Damien a class act....eminent authors, historians will write tens of millions of words about a very dark time in Irish life. They will never better or come near to it than this powerful, beautiful, moving song by Damien. Deffo a national treasure. No show like a Damo show.
Saw him in Glasgow a few years ago, think it was Celtic connections (?) What a great performer, everbody loved him, great stage presence. Thanks for posting.
Mary loves the grouse, hides the bottles round the house, She watches chatshows and the soaps, broken-hearted but she copes, Michael's out of work, feels he's sinking in the murk, He's unshaven and a mess, finds it hard some days to dress Stevie smashes the delf, cos he can't express himself, He's consumed by rage, like his father at his age, Rita's little child, has a lovely little smile, This means nothing to her father, because he's never even seen her. We sing, sing all our cares away We'll live, to fight another day Joey's off the gear, he's been clean for half a year, He gets bored out of his mind, but he's tryin to toe the line Maggie's in a chair, 'twas joyriding put her there, She puts the kettle on the boil, and shes always got a smile We sing, sing all our cares away We'll live, to fight another day We sing, sing all our cares away, We'll live, to love another day, We grow strong, from it all, We grow strong, or we fall, We grow strong, from it all, We grow strong, or we fall, We grow strong.
Love this guy and been looking for an original music video for ages, but this is an amazing video, all that's missing is Damien himself bobbing in and out the video singing, perfect, well done
brilliant in the opra house cork city what an irish singer we have in damo ps 1st of just gone .come back damo we we love ya in the rebel county markie next
Amazes me how people like damien,absolute greats,simplified and deep meaning,are overlooked in the music industry whilst these commercial puppets steal the fame and money
Damo I have two beautiful step daughters in east Africa and I want to help them but all I come up against is western union saying I can't send money. You have no idea how this song has torn my heart and soul apart thank you
The first line in this song reminded me of my mother ..I just had to listen to the rest of it on Radio 2 .It is amazing, the lyrics,the vocals and the emotion .
Thanks for all the lovely comments - Damien is a sound man, met him in person and you couldn't meet a nicer person. Please follow me on Twitter twitter.com/pameladoylewood
+Doylepam He is a great person indeed! Met him in a pub in Dublin tonight, heard him sing James Connelly live and he even bought me a whisky! Very kind gentlemen!
+Doylepam all of us have a choice in life,i came from a poor background 1950,s no drugs.i have no sympathy for addicts a crowd of instant gratifican pain in the bolox me fein dont care who they hurt.those people years would have been locked up in mental hosp
@@orlaithcooney8140 But the world can be such a dark place for some, and trying to escape that darkness and pain through drug use can seem like a good strategy at the time, esp when you're young. A terrible idea, of course, and not the answer.

Just heard this for the first time in the film Tyrannosaur. Had to pause the film to listen again here. Made me cry. A stunning song.
Damo is living legend pitty he doesn't get the recognition he deserves probably my favorite song of all time
He's so underrated and modest , not many men like him anymore
This song always gets me!
A top man
Fuck recognition he doesnt give a shit about that, that's where total originality comes from.
Damien Dempsey is one of our greatest ever songwriters, this is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It almost brings me to tears every time I hear it.

Such a beautiful song ❤
Every song he performs is just pure magic can't wait to see you live will bring the whole family with
Always makes me cry. Parts of it are my life. But gives me hope. Hang in there. 👍
Was listening to Jeremy Vine in the car.....sat in car at end of journey listening to this wonderful song.
Love this. Love love love. What a voice. What emotions. This guy is on another level.
Saw Damo last night in the arklow bay, absolutely amazing
Damien is a incredible songwriter.truly one of our great poetic emotive artists
This is a man who sings it as it is, down and dirty, a nugget of gold in a big rock ,!!
god this man has something, pulls you right in, a true story teller.
Brilliant song. Brilliant film. Both choke me up every time.
Tyrannosaur, what a brilliant movie! What an amazing track, this!
Tyrannosaur was the best film I have seen in many years.
Me too, so underrated!
Absolutely incredible acting by everyone. 🎥

Damien Dempsey...ohh..he gives me hope and solace and ..the most beautiful music.x

We sing, sing all our cares away
We'll live, to fight another day
Joey's off the gear, he's been clean for half a year,
He gets bored out of his mind, but he's tryin to toe the line
Maggie's in a chair, 'twas joyriding put her there,
She puts the kettle on the boil, and shes always got a smile
We sing, sing all our cares away
We'll live, to fight another day
We sing, sing all our cares away,
We'll live, to love another day,
We grow strong, from it all,
We grow strong, or we fall,
We grow strong, from it all,
We grow strong, or we fall,
We grow strong.
The Clumsy Girl Stevie's smashed to death
