...Could be one of the earliest usages in song of the phrase, "...and to Rock and to Roll", from which the appelation 'Rock and Roll' would be derived centuries later in the good ole U.S.A.... ... .. ..

I don't want to be with my bf's family because they like child molestors. I can't do it. He will hate me. He loves his family more than me.

Great little film to go with the tune. First time I was made certain it was set during Napoleonic wars (1805) and not the Anglo-French war. Love how the look on the recruiters' faces drastically changes as Arthur turns down their offer :) Best part in the film

My beautiful soul mate-friend-- many times we listened to this song together--lost you in 2010-play/sing this song at your grave---my guitar helped me to live on until we meet again when I walk the road you walked before me! ! Thank you Paul for singing our emotions -whoever and wherever we all are--brothers-sisters in your music X Ed

working in england in the 1990s aint nothing but the same old story

Is the actor that plays Sergeant Napper the same guy that plays Barrys' infantry captain uncle in Barry Lyndon?

pure crap sing if your gonna sing

I can see that Buddhism works better, because it's More direct and accurate. Most of all its about being in control of our own minds. Stoismb doesn't quite get there.

Great anti war song, so relevant these days.

Go Ireland, go!! Love and respect from faraway Argentina 🇦🇷 🇮🇪

My favourite Paul Brady song, nobody sings it better than Paul but this is a nice interpretation

I just keep listening to this.............this song says it all for me..........

Oh. What justice the singer does to Paul's song. 👌

I spent 22 years as an Irish redcoat and rose through the ranks to a very senior level, through war and peace, if I knew then what I know now , I would have done what these lads did. 😁 Thousand of Irishmen have and still do take the kings shilling , a fair number of the General staff are Irish , the chief of the general staff recently was an Irishman , with more coming through. I survived were others didn’t although not without injury. Faugh-A-Ballagh! For those that know what it means.

Go hiontach ar fad!!

I loved this. I can play it on my Irish tin Whistle. Was a penultimate verse left out though?

Music is unaversal weather it in The Carabeen Ireland or anywere weall speak the same music language

Brilliant song can't help but get up and dance

Fabulous performance from two of the greatest musicians to come out of Ireland.....

Had a Jersey girl sing this in a castle in Ireland for my birthday. Ah, Catie, if you come across this comment, let it be known that Alex is one amazingly lucky man. And yes, what you’ve all been praying for?……….. Her name is Amy :’)

piano is lovely, but that singing is terrible. it seems like he hasn't actually learned the melody, just the words; and when he deviates from the actual melody, it's horridly flat. :/

Lovely rendition, makes me think that Tracey Chapman and Paul Brady should have collaborated back in the day. They both stand out on their own but some might have more to offer to each other

Na Paul's the man

How cools that fun in the park 🎉

Unreal performance. Two legends.

Our local listener sponsored radio station, KPFA in Berkeley, usually plays this around Christmas. Still relevant. We have a "poverty draft" in America, recruiting people to fight in foreign wars for oil and empire.

Love this.

The island as in ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

That was fun ❤

Great t see another version of Paul's song 👏

The writing is most definitely on the wall.

Go hiontach ar fad!😀🎶Barry

Looks like everyone was having a ton of fun! I love the energy in this and, of course, the song.

I like the song in this key (E) as opposed to F, which Bonnie recorded it in.

The cruelty toward the kid, who'd probably had a rough life already unmothered, only to be "cared for" by losers, is unnecessary. But it is a magnificent song.

What a concert!

Hire that band!

Who is singing?At times it soundslike Brady again not

Bless our parents and families to give us this privilege and the freedoms we take for granted.

Brilliant. I also would love to hear how Nick Cave would treat this classic.

Leslie Dowdall (In Tua Nua) on Backing Vocal / Tambourine ???

That's a great cover 👌

Great start to a Sunday morning

YES!! and YES!!

The ladies are loving it.

Rocking it Paul

what a song and what singer great to here Pauls world wide

I've been working solidly for over a week to nail this song. It's a real gymnastics lesson but I'm almost there, almost. A few twiddly bits to get in my fingers but I have most of it down. I wanted to learn it after seeing this video. I work with a shadow theatre and so we're using this film as a template to translate the song into a shadow play whilst I perform it live. Absolutely buzzed up about it. We'll be performing it over this summer so I dare say there will be a video recording of it to upload at some point.

The older I get the more Paul’s quality shines through, great cover by Aloe

This song is a masterpiece by Paul ............nothing but the same old story , steel claw ., crazy dreams ...........what a songsmith !
