He died years ago! We got three albums out of him and got to see his genius after that he was an addict and the drink especially ruined him like it does to any chronic alcoholic
I get the chills "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 "
I was 20 in 1985, from a merseyside irish family, met loads of folk like me from england, scotland, ireland etc.,all living away from home in London,, we found the pogues. Wow
You've also maintaned your Irish surname. 😊 Comes from Rua (red) as Gaeilge. Love Merseyside and the northwest generally. Home of so much great music, many of which are also from Irish backgrounds.
Oh so may of us do....an absolute genius. The Pogues will live on long after we are all gone...and so will Shane McGowan's legacy...just like the Broad Majestic Shannon.
NEVER MIND : he is what HE IS. Never mind the idiots who are UNAWARE of his genuine and BIG "Art". Shane and his groupe are enormous artists. That is all. THe ones who have no brain to see it have NO right to listen to them !
Absolute Genius. I remember hearing him back in 1985. I was 18 and I fell in love with his music. He was more than a song write, a poet. How many people who listened to the Pogues became interested in traditional Irish music. A true ambassador to Irish music and culture. Listening to music got me interested in reading Yeats, Joyce and T.S. Elliot. Brilliant and will be miss.
Sounds so simple. But no-one else can do it. Buddy Holly, Bob Marley, Shane McGowan - kings of the simple song that no-one else can do and that wraps me up in tears, love, joy, amazement, and beautiful disbelief.
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
GOD BLESS THE POGUES !! HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU STILL BE ALIVE SHANE I SAW YOU IN THE 80S AND YOU LOOKED FUCKED THEN IVE SEEN YOU COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE AND EVERY TIME YOU LOOK WORSE BUT THAT VOICE IS STILL THERE !! WHO ARE THE 6 FOOLS THAT DISLIKE THIS !! ONE WORD WASTERS !! KEEP ON ROCKING SHANE WE WILL MISS YOU WHEN YOUR GONE
What a voice ! What words! making the universal out of the everyday, That’s Art, isn’t it? It's not given to everyone to know how to do that, and it affects us all thanks Shane
Dunno.. but apart from the great music Shane did, a whole own class imo, his looks make him appearing kinda sympathetic. He appears to me like a pleasent person to have around. Makes it even more enjoyable to listen to those songs.
@karmapeach The band has been around for like 100 years, and people are still going on about Shane. He is not misunderstood, that was like 15 years ago. Today, he is known as one of the great Irish poets. One of the greats among Keats, Joyce and the rest of them. So please stop and enjoy the poet instead.
Enjoy the 09 'US Tour you guys, love from Waterford, Ireland, a stone's throw from Shane McGowan's birthplace. We look forward to the annual Pogues Christmas Tour here every year. Slanté.
beautiful song. always think of my exgf when i hear it. me & her saw shane & co. in atlanta a few years ago. was amazing. unfortunately missed a song or two when we had a drunken row. i cursed her out & she knocked my beer on the ground.
What a VOICE!! And the way he hangs onto the mic stand like it's keeping him alive long enough to sing the song.... Shane you had the voice of a (slightly demented/addled) angel... You better be singing when i get to heaven..."there's no more pain/no more sorrow"
@MrRoebert I dont know about a pub, but I bet there will be a great seafood place. When Jesus came back and visited his homies in J-town (Jeruslem for the uninitiated) he went straight for some grilled fish and bread. I'll probably open a macdonalds franchise if someone else hasnt beat me to it ;)
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow. They're all gone, gone with the years. ~ RIP Shane
Can't believe he's gone . 💔 I've loved Shane since I was a kid . God Bless you my friend 🙏 😊❤
He died years ago! We got three albums out of him and got to see his genius after that he was an addict and the drink especially ruined him like it does to any chronic alcoholic
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow. What a songwriter. What a loss.
I get the chills
"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 "
Joyce would love his lyrics.

RIP, you legend
Oh so may of us do....an absolute genius. The Pogues will live on long after we are all gone...and so will Shane McGowan's legacy...just like the Broad Majestic Shannon.
People don,t understand or appreciate how talented Shane is.
A great writer and a very misunderstood Genius.
NEVER MIND : he is what HE IS. Never mind the idiots who are UNAWARE of his genuine and BIG "Art". Shane and his groupe are enormous artists. That is all. THe ones who have no brain to see it have NO right to listen to them !
The mans a poet
Don't hear song like his been wrote anymore..he put his mark on his songwriting.And his lyrics nothing but a genius 🍀💚

You be sadly missed old stock 😢💚🍀from Wexford Ireland.peot songwriter singer frontman,A, genius PUNK 😎R.I.P Shane 🍀
Un grande,muy escuchado en Euskal Herria(pais vasco),un referente irlandes.
Shane goes back into the soil and soul of Irish music, of folk music, of every music, gpes back in and nourishes the future
no changes there .....
This song makes me cry, Bono could never to that with a song. The Pogues songs have real guts and
emotion. So 1,2,3,14 that Bono.
I bet Bono started wearing sunglasses because he saw Shane doing it first.
Perfect song fit for people who long for their childhood memories, the place in their heart where they remain kids forever!
Or: just a good song, despite your strange analysis.
such a legend. what a voice.. see the joy in the crowd. Lends a comfort to millions..
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
I wish I'd been a fan of Irish songs back in the '80s and '90s. These guys are GREAT!!!
Its my favourite song of alltime. The situation he describes in the song is bound to appeat in all our lives someday
my absolute favourite song of a legendary band.
same here buddy
GOD BLESS THE POGUES !! HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU STILL BE ALIVE SHANE I SAW YOU IN THE 80S AND YOU LOOKED FUCKED THEN IVE SEEN YOU COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE AND EVERY TIME YOU LOOK WORSE BUT THAT VOICE IS STILL THERE !! WHO ARE THE 6 FOOLS THAT DISLIKE THIS !! ONE WORD WASTERS !! KEEP ON ROCKING SHANE WE WILL MISS YOU WHEN YOUR GONE
What a voice !
What words!
making the universal out of the everyday,
That’s Art, isn’t it?
It's not given to everyone to know how to do that,
and it affects us all
thanks Shane
Rip Shane, one of my fav songs
The man with the GOLDEN VOICE.🙏🏼🎖️🏅🏆🥇🪙☘️💚🇮🇪🌈
'Heard the men callin from the fair at shinrone, their hearts in Tipperary wherever they roam'....What a song...what a place...simply the best !!!!
The Pogues with Shane- the best forever and ever and ever.
Just divine 👌🏻
Dunno.. but apart from the great music Shane did, a whole own class imo, his looks make him appearing kinda sympathetic. He appears to me like a pleasent person to have around. Makes it even more enjoyable to listen to those songs.
Gone but never forgotten
Im glad it was Spider, Phil, the fellas called The Pogues that put Shanes lyrics/poetry to music.
Shane Macgowan performs... He's got the soul... though I'm not irish, I really love this band... May God bless The Pogues!!! Cheers!
One of my favourite songs, brilliant!
The Broad Majestic MacGowan!
Wow I miss knowing his shambolic energy is in the world, not to mention that VOICE!! 🙏💕🙏
Beautiful.
Yeah man, the Lyrics are for real..more meaningfull than Dylan if you ask me..
Shane, I'll always love you

Of course he isn't gone! Us Irish are tough to kill.
So simple that it will keep you up all life long saying: "What brilliance!"
SHANE, I LOVE YOU!
If I were forced at gunpoint to choose my very favourite Pogues song - because I hate to choose - I think this would be the one. 💚
Was das kleine Irland, dieser katholische Furunkel am Arsch der Welt, der Menschheit für eine Musik gegeben hat... Wahnsinn...😂😂😂
I saw the pogues from 1985 battersea park free gig til 2014 at norfolk forest n shane at liverpool feis 2018

She did well. i knew a girl who simply threw the beer at some man's face. EVEN BETTER ! ha, ha !

class
i did, and believe me i miss those times!!!
What a VOICE!! And the way he hangs onto the mic stand like it's keeping him alive long enough to sing the song....
Shane you had the voice of a (slightly demented/addled) angel...
You better be singing when i get to heaven..."there's no more pain/no more sorrow"
a true compliment to the irish race
there's no pain, there's no more sorrow...
Chills.Every time.
So beautiful! :o)
Pure Quality 👌 Unique ❤ We Will Always Love You SHANE GRH ❤🎉🍀🇨🇮🙏
Beautiful lyrics. Always loved this one. Mr MacGowan at his finest.
Fcukin Class
❤
Sleep well, you beautiful rascal. Thanks for the music
if there is a heaven and a pub there, then surely shane will be the one to run it :)
@MrRoebert I dont know about a pub, but I bet there will be a great seafood place. When Jesus came back and visited his homies in J-town (Jeruslem for the uninitiated) he went straight for some grilled fish and bread. I'll probably open a macdonalds franchise if someone else hasnt beat me to it ;)
Fuck the teeth,..sure he can eat anyway..at leat he can drink..one of the greatest ever..Shane..forever
I'm sorry if I came across as an idiot and I take back what I said
I so wish I coulda gotta piecea Shane when he was young n' in his prime ;-)
Sounds like fairytale of New York
