I love this song very much. The funny thing is, when my daughter first heard it, she thought that they were talking about a fairy man, not a ferryman if you get my meaning. But she finally got it when I told her and I showed her the lyrics to the song. And she's seen the video and that also helped
is this song literally about a ferryman or is the ferryman a metaphor for something deeper. even reading the lyrics without the music doesnt help explain. faceless brought me here.
In Greek mythology, Charon (or Kharon) is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead. This is what the song is referring to.
A FerryMan is someone that carries you to hell when you die. They are basically the Grim Reaper, but when you die you need to put pennies on your eyes to "pay" him.
Chris de burgh..great singer on one word

The best song ever
One of my favourite childhood songs 🖤🎶 Great song!

It's like greek mythology :) I like it 😊🖤
μπραβο ρε κοπελα μου ξερεις ν ακους μουσικη!
Another great song...yep, done good
Chris De Burgh was the one that sank the Titanic, but he did devour an Iceburg along the way. And despite all this, The Ferryman still carried him!];3
It's don't sell your soul. Don't even fix a price. Actually a very dark song
Great, love it.
The river styx and the afterlife
this was the encore, and I missed it because I was on the phone in the foyer, talking about stolen shopping carts
Love it

Look up the Greek myth "Charon"; you'll see the resemblance.
In Greek mythology, Charon (or Kharon) is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead. This is what the song is referring to.
In the Greek myths, if you pay Charon before he takes you across the river Styx then you become Charon having to ferry the souls of the dead to Hades.
it's clear...THE...ferryman...not A ferryman
A FerryMan is someone that carries you to hell when you die. They are basically the Grim Reaper, but when you die you need to put pennies on your eyes to "pay" him.
The Ferryman takes you across the river Styx,
in hell.
