from this band. I know this song is one of the best songs written by ANY band, period.
My personal favorite
I remember seeing them in the early 2000s. They are wonderful. It makes you want to smile.
„If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, you’re lucky enough” How great is that?
I`m half lucky
Pretty Fuckin Lucky™
ironic, since the luck of the irish is - historically - absolutely terrible lol.
@@demonickiller6315 yes they jave suffered a lot in their history.
Just heard this song during to my father In law today! What an amazing band, vocals are amazing as well!
This song reaches so deep into my soul I feel like it just resonates and rumbles something old within me. My Irish Grandmother would approve of how this resides, somehow, in my soul.
I have a tattoo in honor of my grandmother. She was the biggest supporter in my life, and I miss her everyday. She accepted me after I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. All my odd habits and OCD's she didn't care. I'm going to get tattoos soon to honor my dogs and cat that passed away. They saved me more times than I care to count.
Sounds like the perfect reason to do it. But Schizophrenia isn't the worst thing that could happen to you. Comes with its own special challenges, but treatment works reasonably well. Not a stigma anymore. Don't worry too much, just do what you need to feel decent.
@@rebel4466 I was 15 when I was diagnosed and when I told people they would step back like I was horribly contagious.
@@lyleschoepflin5444 (I'm french, sorry for the mistakes.)
One of my relative has bien diagnosed with shizophrenia, and my best friend with bipolarity. While I canno't speak in their names, I do know what it can be to live with someone with a "mental ilness" (probably not the best term to use, sorry if it offends you it was not the purpose). While it can be a "long journey to understand'", in the end your point of view will never be less important. Yes most of the people canno't understand how you feel, what you think... But in the end, it is not you that should adapt yourself but our societies (the plural form here is important). Be free my friend, do not stand alone and then, I hope, you shall find the assistance you need.
(It not a statement against medication or pro-medication, I'm not a specialist. All I know is that people in your situation or alike-situation "need" to have friends or relative to support you. And if you can't, well I hope that in your coutry you can call associationns or collective organisations who knows what they talk about)
I wish you the best, and if not do not forget that you are never alone
@@Soapman29 I take no offense, I have a pretty great support group around me. It took me some time but I have some really great life savers. Merci beaucoup.
Amen my friend! Got an anchor with a tiger lily for my Gpa, he was a Navy Corpsman during Korea & Vietnam, awesome man.
saw them live this weekend i was so fucking happy as they played rose tattoo it´s my absolute favorite song thank you for this awesome music and this awesome experience you gave me
Same. :)
Graspop metal meeting 2016?

Irish bruh, we built this country! USA USA!!!!!
hahahahhahaahahahaahahahahah......shh,
This song comforts me in many ways on the darkest days. Thank you for it.
Reminder 😊
Reno. Grand Sierra. February. 15th Dropkicks!
My 5 year old daughter sings this at school! She even taught it to a few of the kids in her class. So proud!
Laura Sigsworth its a beautiful song
Parenting win
now you gotta get her to sing jonny I hardly knew ya in school
Laura Sigsworth yes just yes your are a number one parent
Josiah started talking trucks at 3 🤔 got yourself a child prodigy right there
I recently lost my dog, I called him my “son” because he behaved that way, he was devoted to his “mama.” Even when I had to put him down due to lymphoma, he couldn’t take his eyes off me. I listen to this song every day as part of my mourning process; when I have recovered, I shall get another hound. Thank you for this song outlining how I feel.
I'm so sorry. I feel your grief. I had to have my beloved pit bull of 14 years put down on Dec 13th,nothing could be done to help her,,and I'm STILL grieving. The night she died I stayed up all night,listening to this song,drinking Jamesons,and crying. Her name was Rooster and this summer I'll be getting a Rooster tattoo.....
I know what it's like to lose a child,my 13 yr old son died 11 years ago of kidney failure. And although nothing compares to losing a child,and there's a literal hole in my Heart with his name,,losing a cherished and beloved dog sure comes close........when you feel strong enough,listen to Maggie's Song by Chris Stapleton. And have a box of tissues handy......🌻
@Yogi Bear The Pit I lost in December,the one I still have now,and my 14 yr old Dobie who I lost last April were all rescues. I look at my one remaining dog,Nala,and think,yes,I saved your life,but you saved mine. I fostered then adopted her about 2 years after my son died and I was a sinking ship...
Thank you for working with these dogs,ugghh,I'm crying now lol.....
And yes,I truly believe that my Rooster has joined up with my son,they were buddies in life,and are buddies again in the afterlife....
beautiful
@ Vivienne Clarke: I thank you for your kind words. My Gordie (named for Gordie Howe [long story]) was truly a part of the family towards the end. He was very bright, highly trained/empathetic & worked to protect me from my epileptic fits. His lymphoma took him in 3days; I couldn’t bear to see him suffer.
People in the neighborhood didn’t like seeing me without a dog though. They thought I was only half a person. My mother and I don’t drive so friends of ours took us to the Humane Society. I only rescue dogs; I couldn’t give a s**t about purebreds & would rather give a nice home to someone who truly needs it. I HAD a Walker Coon Hound & really wanted one again; there wasn’t anyone even resembling my Gordie (physically) but I found a very sweet, extremely handsome (dark brindle), brilliant, mischievous, affectionate, counter surfer extraordinaire who believes EVERYONE exists to pet him. He is 5 years old (I prefer adult dogs; Gordie was 7 when I adopted him), loves everyone, and is in “discussions” with me atm about which side of the bed is HIS and which is MINE.
I named him “Moritz” after my best friend in Germany’s son (age 15)-but only after getting express permission to do so. I’ve never had children before so my animals have always been my children. THIS dog identified me as “mama” in under 5 mins when we went to the “meet & greet room”; I am also gradually teaching him German (not just commands). I had another dog, Hannelore, who was completely bilingual-so I know it’s possible if the dog is smart enough (I was a high school German teacher before I became disabled).
As for whether the dogs I’ve had are in heaven, well I’m an agnostic. I was raised Lutheran but the whole heaven/hell concept rather weirds me out a bit. I’d like to believe they’re in a nice place-but I don’t know and I’m not comfortable with a lot of the rest of that. I just comfort myself with the fact that I alleviated Gordies suffering and Moritz is lying next to me as I write this.
I used to love one of two songs when I was a kid and I have been looking for both of them I found the other one but this is the most nostalgic for me it reminds me of a few important people I will never see again
I’m not Irish, I’m not American, I’m not from Boston, I don’t have any tattoo... but when I listen this song I dream into conquer the 7 seas with my beer
Exactly!
You may not be Irish by nationality, but when you're listening to DM, you're Irish by heart.
I'm part Irish and I feel this comment on many levels much respect from a part time Irishman
American, with irish ancestry. Defently would love to visit Dublin someday. Love Irish culture.
uz Virgis anyway ...
"This ones for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery"
it give me chills every time i hear that
FUCKING YES!!!!
Yeah Carlos, me too.
Lucky you
Same here
not exactly a rose, but ill wear my fathers poppy tatted on my arm proudly till the day i die. i feel ya Carlos.
I absolutely love this song! It's on my daily play list along with a bunch of other favorites of these awsome soles! They have literally helped me through life. Let's just say they have been very therapeutic! Thank you for being one of my very favorite bands. I have loved them for many moons. I'm 49 years old & I love them as much as I did when I first recall listening to years ago. Correction I love them even more, sincerely Lu . ❤️🙌🙏🤟
The pictures never do justice to a life well lived. A truth challenged and a brother who gave all for others only to become one.💯💪✌
this song was the inspiration for 2 tattoos dedicated to my wife and my 2 daughters. things don't always go as planned but, i will always hold my family close to my heart. good, bad, distant or separated, regardless of the circumstances, i would lay down my life for anyone of them. Signed and sealed in blood...
And if not what kind of man would you be ? No need to comment
I love you guys. Had an Irish wedding and it was EPIC I go down in the history books, & yes...Dropkick was a big [part of the DJ's music!
It would be trully epic, if they were there live.
My best friend introduced me to these guys and this song means so much to me. My best friend is probably not going to live much longer. His heart is in bad bad shape. He is going to do my rose tattoo for me tomorrow before he goes back to Alabama. The words "You'll always be here with me even after you're gone" will be part of the tattoo.
The song just randomly popped into my head tonight after not listening to in 9 years!
Shit is timeless!
Same here but 10 years
@@NYO-CLAN timeless stuff!
Timeless....therein lies a trick. Instead of expecting something and then randomly having the universe destroy one’s expectations, you should, Epicurus says, lower your
expectations so that most of what can happen will be better than what you expect.
The pictures tell the story
This life has many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette
That smoldered in its tray
Down a little something and then be on my way
I traveled far and wide
And laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the North
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn't be alone
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I aint winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here

This ones for the mighty sea
Mischief, gold and piracy
This ones for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This ones for our favorite game
Black and gold, we wave the flag
This ones for my family name
With pride I'll wear it to the grave
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didnt have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

I've got your name written here,

I've got your name written here

This one means the most to me
Stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course
An anchor for my every choice
A rose that shines down from above
I signed and sealed these words in blood
I heard them once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along
You'll always be here with me
Even if you're gone
You'll always have my love
Our memory will live on
Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didnt have a clue
I ain't winning no one over

these lyrics are amazing ! can someone explain the beauty in the north part please?
Julia Ferretti this song is about bassist and singer Ken Casey's tattoos and the meaning behind them. but I couldn't find a clear answer to the beauty to the north.
Julia Ferretti Pretty sure It's an old sailor saying. Ireland and Scotland are due north of the shipping lanes of the UK and Spain. "I was guided by a compass,I saw beauty to the north" Would probably mean They just knew they were getting close to Home.
Margin Walker You're correct - it's a sailor saying, and yes they were close to home.
+Margin Walker Hey Shut up!
I am from Russia, from the glorious city of St. Petersburg. I am 44 years old and I !till remember their 98 album "Do or Die". Damn, it's a great band and great music. Good health to everyone and a case of dark beer!
This song speaks so deeply to me. My husband and I have suffered child loss but we also have three incredibly amazing children…I bare all their names with roses next to each…I sing this song every Mother’s Day to them…”In a rose tattoo, in a rose tattoo, with pride I’ll wear it to the grave for you”…” In a rose tattoo, in a rose tattoo, signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you”…❤🌹
So sorry for your loss bossman. Eazy always around to talk if you need to Bend a brotherly ear.
My younger brother committed suicide by cop in my mom's front yard 2 weeks ago today. This song has always been beloved by my wife and I. There's just such a deeper meaning now. Remember the ones you love.

Better than most songs these days

This song is all about my life, as I have a rose tattoo for my mom.
Always reminds me of growing up and living in adulthood, now I have my own children and will always have those memories of moments with them.
Ironically my boys love this song too!
Thanks DKM
My Dad died last week and my Mum died last year. They were both in there late 70s. They both loved tattos and irish culture. Especially american irish culture. So please give me a like and bring them back to life. God rest there Souls
Sorry for your loss my mother in law who was like my 2nd mom died 3 years ago she was from Boston. Great lady think about her every time I hear this. Amen
