RIP my dear Brother Shane

I'll listen to this song again and again again. It fills me up, makes my chest hurt and my eyes tear every time. I'll never understand just how come these words and music and performance come together so true, so mythical but they do. Always. I'm with everyone below - Best Christmas Song Ever. I listen to it not just during the holiday, but whenever I want to feel moved inside. This doc is beautiful. Thank you.

Somewhere in the afterlife, Shane and Kristy are singing together ❤️

Ronan Keating could have artistic integrity and not change the words...

So this documentary is from 2005 then?

It's a shame I just found out that Peter Dougherty passed away in 2015 R.I.P I was hoping that show of the band in New York City would go up on KZbin

What a great song with great people!

R I P Shane. What a song..

This years Christmas Number one would be a fitting tribute to both Shane and Kirsty

It's okay no one, but no one remembers the Pet Shop Boys Christmas hit song. Nothing to worry about here. Fairy Tale is forever.

God I love this song.

RIP Shane so glad this video was done. Love the Pogues and Kirsty.

Rest in Peace Shane.

RIP Shane and Kirsty. A monumental song that will outlive all of us.

Fare thee well Shane nov. 30 2023 ... an amazing talented band hugely influencal energetic man and group ... have a pint of guiness tonight and toast the lads ! Rest easy Shane

REST IN PEACE KIRSTY and SHANE!

RIP to the greatest songwriter and song ever written...

RIP Shane 😢 best Christmas song ever and will always will be remembered! Come on EVERYONE let’s make this number 1 this Christmas 🎄

RIP 🙏 Thank You for an eternal Xmas song

RIP Shane MacGowan 🇮🇪☘️ This is a brilliant documentary I watch every year and I still love hearing the stories, thank you Shane for making such amazing songs 💚💚

RIP Shane, ya madman.

Rest in Peace Shane. They'll be a Guinness waiting for you up in heaven, along with Kirsty. ✞🙏

thanks Steve Lillywhite

My family think I’m mad, but halfway through the year, June 25th, I always play all my Christmas songs and this one being the first one.

Shane at 53:02 when he says ‘I miss her!’ and starts crying 😢

it's one of the greatest songs ever full stop

45:20. The incomparable voice of Dolores O’Riordan singing Galway Bay.

The Snowflakes suck. They've ruined everything. Censorship is rife now. Classics like Fairytale of New York can't be heard in its entirety. You Snowflakes ought to ashamed of yourselves.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioa2f62nprF5ipI mild panic as I think I've been rickrolled

Christy Moore is amazing

I love Shane

Absolutely brilliant… but when he says he misses her. Tears 😭

when Shane says "I miss her..."

So interesting to learn the story behind this song. For me, Fairytale of New York is one of those special songs that can only come about when the stars align. Definitely in the same league as Bohemian Rhapsody or Bridge Over Troubled Water.

the Pogues are to me like New Model Army. those bands i never get tired of

14:27 and none of the rest shashashasahashas

Didn't expect to get rick rolled here.

Kirsty 💖

1 off our own singer from Tipperary one and only Shane McGowan. Tipperary my premier county.

Congratulations best wishes getting the fairytale of newyork . Hip hop music hip hip hooray fairytale of Newyork .

Kirsty was so pretty

Perfection 🖤💚🎄💚🖤

Hope he's proud of it 😂 as I've known this as 'the' christmas song since I was born.. 1991

It's the only Christmas song that truly matters.

Political correctness and music should be as far apart as the east from the west. If you cover that song then sing the lyrics as they were written, you cheap, lousy (youtube algorithms won't let me use it).

And now the radio stations are going ban the song for being too offensive

Im probably the only one in Otara South Auckland who love the Pogues and the Proclaimers back in the 80s.

Had to laugh when the narrator was listing the members of the band and what instruments they played "and Spider on Beer tray" 07:10 8-)

Shane laughs like Ernie ( of Ernie and Bert ).

I think that what makes this song so great is the fact that once in the while I somehow feel the "need " to listen it. Doesn't matter if it's Christmas or not. It works particularly well whenever I feel shame for something. There are other Christmas songs that I personally refuse to listen even during the festivities, like "All I want for Christmas is you", is way too much for me.
