Rest in peace, Shane...I can honestly say that your music and your poetry changed my whole life for the better.
My entire soul has been shaken. His poetry and their music changed and shaped my world as well. I cried watching this video, this youth, this music. I miss being young. Thank you for the music.
Покойся с миром, Шейн.
RIP Shane ❤
I couldn't have said it any better.
RIP
I live in a small town in Italy and Shane and the Pogues, believe me, meant a lot to me when I was in my twenties, even if I didn't perfectly understand the words. Rest in peace.
Grande. Io li ho visti a Milano , primi anni 90. E a Correggio, un paese vicino Reggio Emilia, pochi anni dopo. Grande Shane. Un vero Poeta.
Un abbraccio !!
Maybe you understand being a catholic? Anyways love to you from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️
Ups Too Shainr. Wherever you come from,
😂Even if you didn't understand the words is funny and sweet.
There's so many different Celtic dialects I know exactly what you mean, thanks for the laff.
This is the first time I hear of The Pogues and I think they were great.
RIP Shane MacGowen, you were an amazing songwriter and frontman. I am grateful for having had the privilege of seeing The Pogues live in the early '90's. There you were in all your glory, with your bottle of whisky in hand, getting harder and harder to understand as the night wore on, and i loved every second of it. Fly high, sir, away from the pain and troubles of this world, to the next.
Beautifully put ❤
Hinreißend gesagt , wir werden Dich nie vergessen, Shane !
I love
VERY song !!!!!!!
It's great when people ' get him'.
@@flossyfewclothes6872indeed!!!
I don’t always listen to The Pogues
...but when I do, so do my feckin neighbours!!
T L , the only way, for sure! 🤣
Yo me empapurcio de Guinness
I'm there now! :) abundant call gentleman :)
@@bosvigos9165 :-)
Fuckin neighbors! Haha. Same here
"This land was always ours, was the proud land of our fathers. It belongs to us and them and not to any of the others." Such a proper and most righteous statement for anyone indigenous to land occupied by others.
I agree.
Best wishes IRISh people frem freindly Indopenet Republic off Croatia..
SHANE is... Uff 👍
Until they all get SAG cards and billions in reparations, then it's sort of moot :)
So, Europe?
There are many european and north american nations that need to do what holland and argentina just did. Elect a libertarian , communist hating , economist.
Rest In Power . Shane MacGowan.❤
My dad passed away on 9 December. This song is going to be played at his funeral. He loved The Pogues.
God Bless
Sorry to hear that.
He and Shane died nine days apart.
Shane MacGowan. The tradition of wild Irish music might have been lost without him. Thank you for carrying that sacred flame. The bards and balladeers of old Ireland will be there to greet you and they’ll say “well done.”
Fantastic comment!
Such a moving and true comment !
Well said
Really? Will they? Did they tell you? And this is what they'll say too? 😂😂
Shane was a musical genius. The concept of mixing punk with traditional Irish music was brilliant. He more than a musician he was a poet.
Yes, Shane Mcgowan eas fantastic. Nothing else to say. 🎶🎵♩🎵🎶
Just want to drop in and say: The year is 2023 and Shane Macgowan is still alive. I appreciate everything he and the boys have done. Love from Florida.
Edit: RIP to ya Shane. Forever a legend. And everyone saying "didn't age well haha" is that what ya do, go around laughing at people who've died? Fuck off
And even more amazing; his teeth aren't ****ed up any more.
💚☘️
Claro amigo. Love from Portugal
Good man yourself
Merci à M. Shane Macgowan pour l’ensemble de son œuvre. Bonjour à tous de France 🇫🇷
Don’t cry, he’s drinking the best of them under the table up in heaven now. The world may have lost one of the best musicians of all time, but heaven gained a new angel.
That 2nd verse is the most beautiful thing ever written!
This land was always ours
It was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others
RIP Shane, I love you!
RIP Shane. A legend who has left us with a wonderful musical legacy. May angels speed you to your rest xx
Pogues deserve the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and this is possibly the best song ever written .
They would not give a damn.
Right?! Awesome lyrics yet again!
TRUTH
Almost every song from the pouges is the greatest song ever written!!!
Well they put rappers in there no so it dont mean shit anymore
R.I.P Shane . Not ashamed to say i have shed many tears today. One of greatest song writers ever and the whole band were just so damn good. Thank you for all you gave us
He made it longer than I thought he would, but not nearly as long as I wished he did… Farewell Shane, you will be sorely missed.
"Let me go, boys, let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry" - Good bye, Legend 🙏
How about the Pogues into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
And/or Country Music Hall of Fame!
@@rtaviner lol I doubt a punk rock band would make it into the country hall of fame
@@joshuas637
The Pogues are Irish punk but they have a huge underlying country vibe. Celtic Country but Country nonetheless.
@@rtaviner Muricans wouldn't have it, not their type of country music*
*Country music has fallen from from its roots, Grace. I am seriously confused by it anymore, not my Da's country(be rolling in his grave, if I'd buried him😉😃).
@kent Mcquillen yes!
Who else loves these boys in 2019!???💐 ❤️ 💕
30 years straight
Haren Russel Samson Makaea hello from Canada my friend! :D
pliers the cat hellllooo from Halifax!
I fucking well do!
Be not afraid to curse!
I'm 45 Dublin born and bred.
I do and will always do ❤️
Perhaps his true brilliance will only be recognised in death.
RIP Shane, you music was a beacon for so many lost souls, thank you ❤️
went to see the Pogues years ago and though Shane initially looked like he wasnt even going to be able to make it onto the stage he came on and the performance of the band was perhaps the finest concert i have ever been to- what an amazing group of musicians
I'm a younger fan, These guys are amazing, Nothing hits like Celtic punk
I should fall from grace with God
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
But the angels won't receive me
Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others
Let them go, boys
Let them go, boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
No corpse shall lie upon me
Coming up threes, boys
Coming up threes, boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
If I should fall from grace with God
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
So the angels won't receive me
Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
Thanks man. Always wondered what they were saying. I love the groove, never could understand the words.
@@KB15458 Irish rebel song. From the times of the IRISH TROUBLES in the 1970s, Google it IRA
@@jame2182 Will do, thanks.
@@KB15458 heartbreaking, equal to or worse than the founding of the United States of America that required the extermination and genocide of the original inhabitants of the continent
@@KB15458 my great gram came in the 1920s and she told me about the black and tans CHURCHILL sent to Ireland ALL MEN WERE MURDERED AND ALL WOMEN RAPED!!! that's the truth, but it's not allowed in history books, UNTIL THE DAY SHE DIED SHE WAS AFRAID OF CHURCHILL'S BATTALION, every single male in our family died there, some ONLY SOME WOMEN GOT OUT ALIVE, she's the only one, THE ONLY ONE FROM HER FAMILY THAT LIVED
Shane, you're loved, respected and admired by so many. Your legacy will live forever.
I must confess that I cried. RIP great Shane. Love from Lombardy, Italy
Proud to be Irish. In fond remembrance
The sheer energy emanating from this performance is surreal. I'm sad that I never saw them live, but my how thankful am I to see these videos today. Ladies and gentleman, The Pogues!
Saw them live in mid80s in a small venue. Was amazing!
. same.
I love Irish-folk music!!!
Greetings by an Albanian 🇮🇪 🇦🇱.
🙏
You the man👍.greetings from Ireland.
t’lumt vllaj, kjo asht muzik e vërtet! the irish make some of the best music and their unique sound has influenced modern music as a whole, much love from another Albanian!
So do I...The Pogues are my stuning one
Cheers from France beloved Irish people
A song about death sung by an alcoholic is one of the most positive songs ever made xx
A hint of bluegrass in this fantastic Irish tune, Shane the Shaman on the mike, the other lads playing their hearts out, and the crowd bouncing around the floor as one......the only thing I can say is....WHY WASN'T I THERE!!!! Love from the Finger Lakes, NY State.
I think Scots Irish music is where we get bluegrass. We just refined it here in the US
@@michaelmcknight8419 I think Shane took a little of the bluegrass and brought it back across to Old Erin in this one. I love bluegrass, but the problem with American country music is....THEY FORGOT THE FLUTES AND WHISTLES! I think that Calvinist thing made them think that the flute was Satan's instrument......
I think you're right. The flutes and whistles went into drum and bugle/military march tunes, which had a big influence on Celt and prison work songs and blues music. A lot of Scandinavian / Appalachian influence was in country music, too. Shane definitely assembled his influences historically. But god, did that man sing it from the soul and the blood. ❣@@joemarshall4226
Every time I listen to this I can hear the pain, the whisky and the voices of my ancestors singing along. #RIPShane this is what truth sounds like. Prayers from Jamaica 🇯🇲 & May you be in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.
One of the greatest nights of my life(musically) seeing these guys at St Andrew’s Hall in Detroit in 1994ish….Gave whole new meaning to the term “Hooley”. Positively Dionysian….🙏🎼☘️🎭🍺
Shane was no shame, everlasting song for the immortals. Thank you.
Spider and Shane, both in their prime! Music doesn't get much better than this; one of the best bands of all time!
Don't forget Thin Lizzy gentlemen!!! I do ❤ Shane, and company!!
Tears are falling today. Bless and thank you dear Mr. Macgowan. ❤️❤️❤️
A pure poet for the working class man thanks for the music and poetry and memories and rest in peace legend 🇮🇪☘️💚
There's no band like them, plenty have tried to replicate their sound, all have failed. Possibly one of the greatest live bands of all time. Impossibly catchy music that makes people who can't dance want to get up and dance until they drop. Along with Roy Keane and Guiness they are Irelands greatest export. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you, The Pogues
Damned right!! 👍
the pogues are an English band who play Irish music, they are however, brilliant, and as good as keane is he is no George Best ;) Add Hop House Lager along with guiness
Always liked them. I have Tu.rnesd-a lot of folks on to them wife joyce went to Ireland land a few months back !chuck
London Irish ☘️..
Well said☘️🚬🥂
The best Irish music ever made, ladies and gentlemen, The Pogues!
arte0021 U2 is a great rock band, one of the all-time best, but Irish music I gotta give it to the Pogues hands down!
Pete Jones U2 are wank.
Jake Welsh Hahaha
U2 is pompous, pretentious, drivel!!
***** Well in one way yes, in another way no not really, their not just for people who like to get pissed but nobody ever listened to Enya before a night on the town.
R.I.P. TO A MASTER
I bow down pour a sip
into the ground what a
sound you made mate
we shall never again
see another great poet
Brother Shane Sláinte 🍻
May the Angels receive you
The Pogues, the only Irish punk band with a rhythm that makes you wanna mosh and pogo all day long
Two words total bollox..
Have a wow day 🌷
Hope the Lads that passed are resting in peace 🌷
@@margaretroberts8222 I am positive they are. How Shane’s still alive is not only beyond me but a miracle.
The undertones from Derry too
The best Folk-Punk Band to ever have existed! Definitely Punk Legends!!
Let me go down in mud where the rivers all run dry. Farewell Shane, thanks for everything 💚 x
Shane McGowan 65 years old today. 25th December = Shaneday. (Geoff)

Two years now. I hope today found you well
3 years now. I hope you are holding up good. A song to her my friend

When I was between 18 and 21 I use to go to the pub few times a week, I use to leave house between 6 and 7 pm walking downtown for 30min to meet my friends and drink a few beers ( a lot actually )
On the road I always listen to this album, the first tracks make me full of energy and enthusiasm. I indeed stop my music as I was sharing a good moment with my friends, and play the second part of the album as I was goin back home.
For those who know, the second part is not as energic as the begining, there's some balads and sad songs and I was staggering on these sweet last songs on my way back
And every damn time, as I was staggering, I remembered that line from "A Pair of Brown Eyes" when he said "Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking".
Feelin' really concerned back then lmao
Anyway, love this album, maybe a few people will recognize themselfe in my comment, I'll be glad not to be the only one
Now that was a great short...thanks for sharing
It's one of "those" albums. The ones that hit real hard personally...
☘️🚬🥂
There was so much amazing music in the early 80's. The first time a freind made me listen to this in '82, all I could say was " holy shit"!!!!
Hah I was born in 1982! But still had your exact reaction when I discovered this yesterday from a Qxir video lol
A night of guinness, jameson, some of that great "irish kush", and the pogues, perfect night!
Vinyl Fiend668 “kush” fuck up ya bollox
Nothing wrong with a bitta kush
Music won't be the same without Shane, Very few musicians had the skill and creativity, RIP
APART FROM ABOUT A THOUSAND OTHERS
The man was a poet. Poets are rare. A few every generation. He's gone home now. ❤
I my hard driving party days I had to eventually lock this album away. If I put this on when I came in from the bar half toasted it always meant playing it on repeat until the sun came up. My liver eventually told me to cut it out! RIP Shane. A piece of divine light made human 🙏🌹
This really does take me back to them nights as a kid in the pub at all the family parties till the early hours of the morning playing with all the kids in the car park while our parents were getting shitfaced inside. It sounds bad but were some of the best nights of my life. I miss it so much. Glad to have been brought up around the Irish 💚🧡
And your kids? Out in the car park? Not a snarky question, but real.
The Pogues are the best and Shane McGowan’s teeth are part of the legend. Shane’s growly voice has shades of Leonard Cohen and his sound is at times reminiscent of Mongolian chest singing.
Shane got his teeth fixed. They made a documentary of it on bbc4. The lad being a National Treasure and all.
Pogues Mahone!
One of our biggest Poets that ever lived died. RIP Shane, your an Inspiration for everyone. Hope you rest well
Saw them once. Only time I've been scared at a gig. Early 20s, and the place packed with lads of around 40 out to relive their youth with drink and madness. It was mayhem. It was magic. Oíche mhaith a chara, codladh sámh x❤
Godspeed Shane. Thank you for the amazing music you leave behind for all of eternity to enjoy.
Here's to the people who listen to Irish music all year -- Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Calvin Maynard It's June and I'm still jamming!
+rideordie It's now, and I'm still drinking!
+Calvin Maynard I love Irish music, and all things Ireland! Hope to visit (I mean move there) someday :)

I love the Pogues and drank in the same pub as them back in the 1980s but they are not Irish. Almost all of them - including Shane MacGowan - are born in England. Smashing music that's full of Irish influences but they are Plastic Paddies.
I've just discovered this group (in December 2022). Seems like they didn't get the recognition they deserved since I've never heard of them. Or maybe I've lived under a rock... (Whatever, they're now my fav group! and I absolutely love Shane MacGown and the rest of the band.)
The second you said😅
Greetings to you under your rock 😉👋
@@veredmagen Thankfully I've been out from under for a while now!
They where huge and where recognised all over the world in the early and mid 80s and early 90s 😅 maybe you just weren't born at the time 😅🤔
@@garygareth haha...I just turned 72.
Shane fait partie de mon âme depuis la première fois que l'ai entendu en 2008 à Dublin!!
Il a un air de "Gainsbourg" Irlandais que j'adore. Un grand poète s'en est allé... une légende! RIP as you deserve Shane, so great singer you were, thank you for having been ever yourself!!!
Gainsbourg is a great comparison. A man whose force of love and being and energy was always going to be too strong for mere sanity.
I had never heard of Shane until his funeral was posted on UA-cam. I find myself captivated by him.
What a wonderful music. Listened to this while at college for months. Shane's death brought the wish to listen to it again back and reminded me how good Pogues were.
This was the first Poques song I ever heard and it has always stuck with me.
He earned his unique place in the pantheon of great Irish writers.
By far one of the best songs ever written. God bless you Shane.
God bless
The first three Pogues albums are phenomenal. We're talking all-time great.
And the Drop kick Murphy's took.over
@@padraigsisk4057 Flogging Molly actually!!
That'd be "Rum, Sodomy," "Red Roses" and "If I Should Fall," am I right? I agree with you wholeheartedly on those: "Peace and Love" is very good, but not in their class.
Seriously, no matter how sad you are this song will always cheer you up!
Which is ironic, because there is some serious lyrical dissonance going on in this song. The tune may be happy, but the words are *sad stuff*.
+Emper0rH0rde Ik and its crazy how the pogues songs are about some seriously depressing things and they sound so upbeat
despite its lyrics
I can listen to this song three times in a row. or more. And it never gets old.
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan; you are remembered well on this St. Patty's Day!
Still bad ass after all these years!
The Pogues are criminally underrated.A TRULY GREAT SONGWRITER and from the heart
Not underrated at all.
Vastly overated, tbh. A good band for a drunken singalong, but no real musical talent.
@@nookiebroon4424 you might be the biggest idiot on the face of the earth the talent is amazing in the band Shane McGowan is a god song writer and musician
Heaven is Shane going "Yeeeooowwwww" to ya as you walk in to the grace of himself up above
Drank whiskey and forgot my worries for awhile
R.l.P. Shane, you were true legend and poet I was raised with your songs from childhood until now when I'm 40 😢
RIP SHANER. Not many people can abuse their body as much as you did and live to 65. :D
I saw The Pogues live more than another band by quite some margin. Mostly in London, but also in Germany, Dublin, New York and several UK venues. St Paddy's Day 1985 was mental at the T&C.
A unique band with great characters.
I du love the pouges
,kun gode minner❤️Memory for e-verk,and ever
Saw them in tipp actually drank with Shane in a thurles bar
Happy St. Paddy's Day 2020, all you fine lads and lasses! ☘️☘️☘️
SBluvr99 ☘☘☘☘
Happy St. Paddys Day!!!!!
RIP Shane MacGowan...I'm afraid God and the angels will find you wherever your soul may be. May the unquenchable thirst be found.
This song sums up St Patrick's days of my misspent youth! Happy St Patrick's day to all.
Happy st paddy's
How many good nights out did we all have with the Pogues playing in the background, RIP Shane.
Lived my whole life in Alabama, saw The Pogues on this tour in Birmingham. Shane was one of the two drunkest performers I ever saw, I guess tied with the first time I saw Paul Westerberg with The Replacements, and yet they both completely delivered great performances. I'm surprised he made it this long. Anyway, an amazing songwriter. Hit every emotional note. This remains one of my all-time favorite albums. I think The Broad Majestic Shannon is my absolute favorite. I would be fine if they played that when I was dying myself, but I doubt anyone will think to do it.
We were in the pubs on a Friday Saturday night playing this on the video music machine. It was absolute gold and still is 30 years later.
Could happily listen to this on loop all day, awesome song
And this is a Spider's backing vocals appreciation comment
+John Hughes Same here Mate, could never get tired of this one.
im 13 live in canada [irish parents] and got this album on vinyl this year 4 my birthday
Loved it ever since I heard it in a commercial & then tracked it down.
it‘s my fear killer.
All I can say Shane, thanks for the memories and music, saw you seven times, were the best 7 gigs of my life, you maybe gone but the Pogues poetry will live forever
Really great band. I'm always hearing the songs of The Pogues... Greetings from Barcelona (Catalonia). Sláinte, Salut! ;-)
Happy St. Patrick's Day 2022! ☘ 🇮🇪 🍀
RIP, Shane MacGowan. 🙏🙏🙏💕 Thank you for the awesome music. We’re listening to your music & remembering you today in Vienna, Austria. 🇦🇹
What a marvellous song with such energy. Absolurely Irish soul song !!!
I saw the Pogues in The Concert Hall, a former Masonic hall, in Toronto when they were touring for this album. Great concert, the band were fantastic, and the venue was licensed! Beer at a Pogues concert? Need I say more? 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
That's the beauty of music, there's something for everybody. I was 16 when I heard of these guys. Living in Maine USA hanging around in irish cafes. I had heard all the rock, punk, jazz and all the rest. But then I heard the Pogues and finally thought "yeah, finally some ugly white guy singing about being poor, drunk and lonely. Finally someone of my heritage that connects to my identity!" Bless you all you drunken bastards!
One the best songs ever written , Joe Strummer loved it , Rest in peace Shane and Joe .☘️☘️☘️
As an American with a lot of Irish in me pogues make me proud to have so much irish heritage
R.I.P. To the Patron Saint Of Christmas, Shane Macgowan
a former colleague told me that a Pogues concert was the only occasion on which he vomited just from exhaustion. I totally believe it.
Saw the Pogues bin Sydney in 1990 with the latest squeeze Louise Clarke,a nurse from st Vinnie's,,much dancing and beer was to be had...
What a goddamn masterpiece.😢
RIP Darryl.
🙂💜 Fell in love in 1989 .......still in adoration in 2022 .. F*cking brilliant
We will be crying for Shane for sure. Here's to hoping the Father will buy him a whiskey and ask him for song. Christ himself will most certainly smile and ask Shane to take the stage in Heaven.
We all got a part to fill, and Shane's was that of a musician and performer. Rip old angel.😓
A classic of my college years. May you and God sort it out amicably lol. RIP THE GREAT SHANE!!
You don't get better than this!
Shane knows how to write a song!! 🎶💚
My condolences. I hope you knew how much your music means to your adoring fans.
Here's to. you, Shane. May you belt out those rare ol' mountain tunes wherever you may be.
Beautiful music and vocals shane and the pouges rest in peace shane ❤
