The man playing guitar on the left side was my father, Martin O'Hara. Shortly after this event he was diagnosed with cancer, and very recently after a long hard battle, dad has passed away. So this was one of dads final performances. It meant the world to him that people took the time out of their day to slow down and listen. It also meant the world to him when I told him how many of you people online have resonated with this moment. To slow down that day and stop to listen to those performers and singers was an effortless decision for any passers-by, but it meant a great deal more to him and I, it really was an honour. And dad died with that pride and peace that you gave him, so on his behalf, thank you so much for listening.
Mythic It sounds like your Dad was a helluva guy. I lost my Dad just a little over a year ago. He passed away on Feb.15,2019. If we could only go back and tell them how much we love them just one more time. And now sadly I have lost my Mom as well. She passed away May 28,2021. How I wish that I had just a little more time with Mom and Dad there is so much I would like to talk to them about and now I can't.
Sure they would, but I'm quickly losing faith that the human race will still exist as we know it in 100 years (if at all). People are losing their minds. We might all really be plugged into the Matrix under some awful global government.
When you recognize the guitar and sing along all the words in unison with a hundred other people in the middle of a train station. That’s when you know the song is timeless and it will live on forever.
Generations were spanned in the video alone, not to mention the online views. It feels magical when something like this happens spontaneously and it's usually a Pink Floyd song that pulls us all in (although once it happened with the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" and it was no less magical)
9 years ago, I lost my baby sister. We would have found the nearest stadium and broke in just to hear the harmony of the vocals from the "average people". Don't ever think that because you're not the very best at something that you're not still a part of something amazing. If you doubt it, listen to the vocals from this crowd, it's amazing. Remember, you're always valued and always loved. And you're never alone, no matter how dark things seem, how bad you think things are or how much you think you won't be missed. I have a patch of skin that will prove you wrong. You are important, you are special, you are worth it, you are loved and we want you to be here. I know that trusting people is the hard part of opening up and looking for counseling, I'm a survivor too (even if I didn't want to be). But keep fighting to find someone you can talk to, they ARE out there, there are people that will listen. You don't have to go throught this alone. One last thing: I love you.
Such a beautiful thing to say... to share. Thank you. Depression is formless, tasteless, and colorless… as stealthy as Time itself and as depraved as a serial killer. It knows no mercy. It cannot be persuaded to give you a break, because it is the darkest part of you and therefore knows the best ways to darken even your brightest moments. I felt myself sliding down into it… being encased in it, yet I had lost the will to fight it. Hope had become a four-letter word. However, my family saw it and eventually helped me to overcome years of anguish… and years of pain. I suffered through physical pain, to be sure, but emotional pain digs far deeper. Some of you here know what I mean. I want to share something I wrote after finding myself through my battle with depression... something that defined my experience: I waited in the dark for a light to shine… yet this light, all along, was I
Imagine hearing a song so iconic to you that it can make you think back to those years that you lived your best life at. This what these old peeps must think while singing this song with one hundred other voices.
I lost my dad to brain cancer on this teachers day (He was himself a teacher, whose passion was sharing knowledge, always wanted to make this world a better place). This has brought tears to my eyes. Wish Papa was here...
Sobbed like a child mate. There is something so incredibly special about my favourite band ever being able to bring people together like this. It's truly inspiring. Beautiful song, and the choir was fabulous.
Even more amazing, this is at a TRAIN STATION, meaning all of those people stopped, and risked missing their train to listen and sing this beautiful song.
I am at this moment sitting in a hospital with my father watching this. He suffered a massive stroke, and he is ready to pass. This song always gets my tears flowing.
I'm 59 and this song can still bring a tear to my eyes thinking about my sister who took her own life remember to tell your loved ones that you'll always be there for them
rvz77 Because it sounds as good as the first day I heard it, all those years ago. Transcending Time. You might be young, but I know my life is ending sometime soon. Live long with your music !
I never fail to choke up when I hear this song, but hearing a whole crowd of "just plain folks" who know the lyrics and join in put me over the top. Reading the comment from Mythic about Martin O'Hara added profusely to the meaningfulness of the event.
My nephew played this for brother at his funeral, this is the first time I have managed to listen to this since that date 6yrs ago. Thank you Dublin people, beautiful souls. God bless you all, god bless my dear brother, How I wish he was here. XX
It must be an awesome feeling to know something you have written is so loved by the world that it can be spontaneously sung in a train station word for word by a couple of hundred people.
Earlier that day, the guitarist on the left received a cancer diagnosis and he didn't make it. I think the large crowd of people singing the song may have known him and came to support him play.
I can't fully describe how incredibly spiritual your father's and his two friends' performance felt to me. Then, Your comment describing your father's diagnosis and also his passing made me realize why the performance touched me so deeply. I am very sorry for your loss and I'll never forget what a gift it was to hear him play. Thank you.
This is beautiful, I travelled through Heuston Station daily for a number of years, these guys are incredible, sadly I heard one has passed away since. To think they give up their time to entertain people, to make them smile. Love this song and we’ll done to everyone involved
I saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour (twice) - and will always remember hearing 40,000 plus singing this song, honestly one of life's pure moments.
" Just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl ", some of the most poignant and heart wrenching lyrics ever written. So true, so real. Truly wonderful and emotional to see so many in unison singing this song, it was like an anthem that touched each and everyone of them and us viewing this clip. It is rare to see so many people form a choir and join in with buskers, certainly gladdens the heart in these days of gloom.
RIP Martin, and thanks for bringing happiness to all those folk who were there on the day, along with all those who will watch this online - oh how I wish I was there too. Steve
Just saying, if this is great to you, you should totally listen to the entirety of the Wish You Were Here Album. It's perfect, and I haven't found anything better to listen to since.
I dedicate this to my husband, my mom, and my brother who I miss terribly. They were my rock and the only people who really got me. They understood all my quirky sides. Wish they were here. 🦋🦋🦋
Another American here. This is absolutely awesome, and for a great cause as well. I love Pink Floyd, and I love the Irish. My wife and I toured the British Isles back in 2001, and the day we spent in Dublin was a highlight of the trip. Great city, great people.
I have no idea where in the world I've been all this time, but have just watched this video, and yes.. .cried my eye's out.... What an incredible testimony to the human spirt and the grace of humanity we all share. Then.... I read the note from the daughter of the man playing the guitar on the left, his story , her pride and love for her father, and I cry all over again. Wow, is about all I can utter right now.... and thanks for the gift of music and people like Martin O'Hara who shared their gifts and inspiration.
Whoa! Now that I've dried my tears and composed myself... What an absolutely moving experience! Watching this video has conflated two of my most treasured memories. First memory: I had the distinct pleasure of seeing and hearing Pink Floyd in concert in Tampa in 1977. I had just turned 15 and had no idea how fortunate I was to be there because when Pink Floyd returned to the US for the The Wall tour they only made two stops in New York and two others in LA. This is one of the many great songs I was privileged to hear. I'm confident that thousands of people sang along but the music was so loud you couldn't hear them. Second memory: three or four years later I attended a concert of The Rossington-Collins Band, which contained the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. At the end of the concert they finally played the song everyone there had come to here, which was - of course - Freebird. There was no vocalist. A spotlighted microphone topped by the hat of the deceased Ronnie Van Zant occupied the center of the stage, which made all in attendance wish that he was there. For those who don't know, the song begins gently and mournfully, slowly builds in tempo and intensity, and then finishes with an ecstatic/cathartic 10 minute instrumental. So anyway, the tens of thousands of fans, without prompting from the band or anyone else, provided the vocals. It was a mystical experience, similar to the one conveyed in this video but on a grander scale and in real-time.
It's amazing to see all these strangers come together as one. Our lives are very similar we're never too far apart. I got to big smile out of this. My dream would be everybody.
People of that time will always be young at heart. Those who made the music, those who heard it and made it famous, and those who sing it to this day. 🙋🌹🇨🇱
My younger sister just passed away from cancer sorry for your loss and beautiful song I am a Floydian and to all who have gone before shine on you crazy diamonds.
Because of the context in which this was played, and because of my personal situation, as much as I love this song, it never made me cry that hard. Thank you.
your dad was part of that amazing show!!!be very proud that he chose that song!! i play that everytime i visit my mothers grave!! yes,we are lost soles swimming in a fish bowl....think about it~! thank you ..................
Nothing like a big group sing along. It has been a couple years since I've been in one. And this is such a great song to do it with. And so well done. Thank you all.
Me listening to this scene brought tears to my eyes and I don't have an answer why... Everytime... I still get the most intense chills to this performance through it all
@brookelondon8029 I want to say this song gives a smile when I hear it... but with the things I've been to and how it inadvertently affected me... It makes me cry more than anything and I wish it wasn't always
Wished I was there to hear and be a part of this. Pink Floyd will always be my main jam, even when I’m 80. If I make it there. I’m always playing Pink Floyd in my car at full blast. I’m in my own world and one person concert. This video was amazing!!!

This is a great song to do a flash mob to. It's well known and something easy for outsiders to join in on.
This song ..i remembering my son was pass away may 19..0024..every wake up in the morning he was played that song with his guitar....rip my son
God bless your father and these men for playing so beautiful and the crowd singing. Beautiful.
Another American here. This is absolutely awesome, and for a great cause as well. I love Pink Floyd, and I love the Irish. My wife and I toured the British Isles back in 2001, and the day we spent in Dublin was a highlight of the trip. Great city, great people.
I have no idea where in the world I've been all this time, but have just watched this video, and yes.. .cried my eye's out.... What an incredible testimony to the human spirt and the grace of humanity we all share. Then.... I read the note from the daughter of the man playing the guitar on the left, his story , her pride and love for her father, and I cry all over again.
Wow, is about all I can utter right now.... and thanks for the gift of music and people like Martin O'Hara who shared their gifts and inspiration.
Whoa! Now that I've dried my tears and composed myself... What an absolutely moving experience! Watching this video has conflated two of my most treasured memories. First memory: I had the distinct pleasure of seeing and hearing Pink Floyd in concert in Tampa in 1977. I had just turned 15 and had no idea how fortunate I was to be there because when Pink Floyd returned to the US for the The Wall tour they only made two stops in New York and two others in LA. This is one of the many great songs I was privileged to hear. I'm confident that thousands of people sang along but the music was so loud you couldn't hear them. Second memory: three or four years later I attended a concert of The Rossington-Collins Band, which contained the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. At the end of the concert they finally played the song everyone there had come to here, which was - of course - Freebird. There was no vocalist. A spotlighted microphone topped by the hat of the deceased Ronnie Van Zant occupied the center of the stage, which made all in attendance wish that he was there. For those who don't know, the song begins gently and mournfully, slowly builds in tempo and intensity, and then finishes with an ecstatic/cathartic 10 minute instrumental. So anyway, the tens of thousands of fans, without prompting from the band or anyone else, provided the vocals. It was a mystical experience, similar to the one conveyed in this video but on a grander scale and in real-time.
my wife was passed october 2017, hope she could hear
Absolutely superb. Rest in Peace Martin O'Hara. This touched me before and has done again. Thank you for bringing real magic into everyone's life.
It's amazing to see all these strangers come together as one. Our lives are very similar we're never too far apart. I got to big smile out of this. My dream would be everybody.
People of that time will always be young at heart. Those who made the music, those who heard it and made it famous, and those who sing it to this day. 🙋🌹🇨🇱
My younger sister just passed away from cancer sorry for your loss and beautiful song I am a Floydian and to all who have gone before shine on you crazy diamonds.
This was a Heaven on Earth Presentation. How the crowd participated as in a Concert...
This is a perfect example of how music can bring generations, together to overcome prejudices and improve the way we care for others.
I don't why but am crying... Within five seconds of the people singing
A slap in the face of those who say Rock should never turn "respectable".
The power of music to bring people together.
This video kicks me in the feels every time. The raw power of humanity uniting over something as simple as a song. Beautiful. 🥰
Because of the context in which this was played, and because of my personal situation, as much as I love this song, it never made me cry that hard. Thank you.
That was fantastic how everyone started to sing, I love it when people can feel the music and get involved 🥰👍❤️

Kathy right with you. This put a smile on my day here in Alabama.
Nothing like a big group sing along. It has been a couple years since I've been in one. And this is such a great song to do it with. And so well done. Thank you all.
This was so beautiful. I wonder if anyone from Pink Floyd saw it.
Me listening to this scene brought tears to my eyes and I don't have an answer why...
Everytime... I still get the most intense chills to this performance through it all
I just started to cry and I saw your post. How great that people all over the world can share in such a beautiful moment.
@brookelondon8029 I want to say this song gives a smile when I hear it... but with the things I've been to and how it inadvertently affected me... It makes me cry more than anything and I wish it wasn't always
No. You don’t have to answer Why? Just go with its flow.
@@endamccallion1073 Just tears it's so beautiful to watch and then listen again beautiful. Love it. ❤️✨️✨️
We have been so amazingly lucky to have lived in an era of truely heart warming musical talent. Thank you ❤
Beautiful seeing all of you sing together
Wished I was there to hear and be a part of this. Pink Floyd will always be my main jam, even when I’m 80. If I make it there. I’m always playing Pink Floyd in my car at full blast. I’m in my own world and one person concert. This video was amazing!!!
