Amazing. I grew up in the same town as Luka and his brother Christy Moore. Newbridge. By the Liffey River. And I lived in Canada so this song is meaningful to me.
THE most underrated musical artist I've ever heard, this man is such a great talent, I really wished he had got more notoriety over the years, well Luka, this lifelong musical fan considers you one of the very best of all time !
Ian a blocked writer and i met the i was in my rags and all the mostly woman in their glory I spoke to him after walking through his door and asked him to take my writing on he said yes I didn't have the poetry with me he gave me his management co phone number I was so over the moon but my diaries poetry dream paintings and everything else was taken from me I was heartbroken I am irish born in Britain this was worse than an Ann Frank as the writing from the heavens that was pouring down on was when I lost a job cry sure did where Abbey road studio and inspiring me I lost again woke up god said wake up princess and that was when I wrote flowing no was like a monsoon for years more than 20 years worth of diaries poetry dream painting but I'll never forget that moment when at the jazz cafe in London Camden I met this great fellow
This song is a Father's day tradition for me, since I first heard it the first Father's day after my dad passed away after suffering from Alzheimer's disease. God bless you, dad, I miss you!
Oh my God in Heaven above. Luka is a wonderful man. When I workrd on the editing of Jacob's Ladder in the early 90's, I got to hang out with Luka Bloom in Los Angeles.
I first heard Luka on an obscure tape I borrowed from my local library (yes I am that old now) and remember thinking why the hell haven't I heard this guy before, he's fantastic.
This song saved my life and still i don't know why. Luka (Barry) also doesn't know. Maybe he will because he made this song. (He doesn't know me. I met him a few days ago in The Netherlands, Gouda Schouwburg where i was with my girlfriend, and I asked him about his (DADGAD) guitartuning and the dvd "The Man is Alive" and he took time for me to answer). I recommend Luka Bloom to everyone. Elton
Wow i didnt know that this was christie moores brother thanks for that peice of info it so makes sense . Love love love this song and love chistie and luka xxxx
Haven't seen my father in 12 years. We don't even talk. It feels like I lost him already. But he is still alive.i have tried so hard to mend bridges but he want butch. So many years lost and wasted. I have forgiven him for what he did.stuborn old bastard!
Jay the tuning is D G D G B D. It took a few listens to get it down, but I'd love some legit tablature to this and not people guessing what it'd be in D A D G A D tuning.
I've met this man and seen him live on several occasions....he's a gent and a fantastic artist.
I’m still sad that I had to miss his show in NC back in the early 90’s! Thanks for this video!

Very much agreed, brother
Alexi Murdoch is another
He has had some great fame with people who actually understand music , he has done very well for himself and he deserved it

Christy got the fame but Luka had the talent, and the true patriotism.

Beautiful Luka, reminds me of my Dad RIP Magnificent lyric and guitar work, soo talented.☺️
I came aware of Luka through an acoustic guitar magazine. So unique! Seen him play at concert in Vancouver Canada.
The gift Luka was given has been repaid to us ten fold.
Indeed...
Thanks as I miss my Dad so very much as He's been gone since 1976. Thanks for such a Beautiful Song and Memory
Spiritual...beautiful and resonant. Everyone should listen to this
Mijn broer is op dezelfde dag als Barry geboren. Hij is helaas vandaag overleden. Luka Bloom. We know your music so well. We love you. For ever.
Amazing musician. Amazing song writer. Amazing singer.
I first heard Luka on an obscure tape I borrowed from my local library (yes I am that old now) and remember thinking why the hell haven't I heard this guy before, he's fantastic.
Still makes a man cry. A classic and very Freudian. ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘
This is a strong sensetive song. His old songs are very good. Love to see him live.
I was there. Helix september 2005, What an evening, what a songs...Robert
A privilege, listening to the works of Luka Bloom....
This song saved my life and still i don't know why. Luka (Barry) also doesn't know. Maybe he will because he made this song. (He doesn't know me.

fantastic lyrics
+matthew pickles I agree. Luka is great. special live.
WOW!!!
The Bogman, sings his heart out
WOW
Cool

Does anyone know what tuning this guitar is in? Is it DADGAD?
Edit; what's not to love about this ; brilliant lyric, melody and fantastic guitar work.
Jay the tuning is D G D G B D. It took a few listens to get it down, but I'd love some legit tablature to this and not people guessing what it'd be in D A D G A D tuning.
Ok thanks i'll give that a try Paul.
Tablature is only an opinion in itself - best to work things out for yourself :)
Paul Mahady Complex chords but what a guy huh? 🇮🇪🍀
@@Mahadness I found this ...ua-cam.com/video/FIlP90-dZuA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
MOI...
Ахуенный вокал!
a passion for his work/singing i have seen with very few artists, Jacques Brel is one of them
YES! True!
