The most underrated artist in this country. Brilliant version of this song.

Bless her in the quiet man

Johnny Fean was a brilliant guitar player and vocalist. His tone throughout this album was fantastic.

Real soulful voice

Does anyone have the full lyrics to this song

Rest in eternal peace Johnny. Absolutely tragic. Galway is grieving tonight. 😢

Love this song, reminds me of my childhood christmas with my mum dad brothers and sister ❤

Bought my dad a Jim reeves record for Christmas reminds me of him loved you dad xx

what a great song, never heard it before. thanks for sharing it.

These soldiers were fighting from a missions God was on their side

Defintion of EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC

😂

I'm 72 and I've watched this film Many many times I went to the drakensburg in South Africa where it was filmed It is a beautiful wild country It's hard to imaginemen of those ilk Fighting for what they believe

We used to as kids my brother and I had the radio on we went to sleep every night wrno we're rocking new Orleans here nearly 50 years latter my brother passed away his wife and he from covid but this song takes me back to those yesterday years what a time the 60s were

Didn’t know she could sing as well as act. And be beautiful as well!!!!❤🎉

Love all his music 🇮🇪👍💃

I have not listened to this in years & boy the years have melted away & I’m in my youth again xx

Little known fact, the song is about Obama's momma

We were not ready for space yet. We needed energy advancements first. Once we break our reliance on fossil fuels, then we can go to space.

I think this song indicates "Space, the final Frontier." The drums/bass sound like a galloping horse, making you subconsciously think of the Wild West, while the looooooong notes picture you gesturing up towards the sky. The end of the song even has a heavenly choir of oooOOOOOooooOOO, for when you go to visit the heavens (outer space)

The greatest empire on earth 🇬🇧🌍🦁

The music is clever, it simultaneously suggests heavy burden (horsedrawn wagons across rough terrain) and the spaciousness airiness of the landscape. A masterpiece.

No. 1 on the day I was born.

Listening to this in October, 2024. A masterpiece!!!

One of the greatest ever known RIP Dermot..

the sound of Camelot years

xxxxxx

I am in my early 40's, and I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!

The opening fiddle part was played by the late Martin Fay (1936-2012); the rest of the band (including Sean Potts, who plays the pennywhistle) come in a minute later. The Chieftains 4, which this song was first included on, also featured new member Derek Bell (1935-2002) on harp.

Loved this movie as a kid. Looking back, we're kinda the bad guys, but it was just a cool movie at the time (still is unless you're african)

i was 8 years old when came out

Kenny Rogers is my favorite version.

The Conquerors also did a Galway GAA song sampling this called ‘Galway Are Back’

Beauteous, thanks

Hahahahahahaha Azuk

Eu tinha 2 anos e aos 10 escutava este Bela música!

In the movie Private Hook is portrayed as a malingering drunken layabout. The reality is the complete opposite; he was the epitome of a professional soldier. The film makers' decision to portray him the way they did is a disgraceful insult to the memory of a very brave man.

😂🎉😅

This takes me back as a little boy struggling with everything, but this gaves me a hope for the future, and so it is that I now play it on my own fantastic electronic organ system! Fabulous!

No offence to Bernie prefer Daniels version

It takes the Rosses. Best Irish singer EVER❤

Martin Brian Wilson Gary Clark Melissa

awesome version of a beautiful song.

Stanley baker should have been the next James bond, and John barry a genius.

Sempre apprezzata!! Bellissimi ricordi. Alessandro Firenze Italy
