For me, this is the most motivating song of all time. If ever feeling down or powerless, i know for sure what to listen to gather strength and get inspired. :-)
Never seen this video, don’t remember this song at all whatsoever, yet I had this feeling...so I typed it in on Memorial Day and here we are...life is predictable sometimes.
Great song. Not sure why the morons gave this song and/or video a negative comment or dislike. The Drop Kick Murphys sound great and just keep getting better and tighter after all these years. They're aging like a fine wine! Thumbs up to the DKM! For you dislike folks go see them live and then tell us you don't like it! I would almost bet the dislikes were Yankee fans!
i love tin whistle in there. i play as well cept i play more traditional, although i love playing the lute part of Shipping off to Boston, and the opening of state of Massachusetts
@Cbumskee I think the two intercut story lines are Al & Ken as motivational speakers at a team building workshop and the life story of one of the attendees (kid/guy with scally cap). It takes a couple views and makes you think... Pretty brilliant, actually.
@bx0fshrp0bjects I know its an official weapon of Boston. Ive used it many times during my school years there. Im just surprised it has taken this long for them to put it in their videos
I like this song, but would love to hear them do a remix that was heavier. The lyrics and percussion would lend to this song being done in a much heavier way.
This song had to grow on me, at first i hated it cos its way more 'pop' than their last albums fast raw punk song. but really, this song is great to dance to!
@Renaud596 you make a good point, profane language is not the best way to get a point across. I should heed my own advice actually, I usually don't pull that kinda shit. Rough week bub, apologies for that.
If you think all soldiers are sociopaths, convicts, homeless or wife beaters, my grandpa would like to have a chat with you laddie. Or actually he'd like to box your ears for ya. Served in WWII and in later peacekeeping efforts with Canadian troops up until the late seventies. Has a happy life, wife of now nigh on sixty-two years, and thinks the world of her. Puts his family above himself all the time, and would be more likely to get hit by a flying train than to hit any of us.
They have a thing with snowballs with this record. So far 2 music videos both with snowballs getting thrown at people. I say that they are on to something. Start throwing snowballs instead of using other things.
@TheWyojeeper they didn't have Barney in Scotland when i was a kid. Don't call me a tough guy, you're the one that started this. I'm not here to argue, but one arguing tip for the next "Internet tough-guy" you decide needs to be harassed; putting profanity all over in your argument doesn't make it any more forceful. Have a nice life
It's funny how "old fans" get upset with songs like these even though DKM did wayyy "softer" shit on previous albums. "Far Away Coast"? "The Torch"? Yes their first three albums will always be their best in my eyes but the new shit is ace, I can't really think of any bad song by this band, so long as it wasn't that Departed song (uggh).
When I'm sad and down about life, I just listen to this song and then I'm happy again.
Dropkick Murphys always make me feel better, no matter what. Can't wait to see y'all in concert one day.
this band keeps getting better and better I first heard the gangs all here look at how they've grown. still my favorite band EVER!!!
This song makes me smile. What a chorus :)
For me, this is the most motivating song of all time. If ever feeling down or powerless, i know for sure what to listen to gather strength and get inspired. :-)
Up there above "The Eye of The Tiger" by Survivor!
The world needs more songs like this, in these days
absolutely love this song and the message it sends.
❤❤❤
the best band around if u don't think so if not listening to the lyrics love DK keep it up guys God bless

On a side note, Al looks more of a skinhead in this video than he did in the friggin' Bruisers. Hats off to you, sir!
I was young and I wouldn't hear it, you had opinions I had mine to. Just a kid with all the answers a pompous pride and not one clue! :)

This song had to grow on me, at first i hated it cos its way more 'pop' than their last albums fast raw punk song. but really, this song is great to dance to!
@TheWyojeeper Nah dude, it happens. Sorry for the rough week, hope things head for the brighter side. sorry too for arguing back. Take it easy

@OnDaDyrell Every band change sometime in there career. They can't just do the same music all the time.

@Gravelgutband mike is the boy who starts the music video out the one who gets hit with the snowballs. i know him.
@Renaud596 you make a good point, profane language is not the best way to get a point across. I should heed my own advice actually, I usually don't pull that kinda shit. Rough week bub, apologies for that.

Reminds me of “I Bet My Life” by Imagine Dragons.
