This is THE song ❤ I saw them play in a small school hall in 1973 when I was 14, they came to Inis Oirr, smallest of the Aran Islands, birthplace of my Mother. I'm 62 now, I will never ever forget that night, it was magical.
1995 was the first time a friend of mine brought me to The West Coast of Clare.. Haven't seen her for 25yrs. I'm now in foreign lands. Wonderful memories. A McCormack....... From Kinvara, Galway.
Love county Clare. Took my children there when they were small. They loved the Burren & the beaches, the Ailwee caves. Beautiful place, beautiful song. Saw Planxty in Belfast in 1975.
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief Memories I have of you Won't leave me in peace My mind was running back To the west coast of Clare Thinking of you And the times we had there I walked to Spanish Point I knew I'd find you there I stood on the white strand You were everywhere Vivid memories fade But the mood still remains I wish I could go back And be with you again In Milltown there's a pub It's there that I sat down I see you everywhere Your face is all around The search for times past Contains such sweet pain I'll banish lonesome thoughts But they'll return again I walk along the shore The rain in my face My mind is numb with grief Of you there is no trace I'll think of this again In far off lands I roam Walking with you Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief Memories I have of you Won't leave me in peace My mind was running back To the west coast of Clare Thinking of you And the times we had there
Listening to this in Brisbane Australia, had a ticket to go back in 2020. It’s 2022 and hope to get to get back to Clare in 2023. Last time there I was sitting on the steps in the square watching a spinning wheel turn. That was in 1977, the year before I emigrated. I’d like to play in a session in Ennis again, I’ll have a tin whistle (but my fiddle will be left in Brisbane). Something to look forward to.
I am German and love Irish music since 45 years. This song melts all stress away from me every time I listen to it. Beautiful and sad at the same time.
I studied with some Irish guys in London in 1979, or thereabouts.They were training to be priests. They introduced me to Ireland, Planxty and Guinness. I worked in Belfast for a couple of months at the end of that year and went down to a music festival in the South where Planxty were playing. What a memory, what a time . I,m now in New Zealand and look back to those days with some sadness.
Thanks Graham..Always remember in your melancholy thoughts of them times than they never die,and will always be, so long as we keep them alive in our thoughts and music☘
Beautiful sound I love that tune so much brings right back to the glory days of folk in the seventies. I feel so lucky to have such great memories of the time.Each one of them were brilliant. RIP Liam O Flynn.
This song reminds me of my friend Alan who would spend every summer in Clare. He died a few years ago, and every time I want to feel close to him, I play this beautiful song. Thank you Andy
Heard this for the first time tonight, on the eve of my 30th birthday, came home arseholed from the bar my Da put this dvd on, it sobered me up a bit then me old man got the whiskey out and when I heard this it blew me away, couldn't fight the tears away. Jaysus what a beautiful song.
There's drinking, and then there's drinking. There's fun, and then there's the nourishing of your soul. Treasure the times with your da. We're here for such a short time.
I have been a huge fan of Andy since I first heard him.singing with Planxty at a gig in Co.Roscommon way back in the 80s. His voice is so haunting and unique . I never tire of listening to this beautiful love song.
Surely one of the most beautiful songs ever. And written by a man who isthemost brilliant musician as well. What a man . I remember playing thison my tinwhistle on arock in west clare with the wind howling x the waves lashing . Over 60 years ago
I was only about 6 r 7 yrs old when I first heard this. I am now 57 yrs. Living in Nigeria. But there's not a night will pass that I do not listen to this music. Well done planxty ye r all legends.
This song always makes me so sad,all the prople I have known and loved,who are now gone from this world,until we meet again, my love still lives for you.
These guys and this line up kept me dreaming through some very dark times in.this my.countrys sojourn. Between.T.Lizzy, Moving Hearts, Plantxy, Scullion, and my Ma beating the rosary into my heathen soul I emigrated to be the "brave new world" of America....aaay. The constant during those wilderness years was my dream iof.that western seaboard croft and a few creamy.pints now and again. Ireland has moved in a direction that neither my grandfathers nor I could ever have envisioned.
Damien, your post invites a reply, all those singers and groups about in an Ireland of bad times, do you recall Moving Hearts and what they sang about? But the music was great, I had the cassette of the great Planxty black LP. I've this song on my headphones; lovely.
dad died in 2004,him and mum used to take us on hols to all the places andy mentions in the song in clare,you think he wrote it in memory,the year it came out,beautiful song,and its good to cry at any age.
More than magic - infinitesimal beauty. My wife, her Mum and Dad and I spent a short time at Spanish Point in 1978 - Unbelievable. I can feel it now 42 years later . Time has no presence when beauty prevails forever. Love and forgiveness
This makes me think of my father, after my mother died. He went through grief and remorse partly because he knew he didn't always treat my mother well. And now he knows he's all alone. When my mother died, I saw her face everywhere and I went through tremendous grief and remorse. I didn't love her enough when she was still alive.
Your mother is watching over you and she loves you and she knows every hair on your head. Couple of years after my mother-in-law died I was living in her apartment sitting on the sofa and I had two or three kids and they were in the room in the back it was evening and I had the kids and got married to her son after she passed away all of a sudden I smelled for a split-second her perfume so I never forgot that she came to looking on us and to give me the knowledge that we don't die she let me know she was watching over me and her son and our children in her home. That was the greatest gift I ever got from anyone in my life was proof of Life after we die
Andy is one of the few BARDS!! No words can describe his emotion's, the way he does the song, and the spirituality and Irish deep, deep, love of our country and the ancient songs and stories. I was lucky to see Planxty in the point. I was very happy to see David Bowie live too! Enjoy this beautiful music and the beautiful Andy Irvine. xxx
This is the most beautiful, heartfelt music I have heard in a very long long time. Thank you, you wonderful men and do keep singing and playing. You have so much to offer and joy that you give for your songs. Magnificent!
One of the best love songs ever written along with "time will cure me", Andy is a true songwriter, he has an incredible ability to touching souls with his music
It's been a long time since a piece of music leaves me in an almost hypnotic state. This one moved me to tears. Just gorgeous. Go raibh míle maith agath.
Andy ,congratulations on a beautiful evocative song ,delivered with your unique voice....All we had before this were the Ceili bands and the Showbands ..we of a certain age owe so much to Planxty and Horslips and Rory................................
@@dbarnwell8224 I dont regard them with disdain .rather as a stepping stone ,neither the Ceili Bands or the Showbands !!They kept the flame burning and I believe that Horslips and Planxty ,the Bothy Band,Thin Lizzy picked up that baton and through their interpretation brought that old music to a new generation .....................thus giving it new life.
No words can do justice to this music. Makes me smile, cry, reminisce, hope and much, much more. I have spent many nights alone with Planxty and those nights have been some of my happiest.
ffsf said that Andy is a genius, if you want me to disagree I can not help you, this mans wepons are his voice, his words, his thought and his playing, those are the weapons that that can not be ever beaten, they will stand the test of time.
I've always wanted to visit the west coast of County Clare and County Kerry, where my father's family came from. It doesn't look like that's going to happen, but hearing this lovely music gives me a connection. Thanks for posting..
Love songs to places instead of people always hit different. Personifying the beauty of West Clare is the most remarkable song of all time (in my opinion). The words are incredible.
Pain being the expression of humanity through song, Andy through your music I feel your pain but at the same time humbled, its a beautiful pain because of your music. thoughtful intellect. Thankyou
Before it was a helpless reminder of unrequited love lost, but I didn't get it then. Now, many decades later, the pain is a small price to pay, it allows for re-living a time together with a dearly departed. Vivid memories fade, but the mood still remains.
@@belfastsoul8863 you are saying nice things about my homeland, Joyce country, I completely agree with you, it sinks deep into your soul and mind and will not let go no matter where you wander, it still remains in your bones
Andy is such a musical treasure who is one of my favorites. His love of Woody Guthrie, Irish traditional and Eastern European music has created a one of a kind musician. His mastery of the Irish Bouzouki and mandolin along with such a gifted voice has been our good fortune. From Sweeney’s Men,Planxty,Patrick Street, Mozaik and solo albums he has given us a rich body of music to enjoy. Songs of the road, social issues, love and historical themes his body of work is our good fortune to listen to and enjoy. I have many musical heroes but Andy is a standout. Planxty with the likes of Andy, Christy Moore, Donal Lunny and the late Liam O’Flynn gave us some of Ireland’s finest performers still to this day.
It would be beautiful, if it didn't contain so much truth and pain...I love it though it's been breaking me heart for 40 years. Andy you nailed it with this song mate!
+KierOg Absolutely agree 100%. Every time I hear this song, something inside me twists knife-like, then aches with a profound feeling of loss - no matter what my life circumstances might be. I first heard it in the 70's and since that fateful day I must have listened to it hundreds of times.... and it has the same effect on me today as it did all those lost years ago. Your comment, KierOg, seems pretty much the definitive one .
I know that feeling KierOg!! Sadness and Sorrow, but Joy as well . Hope??!!! God bless all xxxxx The west Coast of Cork is a place of thinking too!! Let's just stop maudling and swim in the beautiful Atlantic!!! xx
Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny (Andy in particular) are, imo, the most important people in the evolution, revival and retention of interest in trad music in Ireland beginning in the late 60s & early 70s. Musicians who have followed since, and indeed us, the listeners, owe them a huge gratitude for the preservation of one of the most important parts of our culture, our music. Go raibh maith agaibh.
Thankfully I managed to see Andy just before lockdown last year and he's still doing great stuff. I know I am going to be accused of "heresy" here and whilst I have 4 different recordings of the song by Andy as I love it so much, I still say the best ever version is by Geraldine MacGowan with Chris Jones on guitar (RIP Chris), which is just absolute perfection. Can't wait to be back in Clare for the live sessions again this year after all this pandemic madness. RIP Liam and thank you so much for giving all so much joy over so many years. We miss you man.
I went to one of these comeback concerts at Vicar Street - I used a MiniDisc recorder covertly to record it. Quality was nearly as good as the Official CD(Which I bought as well.....) It was a Magical night and atmosphere...... They were all on thier A Game - Liam Og O'Flynn on pipes and Whistle was fantastic and I don't think I have ever heard Andy or particularly Christy Moore sing better........ Good Memories 😊

This is, by far, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Andy is a genius, is he not?
Yes, he is!
They are geniuses all 4 of them and it is their interaction that will make Planxty's music stand out forever.
He is!!!
He is.
True genius!
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief
Memories I have of you
Won't leave me in peace
My mind was running back
To the west coast of Clare
Thinking of you
And the times we had there
I walked to Spanish Point
I knew I'd find you there
I stood on the white strand
You were everywhere
Vivid memories fade
But the mood still remains
I wish I could go back
And be with you again
In Milltown there's a pub
It's there that I sat down
I see you everywhere
Your face is all around
The search for times past
Contains such sweet pain
I'll banish lonesome thoughts
But they'll return again
I walk along the shore
The rain in my face
My mind is numb with grief
Of you there is no trace
I'll think of this again
In far off lands I roam
Walking with you
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief
Memories I have of you
Won't leave me in peace
My mind was running back
To the west coast of Clare
Thinking of you
And the times we had there
Though many miles away, I've been there a thousand times in my mind and heart. 😢

Bloody hell. This is the song. Anyone with a heart. I grew up listening to them. Always come back here. Great writer.
You don''t have to be Irish to love Planxty! Never knew so many people enjoyed them so much. Great song, thanks for posting this.

Graham Bull It's still there pal, go and retrace it. I left Eire 7 years ago, this song has hit me. I'm going for a tour again soon.
Thanks Graham..Always remember in your melancholy thoughts of them times than they never die,and will always be, so long as we keep them alive in our thoughts and music☘
Look back in joy we are an amazing race
Not sadness. I hope it's more like wistfulness. Sadness would be if you never heard of the spend in your life
This magic is still alive in Ireland , you may have to search for it but it won't be too far away from you . Peace from

Beautiful , I could never get tired of that song and Andy’s wonderful voice , it seeps into your soul !❤

Before it was a helpless reminder of unrequited love lost, but I didn't get it then. Now, many decades later, the pain is a small price to pay, it allows for re-living a time together with a dearly departed. Vivid memories fade, but the mood still remains.
