@@martinnevin1706of course Shane wrote it, Martin. Perhaps you should be employed by the Biden administration; shanty Irish like that crypt keeper SOB need fake news BS’ers on their staff.
In time, songs like this will earn Shane MacGowan a place among the top songwriters and poets in Irish history. It's nothing less than brilliant, as are several of his other works.
I totally agree. The song is a masterpiece. Who else has ever put a rusty tin can and an old hurling ball in a song. The words are excellent. He has wrote brilliant songs down the years.
Theres no pain, theres no more sorrow, theyre all gone, gone in the years, Shane❤️ Bet Liam was waiting with his brothers to sing you this song when you walked the stairs to the pearly gates.
God rest your soul Liam. I saw you in 2007 sitting in Starbucks with your daughter and your wife. You came over to me to say hello. It brought back so many memories of being little listening to those old crackling Columbia records. Thank you.
Last time I saw you Liam Paramus NJ Starbucks getting my tea. You were smiling ear to ear and so was I. God love you, you and the boys brought us so much joy at a time where getting a flight home was a luxury.
Liam clancy is a fellow tipperay man. Shane spent alot of his youth in a village called Puckane in Tipperary which overlooks Lough Derg thats on the river shannon. i grew up a few miles further down the lake.. Its a stunning part of the world
A beautiful Irish song. The Pogues are genius. I love this version. very sad song. And I walked as day was dawning, where small birds sang and leaves were falling where we once watched the row boats landing near the broad majestic Shannon
Brings back memories of when my parents and aunts and uncles would get together and pull out the ukulele and we (including me) would sing all the old Irish songs. What a memory.
One of the most beautiful songs of all time. Great to see Liam has recorded it at last! It's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl about a rusty tin can and an old hurling ball.. There's no pain, there's no more sorrow They're all gone, gone in the years Shane..
Yes he wrote it specifically for Liam to sing. But Liam said he would have sung it sooner but he could never understand what he was talking about. It was a joke he's the spokesperson of our generation
Shane is a living genius, a true wordsmith. Whatever that mystical talent is that Dylan, waits, Cohen and many more were born with Shane had it in abundance. Shane wrote this song for Liam and sent him a recording, gave the song to him. Liam couldn't understand the words so never sang it until years later they met in a bar in NYC and Shane scribbled the lyrics on a beer mat for Liam. As the story is told by Liams son.
Take my hand "Liam" and dry your tears Liam. Forget your fears Liam. theres no pain, theres no more sorrow, there all gone, gone in the years.. RIP LIAM CLANCY AN IRISH LEGEND!
I love how Liam changes 'Babe' to 'Shane.' It's the most beautiful interpretation of Shane's poetry I've ever heard!!! Shane then sings The Parting Glass. I love seeing Shane with the Irish greats, same as I love it when Billy Joe is recognized & acknowledged. Great poets should be acknowledged & celebrated--poetry is a medium of the people!!! The educated elite would patent it & dole it out in self-righteous crumbs if they could!!! Perhaps they are even working on yokes & bridles for us. . .
The ending lyrics and/or Liams emotions bring the tears out. The picture and the pain is universal with our healing water watching us as always. One love.
I don’t want Liam’s interpretation. Changing the tempo and even the melody in some parts totally ruined the song. I hate when people covering other people’s songs feel compelled to put their own spin on it. It’s so narcissistic and insulting of them to think they can improve on the original.
@@mooneymash8126 Your opinion is stupid and wrong. Liam has changed the tempo, the melody, and even the lyrics in one instance, totally ruining the song. It’s narcissistic to change the song one is covering, to think you can “improve” it. It’s galling. I don’t ever want to hear someone cover a song if they’re going to change it. It’s the height of arrogance.
@@artvandelay5157 ok Troll. Guess you've never heard of an ode to someone? An artist putting their own twist on a song , peon? Yea. I'm sure you're in the majority with your pubescent , school boy , take. But hey....as they say...opinions are like a@@holes....everybody has one.
ive said it before and will continue to say it, there is something so very wonderful about liams voice it can both bring you a smile and bring out the tears. he was wonderful.
What words... unreal... can't separate this song with fairy tale of new York...in his top 3 songs of all time... for me ...3 to one... pair of brown eyes...no.3.... fairly tail..no2 ... & No 1...go's to...
This is a great version of this song, among the best. Shane had a 'habit' of writing (many) songs where other singers did better versions than the man himself! One master poet and songwriter.
The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks You sang me a song as pure as the breeze Blowing up the road to Glenaveigh I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go Take my hand, and dry your tears babe Take my hand, forget your fears babe There's no pain, there's no more sorrow They're all gone, gone in the years babe I sat for a while by the gap in the wall Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball So I walked as day was dawning Where small birds sang and leaves were falling Where we once watched the row boats landing By the broad majestic Shannon
Still hard to believe he is gone! Where is the next Liam Clancy? He won't be auditioning for this years X Factor! Talent? Do they know the meaning of the word? Watch this video & they may get it!!! We miss you Liam!!!
"Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go..." Happy Saint Patty's to all the Irish & honorary Irish out there. Rest in peace, Liam Clancy. His version of the song is even more mesmerizing than Shane & the Pogue's. Cheers as well to Gemma Hayes for sharing her lovely countenace & talent on stage with Liam. Sláinte!
poor Liam. I wonder did he know he wouldn't be with us for much longer during this performance on account of his illness. he seems so sad, old, at peace and reflective in this video
First heard this version when I was 15, I thought " This doesnt come close to the Pogues". Now, at 23, it makes sense, i see I was wrong, both versions are great, but this is the superior version.
Liam's voice by then was getting a little older, but the true artist he was tuned it to a mellow harmonic sound, his delivery was superb and still in tune, also the trained Actor in Liam shone through...''Take my hand and dry your tears, babe Take my hand, forget your fears, babe There's no pain, there's no more sorrow They've all gone, gone in the years, babe.''
i didn't realize that shane had written this for someone else, but i think it's actually good that shane recorded this first, because it's very personal to him, and his childhood...it's a beautiful song...and i love it....
Shane wrote this song for him but I'm sure glad that the Pogues did it. This is a great version but I love Shanes' much more. I'd play this at my funeral, not that I could hear it or that anyone would show up, it's so lovely and beautiful.
john smith I love the pogues version the best. Liam does a very good job though. it brought tears to my eyes. Shane is a genius Poet. I think he is my number one poet
Well said fishf8z! Luckily, we know better.. Shane at his best is probably the best songwriter ever. Who else has wrote songs as mindblowingly beautiful as this? Shane MacGowan forever!
ok..... this isn't the official vid of The Broad Majestic Shannon, but I love this version :) Just notice he's changed the lyrics to mention Shane :) He has the same love for Shane MacGowan that everyone should
Blimey. Can you imagine how Shane must have felt, listening to one of his idols singing his own song directly back at him. What a beautiful moment.
shane never wrote the song
@@martinnevin1706lol. He literally wrote it for the Clancys
@@martinnevin1706 Yes he did. Don't know who told you he didn't
@@martinnevin1706of course Shane wrote it, Martin. Perhaps you should be employed by the Biden administration; shanty Irish like that crypt keeper SOB need fake news BS’ers on their staff.
@@prangbro Glad you said it - I was about to give the same information
In time, songs like this will earn Shane MacGowan a place among the top songwriters and poets in Irish history. It's nothing less than brilliant, as are several of his other works.
He is already there, has been for a long time
I think Shane is the greatest poet of his time
I totally agree. The song is a masterpiece. Who else has ever put a rusty tin can and an old hurling ball in a song. The words are excellent. He has wrote brilliant songs down the years.
Heather Jean it's a classic here it is with local images ruclips.net/video/rf3G_w6jd8I/видео.html
@@robbiedoyle5199 and more so than many of them
Just heard the news of Shane's passing and found myself coming straight here to listen to this. RIP to both of them.
💔
Yes and he buried on Sinead’s birthday. There’ll be some great sessions above these days.
The fact he changed the lyric to “Shane” just tears my heart out!
It's genius.
No Respect
Couldn't agree more Andrew George great thing to say 🇮🇪
Same
@@jerrycrow66 i would say it’s maximum respect
Theres no pain, theres no more sorrow, theyre all gone, gone in the years, Shane❤️
Bet Liam was waiting with his brothers to sing you this song when you walked the stairs to the pearly gates.
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan and also to Liam Clancy who paid you due deference in this rendition - my favourite version of the song.
Very powerful on this day of MacGowans passing. May perpetual light shine upon him.
God rest your soul Liam. I saw you in 2007 sitting in Starbucks with your daughter and your wife. You came over to me to say hello. It brought back so many memories of being little listening to those old crackling Columbia records. Thank you.
This MacGowan classic hits different tonight. May God Rest Your Soul Shane.
Rest in peace Shane
The world has lost a wonderful human being
Genius poet
Amen to that.
the voice of liam clancy and the words of shane mcgowan...what a beautiful combination...what a beautiful song!
Farewell Shane MacGowan, we loved you and your words will live on.
"Take my hand, and dry your tears . . . SHANE!" God that kills me.
What an incredible combination. One of Ireland's greatest ever singers. Singing a song written by one of Ireland's greatest song writers
You could hear Ireland, its history, its pain, its joy and its people in the voice of Liam Clancy
Last time I saw you Liam Paramus NJ Starbucks getting my tea. You were smiling ear to ear and so was I. God love you, you and the boys brought us so much joy at a time where getting a flight home was a luxury.
Majestic and stunningly beautiful tribute to such a brilliant man. RIP Shane 🙏👑☘️
As much as I love the Pogues version, I have to admit this is really beautifully done.
This is a terrific version of one of Shane MacGowan's best ever songs.
Liam clancy is a fellow tipperay man. Shane spent alot of his youth in a village called Puckane in Tipperary which overlooks Lough Derg thats on the river shannon. i grew up a few miles further down the lake.. Its a stunning part of the world
So haunting and beautiful when he directs the line "no more tears Shane" gives me the shivers. You can't classify this song just beautiful
I almost fockin wept, really powerfull
I agree. Cant get over how stunningly beautiful it is. Think its one of my favourite performances of anything ever.
A beautiful Irish song. The Pogues are genius. I love this version. very sad song. And I walked as day was dawning, where small birds sang and leaves were falling
where we once watched the row boats landing
near the broad majestic Shannon
I did @@SMFjunior00
Beautiful tribute to Shane Rest in peace 🙏
RIP Shane, one for the road, for the memories and all.
Brings back memories of when my parents and aunts and uncles would get together and pull out the ukulele and we (including me) would sing all the old Irish songs. What a memory.
RIP Shane McGowan 🍻🇮🇪
When he started singing to Shane, for some reason this just brought tears to my eyes.
"There's no pain, there's no more sorrow. They're all gone, gone in the years, Shane."
One of the most beautiful songs of all time. Great to see Liam has recorded it at last! It's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl about a rusty tin can and an old hurling ball..
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They're all gone, gone in the years Shane..
Mark Kelly great lines in this beautiful song . pure genius.
I love this version, Liam's a legend. Liam Clancy singin' a song written by Shane Macgowan it's beautiful, and if you don't agree pogue mahone!
Póg mo thón you mean?
Yes he wrote it specifically for Liam to sing. But Liam said he would have sung it sooner but he could never understand what he was talking about. It was a joke he's the spokesperson of our generation
do some research.
Fucking beautiful. My favorite Pogues song and such a beautiful rendition. 💚
Go hálainn......this video of a master singer, singing a Shane McGowan song (a master song writer) to Shane would bring a tear to a,glass eye!
I am so grateful I was able to hear this beautiful song sung so clear, with each word in harmony with the music.
Mate I just ended to listen to it and I am in tears...
My daughter is named Sionainne, I just think of this song as her anthem
Ja

RIP LIAM CLANCY AN IRISH LEGEND!
Liam was the best singer i've ever heard. Authentic and with true feeling in his voice. I haven't heard beside Luke Kelly such authenticity.
I'd have to add Paddy Reilly as well.
Christy Moore is every bit as good as both of them
RIP Liam and Shane… may you make awesome music in Heaven. Godspeed.
They're all gone, gone in the years…damn, this performance just hits me today.
What A Wonderful Rendition Of A Really Great Song And Maith Liam Clancy 🇮🇪
almost makes me cry.."dry your tears Shane, forget your fears Shane"
The passion and feeling in this mans songs are what makes him a true Irish hero
This brings a tear to my eye , an incredible singer. What a songwriter Shane is incredible.
I love how Liam changes 'Babe' to 'Shane.' It's the most beautiful interpretation of Shane's poetry I've ever heard!!! Shane then sings The Parting Glass. I love seeing Shane with the Irish greats, same as I love it when Billy Joe is recognized & acknowledged. Great poets should be acknowledged & celebrated--poetry is a medium of the people!!! The educated elite would patent it & dole it out in self-righteous crumbs if they could!!! Perhaps they are even working on yokes & bridles for us. . .
Rest in peace Shane, thank you for your gift!
Truly, Shane Mcgowan is a genius and narrated by this legend!!! Greetings and cheers from the Philippines lads!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written...
This is the greatest interpretation of a MacGowan song that we will ever hear.
Liam interpretation is masterpiece and Shane listening in the crowd must be so honored.

So true, and so well deserved. If I could stop crying, I'd had more things to say... Thank you, all the way.
Imagnine how proud shane must have felt heering liam sing his song in the proformance of a life of him
This is a great version of this song, among the best. Shane had a 'habit' of writing (many) songs where other singers did better versions than the man himself! One master poet and songwriter.
Only crossed the Shannon twice but me name's Shane so I'm claiming this. Superb
it is all yours ---maybe cross a few more times to secure your place in history. Shane is a VERY cool name! ..so is Liam
Gone in the years shane..sang from a legend in tribute to
a legend :( RIP Shane
The song says it all.
i had the honour of meeting this man in person. it was the greatest time of my life
Amazing song
Shane Macgowan a poet .....
Rip
Oh I love this so much - heart and soul - way to go, Shane and God Bless Liam Clancy xx
Holy cow. What a beautiful version.
A wonderful version 🙌🏻
I'm crying
Take my hand, and dry your tears Shane.
Wow, what a beautiful ode to Shane macgowan
What a awesome song
Wir sind alle nur für eine kleine Weile da, so gut war er.
Gott sei Dank, dass nicht jeder die Kommentare versteht! Vielen Dank Liam & Shane
The last time I saw you was down at the Greeks
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
You sang me a song as pure as the breeze
Blowing up the road to Glenaveigh
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shinrone
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go
Take my hand, and dry your tears babe
Take my hand, forget your fears babe
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They're all gone, gone in the years babe
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
So I walked as day was dawning
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the row boats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon
Beautiful!
