I am german but for me on raglan road is the most wonderfulst Song ever. I loved the voice of luke kelly.
One of my favourites
I lived near Raglan Road Dublin a beautiful street.
Yes, it was indeed Luke Kelly to whom Patrick Kavanagh had given the poem, Raglan Road, to put to music. Kelly combined Kavanagh's poem with the tune of an Irish language song, Le Fianne Gael An Lae, to produce a masterpiece worthy of Kavanagh's trust in him to do so.
My grandfather was called Patrick Mc manus and from Inniskeen. Born a few years before The poet. Would love to think they may have been acquainted.
What a beautiful story of Patrick kavnaghss life and this most amazing song,, such a beautiful country we have. 🎶😀👍
Now under threat from all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
A beautiful thing, I loved it thank you K Forde
Yep , Kelly's version is the best . Considering that it was Kavanagh himself who offered the song to Luke Kelly in Bailey's pub in Dublin .
Worse version has to be Van Morrison.
True
You should hear my version, it’s trash
Simply beautiful, this version of the song!!
A lovely gentle presentation to go with a very sad song sensitively sang with respect
Just found this Great Video tonight. July 22/22. WOW, 1 of my Favs-Raglan Road. Brilliant.!
Beautiful & painful..my folks came from Ireland they were crazy but sooo funny.
Incredibly beautiful words. Video a stunning tribute to Patrick Kavanagh and Dublin. Great singer, but I think a lamenting male voice would have been more profound. Thank you for this lovely moment in time
EXCITING NEW INFORMATION FOR ME. THANK YOU. ALONG WITH PHOTO OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND ALL TOO COMMON TRAGIC SADNESS OF A WOMAN NOT UNDERSTANDING OR AN IN ABILITY TO ACCEPT AND EMBRACE A TRUE AND PERFECT LOVE❤️🇮🇪🎵HAPPPPY ST PADDY DAY TO ALL TOMMOROW MARCH 17 2021 BUT PARTICULARLY TO ALL THOSE CENTRAL TO THE STORY OF THE GREAT 🇮🇪❤️🎵 RAGLAN ROAD Jack 🇮🇪
Beautiful.
I loved every second of this video. Thank you so much for sharing it.
This is a great beauty story! I'm so grateful for that video. Thank you so much!
a beautiful version of this beautiful song. I like it very much. There are of course many versions, but this is very nice, I like it.
Luke Kelly made this song so great because he recognized that it was a Literary Giant that was asking him to record it, and he may also have been mindful of Kavanaghs savage wit, or sarcasm, from when Kavanagh interviewed Ronnie Drew who had gotten a show on Telefis Eireann as it was then, now RTE, when Kavanagh asked Ronnie was he a good guitarist, Ronnie in Modesty said he was not, when Kavanagh asked him was he a good singer again Ronnie in Modesty, or perhaps truthfully said he was not a great singer. Kavanagh wrote in his Column that "Ronnie Drew, by his own admission can neither Sing or Play the Guitar, and he is still getting his own show on Telefis Eireann". I would like to think that if Kavanagh ever wanted a Female Vocalist to record it ,he would have looked no further than one of the greatest female Vocalists and Songsmiths to ever come out of Ireland, Sinead O Connor, who has recorded a beautifully haunting interpretation of it. as have many others. And indeed Sinead and Ronnie Drew did Duet on "I,ve got a couple more years on ya baby, thats all."

I think it was Elaneor Shanley who dueted with Ronnie.
Beautiful i could listen to this all day
There won't be many non-Dubs that know "The Enchanted Way" is a lane near Raglan road.
Thanks for taking the trouble to explain the meaning of those delightful couple of words .
From now on they will mean so much more , every time a hear them sung in the future .
Lived many years in Cork, saw the relics of poverty in the abandoned ruined cottages.....some with even bed and clothes left behind.....saw the poverty of spirit, infinite sadness....felt it too.
My great grandfather lived on north circler road limerick and my grandmother his father said they had a fling
Wow
Beautiful singer
Thanks for sharing..
at 37 secs. A picture of... James Joyce statue. Will people think it's Patrick Kavanagh .
Should have played luke Kelly's version
Nah....i don't agree that it was suited to him.
Why don't you just google it and play it to yourself
im having a bit of trouble understand what he says, can someone help me thanks
Does anyone know the chords to this version?
Wow I never knew the story behind it... So poignant..
Was O'Malley the Minister of Education for a while?
He was the Minister for Miseducation for too long. RIP.
Yes, Donogh O'Malley was the Irish minister of education and probably one of the most intelligent, hard-working and definitely the most consequential person ever to hold that position. When he took up the job, only one third of Irish kids stayed in school beyond the age of 14; but O'Malley introduced free secondary education and school transport for children in rural districts, and thus laid the foundation for the very high standard of education among Irish people, and ultimately the success of the Celtic Tiger. He faced strong resistance to these measures, but with his force of personality and his disgust at poverty from lack of education and opportunity, he was able to push them through. Apart from that he was an accomplished sportsman, winning medals in rugby, swimming and soccer, he was also affable, a famous wit, generous, compassionate and an all-round great personality.
In fact, he was practically everything that the bitter, conceited and mean-spirited Kavanagh was not (apart from the fact that both were alcoholics for a time) ; and a lot of what is written here about the relationship between this lady and Kavanagh is rot. The last few verses of this song/poem, if people were to take the trouble to listen to them instead of being seduced by the beautiful old melody, show the kind of character Kavanagh was and, ultimately, the lack of respect he had for this woman, who was for him only an unwilling muse that he needed for his writing. But she was bright enough never to take him seriously as a man.
The ROI's education system is in a right mess these days. @@Bulshie

Don't be a gomie
Why not sing the song from the beginning to the end as it was written. This does not tell the story properly.
Made me cry 😢 That’s not good 😔
Some say this song should be sung by a man. This is a nice version though
You sure it's not about an inappropriate relationship between a man and an underage girl? Ex. Pedophilia
Why where you there too witness her age.
@@garrettwhite1695 listen to the lyrics. It's quite obvious
GET over your self I taught a Pedo was someone who has sex with an underage child. So where in that poem does Patrick kavanagh say he had a sex with an underage girl so take the cloth out of your ears and you listen.

@@emmetbannon did it say in the song she was 22?
Love the commentary, but this rendition is all wrong. Too rollicking and upbeat. the song is mournful. The Dubliner did it much better.
