- Luke Singing The Foggy Dew {1966}for German television called "Irland - Lieder für Träumer, Musik für Rebellen" which translates to "Ireland - Songs for dreamers, music for rebels".
The Foggy Dew was written by Canon Charles O`Neill in 1919.
As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum nor battle drum did sound it's dread tatoo
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell rang out in the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud El Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the springing of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew
no singer has ever given a more soulful call to arms in a song than luke kelly, period
irishgeal1 Very Well put!🧔🇮🇪
This wonderful man died in 1984; I just feel cheated. May God forever bless you, Luke.
+Paul Lavan I agree with you...He was an amazing man, love how direct his singing, sure and strong.
Aged 44 . He was called people's champion. Badly needed today a man of such caliber
Beautiful song. Greetings for all Irish people from Poland!
R.I.P to the glorious rebels of Easter week
I’m only 1/4 Irish but I feel it deep within my soul when I hear Luke Kelly sing
Land of my Ancestors ❤️✌️ I was not born there in Ireland but my heart has always had a soft spot for Ireland ❤❤❤🇮🇪✌️
I'm not Irish, even don't have a bit of Ghaelig blood in my roots, but this song gives me very stange good vibes. Respect to you, Irish nation, one of the Greatest nations I ever know. Listening Irish (also Breton and Scottish) music more than 10 years, I don't know why, but your Music really brings tears on my eyes. Respect to you all, from 🇦🇿
Erin go bragh! 💚🍀
‘Twas better to die ‘neath an Irish sky, Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
GOOD DECISION GREETINGS FROM TURKEY WE LOVE AND RESPECT YOU
This is beyond beauty...God rest your soul Luke.
I am a Fenian.
2023.
And will not stand down
That's nothing to be proud of. Look what's happening in our country today
@@trionoide2559new ira are the worse group and old ira want a 32 county Ireland so they could mean either or id like to hope not new ira though
Tide is turning, @@trionoide2559, now look🇮🇪
Hundreds of years and millions of lives spent on that land as irishman just to give up now? Because what? You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
@@trionoide2559
Fukn legend,no one can touch Luke kelly in terms of intellect and passion of voice,no one can replace him
Agree with you 100%untouchable passion in that voice
this isnt my people's history , but hail to Ireland and irish people , you suffered a lot
+Morduk Metalhead fair play lad
***** I know , that was a message to irish people , dead and alive
***** so the people of Ireland dont suffer today??????
***** I agree with that, holding grudges that go way back is only for ignorant and uneducated fools......
yer auld fella the Irish still suffer
Hard one because I'm from Scotland with family who have served for the British army but god bless those who fight for what they believe in.
Brandon Mcgu1re God bless you.
ZErO GRaViTY you too friend
Thank u for ur service bro from ldn
If you lose your country the English will be telling your kids about how it happened. Not you.
I am in awe at the voices of both Luke Kelly and Sinead O'Connor, both have a pure natural rebel singing ability. I'm so privileged to be able to hear them. They both send a shiver down my spine.I would have loved to see Luke sing live.
lukes voice is magical. i love him. r.i.p. luke
This is my absolute favourite version of this song of all time, and I come back to it often to listen in awe of Luke and his amazing voice. Please never take this down 👍🏻👍🏻🇮🇪
If i couldve picled the national anthen for Ireland it would have been this
I disagree, a national anthem should be upbeat.
+Admiral8Q U suppose but it does reflect a lot i
about our history
Patrick Henry
The song is great, don't get me wrong. I think a national anthem should be upbeat and relatively short.
Patrick Henry - I think this would be a beautiful anthem for Ireland. I know most, like Admiral says are upbeat - but Ireland's freedom was hard fought and long-time in coming, this would suit the history. :)
+Jennifer Shelley My thinking exactly but don't get me wrong however I like Amhrán na bhfiant its a good anthem
Never felt so proud to be Irish and I'm from Belgium lmao, bless you Luke Kelly
As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its dred tattoo
But the Angelus bells o'er the Liffey's swell
Rang out through the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin town
They hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's huns with theirlong-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide
In the springing of the year
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
At those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
You're doing god's work.
My Granny came over to Newfoundland during the potato famine. She missed Ireland until her dying day. I loved her tales of growing up in the poorest part of Dublin. She made those days seem magical to me and it's only now that I'm grown, do I realize what she went through. My Granny, Maggie O'Shea.
30 years dead today RIP Luke.
It's actually 31 years...he died in 1984
john kennedy just a few days ago was his anniversary. Cue somebody in 2016 saying today is Lukes anniversary! Come on Lukes Anniversary caller, we're waiting :)
He's now singing with the Angels in Heaven.
+Pascal O'Mahony who goes there?
I do!
Man, this guy is awesome!
Amazing song. It's my hope that Ireland will be united once more, provided the people want it. Love, respect and regret from the United Kingdom.
Well, that goes without saying. Luke Kelly is a legend. I'm passing him around to a younger generation. I never really 'heard' Irish music before Luke Kelly. Thank the Lord for RUclips and a chance to experience a legend's voice.
I'm proud to be Irish
lost my Grandfathfather in the 1916 Easter rebelion, while his brother lost his life in Gaiilipoli about the same time so my mother ,God rest her, never knew who to blame
my great grand farther also died in that battle against english tyranny.
bart man
Don't blame all the English. Blame the English establishment. A lot of us actually have Irish ancestors. My greatgrandparents came from Galway & Meath. My Gt.Grandma was sent over from Galway in 1873 to work for the priests in Liverpool she was only 13 y.o. My happiest times are the holidays I spend in Eire. I love you people and your country and feel ashamed for the way our Establishment treated you. I believe in a United Ireland. Peace.
Agnes Williams Most of us don't now .... It's generational thing .... but The crown has a high price to pay back to the world .... better for you to realize that the british empire is hated in the world as opposed to the individual people themselves .... mutual respect is all it takes so I very much bow to your point of view - peace be with you
Funnily enough a lot of people think it's the Russians who were to blame they backed the Serbs and it all snowballed from there. If the Austrians had been allowed follow through with there ultimatum to Serbia... but who knows but the English were in a treaty to back Belgium. Not as easy as it seems also as the majority in England were against the war until Germany invaded Belgium but the mood swung. Don't like seeing history repeat itself like what's going on at the moment
"Twas better to die neith an Irish sky", a quote a lot more irish my age need to hear. 🇮🇪
My grandfather, born in County Mayo would have done anything to die neith an Irish sky. Unfortunately he died unded a Floridian sky this January. God rest his soul
@@bigploppa154Condolences my friend! If he got to pass on around his family, he was a lucky enough Irishman. Respect and love to you and him from Sligo, Ireland. 🙏 Hope you get the chance to visit soon!
@@Robbikelly I plan on coming to Ireland for the first time next St Patricks Day. My brother will be spending the spring semester abroad in London and I plan to meet him in Dublin. I graduate from my university in december. He passed in the company of two of his four children. I saw him a few weeks before he passed, but was 1000 miles away at school when he did. Appreciate your message, can’t wait to visit Ireland. Wish I could have gone with him.
just wonderful! he expressed so much with his voice, you don't even need the video; just the way he sings is enough... love you, Luke!
May GOD bless and keep Ireland's song writers, poets, singers and musicians in His Keeping forever. Having departed this life for eternal life we shall miss them and forever cherish their music.
rest well Luke, gone these 32 years
I do believe that this is my very, very favorite version of this song. Tonight is the first time I have heard him sing this but what power, conviction, and strength. It pulls you right into the song itself.
Braves irish men,brave irish women. I feel amazing for the FIGHTERS IRIH PEOPLES. THAT CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FROM IRELAND. FOR JUST ONE IRELAND. JUST IRISH REPUBLIC. WITH ALL MY LOVE AND ALL MY RESPECT FOR YOU. GOD BLESS EMERALD IRELAND AND ALL THE IRISH PEOPLE. 😍😘💖👍☘🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Love you Ireland, from India, Punjab, Newcastle Geordies UK
My grandad knocked about with the Irish, Salojah
India are our brothers and the Northerners are alright in my book! You got a good mix on ya!
This a brilliant song sang by a brilliant singer and this performance can't b improved.
Greatest Irish voice of all time
Makes a paddy proud
There's something in this version... something that moves the soul.
The best Irish singer you will ever hear wot a fuckin legend lve you luke r I p mate
I love finding new beautiful irish songs, I was looking through one of my song books earlier, I was playing piano and singing with my sister on flute, and I found this song! It's the emotion of thousands personified in a single voice, ♥
The tune is ancient. No matter the lyrics it is totally captivating. One for the scholars of music. I am as Gaelic as any may claim. And whilst I have critical problems with the sentiment & lyrics of the song. Its "fonn" or tune is deeply Gaelic. By at least a millennium. Hope some scholars of music would make some informed comment. And just in case some plastic paddies would question my bona fides:my grandfather couldn't speak English & I learned my Gaeilge from him!!
Mere words cannot convey the depth of feeling this song gives me. Of one thing I am sure, a more powerful and truthful voice I have never heard.
Exactly one hundred years ago today the rising was taking place 24/4/2016...r.i.p luke.
+tekken278 Happy Centenary day Mo Chara
+Kylie Bear you to buddy!
love this song so much love luke kelly
Every generation has a responsibility to give this music with love to the next. Im from S.Armagh but I live in the States now, and my 2 year old son is already listening and dancing to the old Irish songs I used to dance to.
We remember the brave Irish Soldiers who fought in World war one for the freedom of small nations like Belgium and Serbia, hoping in vain that Britain in turn would grant Ireland freedom afterwards.
conor kelly of course we should celebrate the legacy of the Irish rebels. But we should also respect the fallen Irish soldiers of World war one.
+la dodgers 4 life it's nowhere near as simple as that, just as with everything in Irish history. My Great-Grandfather, from Dublin, fought in WW1. Bourgeoise 'nationalists' at the time criticised him and others like him for fighting for 'the Brits' when they could have stayed at home and been part of the rebellion. These were not people living in the dire, desperate poverty of Dublin at the time, with no work and no social welfare. The army was a job, when there were no jobs. We have always been nothing but proud of him. The family might have died of starvation otherwise.
I'm sorry to hear the trouble your family has gone through, any soldier is a hero in my eyes, its a thankless job. Many people have risked their life bravely and ended up being welcomed home as villains.
A similar thing happened to American soldiers after Vietnam and Iraq and i know its hard to believe but the family members of people who plotted to kill Hitler were considered the lowest form of life in Germany between 1945-1970ish
Im sorry again that your grandfather probably didnt live to earn the credit he deserved but at least people now know he was no traitor.
I fully agree.
never trust the british liars
fir play lads, beautiful tune my mother may be english but my dads in waterford so sad we cant share our proud heritage and i hope to live long enough were all fellow coutryman again,
The sentence says everything about the irish music:
"Ireland - Songs for dreamers, music for rebels"
You can feel the centuries of struggle through Kelly's intense, even raspy, voice. This is not a song. This is a voice of the Irish people, calling out like the prophet Jeremiah: "All ye that pass by! Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me!"
Luke kelly was indeed a great singer who never forgot his working class roots.
..And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.. These lyrics make me prouder to be a Meath Man.!! 💪💪
Greetings from Texas.
Thanks for the video. Folk music is so beautiful and rich with emotion .
I hadn't heard of Luke Kelly before, but this is excellent.
Luke's best Song!
the old lady and me are considering moving to ireland one of these days after finishing college here in the U.S. she wants to live there and i cant say it wouldnt be bad living there. i passed through on me way to iraq when i was in the Marines and the treatment i received from them was excellent. bought me and my mates guinness.
Luke Kelly, RIP, Ronnie too. Makes u proud to be Irish to hear our heritage. How many here really know about the struggles? God Bless Ireland & remember this for our childern
Let us all help to speed the day when this wonderful earth and its rich resources are held in common for the benefit of all humanity.
None of us live forever - if there is anything about Irish music in all its strains it is about that - but what a testament most of us haven't used our lives as well
Only 1 left now!
I love the smell of peat, it is a smell like no other and reminds me of my travels to the Ireland. This fellow is a nice singer as well.
luke's singing frighten the brit astablishment more than any weapons of mass destruction, the power of singing and putting thoughts into the laymans head is a no-no to all the elite
he learned most of his song collection and singing style in Britain, taught by British musicians.
This is the history of my peopel. Irish pride forever
the last verse is beautiful...the world gazing in deep amaze at freedom fighters......freedom is a virtue not to be forgotten
I'm not even Irish but I already missed this guy.
Awesome Song, I Love Irish Music! I am a part Scot, but sometimes Scottish Music sounds so similar to Irish Music. I hope to someday visit the UK and learn of my English, Scotch, French Roots. My Grandmother was born in Sunderland, England, maiden name;"DeRoche" Married into the Bailey Family, Mr. Bailey got killed in WW2. My Grandmother remarried into the Connolly Family and her husband got killed in WW2.One of the names is in relation to Mac.Donald and maybe Irish Descendant. Interesting
Luke Kelly made Irish Folk music cool. Before the Rebel songs Irish Folk music was full of sentimental visions of the Island when not all Irish people felt that way. Luke looked like a caveman, wrote like a soulful man and sang like a rebel.
Before rebel songs,???
Irish rebel songs are hundreds of yrs old,
The best Irish voice of all time
Many Irishmen have said they would die for this man and rightly so a brilliant singer and Irish patriot!😂🤗👍👌🧔🎙️🎸🎵🎼🍺🍻🇮🇪
I am sitting here in my hometown, thousand of miles away from Ireland, listening to this cannary voice of Luke and Irish rebel songs and i feel drawn to Ireland somehow..I'm even ginger-ish 🙂
Long live Ireland and all Irish people!
More of a reason to listen to it.
What Kelly is singning about is men who wanted unity for both our people.
I've always love and felt connected to this.😘xxx
Could never ever tire of hearing this marvellous folk song!😂🎙️🎸🎼🎶🔫🥔🇮🇪
Luke kelly will always be the Daddy.A passionate singer who never forgot his working class roots.He once said folk music is propaganda,how true.
This song makes me cry. I love it so much
the single greatest versions of this song
what a great voice!!! WOW
I'm german and I love this kind of music. Furthermore I really respect Ireland and it's history so Éireann go brách misters.
I'm not Irish and I'm weeping like a child
You would be even sadder if you knew what the song was about (maybe you do though!)
trust me you dont wanna come here now lad.Irelands not as good as you hear.
+The Grim Depends on where you go Ireland is a beautiful coumtry
Patrick Henry well where I live isnt the best....A place called Kilkenny in the south east of Ireland.
+At Least I'm Not A Woman! you from here?
I love Irish soul music ! ❤
"And the world did gaze in deep amaze at those fearless men but few"
I would love to hear the reactions from people back then. Hearing the story unfold and eventually hearing that the "Mighty British Empire" was beaten into submission
what a song, what a singer, first time ive commented on youtube but i had to, luke kelly who else could command that respect from me, the best bar none, too many performances too many songs, all favourites
I have never heard the equal to this song - nor to Luke Kelly. Long live Luke!
Lovely to see Luke looking so young & healthy, the voice also so young & high, Magic stuff. He really was a great singer.
I'm 8 years old.I'm learning this sono in school
+Ysabella Ferreira same but im 10 :)

Homage to the courageous oppressed Irish people.

A true Irish legend

Absolutelly Wonderful!
You Irish are by far my favourite nation of the world! (except for mine of course ;) )
Long live the Irish in America :) From Johnny (in Ireland).
this better be played at the 1916 commemoration.
I heard his brother sing it in Killeshandra (of come out ye black and tans fame) last year it was amazing.
+wolftone69 They won't allow it. Do you not remember all rebel songs were banned from being played in parts of Dublin city because it might upset some people. We weren't allowed have a St Patrick's day float of Jim Larkin because it was too "politicised." So the parade just went past the huge statue of him on O'Connell St.
+Danny Gormley Who's his brother? That sounds like a good night.
Foxtrot Hotel ridiculous how we can’t remember publicly those brave men. Sure they only gave their lives what does it matter
An Irish Legend
Thanks for posting this! Epic and haunting
May the echoes of their actions never be forgotten. Up the RA, from Newfoundland.
