- Over 120 voices came together today as a #Flashmob in Heuston railway station Dublin, Ireland for World Suicide Prevention Day - 10 September 2018 “Working together to prevent suicide”. All were brought together by Music Director Andrius Kozlovskis.
The man playing guitar on the left side was my father, Martin O'Hara. Shortly after this event he was diagnosed with cancer, and very recently after a long hard battle, dad has passed away. So this was one of dads final performances. It meant the world to him that people took the time out of their day to slow down and listen. It also meant the world to him when I told him how many of you people online have resonated with this moment. To slow down that day and stop to listen to those performers and singers was an effortless decision for any passers-by, but it meant a great deal more to him and I, it really was an honour. And dad died with that pride and peace that you gave him, so on his behalf, thank you so much for listening.
Mythic It sounds like your Dad was a helluva guy. I lost my Dad just a little over a year ago. He passed away on Feb.15,2019. If we could only go back and tell them how much we love them just one more time. And now sadly I have lost my Mom as well. She passed away May 28,2021. How I wish that I had just a little more time with Mom and Dad there is so much I would like to talk to them about and now I can't.
My condolences, hope you're doing well right now! May he rest in peace and he will undoubtedly, for making so many people happy.
My condolences Mythic on the loss of your beloved dad.
So so much love to your dad... he must have been a magical man to turn our hearts so much... he is definitely an angel now.. Wish he was here
Your dad is hosting a concert up beside the big man upstairs. RIP to your dad
*Wish I was there
Yeah me too!
@@juliemanarin4127 yes it amazing
Me to From Canada
Same
Me too X
I’m not embarrassed to say I cried.
you're not alone
It was my and my Son's favorite song. It's been six years since I've heard from him. I love and miss you, Jon.
I want to live where the whole group of people all know the lyrics to Pink Floyd songs.
Best comment of all
It's funny how flash mobs all know the same dance moves as well 🤣
Pretty much anywhere
Its called Galway!!

When you recognize the guitar and sing along all the words in unison with a hundred other people in the middle of a train station. That’s when you know the song is timeless and it will live on forever.
Generations were spanned in the video alone, not to mention the online views. It feels magical when something like this happens spontaneously and it's usually a Pink Floyd song that pulls us all in (although once it happened with the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" and it was no less magical)
@@hattifnatter300 read the video description
It's timeless
@@westerling8436, I've read it already. I'm not sure what you think I've missed.
@@hattifnatter300 read it again
9 years ago, I lost my baby sister. We would have found the nearest stadium and broke in just to hear the harmony of the vocals from the "average people". Don't ever think that because you're not the very best at something that you're not still a part of something amazing. If you doubt it, listen to the vocals from this crowd, it's amazing. Remember, you're always valued and always loved. And you're never alone, no matter how dark things seem, how bad you think things are or how much you think you won't be missed. I have a patch of skin that will prove you wrong. You are important, you are special, you are worth it, you are loved and we want you to be here.
I know that trusting people is the hard part of opening up and looking for counseling, I'm a survivor too (even if I didn't want to be). But keep fighting to find someone you can talk to, they ARE out there, there are people that will listen. You don't have to go throught this alone.
One last thing: I love you.
God what a beautiful thing hundreds of people singing Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here... I wish I was there! 🙏🏻❤️
I wish he was here, Jesus♥
@@jm1979mx what ever.
PF wishes they were there, too. 😢
@brettscott8288 yeah they do!
@@matthewstearns289 don't disrespectful our religion
I bet, human race will still be listening to Pink Floyd 100 years from now...
@@djknox2 10000
Wine and pink floyd has something in common. They both age well by time.
@@djknox2 hahaha not that much
Sure they would, but I'm quickly losing faith that the human race will still exist as we know it in 100 years (if at all). People are losing their minds. We might all really be plugged into the Matrix under some awful global government.
Sure HOPE your right!!!!
I’m not crying, you are
Grendel Sloth ....damn onions.
Nah, it must be raining real hard...
Guilty. Totally bawwing.
It's just raining on my face..
Liar
RIP Martin! You made this day beautiful for all these people.
I never fail to choke up when I hear this song, but hearing a whole crowd of "just plain folks" who know the lyrics and join in put me over the top. Reading the comment from Mythic about Martin O'Hara added profusely to the meaningfulness of the event.
Well put..
really puts into perspective how precious this life we have truly is.
If you wanna choke-up again, look at Hearts version of Stairway at the "Kennedy Center Awards".
I kinda hear organized harmonies
@@eamonnclabby7067😮😮
This is why Pink Floyd are Gods.
Long live the music of FLOYD
ENGLISH GODS
At least PF are real people, not fantasy figures like all the other "gods".
Is it safe to say that Gods are in actuality, Pink Floyd?
No the Irish are Gods,just sayin,
Why was this in my recommended? Oh, because it's f*ing brilliant. That's why. Well done, beautifully performed.
Yes! Well put!
I was asking myself the same question, ty for the perfect, spot on answer!
R. I. P. Mythics Dad...
Goosebumps 👍🏼💁♀️💕
Being a Pink Floyd fan, I absolutely love this!
Have you heard Sinead O'Connor sing Mother with Roger and The Band?
So nice to see everyone come together.......what we need more of now!!!!
This is wat happens when politicians aren't involved....💪😎🍺🇳🇿
Over 150 people singing for over 150 reasons.
We need more days like this. Everyone singing together.
Hear, hear.
After COVID tho.
Yes we do! In harmony with each other 🥰
As long as it’s Pink Floyd
We do have more days like this, it just doesn't make the news. There is more of this x
Music. International, universal language. People stop to enjoy the moment. At peace with each other, with the world.
Thank you people in Dublin! Just getting up, here in the USA this morning and hearing strangers together singing makes my day,!
Imagine hearing a song so iconic to you that it can make you think back to those years that you lived your best life at. This what these old peeps must think while singing this song with one hundred other voices.
So deep man, you're freaking right
I'm an old peep that has travelled with that song for 40 years now. The only thing you got wrong is that my best life is still to come.
adandap Sorry it’s probably just that I’m 14 years old
LolTroller #1 Hey, no problem. I was 14 once and I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. (Stole that from Bob Dylan :)
@@adandap what you say is very inspiring
Are we gonna deny that we sang with them and had teary eyes too?
Nope 👎 I’m man enough to admit I sang and have a heart👍🤟
I'd never deny it.
Nope.
Sobbed like a child mate. There is something so incredibly special about my favourite band ever being able to bring people together like this. It's truly inspiring. Beautiful song, and the choir was fabulous.
I have to admit it, I fell to pieces.
One of few times that people can be unified. Politics, race, creed and religion can be ignored. Brought a tear.....Excellent. thank you.
didn’t know i was gonna cry, thank you so much for this.
When the youtube algorithm gods hands you a gem.
What a vid, made my day.
This☝️
have a look on UA-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
Just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. My mate died at 36 yrs old and that's the song they played at his funeral.
I’m sorry. That’s way to young to go.
This is the song I had playing as people walked in to my mothers funeral. Not a dry eye in the place.
Hug😢
Sorry for your loss pal 😢
Really sorry for your loss. Too young to leave 💔🌷
My younger sister just passed away from cancer sorry for your loss and beautiful song I am a Floydian and to all who have gone before shine on you crazy diamonds.
After taking my ex husband off life support, this song was playing as he passed away. He suffered for nine months in the hospital after being shot. The murderer is now serving 28 years in prison. This song will forever break my heart. This took place in a small town (2900) in Colorado…..it can happen anywhere 💔
#LiveLikeRed
Im sorry..
Very sorry for your loss. May your husband's soul rest in everlasting peace.
Listerning in feb 2021, everything is going to be okay
👍 Me too. Hope your Valentines Day was awesome bro 😎
Lmmfao! 2021 is going to be a fucking nightmare!
Yes Tom, it is. There is hope. We are better together!
Maybe...
Not if the woke mob come for you , or the commies take control
Those two fellas are my generation.
Boy,we had it best,the sexy 60's and the sounds of the 70's.
Wouldn't swap my time for any other in history.
Totally agree, I'm the generation after yourself, born in 67, and I think my generation lived through the last of the good times, all went tits up after us lol
I second that
Yeah - but think about it - every decade has loads of shit too!
You lucky, lucky bar steward! 😂
Born 15 years too late. Did have the rave scene late 80's though....
Completely with you, I grew up in the 60s - early 70s, wonderful times. 68 now and the only time that came anywhere near was possibly the 1990s
Notice the median age of the audience. Most grew up with PF, had the albums, 8-tracks, cassettes, went to concerts. Most beautiful. Wish I was there.
Another American here. This is absolutely awesome, and for a great cause as well. I love Pink Floyd, and I love the Irish. My wife and I toured the British Isles back in 2001, and the day we spent in Dublin was a highlight of the trip. Great city, great people.
I lost my dad to brain cancer on this teachers day (He was himself a teacher, whose passion was sharing knowledge, always wanted to make this world a better place). This has brought tears to my eyes. Wish Papa was here...
I feel you bro, and that last sentence made me cry... Wish Papa was here as well
Sorry for your loss...
Hemant Parmar I’m sorry. He made a difference in many many lives if he was a teacher and thusly lives on!❤️
I'm sorry 🙁

This has got to be the best cover of pink Floyd I have heard
First time I've seen this , beautiful. From an English man. So good to see people come together like that 🙌
Even more amazing, this is at a TRAIN STATION, meaning all of those people stopped, and risked missing their train to listen and sing this beautiful song.
Ummm, no, almost all of those people where part of a choir, singing with the buskers.
Description says flashmob. Planned for suicide awareness.
Staged
Grow up
Good i hope they were all late and told their boss to fuck off
The universal language of Pink Floyd........I would have missed my train to join in
That’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Such a great song and when 200 people start sing it is so awesome and so sorry to hear about Martin very good guitar player I've watched it 5 times
Sometimes the world is fantastic!
Sometimes it is on fire
And suddenly it's black infront of the observer's eyes

@@newton18311 u r right
*Wipes eyes* man, these allergies out here crazy
No shit man!
Did you get the valuable internet likes you craved?
Lol
Sid would have been overwhelmed to know all these people were singing this song about him.
This video shows the magic of Pink Floyd's music. It will live forever.
Who else is crying
*raises hand*
caitosanna i do and have no clue why. love this song
I'm
First album I bought with my first pay packet age 16 in 1977. Retired last year aged 58. Right now I'm feeling like my best years are behind me as we've been locked down for 9 months and I wanted to travel the world. I will get over it though and I know this is probably the first of 1000 views of this video from me.
Everybody.
This song transcends time!
Why?
rvz77 Because it sounds as good as the first day I heard it, all those years ago. Transcending Time. You might be young, but I know my life is ending sometime soon. Live long with your music !
@@rvz77 WHY NOT.
@@nigeljames6017 Hope you're still around enjoying this song!
@@androgynue Oh, I still am ! Full volume !
There's nothing in the world as beautiful as this ♥️♥️
Oh Jesus, it's all so touching and all these people are like a choir of angels...
Thanks to them the good old days haven't died yet ~~
who needs a train when you can sing along to pink floyd
Can't believe this had dislikes! What sort of soulless persons are you?
Ignore them and grow up
They were robots
Must be Democrat's

@@johnpanimondo5856 if that comment is for me, I'm in wales UK I'm not getting into US politics iv5seen what its like on the news!
I don't why but am crying... Within five seconds of the people singing
Who could dare say nothing good comes from Ireland after this, simply fantastic!
my wife was passed october 2017, hope she could hear
I can’t listen to this anymore...all my friends, my family, everyone I ever trusted, all dead.
I no longer wish they were here. I wish I was there.
What a sad and beautiful thought, I hope you see them all again one day
Hang in Charlie. Hope you meet some new trustworthy friends to keep you company until you meet the ones who have moved on.
Trust in yourself, life is precious.
God bless you!!!
👍😇👍......same......
I have lost count how many...Just how many times I watched this.. just to relieve this moment when an entire contingent stands up and sings an iconic Pink Floyd number.
Yes I am not ashamed to share that every time I hear this i get teary inside. But something inside me tells me that I am lucky enough to have witnessed a phenomenon called Pink Floyd.
Thanks a lot Pink Floyd for making me what I am today.
I couldn't have said it better.
The spiritual part of this video is not the just the song or the group. It wasn't random. The guitarist on the left had just been given a cancer diagnosis and has since passed. His son typed a comment to let us know. 😢 May he rest in music heaven.
Freaking WOW...46yr old man in tears. Thank u
I'm 59 and this song can still bring a tear to my eyes thinking about my sister who took her own life remember to tell your loved ones that you'll always be there for them
This brought a tear to my eye. I hope you are well now.
I hope your sister is at peace now...keep we6..E
Native Pride, I last my sister to suicide 5 years ago. This Song will forever be tied to her, for me. .
I am at this moment sitting in a hospital with my father watching this. He suffered a massive stroke, and he is ready to pass. This song always gets my tears flowing.
@@22ergie No Jules. He passed away in that hospital. He never recovered, and I never had a chance to say goodbye. I miss him.
@SmutnaJules007 rychwalska Thank you Laura for your kind words. I was there till the end.
Flying free now beautiful soul.❤❤
I am so sorry…. I lost my father at 18…… never even had a beer with him….
@David Lyons I'm sorry David. I'm sure he watches over you. If we lived close, I would drink that beer with you for him.
I hereby proclaim Dublin as the coolest place in the world
My nephew played this for brother at his funeral, this is the first time I have managed to listen to this since that date 6yrs ago. Thank you Dublin people, beautiful souls. God bless you all, god bless my dear brother, How I wish he was here. XX
God bless you, and your brother. Peace.
@@diegoaduriz9433 thank you buddy and to you x
May his soul rest in peace alongside ric right and syd.
We all want that they didn't choose that way! Its painful.
Victoria...peace and love from the wirral..E.
A slap in the face of those who say Rock should never turn "respectable".
This is beautiful, I travelled through Heuston Station daily for a number of years, these guys are incredible, sadly I heard one has passed away since. To think they give up their time to entertain people, to make them smile. Love this song and we’ll done to everyone involved
Yes the bloke on the left. His son or daughter has commented at top of page. He died from cancer
@@davidskerry793 🎉
This was so beautiful and magical it brought tears to my eyes. 😭💙💙💙✌🤙🙏
Incredible, at least three different generations singing with the same passion. Only pinkfloyd can create a timeless song like that.

And Queen
Especially the young ones singing Rolling Stones lyrics ❤️
And Led Zep...
RIP Martin, and thanks for bringing happiness to all those folk who were there on the day, along with all those who will watch this online - oh how I wish I was there too.

I saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour (twice) - and will always remember hearing 40,000 plus
singing this song, honestly one of life's pure moments.
Their best live concert tour as far as I am concerned. Beats Pulse.
The power of music to bring people together.
That was food for the soul. RIP Martin O'Hara and thank you.
I am so elated to know this many people know the lyrics.

One of the best street music pieces ever, just wow.
One of these magic moments in life. How I wish, how I wish I'd been there.
Beautiful, Dublin, absolutely beautiful!
Dedicated to my father who died almost 7 years ago. rest in peace. we miss you so much. wish you were here
I saw nearly thousand of those flashmobs on yt and wonder why it never ever happend anywhere in my life seeing such a wonder live....wonderful!
Amazing how everyone can unite in peace through music 🎶, even for a few moments in time. 😢😢
I've thought about suicide a few times;this song&loved ones have brought me back
Just saying, if this is great to you, you should totally listen to the entirety of the Wish You Were Here Album. It's perfect, and I haven't found anything better to listen to since.
When you feel like this Gary, give Samaritans a call 116123. There for you night or day.
This is what great music can do to humankind. Bring people together in peace. Thank you Pink Floyd
and 'F' Roger Waters
An absolute act of being human ❤
Absolutely.
A LOVE Busker from Top to Toe.
Eskerrikasko. Thank You.
LOVE BLESS
Gave me chills and smiles listening to this! Awesome to see so many different people knowing this song. I sang along too!
Wow check all the older people everyday joe's you would never think were this cool. Its awsome.
Probably in thier 20s when this came out. Time flies
I want to say something snotty but I won’t. Don’t disrespect age we were all young once.
gerald bowern yes there cool they were the original cool.
Thank you Gerald, yes we are that cool
Yup, about Pink's age...
Im crying ..
Damn
This is beautiful
Small movements thru music
seeing on UA-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
It must be an awesome feeling to know something you have written is so loved by the world that it can be spontaneously sung in a train station word for word by a couple of hundred people.
So true! I think of John Lennon's Imagine and all the other tunes that we've just loved over the years that brought so many people together.
I don't think it's spontaneous, I can hear practiced choir harmonics. Still agree with you though.
Earlier that day, the guitarist on the left received a cancer diagnosis and he didn't make it. I think the large crowd of people singing the song may have known him and came to support him play.
I come back to this video every few months, it doesn’t get old
I love things like this great song great people My America is in such a bad way thank you I needed this...
Kathy right with you. This put a smile on my day here in Alabama.
There's so much magic in this song. Blessed these artists. There will always be faith in humanity as long as they exist.
If we would only accept more music, I promise the world would be a much better place!
R.I.P. your Dad. I lost my dad too. My beautiful Ireland love you ❤
The transcendence of generations... Rest In Peace Martin. Your legacy lives on in the music and happiness you’ve left behind.
Got to love Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
@Israel Hands👍 i like pink floyd . I was talking about the atmosphere
Isn't it amazing , one of my favourite songs . I had the privilege of working in Ireland some years ago . Beautiful country . Wonderful people .
Never tire of listening to, and watching, this. Always brings me to tears. Heavenly.
Sometimes we all just need a good cry. I watched this over and over again today and cried like a baby every time.
You and I, brother.
This is a great song to do a flash mob to. It's well known and something easy for outsiders to join in on.
I visited my best friend in Newport, Wales. And Pink Floyd had their names on a wall. Kudos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dad last concert. I know he didn’t realize who roger waters was. But hearing all these people sing, like they sang that night! I know he had an awesome time. Wow, to hear ,just a crowd of people watching and knowing the words, brings back many happy memories!
Pink Floyd is a universal language.
When music was music. Everyone of all ages and backgrounds could sing together. Love it.
So sorry about your father... He is still living in memory of so many people who heard and are hearing him....
I hope people at risk, hear this and don't give up on life. My friend who left too soon, I wish he was here, because we has so much more to share with each other and the world.
This is my song to my honey we've known each other 46 years 5 years ago we hooked up through facebook I should have snatched him up when I was 17 now 57 thanks again!
