So I'm sitting here on Christmas Eve and I miss them all. What a stupid feeling: nostalgia. Obviously I'm not the only one in the world who still feels this way. Tell me I'm right.

Seeing Kirsty's smile at the three minute mark and then the crowd singing along with her will always bring a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful moment. RIP Kirsty and Shane.
+Carol o'byrne You are lucky to have experienced that live ... I loved Kirsty since A New England, sadly I didn't get the chance to ever see her performing live ... and this song has been my most favourite Christmas song ever!
Wouldnt it be an absolutely fitting tribute to Shane & Kirsty if they re issued this song for Christmas this year? A sure number ONE hit! The profits to go to a homeless charity or under privileged kids A TRUE CLASSIC PEACE & GOODWILL TO EVERYONE LOVE 🇬🇧👧
Just as a sad aside but one that many people should be aware of: The wonderful Kirsty MacColl must certainly today be an Angel for what she did in December 2000: While vacationing in Mexico & diving/swimming in a restricted area (for boats) MacColl saw a speeding boat come towards her sons before her sons did; while 13-year old Louis was not in the boat's path Kirsty saw that her 15-year old Jamie was in its path. Kirsty's quick thinking & instincts resulted in her successfully pushing Jamie out of the way of the speeding boat -- but, Kirsty was struck and killed. She saved her son's life. It's what a mother does. I always admired Kirsty for that tragic bravery...I know I won't forget her.
I knew Kristy had passed, but I wasn't aware that it was in so tragic a manner. I will always love her "He's On The Beach". I joined the Navy in '79 for the explicit purpose of seeing Australia. The Navy, however, had different plans. Consequently, I didn't get there until 2005!!! But when I did get there, as I headed from the airport in Brisbane to the place where I was staying, I was blasting "He's On The Beach" on my mp3. Thanks Kristy, you're the best!
His face @2:48 Kirsty had bad stage fright throughout her career and Shane asking mid-way through the song "Not going too bad huh"? It's a lovely little moment.
My daughter was born on December 25 in Spain, the same day as Shaun. This song shows that music is a universal language. When I listen to it I feel completely happy. May God keep Shane for many years and take care of Kirsty like an angel.
listening to this today ... I can feel a lump in my throat ..i feel the sorrow of loosing this artist.. RIP Shane .. you gifted us this absolute beauty .
@@TheVeek192 there's always that one asshole that has to ruin everything by being an overtechnical salty bitch. I doubt OP was being serious. Opinion is ALWAYS implied when someone says something is the best, unless they're fucking mentally ill. It's called "hyperbole" you fucking twit.
I remember hearing this beautiful song the first time many years ago at the old Harp and Shamrock in Chicago.. It was a winter night and it was snowing at the time and I was downing several Guinness just looking out the bar window and thinking how perfect that moment was..RIP. Shane and Kirsty..thanks for the memories
I'm Italian & I live in Galway for the past 25 years. Love Ireland, the Irish, Galway and off course the Pogues, Gary Moore, Dolores O'Riordan, Rory Callagher, etc. etc... GOD Bless everyone & have a Great Christmas & amazing New Year !!! Amen * 😀
Kirsty McCall was so special and hugely underrated imo.. I miss her. May both RIP and carry on creating and performing in some parallel universe. Loved the both
Doesn't matter that it's in the middle of the summer. I can still watch this. And I get goose bumps ALL OVER, and they don't go away for the whole song. That's what this does to me. Amazing performance and the best xmas song of all time.

There are not many songs where every time you listen to it, it feels like the first time. This and 'Whole of the Moon' are two that I can listen to over and over again without ever being bored.
@@Tigerland1962 He grew up in Tipperarey eight miles from where I live, he was almost a teenager when they emigrated, and they were back most Christmases (Shane still is, his family moved home before). They were not a wealthy family, so if they got him to a good school in England then fair play to them, but he is very much Irish, and has relatives from nowhere else.

Beautiful 🥺 The lyrics, the tune, the way it is sung is just perfect. Shane McGowan is nothing short of a genius by writing this song. He also found the perfect person to duet with in Kirsty McColl. This was a once in a lifetime event that can never be replicated... Best christmas song of all time 🥺🥺🥺
Christmas number 1 God Rest His Soul - the ugliest man to look at, in the world RIP Shane 🙏 🥰😍 Born Christmas Day, died St Andrew's Day. 🏴 I'm grateful to have heard you, in my life 😍
This song is one of the great unknowns of popular music It has spent more time in the British music charts than any other song. Voted this year...the most popular Cristmas song of all time. God bless.... thank you Kirsty RIP.
Heard it on the radio the other day while polishing concrete floors. On Swedish radio mind you. But I fell directly for it and added it to my Christmas list. Pce from Sweden
I just love this performance - it brought back so many happy memories - remembering those great nights out - the Town & Country venue in Kentish Town - those insane nights in Brixton Academy - now the tears are rolling down my face for I was truly blessed to have experienced those wonderful moments.
Who's here for yet another Christmas in 2024 - RIP Shane and Kirsty - you left us magic!!
Toronto Canada
They did indeed leave us magic❤ the most enchanting Christmas song ever
I am Here, r.i.p. kristy and Shane. You will be missed
Reno!

This song will hit very differently this Christmas now that both Shane and Kirsty are no longer with us.
And on stage Daryl Hunt, and Philip Chevron as well. Very sad but they are performing again together.
Ik, this is in a way a childhood song because I have heard this song on Christmas every year I've been alive
😢❤
Gone but never forgotten. R.I.P🙏🩷😇
The woke brigade will offend everyone and take out the word faggot
still listening to Kirsty and Shane in 2024❤❤, rip both of you🖤🖤
So sad Kirsty got her head chopped of from a billionaire so sad brilliant person and Shane x
If they are not ROCK N ROLL I quit Song is so haunting and beautiful.
Rest in peace, Shane. The world won't ever see a talent like yours ever again.
Thank you r.i.p.😅
He's like a tonedeaf drunk grunting. Pretty sure there are plenty of them.
Very True thorny 🌹 Rose millions of them

It's my best Chrismas song ever.I really miss you.
you can always join them if you want
Very few songs are instantly timeless. This is one of them. RIP Kristy and Shane.
R.I.P. KIRSTY. STILL THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS SONG OF ALL TIME.

Well said.

Yes.
Got it
Thirty plus years later, this is still the Pogues (and Kirsty's) best know song. And to be brutally honest, I never tire of hearing this!
This is my first Christmas song I listen to every year and also through the year it is a absolute classic ❤
This and streets of London are ethernal christmas hits, because of the message.
who is still listening to this song in 2020 still christmas no.1 song in 2020

Ryan Beatty me love this song it is my favourite Christmas song 🎄🎄🎄

I was in the audience that night. Fantastic experience. Oh Kirsty how you are missed.
+Carol o'byrne You are lucky to have experienced that live ... I loved Kirsty since A New England, sadly I didn't get the chance to ever see her performing live ... and this song has been my most favourite Christmas song ever!

Did she kill herself?
Johnny Guitar no she was killed in a boat accident
Wouldnt it be an absolutely fitting tribute to Shane & Kirsty if they re issued this song for Christmas this year?
A sure number ONE hit!
The profits to go to a homeless charity or under privileged kids
A TRUE CLASSIC
PEACE & GOODWILL TO EVERYONE

Hands down the greatest Christmas song, hardcore reality with a romantic side, God love the Irish and there song writing
Not just christmas song, one of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion.

THE best Christmas song there will ever be
December 25th 2024, Merry Christmas Everyone!
Farewell to Shane MacGowan. He earned his unique place in the pantheon of great Irish writers.
To misquote Brendan Behan (another alcoholic genius), Shane McGowan was a drinker with a singing problem.
@smhorse he was a brilliant Irish poet, with a unique and excellent voice, RIP shane 🇮🇪 ❤
And the bells are ringing out for shane today. Bless him 😢. Rest in paradise Shane 💕
Breaks my heart every time when Kirsty dances with Shane. Such a beautiful lady, killed so young :(
And died so heroically! 😪
Look for the footage of him dancing with his dear old mum
Thanks Shane and Kirsty. You are both missed and loved.
❤️Thank you Shane, thank you Kirsty, thank you The Pogues, thank you audience🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟❤️❤️❤️
My daughter was born on December 25 in Spain, the same day as Shaun. This song shows that music is a universal language. When I listen to it I feel completely happy. May God keep Shane for many years and take care of Kirsty like an angel.
listening to this today ... I can feel a lump in my throat ..i feel the sorrow of loosing this artist.. RIP Shane .. you gifted us this absolute beauty .
Still mourning the loss of Kirsty 24 years after she was taken from us. Rest in peace, dear Kirsty, dear Shane. Happy Christmas, everyone.

Never forget her and how she died! A lot of her singer collegues asked to investigate the circumstances of her dead.

HEAVEN IS ENJOYIN' THE TUNE AS THESE TWO ANGELS ARE REUNITED!!! ✌❤
A magical Christmas song. God bless Kirsty and Shane.
The best Christmas song ever? Yep.
best song ever, full stop
In YOUR opinion. You know that, right? That what you like isn't the measuring stick of the universe?
Nope, Darlen Love's Christmas (Baby Please come home) is the best followed by Tim Minchin's White Wine in the Sun.
Then this
Stiffkittens nope. This is the best xmas song ever and it’s not even close

I remember hearing the news saying how she had died in Mexico
I couldn't believe it.
She was an amazing artist like Shane
Two Beautiful souls. This song breaks my Heart.🙏🙏❤️
GOD I LOVE THIS SONG.... A LEGACY FOR EVER AND EVER.... SADLY MISSED BOTH OF THEM.....
R.i.P Shane, it's so damn sad! Say hello to Kirsty up there and play, sing and dance this wonderful Christmas song with her again!
So sad both have passed on. Let’s hope this gets to number one in the charts
Rest in Peace to a complete original. Feeling proud to be Irish
Surely no doubt now that this is the best Christmas song ever recorded? RIP Kirsty and Shane.
This song is almost too sad to listen to now. Such a great lyricist. RIP Shane. Thank you for all the great songs.
