Phil's goodbye song to the world, if he had one this one would have to be it. Absolutely love this song, Thin Lizzy, one of the greatest rock bands of all time PERIOD. RIP to the Irish Immortal Phil Lynott, hero's get remembered but legends never die.
This is in reference to his addiction to smack. I know cause I was there from 83-86 when I lived in Germany as a civilian. After a while you feel no hope, like theres no way out. That's what Phil is talking about. Listen to the words & the music.
This really is one hell of a song. I bet if someone else tries to play it, it would sound like a Dire Straits tune at most (and even that would be high standard). But Phil and the boys somehow walked the extra mile here to put true energy in this simple track. It literally sounds like a massive sun going down and putting the horizon on fire for one last time. An epic swansong for this incarnation of the band !
There will be only 1 Phil and 1 Thin Lizzy ! I'm so Grateful to have got to Hear their Treasured Music and even had one Johnny and the Fox album way Back ! Phill and the boys will reside right there in the Heart of Rock and Roll with the other Greats one big Rockin Juke Box !
Philo's bass playing was always top-notch as displayed on this track! Also for singing lead...Philo never missed note on the bass, besides being the Irish Warrior Poet, Phil was just fuckin' Cool and you can't teach that :-) Rock On Phil, T/L 4Life!

All the years I could have swooned listening to this, but never was treated to a listen before this channel! What a big shame.😢❤❤❤❤❤

And on top of that this was the last song on the last album ! Ironic ! Go figure !

RIP Phil. You will never be forgotten!
No, it's not whiskey in f*ing jar!
I love it.
I love the "sorry for cursing mother" even more
And “ sorry mum for cursing “
It kill me every time
He was extraordinary and his music lives amongst us….:this track is deep🥲❤️🙏🏾
He's talking about his addiction to Heroin. A shame he passed so soon.
Probably my favourite Lizzy song
"Ehh sorry for cursing mother,"
😢 gets me every time
R.I.P. both

The greatest rocker of all time. Happy birthday Phil!
Awesome, John Sykes power riff and co solo are just magic.
Scott Gorham
Saw them 1981. What a great Live Band.
You can clearly see he is talking about his past in this one. Deep in thought while sung 👍🏻.

such a legend having met you personally in 1972 you was such a nice guy I will never forget you RIP
Something disturbing about "Mama,don't believe them
I am your son...."
My god Scott Gorham was salty, def one of the most underrated rock guitarists all all time.
I love this song ❤️ God bless you phil
Song from the heart
"No it's not Whiskey in the fuckin' Jar...oh , sorry for cursing, mother."
God bless you Phil.
Phil is the best..imagine if we still had him...so sad..Thin Liizzy ..unreal..and had it all, when all is said and done the sun goes down
I was there, Frankfurt Germany, 83-86 The shit is the devil
Great song
"No it's not Whiskey In a fucking Jar. Sorry for cursing mother." Lol Love it!

Fantastic band got all the stuff..thanks Mr Phil.😅
Love Sykes' solo on this! I think he only played it this one time. Love Gorhams too!
It's Scott Gorham playing this solo.
@@jamesbarbour8400 Scott plays the first solo. John plays the second solo. which isn’t on the album version.
Sorry for cursing Mother.....
I'd of loved to have to seen lizzy at all in the 80s I'll really have to cherish meeting Philomena cos she was just lovely to me xx
I love to hear him talk omg and sing!!!The best ever love and miss Phil!!!
Is he talking about his self in this song??? Thanks!!!He was the King!!!
I think this was autobiographical.
He had a very good voice even when he was talking😪🙏🏿
I wonder who was that clown with his "Whiskey in the jar" :0))) "Sorry for cursing, mother"....
but whiskey in the jar is deep and meaningfull too :D
its not a game if you cant loose?
the solo on the album version is better
Sykes kills here
@@vitalygolub9716 True that.
