Seeing Kirsty's smile at the three minute mark and then the crowd singing along with her will always bring a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful moment. RIP Kirsty and Shane.
So I'm sitting here on Christmas Eve and I miss them all. What a stupid feeling: nostalgia. Obviously I'm not the only one in the world who still feels this way. Tell me I'm right.

Just as a sad aside but one that many people should be aware of: The wonderful Kirsty MacColl must certainly today be an Angel for what she did in December 2000: While vacationing in Mexico & diving/swimming in a restricted area (for boats) MacColl saw a speeding boat come towards her sons before her sons did; while 13-year old Louis was not in the boat's path Kirsty saw that her 15-year old Jamie was in its path. Kirsty's quick thinking & instincts resulted in her successfully pushing Jamie out of the way of the speeding boat -- but, Kirsty was struck and killed. She saved her son's life. It's what a mother does. I always admired Kirsty for that tragic bravery...I know I won't forget her.
I knew Kristy had passed, but I wasn't aware that it was in so tragic a manner. I will always love her "He's On The Beach". I joined the Navy in '79 for the explicit purpose of seeing Australia. The Navy, however, had different plans. Consequently, I didn't get there until 2005!!! But when I did get there, as I headed from the airport in Brisbane to the place where I was staying, I was blasting "He's On The Beach" on my mp3. Thanks Kristy, you're the best!
His face @2:48 Kirsty had bad stage fright throughout her career and Shane asking mid-way through the song "Not going too bad huh"? It's a lovely little moment.
@@eoinreilly3925 ..and another billionaire got away with murder! Mexican justice, rarely resembles actual justice, especially when the owner of one of the country's supermarket chains is involved.
@@eoinreilly3925 I did not know about this, you gave me one more bad news of this scumbaggy 2020, I attach it to 2020, because I did not know and because it doe not make 2020 any worse, it cannot be.
My daughter was born on December 25 in Spain, the same day as Shaun. This song shows that music is a universal language. When I listen to it I feel completely happy. May God keep Shane for many years and take care of Kirsty like an angel.
listening to this today ... I can feel a lump in my throat ..i feel the sorrow of loosing this artist.. RIP Shane .. you gifted us this absolute beauty .
Wouldnt it be an absolutely fitting tribute to Shane & Kirsty if they re issued this song for Christmas this year? A sure number ONE hit! The profits to go to a homeless charity or under privileged kids A TRUE CLASSIC PEACE & GOODWILL TO EVERYONE LOVE 🇬🇧👧
Kirsty McCall was so special and hugely underrated imo.. I miss her. May both RIP and carry on creating and performing in some parallel universe. Loved the both
I remember hearing this beautiful song the first time many years ago at the old Harp and Shamrock in Chicago.. It was a winter night and it was snowing at the time and I was downing several Guinness just looking out the bar window and thinking how perfect that moment was..RIP. Shane and Kirsty..thanks for the memories
+Carol o'byrne You are lucky to have experienced that live ... I loved Kirsty since A New England, sadly I didn't get the chance to ever see her performing live ... and this song has been my most favourite Christmas song ever!
Even though the sadness of losing Shane and Kirsty am in total gratitude that I was on this planet the in the same lifetime as them ...R.I.P. you beautiful souls your always in our hearts and memories 😢
There are not many songs where every time you listen to it, it feels like the first time. This and 'Whole of the Moon' are two that I can listen to over and over again without ever being bored.
@@TheVeek192 there's always that one asshole that has to ruin everything by being an overtechnical salty bitch. I doubt OP was being serious. Opinion is ALWAYS implied when someone says something is the best, unless they're fucking mentally ill. It's called "hyperbole" you fucking twit.
Brings an emotional tear every time ,I could have become this character but saved by a beautiful girl called Di who rescued me from a downward spiral I still have my demons but not destructive,I hope Shane gives Kirsty a big cuddle up in heaven RIP
This song is one of the great unknowns of popular music It has spent more time in the British music charts than any other song. Voted this year...the most popular Cristmas song of all time. God bless.... thank you Kirsty RIP.
Heard it on the radio the other day while polishing concrete floors. On Swedish radio mind you. But I fell directly for it and added it to my Christmas list. Pce from Sweden
Hello Mel I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you…. Happy new year 🌹🌹
Beautiful 🥺 The lyrics, the tune, the way it is sung is just perfect. Shane McGowan is nothing short of a genius by writing this song. He also found the perfect person to duet with in Kirsty McColl. This was a once in a lifetime event that can never be replicated... Best christmas song of all time 🥺🥺🥺
Your talent outlives you and so special to hear your wonderful music. R.I.P. Shane MacGowan and will always continue to play Fairytale of New York every Christmas
This song will hit very differently this Christmas now that both Shane and Kirsty are no longer with us.
And on stage Daryl Hunt, and Philip Chevron as well. Very sad but they are performing again together.
Ik, this is in a way a childhood song because I have heard this song on Christmas every year I've been alive
😢❤
Gone but never forgotten. R.I.P🙏🩷😇
The woke brigade will offend everyone and take out the word faggot
Anyone else listen to this song all year round?
Me
Same
Same
yuppers
RIP Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl….hope they’re singing this song for the Heavens this season and beyond. 💚🎄☘️
Rest in peace, Shane. The world won't ever see a talent like yours ever again.
Thank you r.i.p.😅
He's like a tonedeaf drunk grunting. Pretty sure there are plenty of them.
Very True thorny 🌹 Rose millions of them
@@ThornyRoseVhis talent was in his beautiful songwriting and poetic lyrics
he was pure class. He didn´t give an eff@@ThornyRoseV
Thanks Shane and Kirsty. You are both missed and loved.
Seeing Kirsty's smile at the three minute mark and then the crowd singing along with her will always bring a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful moment. RIP Kirsty and Shane.
Yes.
Got it
Shane and Kirsty reunited , the angels will be dancing this Christmas ❤
Well said.
So I'm sitting here on Christmas Eve and I miss them all. What a stupid feeling: nostalgia.

You're absolutely right! Merry Christmas from the great Southern Land 🎉🎉🇦🇺

Вы безусловно правы,сэр.Очень скучаю по Шейну и Кирсти
It's my best Chrismas song ever.I really miss you.

Remember that news day. The song has always been tinged with a bit of sadness since then 😔

CaesarInVa it’s Kirsty........
Rip Kirsty 😪
Thirty plus years later, this is still the Pogues (and Kirsty's) best know song. And to be brutally honest, I never tire of hearing this!
This is my first Christmas song I listen to every year and also through the year it is a absolute classic ❤
This and streets of London are ethernal christmas hits, because of the message.
Very few songs are instantly timeless. This is one of them. RIP Kristy and Shane.
THE best Christmas song there will ever be
Shane and Kirsty singing in heaven another beautiful fairy tale. God bless and rest n peace
who is still listening to this song in 2020 still christmas no.1 song in 2020
me
Ryan Beatty me love this song it is my favourite Christmas song 🎄🎄🎄

And the bells are ringing out for shane today. Bless him 😢. Rest in paradise Shane 💕
So sad both have passed on. Let’s hope this gets to number one in the charts
This song is a classic. Nothing beats it. Thank you Shane and Kirsty. RIP.
His face @2:48 Kirsty had bad stage fright throughout her career and Shane asking mid-way through the song "Not going too bad huh"? It's a lovely little moment.
RIP Kirsty MacColl, who died saving her children.
A true hero. RIP Kirsty
She's so Brave.
A true human hero.
Class act.
Never forget her and how she died! A lot of her singer collegues asked to investigate the circumstances of her dead.

R.I.P. KIRSTY. STILL THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS SONG OF ALL TIME.
How they die
@@CPG_LYONZ Kirsty,
Murdered!!
@@eoinreilly3925 ..and another billionaire got away with murder! Mexican justice, rarely resembles actual justice, especially when the owner of one of the country's supermarket chains is involved.

Surely no doubt now that this is the best Christmas song ever recorded? RIP Kirsty and Shane.
Finest Christmas song of the modern era. RIP Shane. You were a hell of a character.
Farewell to Shane MacGowan. He earned his unique place in the pantheon of great Irish writers.
To misquote Brendan Behan (another alcoholic genius), Shane McGowan was a drinker with a singing problem.
@smhorse he was a brilliant Irish poet, with a unique and excellent voice, RIP shane 🇮🇪 ❤
Christmas 2023 how many are still listening to this brilliant song rip Kirsty and Shane , Shirley h Darlington England 🌹✌️✋👌❤️💐🌺
My daughter was born on December 25 in Spain, the same day as Shaun. This song shows that music is a universal language. When I listen to it I feel completely happy. May God keep Shane for many years and take care of Kirsty like an angel.
A magical Christmas song. God bless Kirsty and Shane.
As ex-NYPD, always brings a tear to me eye, more so this Christmas 😢 RIP Shane & Kirsty 🙏
Thanks for your service sir all the best from England 🇬🇧 👍
Thanks for this , Sir
Keep singing galway bay brother 🏴💙
HEAVEN IS ENJOYIN' THE TUNE AS THESE TWO ANGELS ARE REUNITED!!! ✌❤
R.i.P Shane, it's so damn sad! Say hello to Kirsty up there and play, sing and dance this wonderful Christmas song with her again!
listening to this today ... I can feel a lump in my throat ..i feel the sorrow of loosing this artist.. RIP Shane .. you gifted us this absolute beauty .
Rest in peace together in a fairytale 🙏
REST IN PEACE BOTH SHANE AND KIRSTY! WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU!
When I hear this song it means to me that Christmas has started, no cover versions can do this song justice.
The version at the funeral today was amazing!
ONLY ONE CHRISTY MOORE
Mein Lieblings-Weihnachtssong... Ich hoffe, sie tanzen und singen im Himmel.
How gorgeous was Kirsty!!!!!💗💗💗💗💗
This is and will always be a musical masterpiece. Absolute classic. Rest in peace my brother, you sure did play the game.
Its delightful that this is never going to be taken down or age restricted because no AI is ever going to be able to decipher the lyrics.
Greatest christmas song ever RIP both of you👍👍
Wouldnt it be an absolutely fitting tribute to Shane & Kirsty if they re issued this song for Christmas this year?
A sure number ONE hit!
The profits to go to a homeless charity or under privileged kids
A TRUE CLASSIC
PEACE & GOODWILL TO EVERYONE
LOVE
🇬🇧👧
And all of the little snowflakes would be moaning about the lyrics...
Kirsty McCall was so special and hugely underrated imo.. I miss her. May both RIP and carry on creating and performing in some parallel universe. Loved the both
Totally agree
I remember hearing the news saying how she had died in Mexico
I couldn't believe it.
She was an amazing artist like Shane
The greatest Christmas song that ever was and ever will
I couldn't agree more
I remember hearing this beautiful song the first time many years ago at the old Harp and Shamrock in Chicago.. It was a winter night and it was snowing at the time and I was downing several Guinness just looking out the bar window and thinking how perfect that moment was..RIP. Shane and Kirsty..thanks for the memories
Rest in Peace to a complete original. Feeling proud to be Irish
What a great video. I get all teary eyed when I see McColl but now Mr MacGowan is up there with Kirsty I’ll be full blown tears. Like now.
I was in the audience that night. Fantastic experience. Oh Kirsty how you are missed.
+Carol o'byrne You are lucky to have experienced that live ... I loved Kirsty since A New England, sadly I didn't get the chance to ever see her performing live ... and this song has been my most favourite Christmas song ever!
You are so fortunate to have had that experience!
So lucky!!
Did she kill herself?
Johnny Guitar no she was killed in a boat accident
Best Christmas song ever written❤
Two Beautiful souls. This song breaks my Heart.🙏🙏❤️
Bearly a tooth in his head, half pissed into the mic but sang the greatest Christmas song ever 😂❤ To Kirsty and Shane 🍻
Breaks my heart every time when Kirsty dances with Shane. Such a beautiful lady, killed so young :(
And died so heroically! 😪
Look for the footage of him dancing with his dear old mum
RIP Shane. Thank you for the music and love to your family 🙏🏻
Don't forget Kirsty or the Horrific and Tragic way she Perished.
Shane & Kirsty singing together forever RIP
whos watching The Pogues Christmas 2019?

Ok
@@mariefrancechalande6420 Google how she died, Pretty Friggin Heartbreaking and Gruesome, Her young sons watched her Die.
A poem for the ages. Beautiful and sad, joyful and optimistic, a tale we will never tire of.
There are not many songs where every time you listen to it, it feels like the first time. This and 'Whole of the Moon' are two that I can listen to over and over again without ever being bored.
❤️Thank you Shane, thank you Kirsty, thank you The Pogues, thank you audience🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟❤️❤️❤️
GOD I LOVE THIS SONG.... A LEGACY FOR EVER AND EVER.... SADLY MISSED BOTH OF THEM.....
This has got to get to number 1 this year 😊
every year!!!
RIP Shane and Kirsty No1 no matter what 🎶🎵🎼
Hands down the greatest Christmas song, hardcore reality with a romantic side, God love the Irish and there song writing
Not just christmas song, one of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion.
Non of them were born in ireland!
@@Bobis-cx7hjnobody said they were.
@@topender5573 The OP implies it.
@@Bobis-cx7hj , Being born in a stable does not mean you're a horse. But in your case it could be a donkey. Apologies to all donkey's.
This song is almost too sad to listen to now. Such a great lyricist. RIP Shane. Thank you for all the great songs.
Best Christmas song ever. Fly high with the ancestors, Shane🙏♥️💛💚🕊️🔥🔥🔥
So gut. Danke. Ruhe in Frieden.
Thanks Sean and Kirsty and pouges rip sean may God bless you and Kirsty rip both of you 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😊😊😊😊
Shane
The best Christmas song ever? Yep.
best song ever, full stop
In YOUR opinion. You know that, right? That what you like isn't the measuring stick of the universe?
Nope, Darlen Love's Christmas (Baby Please come home) is the best followed by Tim Minchin's White Wine in the Sun.
Then this
Stiffkittens nope. This is the best xmas song ever and it’s not even close
@@TheVeek192 there's always that one asshole that has to ruin everything by being an overtechnical salty bitch.
I doubt OP was being serious. Opinion is ALWAYS implied when someone says something is the best, unless they're fucking mentally ill. It's called "hyperbole" you fucking twit.
This has to go to Christmas number one 2023 now Shane and Kirsty have sadly passed ❤️❤️
Rock it Up in Heaven Shane. Thanks for years of unique music. You'll be missed. Love to your family. A Pogues Forever Fan in Ontario.
Wonderful music indeed. RIP Shane & Kirsty.
Now they both sing for the angels.
A new Christmas is coming.....

When the angels sing this Christmas they will have 2 new amazing musicians in the choir R.I.P Shane, and kirsty too 😢
Love the loudest sing-along from the audience for " i could have been someone" --- WELL, SO COULD ANYONE !
+philwear Even if I'm not already singing along, I can't help but do the same on that line, every single time.
One of the wonders of the world is how Shane MacGowan is still alive and kicking
Daniel Williams-Exactly
Emma Clinton and the fact that Kirsty isn't. God rest
and he even SMILES On this video, never saw that before
He has a very good doctor his name is Jack.
Along with how he ever became a famous singer
Brings an emotional tear every time ,I could have become this character but saved by a beautiful girl called Di who rescued me from a downward spiral I still have my demons but not destructive,I hope Shane gives Kirsty a big cuddle up in heaven RIP
Unique Shane and The Pogues. RIP with the awesome Kirsty ❤️👍
This song is one of the great unknowns of popular music
It has spent more time in the British music charts than any other song.
