I love this song and rendition. This is a song about defiance and survival in the face of oppression. It is also a song of Celtic Nationalism in the face of Anglo Privilege. Regardless, this is an anthem for Liberty Against Oppression. I listen to it and I feel the blood in my veins, the tears in my eyes and the happiness of freedom
Some think this is a song about loss and defeat. But it's about Defiance and survival in the face of injustice. And God damn, I come here when I need it.
It's about how the British artificially exacerbated the famine as a means of oppressing the Irish people, then when Irish people took the food grown by Irish hands on Irish soil from the English land barons who were exporting it and letting them starve, they were then shipped off to penal colonies.
Man its 2021 you can identify as William Fucking Wallace and call anyone who disagrees a bigot before you behead them. Yes hes Scottish BUT THATS NOT THE POINT
This is an amazing rendition of this beautiful song. My favourite version by miles. Brings a tear to my eye almost every time. Thank you Murphy Bhoys!!
I remember back in -07 i was at a City festival, had dropped to Molly's, which kicked in during the frisking!! After that i ran out on the huge townsquare and this song was live! I found a beautiful girl and we started dancing and hugging! Rest in peace beautiful Tiffany! ✊😭🙏🇸🇪
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling "Michael, they have taken you away For you stole Trevelyan's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay" [Chorus] Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry [Verse 2] By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled, they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity" [Chorus] Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry [Verse 3] By a lonely harbor wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure, she'll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry [Chorus] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
They did this song last night in Pittsburgh and it was more of an acoustic version and not this "big sound" version, but it was still amazing. Both versions are awesome because the song is awesome.
Copied from others in cyberspace: When you hear all the traditional versions of Fields of Athenry, you feel so deeply sorry for the Irish. When you hear Dropkick Murphys' version, you start feeling sorry for the English!
I heard this version first, and live, also. There is something about the Dubliner's singing it that I love a little more. Dropkick did this song a good bit of justice for making a folk song into a different form of music. I know they like covering songs, anyway.
"British"they're definitely people the British bit is absolute f****** nonsense. British he's not a native word it means nothing to us you have to be a foreigner like the English for it to make any sense. Celtic not British Welsh not British Scottish not British Irish not British. What the f*** even is British anyway
Worst album cover of any band I love in the history of Ever. Art aside, Murphy's version of this is the most powerfully angry and defiant version likely ever recorded. 🇮🇪
What a song! This rendition is so powerful and heartfelt. After listening to this, you could take on anything!

Also a song that mentions a real person from the great hunger famine’s history.
It's about how the British artificially exacerbated the famine as a means of oppressing the Irish people, then when Irish people took the food grown by Irish hands on Irish soil from the English land barons who were exporting it and letting them starve, they were then shipped off to penal colonies.

I ain't Irish but when I hear songs like this I wish I was.
Don't shame your ancestors
@@kublaikhan4478 did a 23 and me. I found out that I am 10 percent irish
Man its 2021 you can identify as William Fucking Wallace and call anyone who disagrees a bigot before you behead them. Yes hes Scottish BUT THATS NOT THE POINT
That band wish they were Irish as well
It ain't easy having red hair....

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"
[Chorus]
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
[Verse 2]
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"
[Chorus]
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
[Verse 3]
By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure, she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
[Chorus]
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
Looking for effortless likes? Why the hell you have to copy and paste lyrics?
Just to piss you off that's why
@@jay1970because sometimes we wanna read it while listen to the song 😂
@@jay1970why such a hater
@@jay1970 For convenience so people don't have to search it up.

Same, I imagine our ancestors would've appreciated it too.

No Use for a Name did it way better
