- This is one of the best version's of the fields of athenry i have heard it's from the movie Veronica Guerin i have added some pic's from the movie and there's a couple of photo's of the real Veronica. R.I.P You will alway's be remembered
Veronica Guerin was shot dead by irish drug dealer's On June 26, 1996, while Guerin was sitting in her red Opel Calibra at an intersection on the Naas Dual Carriageway, a few miles outside Dublin, one of two men sitting on a motorcycle beside her car fatally shot her five times. Guerin's murder caused outrage, and Taoiseach John Bruton called it "an attack on democracy". The following criminal investigation led to over 150 arrests and a hunt against Irish organised criminal gangs.
I’m from Northern Ireland and far from Irish. When I watched this film and this little nipper sang this song at the end, nothing but goosebumps !
that child is a the best singer of that song ever
Yes, that song requires a certain raw emotion and down-to-earthness which very few singers have. And I thought the instrumental arrangement for this film was very moving and inspiring
Do we know the singer - the child - this version -I want to download this song
@@Tdreaddy singers name?
@@Cheese2life he's name is Brian odonnell a traveller from dublin
Absolutely!! I cry every time I hear this version!!!
The very best version of Fields of Athenry I've ever heard, and believe me I've heard them all, this arrangement is outstanding, and the Childs little voice, well, say no more!!!
The greatest weapon against the Irish drug dealers was a mother and her pen. A great woman.
Yes
And God bless
Veronica Guerin was a friend of my Uncle's and a parishioner at his Church. He said the Mass at her funeral. He passed away last week at an early age, I'm stuck in Atlanta without a passport and didn't make it back home for his funeral !. I love you Uncle Declan you will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in Peace !
kevin gorman why are you talking about your uncle fake
kevin gorman I’m so sorry for your loss brother.
kevin gorman prayers from your Hibernian brother in Ohio.
@Kevin gorman- Don't know if your statement is true but if so, how did you feel about Blanchett's portrayal?
@@judepierse2883 you gonna be like that then jog on would u like it if someone said it was fake if ur uncle died
If this song doesn't break your heart whenever you hear it, you can't have one in your chest worth breaking. An amazing rendition.
Cate Blanchett(An Australian) played the part of Veronica Guerin brillianty and her Dublin Accent was spot on. R.I.P Veronica, The people who killed you will eventually have to answer to The Man Upstairs
Have commented before. Remember when I saw this film and the child's voice gave me chills, still does. This is the best, most heartfelt version I've ever heard, RIP Veronica Guerin and her family, what a brave woman!
I just stumbled upon this film, and it touched me dearly. The fact that anyone would speak negative about this situation, or this woman, is ridiculous. If one doesn't fight for what they believe in, and stand for a better life for all, then why bother? She didn't die a marter, she died a reporter, believing in her job, and herself, and her country. If only there were people like her in the U.S., maybe we'd be a better country! Blessings to her family!!! And the ladd singing as well.
I have heard this being sung by tens of thousands of football fans at Anfield stadium in Liverpool as I have passed by.
I knew it was an Irish song because virtually every family in Liverpool has some Irish parent, grandparents, great grandparents, Gt Gt grandparents, in laws, etc. The city is almost part of Ireland because it is so close to Dublin and the East coast of Ireland and even the local accent is supposed to be a mix of the various Irish accents and the local Lancashire/North West England accent. It sounds completely different to cities and towns a few dozen miles away from Liverpool (Manchester has a different accent from both Liverpool and the surrounding industrial towns and cities in Lancashire and West Yorkshire etc, but the Manchester accent sometimes sounds a lot like the scouse accent, probably because hundreds of thousands of Irish immigrants have settled in Manchester since the mid 19th century onwards, and they have influenced the local Mancunian dialect over the generations.
Great song....I'm a unionist and loyalist....and I can appreciate this song in all its versions....also....Veronica was a very brave woman,some may say foolish.....
yes fool
This was a street kid they found at the time of making this fantastic movie. Veronica Guerin was the BEST!! RIP Brave One ❤❤❤
That's correct. He used to sing on Grafton St. Then this movie was made and they asked him to record for a few days. I don't know the guys name, but I really hope he's done well for himself. He was really nice when I met him, I walked that street for 4 years going to School. Great Song, and Sadly, John G is out and trying to live a life, never mind the many he took through drugs. But fuck, that's our Justice system..
that boy is Brian o'donnell my uncle he's very well he has 4 kids
yup Brian O Donnell
@@johnjoyce772 really?... His voice gives me goosebumps the best version of the song by far 🇮🇪
in my whole lifetime this is the one of the most bravest woman of ever heard of
It was only a film mate.
She obviously wasn't a real person..
@@kingston2411 I hope you’re joking
@Kingston I take you are not from Ireland them because course she is real she is woman that stood up to lot dangerous people but in the end lost her life for it
this song is singed by a kid, found by the movie producers during the filmation, while walking on the street; this was a kid that singed for money, and they felt in love with his voice, and invited (and payed) him to sing for the movie; you can read about this in the IMDB site, searching for the page, and looking at the movie trivia.
I'm irish and this child makes me feel proud to be :)
the boy singing is brian odonnell he lives in rathcoole dublin hes married and is strung out on drugs now himself he was in dublin singing this song and the producer recorded him for the movie hes 2 brothers are in jail now for selling drugs and his two brothers anthony and john are dead r.i.p boys
nicole mcdonagh what a lie
this is the most haunting version of this song that I have ever heard...a truly fitting memorial for this remarkable woman.
I'm ex British Army and this is a lovely song by a kid with a voice of an angel .
my dad was British Forces too and we lived there during the troubles. It was horrible watching the news and wondering if dad would make it home that day, my school mates asked what he did, to him he was a plumber.
PS my dad was Royal Signals.

The best version of this song 👌🏼
this version chokes up me up even more than usual
Luv this Song. I watched the Movie, And had to look up this song.
It wss Brian O'Donnell that sang the song and I believe he was a tinker's son. My mom is a retired opera singer and we both agree that his untrained voice is extraordinary. Straight from the heart.
I like this version, it's sad and hopeful at the same time. Different from hearing the other artists sing it. This one somehow holds more meaning to it.
From Hungary. It is the 1000's time I listen to this. Only childish anger can bring us love.
The little boy singer is great his singing with heart no instruments required. I know it's a powerful song for the Irish. We saw the movie in a remote town in South Australia we we're all sober , not a dry eye in the room. R. I. P Veronica. Australia
i have watched the film over and over brave woman but unfortunately there are more drugs and dealers now than there was back then .......rip veronica
I remember my mum watching this and thos version has jist stuck with me .💚
i think the child sang it beautiful, after all it was only a child.
Christine R. The child that sang this song was singing it on the streets of Dublin City busking away. That's how he was discovered. Someone from the production crew of the film spent months trying to find him to sing it for the film. That's a fact.
+Kevin Finegan that's right this boy singing is my cousin Brian he's about 29 now
Brian Mcdonagh 29??? Fucking hell. He's just a young fella singing this. The years just fly by.
+Brian Mcdonagh How is he doing now? I always remembered this version of the song, passed the buskers in Dublin many a time, always wondered did I pass this young soul.. Hope he is doing well?
@Kevin Finegan-I read about him and the crew trying to find him to sing it as well as the Director trying, that was a great story and a great movie RIP Veronica Guerin
Beautiful Song !!!
great song !! cheers from North- Italy
Beautiful song..brings a lump to my throat everytime
I can imagine you either love or hate the boys sound. For me it's the combination and contrast with the strings that makes this song so beautiful. Also the impact of the movie helps. Irish style music is the most emotional in the world, at least to me.
If you listen to this and don’t get goosebumps constantly then I don’t know what to tell you..
This gives me goosebumps
Who the fuck disliked this?!?!?!?!!? What is ur problem?!?!?!
I was No.1000 to Thumbs Up this song.
I love this version.
this boy is class!
who is it singing?
My upmost respect goes out to veronica she was a absolute legend.
x
beautyfull song and an awesome movie
Just divine song. Sad, but divine
i love this song and it is by far my favourite version of the fields of athenry ann i think it went perfect in the movie
Why isn't this on spotify it's so great 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪✝️✝️✝️✝️
beautiful song
You can download the song from limewire. and so on
I love this young man's rendition of this song.
Perfection, this song, the woman herself, the movie, and hope Ireland has truly stopped these absolute scumbags from existing. To Veronica’s son, you suffered the biggest loss please know we all around the world have benefited from her sacrifice and her bravery. What a beautiful brilliant mum you had.
the best version of this song. NOTHING else can compare.
Veronica Guerin a fearless human being.RESPECT!!!!
When I first saw this movie in the theatre in Toronto, I did not know who Cate Blanchett was & I said to my Canadian wife: "Who is this new Dub actress, she's brilliant?" OK, so I am not a moviaphile. Anyway, Cate should have been Oscar nominated for that role - she convinced me, a Dub, that she was a real Dub (way better than Colin Farrell with his Castleknock accent trying to be a real Dub!).
Dub ??
bishdiane dub short for dublin
Feel more proud to be Irish whenever I hear this song 🇮🇪☘❤ fair play to that kid 👏 and R.I.P Veronica 💚
@@lorcankerry2110 cheers for correcting me i never minded it tbh went back and edit it...cheers lad
@@lorcankerry2110 why delete just the matter of editing it its ok now 👌
I have told the story about this young knacker on other postings. Actually, he would'nt be a young kid any more. Obviously he would have grown a lot taller by now. He received 500 Euro from the Producers of the movie for singing this song. It was a steal because if he had proper legal representation, he would have received 1 Euro for each time the movie was shown. The Movie was a blockbuster. Do the Math, 1 Euro for each time the movie was shown World wide. it is even on TV these days.
Such a sad song and even more of a sad story. I loved the movie and respect Veronica Guerin for her brave work. RIP.......
just watched it again...so amazing!
This American couldn't agree with you more. God Bless Ireland.
"All souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine"
this is a great film and it makes me think big time when this song starts as it is a very powerfull song and i love this one by this girl and also the LFC version.
Veronica...i will always remember you!
rest in peace dear lady
The last true journalist in this country. Fantastic lady
RIP. Veronica Guerin📿🕯
Best version of this song,the young boy's voice is haunting... Beautiful song for a beautiful & courageous woman!😔💭

the singer was a young traveler that use to sing near the top of o connel street you'd hear him from miles away excellent singer
God bless her for the hard work that she done
Brillant Song, Beautiful Version..
Proud to be Irish!!
@shnitzel189 Se she should have stopped and gave in to the drug barons and the filth that caused the deaths of so many young people. She knew what she was doing, she gave her life to save others. She deserves our eternal thanks.
Makes me so proud to be an Irishwoman. She is my inspiration.
She was a real crime reporter unlike Paul Williams ,Veronica wrote the story , Williams published big pics of gangsters he's part of the problem , I've been in shops and young teens coming in quick get the paper Williams will have the pics. And when he confronted John Gilligan he did that because he has Garda protection ,he hadn't the balls to confront him when he was dealing . Veronica Guerin R.I.P you will always be remembered
This song is called The Fields of Athenry.
Written by Pete St John
GOD REST HER IN YOUR ARMS

This is seriously the best movie ever!!
RIP Veronica
Gone but never forgotten
x-o-x
Gives me goosebumps! Beautiful
This film is so powerful and this song is haunting as you realise Veroncia Guerin has been killed but left such a powerful legacy such a inspirational woman R I P 💚💚💚💚
Beautiful Thanks ❤️💪🏻🇮🇪👍🏻☘️☘️☘️
So sad and tragic story...And this touching little boy's voice tears my heart further into pieces...R.I.P. brave daughter of Ireland...
Drugs are a blight on our society, some see an easy money maker without any consequences, others have to deal with those consequences and try to do something about it.
The outcome remains the same, people get hurt in some way shape or form, but the battle continues and it begs the question....why do people take up drugs, are they looking for something? Are we too preoccupied with what looks good so there's no real substance to our lives and family units?
Powerful song when put with this film
A lovely song in rememberance of a brave brave woman. Victoria I salute you.
Amazing version. Amazing woman RIP
r.i.p veronica guerin :) may god bless u
i love this version! the movie of veronica guerin is sooo sad! R.I.P VERONICA x
@cameramanAL hmmmm, I see your point about the individual rebelling against a structure of powerful and cruel people.
Yea me too, The Fields Of Athenry is the most heartening song I have ever, or will ever hear!
The singer was from a travelling family. Personally I think the fact that this bairn was from a race often ostracised, often victimised summed up exactly what Veronica was about.
She lived her life to save bairns like the singer in the song. That's why his inclusion is so important.
very moving version of a lovely song
Not many people have the courage and convinction that his brave woman had. I guess her path was to be a short one but it made so many changes her mission was completed.
Unfortunately her mission was not completed, but her bravery gave many others the courage to carry the torch forward. Great girl, may she rest in peace.
Only watched this end of 2009. Think this raw and unaccompianed voice echoes the end of Veronica Guerlin. My interpretation. Have read other comments, am not from Ulster nor Eire.
great version of the song, anyone know the name of the lad singing it
@padraigdonohoe
There used to be an intersection located there at Clondalkin. We passed by the car, covered in a green tarpaulin, on that day. We only found out later who it was and what had happened.
A brave woman.
I think that every journalist should be required to see this movie and understand that it is this type of devotion and commitment to your occupation that makes the profession meaningful. This is a woman that used her position to help change her country for the better.
So many journalist or so called, care less about morals or humanity. it is all about themselves.
We all suffer the effects of evil in this world. Few can do much about it.
As a people we rely on brave individuals to expose and help bring to justice those who make our world so miserable.
I lost 3 young nephews to drugs and it touches me that someone cared about the problem as much as to risk and give her life for the cause to stop it.
God bless, Veronica, soldiers get V.C.'s for what you done, lass!
