@irish6005 he didn’t pass away, he’s been in palitive care since Christmas, sadly on the way out. I was very close with his nephew who passed away a month ago sadly ❤️
Dublin and Ireland is crying tonight. I grew up listening to these and they were amazing. RIP Christy. You weren’t a bad man at all. Just a beautiful singer.
This is beautiful .I remember He once said ..."theres places in Dublin that the celtic tiger didn't stop to take a piss" . He cared about his locality and stood up for them publically. God bless this true legend.
Not one person in the crowd with a phone in their hand, just all there enjoying the music, oh for it to be 1999 again, RIP Christy, a true Irish musical icon
Worked in the concert promotions business,only as local crew through alot of the 90's, the 90's was like a mini revival of the 60's music wise,concerts became good again,a few good gigging bands around,some of those top bands you take them out of the studio put them on a stage and they just wither and die,a good front man and band is a thing of beauty 🍀
From Dublin but living in Manchester over 20 years now playing Aslan all day, one of the best bands I've ever seen. My 15 year old son keeps asking me what song was that and so has downloaded Aslan on his Spotify even though I've been playing them for years he just said I really never paid attention until today because of asking what was it like at his concerts, I just said son just watch this and then Crazy World video.For the whole day he just asked questions about Alsan and it just brought back so much memories telling my son the whole history of Christy and Aslan. RIP, your now pain free. 😢☘️🍀
Sometimes it takes kids a while to pay proper attention to the music our parents play throughout our childhood. So happy my parents introduced me to new order, joy div, Pink Floyd, the streets, smiths, Motown, Joan baez, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil young, the fall and countless others. Love you mam and dad ❤
There are very few songs that give you goosebumps from start to finish. Christy and the song are one, he becomes the song. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family at this difficult time. What an amazing talent 🇮🇪
This is the most incredible live performance I have ever seen in my life thus far. Christy is a generational talent. I would give my left paw to witness his stardom. What a phenom
First seen Aslan in a place called the Dance line club in Nth great Georges St in Dublin (early 80s), it was a basement of an old Georgian building, stank of beer and cigarettes, great performances and great times.
I sit here in London, 2/6/21 and agree with your statement. This song has shook me deep inside. I can identify with it at my old age of 69. I've seen every name you can think of. Hendrix,Zappa, Doors,Joplin, Dylan, bla bla bla, but tonight this song has absutely rocked my inner consciousness. I can relate it to my own life.
It's just been reported. Christy Dignam has sadly passed away. Was extremely lucky to have met him and quick chat. His voice shook me the first time I heard him in either '85 or '86. This is a voice and talent that will be missed by every Irish person. Take it easy now Christy, you earned your rest. RIP
Mesmorised by this, just perfect, timing, Vocals, audience participation, just wow.. Wish I was there. Simply a work of art. RIP Christy Dignam... You will live forever 💚
Why aren't these guys up there with the 1% of music royalty? They're fucking fantastic, Christy is a legend who's been to a lot of the dark places I've been. He has an absolutely unique stage presence and one of the best voices you'll ever hear.
@@mydigicraftscrafts8649 Yeah , but most (all?) of the successful bands for many years would have been into drugs ,it didnt stifle their commercial success ,however brief.
Working in an Irish radio industry for over 5 years now, I can tell you that Irish broadcasters must only or at least play 20 % of Irish music per hour by law (B.A.I) . Having said that an hour of Radio is filled up with 10 minutes of commercials, sometimes pushing the boundaries up to 12 in seasonal periods and prime time. Also the remainder of that hour is divided between DJs/ radio presenters talk, radio promotions/ Jingles / features/ competition etc...... so technically we're talking about maybe 30- 35 min of music if you're lucky per hour.. An interesting point to make is that "ALMOST" every commercial radio playlist has to have an equal rotation rule.. which means if you play a song or a band at a specific time.. the automation prevents that band/song to repeat itself within few days for it to give a chance to other similar artist in that Genre or category of music.. unless it is a charting song, which is of course by definition going to be promoted and played to death for weeks on 3- 4 times a day. There is a lot of bands out there fighting for radio play and Royalties... but with 20% per hour of Irish music (Meaning 2 songs most likely), and considering the amount of music,: modern or classics out there .... there is simply no money to be made by any Irish artist ... So to summarize, it is impossible, even for a legendary successful Artist, to make a substantial Royalty profit and make a descent living out of it. On an occasion "one of their classic song " that of which it was a hit, or is popular amongst listeners, might be played every now and then ... other than that.. unfortunately they are commercially doomed ..
@@maughanMaughan From the bottom of my heart! I swear no malice or harm is meant from me. If you think about it logically, Addiction practically put Aslan's career to a halt! Absolutely nothing got to do with the genius talent of Christy and the gang. As far as I am concerned they should be way bigger than U2, having much more talent and creativity than them. xx
The legend that is Christie has died about an hour ago, Ive seen so many of the bigger bands for want of better word but no one could match Christie gave me and my lot so many great nights out in Dublin
You used to have a smoke with my mother in Beaumont hospital you never let anything beat you. Such a great man and such beautiful representative of Irish people. Thank you for being a gentleman to us and especially my mother ❤
Descubri este maravilloso grupo hace cuatro años en un viaje a Dublín. Desde entonces no he dejado de escucharlos y disfrutarlos. Hoy me entero de la muerte de Christy, que pena! RIP genio
Days after Christy died, my friend Ciaran Mallon died suddenly in his sleep. He was 36, but touched the lives of so many people He was Belfast's Spider-Man, a trade unionist, a father, a friend and overall a great human being.
35 years old brought to tears at this performance and everything that Christy went through to be the man he was. A performer, a man in recovery and a very special gift to everyone who was graced with his presence. R.I.P ❤
These are the hands of a tired man This is the old man's shroud These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger Staring at the maddening crowd This is the face of a teenage mother This is the child she bears This is the soul of her broken lover Searching for the smiles they shared These are the feet of the punished pilgrim And in his book of punished love You see his eyes, you see no surprise Waiting for a lie that's true Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning (Wasting your life away) These are the dreams of a sleeping father And in his long lost days He sees a child He sees his eyes Waiting for the price he's paid These are the tears of a fallen idol And in his smile of shattered love You see his eyes You see no surprise You just see lights then realise Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning (Wasting your life away) Oh here with you There's no one here like you And no one moves like you Nobody touches like you Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning Everybody hits you And everybody knocks you down You stop you look you're searching, you stop you look you're searching Everybody hits you And everybody knocks you down Everybody hits you And everybody knocks you down
This is one of the greatest performances of all time - the emotion, the voice, the music, the atmosphere...simply legendary. Thinking of you Christy and praying for a miracle xxx
What a band,I only heard of aslan when I came over to dublin in 2003, everyone was raving about them,and nay wonder,got to see them live 1s amazing,rip christy fly high brother,godbless you ,dublins own,🇮🇪💚🏴
May the gates of heaven ring with the sounds of angels playing this for you… rip buddy. Dublin loved you, the world loved you- blasting the tunes for you this weekend. You got us all through some mad times- thank you.
An emotional day to say the least. Loved this man! He had such stage presence and knew how to entertain. Will miss the live performances especially Vicar St, Iveagh Gdns and listening to his life stories. Thanks for the music and memories. Farewell Irish Legend for you now know Irish legends never die!!
Rest easy, my friend, and thank you. Take a bow, you gave everything you had, your music moulded a generation, you had no idea how fucking fantastic you.amd your band was....
Read Christy's autobiography last year (the best autobiography I've ever read) he went through so much and still was salt of the earth dubliner, a gent. RIP Christy, there will never be another voice like yours. Love this video, what stage presence and control he had over a audience 💙
As I make this comment at 19.10 Irish time 13th of June 2023, Christy has just passed away from a long battle with cancer.. I was at this gig and so many Aslan concerts and he was the best frontman a band could of wished for, Gave me and my group of friends so many great nights out in Dublin.. Thanks for all the great memories Christy may you rest in peace my friend🙏💚☘
Listening to on repeat here. Sending it to friends near and far. The best version of a brilliant song. Imagine being the 'bloke in the white t-shirt' showing this to his grandkids. Magic.
You have not seen the last of them boys yet. Believe me, they are pure deadly Irishirish band. THEY ARE QUITE FAMOUS ACTUALLY. They helped me with the lockdown.
My 17 yr old son and his dad we're @ Vicar st 1999. And I first heard Aslan via Daniel singing Crazy world doing a crazy dance in the mirror. His dad Ian blasted Aslan on his car C D wen I visited them in Crumlin back then . I sadly lost them both in 2013/14. Tears come Every Time I hear Aslan
Thank you Aslan God Bless you for keeping them close to me via Your music . I'cant get over how many people never heard of Aslan or Christy here in the UK. Till they meet me . Aslan get me through and the hope to see them like Ian and Dan did in 1999. Thank you Aslan so so much
Met an Irish girl when I was working in Channel Islands Jersey Linda her name was ... she put me onto aslan Made in dublin album. It has been one of my all time faves since 2001 , superb album and IMHO easily there best offering. ❤
It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear Christy say that he's dying and can't pay his mortgage, people think because he's an Irish celebrity, he most be loaded, he's a strong man, with a beautiful wife and family behind him, hopefully he'll pull through, he's being through so much, and we're all rooting for him 💙❤♥
What a brilliant singer Christy was !! was in dublin over from england and seen him live years ago in dublin will never forgot it!! thanks for a memorable night Christy may god bless you 🙏 you dublin legend 🇨🇮 🕯
I was fifteen working in the Royal Oak bar in Finglas, all the band drank there, so down to earth. We had Aslan watches, tshirts the lot-after EMI signed them up and they threw a party one day. One day my good friend and I were in Brussels Bar in Temple bar meeting my friends pen pal from Cork who was visiting Dublin. Aslan came on the radio and we were saying how we knew them and how they drank in our bar, Corky was thinking we were full of shit then Joe Jewel walks over all leathered up and like he just walked straight off a Depeche Mode album cover photo shoot, pats us on the back and buys us a round of drinks singing our praises. The good old days when life was simple. Thanks for the video.
I was there right in front of him - massive part of my young life - you fought an amazing fight and with absolute dignity Christy. Sleep well my brother. ❤
Got to meet him bout 15 years ago at a gig at Hush nightclub at the time. Me and 2 of my friends knew every single word of the Vicar street album . Of course cause us 3 lunatics where giving it socks he loved it and took time after to talk with us and take pictures and all . Absolutely beautiful soul and great artist . R.I.P Christy
@@weechill333 Yeah near enough to get bit of stick 😂 It's been said that if Christy hadn't got such bad drug problems they could of been as big as U2?? I partied with Christy back in the 90ees and he was one wild fucker but one of the best bands I've ever seen, Saw them loads of times in all types of venues here in Dublin and never a bad gig, Should goggle to see if and when there touring and if there near ya I'd really recommend you 2 go?? Obviously not as young as they were like us all but they still put on a cracker of a show👍
2022 still relevant to us from Dublin.. YUP THE CHRISTY, listening from Scotland,can't count the amount of Scots I've got listening to Made In Dublin .... Glasgow gig please 🙌🍀
Oh man christy your the singer the main man but yet you show and let the crowd feel or know that it's there song... That's why you are so special... The impact you have on your audience not many people can do that
Moved the states from Dublin 6 years ago and got man married, me misses and me young fella know full well where we’re ending up. Nowhere else in the world like it pal
Only found this group about 10 years ago, as a frequent traveller to Ireland these guys are royalty, totally understand why, Christy Dignam is an amazing singer and someone who has been through much, keep going as long as possible x
Grew up with this guy my mother and father hung around with christys mother and father before they got married ,and they moved to finglas together as married couples then as ,ķids we grew up together Great times
When I moved back to Dublin in the 90’s having been gone for many years, my brother in law David brought me to see Aslan at the ‘noggin inn. I had never heard of them but was blown away by how good they were and by what a showman and brilliant singer Christy was! A fan for ever after that, and by the way, U2’s tribute to Aslan with their version of this song is also brilliant in a different way and has created a path for new fans around the world to discover Aslan’s music. RIP Christy!
I couldn't love this song any more than I do right now! Stunning performance, hard-hitting lyrics - some of the words bring an old acquaintance to mind and I end up smiling like a fool!! :) x
Listening to Christy giving the song everything has me in tears,my baby brother loved Aslan and Christy, hopefully they'll get to meet some day ❤since I've posted this i found out today when i woke Christy lost his battle for life,he fought like a Lion Aslan,hope he gets to meet my baby Brother in big here after,just know our soul go's on and i bet Christy knew that before the end and his fear of Death was gone,wish i had of went to Aslan gigs with my Brother bc im only finding out recently how awesome a singer Christy is combined in the band Aslan easiest one of the best performing bands in the World, It's a crazy sad world today Christy ❤️ to Christy's nearest and dearest 🇮🇪☘️
What a voice one of our greatest Christy your Irish legend may u get the best bed in heaven I seen aslan so many times what a band my favourite look down on your Ireland xxx
RIP to one of Ireland's most iconic and adored artists. Thanks for all of the cracking tunes. ❤️💯

What a legend 😎🎶🙏Rest in Peace Christy 🙏🎶🎤🎼Thanks for your fantastic songs✌️🎶never forgotten 👌❤️
This is the most incredible live performance I have ever seen in my life thus far. Christy is a generational talent. I would give my left paw to witness his stardom. What a phenom
First seen Aslan in a place called the Dance line club in Nth great Georges St in Dublin (early 80s), it was a basement of an old Georgian building, stank of beer and cigarettes, great performances and great times.
The coke line lol 😂
I sit here in London, 2/6/21 and agree with your statement. This song has shook me deep inside. I can identify with it at my old age of 69. I've seen every name you can think of. Hendrix,Zappa, Doors,Joplin, Dylan, bla bla bla, but tonight this song has absutely rocked my inner consciousness. I can relate it to my own life.
You are talking sense John
Fantastic band and christy has a legendary voice. Had the pleasure of meeting him an absolute down to earth man.
It's just been reported. Christy Dignam has sadly passed away. Was extremely lucky to have met him and quick chat. His voice shook me the first time I heard him in either '85 or '86. This is a voice and talent that will be missed by every Irish person.
Take it easy now Christy, you earned your rest. RIP
He didn't want it...
Mesmorised by this, just perfect, timing, Vocals, audience participation, just wow.. Wish I was there. Simply a work of art. RIP Christy Dignam... You will live forever 💚
Rest easy christy, you showed everyone how it should be done. Brilliantly!!! You sang the song, you were the song. A gentle soul. 😎😎😎😎😎
Lyrics are unreal too
Why aren't these guys up there with the 1% of music royalty? They're fucking fantastic, Christy is a legend who's been to a lot of the dark places I've been. He has an absolutely unique stage presence and one of the best voices you'll ever hear.
Often ask myself the same question ,one of the great musical mysteries to me.........

What a legend and the rest of the band aswell, pure Dublin
Miss you christy best of Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️ 💙
An Irish icon. It doesn't matter what age you are what age this song is, it hits you the same way. Thank you Christy for all them wonderful nights
Christy you will be missed by so many. Just listened and shed a tear. One of Irelands greatest ever talents. Thank you for the joy you bring.
That frontman is something else, brilliant voice.
A legend,but everything wasn't so simple,read his book.
The legend that is Christie has died about an hour ago, Ive seen so many of the bigger bands for want of better word but no one could match Christie gave me and my lot so many great nights out in Dublin

Oh yeah totally agree 😢
Descubri este maravilloso grupo hace cuatro años en un viaje a Dublín. Desde entonces no he dejado de escucharlos y disfrutarlos. Hoy me entero de la muerte de Christy, que pena! RIP genio
Really sad 😔
Days after Christy died, my friend Ciaran Mallon died suddenly in his sleep. He was 36, but touched the lives of so many people He was Belfast's Spider-Man, a trade unionist, a father, a friend and overall a great human being.
36, Jesus. Sorry for your loss.

The best ever, a true genuine normal guy, that sang with a brilliant band of brothers ❤
These are the hands of a tired man
This is the old man's shroud
These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
Staring at the maddening crowd
This is the face of a teenage mother
This is the child she bears
This is the soul of her broken lover
Searching for the smiles they shared
These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
And in his book of punished love
You see his eyes, you see no surprise
Waiting for a lie that's true
Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
(Wasting your life away)
These are the dreams of a sleeping father
And in his long lost days
He sees a child
He sees his eyes
Waiting for the price he's paid
These are the tears of a fallen idol
And in his smile of shattered love
You see his eyes
You see no surprise
You just see lights then realise
Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
(Wasting your life away)
Oh here with you
There's no one here like you
And no one moves like you
Nobody touches like you
Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down
You stop you look you're searching, you stop you look you're searching
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down
Thank you.
This is one of the greatest performances of all time - the emotion, the voice, the music, the atmosphere...simply legendary. Thinking of you Christy and praying for a miracle xxx

Sadly, Natalia, Christy Dignam died today.
To the first one up there Happy Christmas you will never know until we meet again…:
Not a camera phone in sight. Just a crowd living for the moment. The way it should be.
No such thing in 1999
A voice to define a generation of Dubliners. We are all with you Christy. We love you ❤.
Met an Irish girl when I was working in Channel Islands Jersey Linda her name was ... she put me onto aslan Made in dublin album. It has been one of my all time faves since 2001 , superb album and IMHO easily there best offering. ❤
Wonderful! the audience is central to Christy's sound system and what superb team mates! Rest in Power Christy. 💚
Pure and utter class, no phones to be seen just people enjoying a concert the way it should be
The first thing I thought when I seen the crowd...not a phone in site ;))
Ye it used to be lighters 😂😂👍
Well this was from 1999, so that's why there no phones!!
I hate being at concerts when all people do is watch it through the phone!!
He was truly loved, thanks for the memories Christy, goodnight and God bless you 🙏😔
What a song... as good as anything U2 ever did. RIP Christy Dignam 🙏
Keep battling away Christy.
Sang like an angel, Battled like a Hero. Met Christy at harrys bar many years ago, a gentleman and an icon RIP Christy.
Reading everyone's comments has me in floods listening to this.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear Christy say that he's dying and can't pay his mortgage, people think because he's an Irish celebrity, he most be loaded, he's a strong man, with a beautiful wife and family behind him, hopefully he'll pull through, he's being through so much, and we're all rooting for him 💙❤♥
I'll say a prayer
That means a lot
In Ireland
Loves you christy
Rock on
His honestly is what makes him. I have such admiration for his outlook on life! Can't keep a good man down so I know hel be ok!
how’s he doing now ?
@@wesleyvickers3490

Christy dignum aslan look up crazy world by aslan
What a brilliant singer Christy was !! was in dublin over from england and seen him live years ago in dublin will never forgot it!! thanks for a memorable night Christy may god bless you 🙏 you dublin legend 🇨🇮 🕯
I was fifteen working in the Royal Oak bar in Finglas, all the band drank there, so down to earth. We had Aslan watches, tshirts the lot-after EMI signed them up and they threw a party one day.
One day my good friend and I were in Brussels Bar in Temple bar meeting my friends pen pal from Cork who was visiting Dublin. Aslan came on the radio and we were saying how we knew them and how they drank in our bar, Corky was thinking we were full of shit then Joe Jewel walks over all leathered up and like he just walked straight off a Depeche Mode album cover photo shoot, pats us on the back and buys us a round of drinks singing our praises.
The good old days when life was simple.
Thanks for the video.
Wow
Nice connection
That's the Irish
Down to earth
Rock on lads
Great story. I know the Royal Oak so well , I'm a North Dub and proud💙 🇮🇪
A pen pal from Cork! That is megatastically phenomenal...
I was there right in front of him - massive part of my young life - you fought an amazing fight and with absolute dignity Christy. Sleep well my brother. ❤
Got to meet him bout 15 years ago at a gig at Hush nightclub at the time. Me and 2 of my friends knew every single word of the Vicar street album . Of course cause us 3 lunatics where giving it socks he loved it and took time after to talk with us and take pictures and all . Absolutely beautiful soul and great artist . R.I.P Christy
still here in 2021 nothing better to listen to anyway
I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this. Or of the number of times it has saved me. xx
hope all is well my fellow goat
Same here pet xx
What a great song never gets old
Respect.......
Some performance from the legend 👏
I first heard them last during a drunken covid night with RUclips 😂
Really don’t understand how I never heard or seen them in the last 40 years.
Well done very. Good band ok
The same strange thing !Amazing performance !
Have 2 know if ur from here b4 I give you stick if ur not from here you get a pass😂😂👍
@@eoinmaguire6691 not that far away 😃 top of Scotland 😊🍻
@@weechill333 Yeah near enough to get bit of stick 😂 It's been said that if Christy hadn't got such bad drug problems they could of been as big as U2?? I partied with Christy back in the 90ees and he was one wild fucker but one of the best bands I've ever seen, Saw them loads of times in all types of venues here in Dublin and never a bad gig, Should goggle to see if and when there touring and if there near ya I'd really recommend you 2 go?? Obviously not as young as they were like us all but they still put on a cracker of a show👍
2022 still relevant to us from Dublin.. YUP THE CHRISTY, listening from Scotland,can't count the amount of Scots I've got listening to Made In Dublin .... Glasgow gig please 🙌🍀
Ballyfermot 🎆✨🎇♦️🏍
Oh man christy your the singer the main man but yet you show and let the crowd feel or know that it's there song... That's why you are so special... The impact you have on your audience not many people can do that
Exceptional. Singing live. Brilliant. God Rest Him. Condolences to his family and friends.
RIP Christy, your music and voice got me through some of the roughest times in life. One of the best singers to come out of ireland

Rip man this is one of the best live performances i have seen he will be missed
Most under rated band ever. RIP to a true Irish legend.
2021, 57 and only just discovered this magic. Fabulous band, song and performance. Would have loved to have been there.
Played it to my wife and that silky voice melted her heart. 🎶🍻
Only found this group about 10 years ago, as a frequent traveller to Ireland these guys are royalty, totally understand why, Christy Dignam is an amazing singer and someone who has been through much, keep going as long as possible x
Check out this video of Aslan ruclips.net/video/Ev4dPqxFu1g/видео.html
Grew up with this guy my mother and father hung around with christys mother and father
before they got married ,and they moved to finglas together as married couples then as ,ķids we grew up together
Great times
Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame cites Aslan as a major influence on him.In this song you can really get what influenced him coming through.
When I moved back to Dublin in the 90’s having been gone for many years, my brother in law David brought me to see Aslan at the ‘noggin inn. I had never heard of them but was blown away by how good they were and by what a showman and brilliant singer Christy was! A fan for ever after that, and by the way, U2’s tribute to Aslan with their version of this song is also brilliant in a different way and has created a path for new fans around the world to discover Aslan’s music. RIP Christy!
No better frontman in any band anywhere than Christy Dignam. Loved by everyone, will be missed enormously. Slán, Christy. (R.I.P.)
I couldn't love this song any more than I do right now! Stunning performance, hard-hitting lyrics - some of the words bring an old acquaintance to mind and I end up smiling like a fool!! :) x

The Lad on the Bass is class he ties the whole song together. Legend
I was going to say. The harmonies are perfect aswell.
He's playing a fretless and is absolutely smashing it.
Anyone know who he is?
Tony mcguiness on bass
A sad loss for his family and friends and but heaven is gaining a true showman and angle RIP Christy
Karma. Your next life will not have the pain of this one.
Cheers Christy. I regularly come back to watch this performance.
What a voice one of our greatest Christy your Irish legend may u get the best bed in heaven I seen aslan so many times what a band my favourite look down on your Ireland xxx
Christy Dignam is like a runway steward in Dublin Airport after a few pick me ups ! The hand movements are incredible
It’s sign language, I think!
Best band to have ever come out of Ireland. An absolute hero and won’t be forgotten
My dad brought me to see aslan play in dublin Airport in the 90s I was about 10 years of age. I'm 38 now and still listening to them
I was there too!
Get goosebumps every time I listen to this. Seen Aslan live in Kilarney once and was brought to tears by such a powerful performance 💚 Well done 💚
Blazing up a few to this 🍁🍁
I share the goosebumps, my bucket list if Christy hangs in there, that sounds bad sorry. Absolutely amazing son as group
Rest in paradise Christy, Thank you for the music and the memories that went along with it xx
