Chris de Burgh BORDERLINE

[@mckster56]

People just dont appreciate his writing AND singing genius. He is so great

[@02cosmic]

Chris De Burgh wrote this song about another war but also so apt for today. Why do young men have to fight old mens wars?

[@angelabuck5491]

war makes money

[@zeinoun13]

This emotional song reminds of the times when I used to cross checkpoints during Lebanon's civil war in order to meet a girl I loved and I'm still loving...! But then the war broke out in the region where I lived and as a result I had to flee Lebanon for good and never saw her again...!

[@GlamJouJou]

I’m so sorry :( I’ve been thru two wars, Jordan and Lebanon: I was very young but I still remember the feeling of being unsafe and fearful for my family.

[@JitkaJankovska]

My love was not for a person but it was just the same. I remember occupation of my country's capital. I was just a child and I was scared. Later I fled, now I'd like to return but who knows. Sometime, crossing the border the other way is harder

[@brooke4627]

Zeinoun your story puts tears into my eyes. My father was a casualty of the Korean war and I never knew him and like yourself I have been separated from the love of my life. I totally respect the fact that you have continued to love the girl you lost. I do the same with mine as well. With love and solidarity from England.

[@jacocoljee3911]

I saw him perform this several times and is still taking my breath away. It gives me a lot of emotion , time after time.

[@iananslow494]

Seen him do this live , got to be one of the best performances of any artist I’ve ever seen

[@dyenomite2]

his lyrics are so deep and emotional. seeing him live is like hearing an angel and watching a vision.

[@lara8550able]

Great song , so sad , so true , thank you :-) Greetings for all those who are sad and alone , because they are lost beloved one :-) ~ Lara ~

[@la2mosheh]

Few people here know him (I'm from Jordan in the Middle east), I wish he would come and perform here one day .... We need such hope ... a promise of "no borderline" This song has been with me since I was 19 ... and it's been places since ...

[@davidwynne2539]

If your still in Jordan or how in life you are now, It amazed me seeing your msg, I grew up in Ireland and lots of christie burgh stuff here, you need anything like a poster, let me know,,peace

Razan, love love love, enybody who likes Chris De is a friend to me! I'm in York UK, want a Pen-Pal? [e-mail]

[@TheBettyboo62]

This makes me so sad, I love it tho!! My daughter is 16 now, her dad never really met her and this was "our" song. He missed so much, and died before he could realise how wonderful and special she is xxx

[@bradtaggart5509]

😢 He knows.

[@union310]

God bless you both

[@infich827]

your daughter must be 25 now. Unthinkable

[@minatempest1707]

I discovered this song today. I wish it happened years ago. I am stunned by its depth and beauty. Thank you, Chris

[@rosswright5547]

I saw him perform this wonderful song in 1983 and it still moves me today.

[@DanielFranc35]

🎉you must be really proud of yourself youngster

[@greggwainwright824]

What a quality song brings back my younger day's hearing my mother's angelic singing through out the house. God bless

[@jamesmcmenamin8823]

A classic song from a classic artist, and a superb CD it comes from, ( the getaway).

[@ania19757]

I wish I ever had a chance to tell Chris how his songs affect me. To me this song is personal. And this concert version is even better than any other:)

[@fungustheturd5762]

16 Years ago you sent a message about a Chris De Burgh song. I wonder if you'll ever respond to this. :)

[@paulmalone1208]

Brings me back to the 80s when i had not a care in the world loved to listen to chris his songs always touched me and send me into another time storys and tales music like that is not around today.

[@alibekaman5130]

Единственное что осталось в мире-это музыка,она делает человека лучше

[@phennigan]

He supports Ukraine against the Russian killers killing children and babies. F U.

[@AvicSubfusca]

I am a huge fan of Chris De Burgh, but i've never seen this video before. WoW... pure heartstopping WoW! And when the crowd started bellowing out the chorus... Yikes! It's one of those precious, goosebump-inducing "F**k, I'm glad to be alive" moments...

[@dudleydog1612]

2023 and the folly of war goes on....

[@seanoakes569]

Absolute CLASSIC... Even now in 2019.... Are you here to listen to the REAL ‘ORIGINAL’... C de B... before he became.... COMMERCIAL? This performance... was OUTSTANDING 👏🏻

[@ACM4231]

Sean Oakes After 2008 i stopped listening to his new albums despite the fact that the last good album for me was Quite revolution. I have great memories with his old albums and don’t wanna ruin it with what u called commercial.

[@Ferryman1312]

I hear Chris for round about 15 Years now and he inspired me in so many ways. I saw him a couple of times live in Frankfurt and must say he is one of the best Entertainer in history of Music. "....if you need a light in a lonly night, carry me like a fire in your heart."

[@soupdragonuk]

a beautiful song. Just love the way the audience sings the chorus at the end. it always raises the hairs on my neck.

[@hellraisersteve]

A Beautiful song by a underated singer/writer/performer in my book chris is a legend!!!

[@deirdrekennedy6788]

This is incredible...so beautiful.

[@YassineYassine-u8z]

Thé Best singer after most songs that's make me feel flying... Really you're maestro

[@jimdoyles]

this chap use to live out the road from me in dalkey in ireland seen him on the beach one day fishing and having a beer i went over to say hello to him and he offered me a beer a gentleman with a great voice

[@Blueboy9055]

Painting pictures with words. Simply superb!

[@ttantoon]

this song makes my heart cry:(( it brings such a memories...i love this song, its so sad, but so beautiful at the same time

[@tyrecopper]

Cheers from Libya Chris 🌷👍 I was with the crowd back when I was student in Dublin. This brought tears to my eyes.

[@achimbauer2553]

Come together, no more war❣

[@stephencoles2048]

The best concert ever! He holds back nothing, professional to the bone!

[@gunnerlinde8916]

stephen coles yes

[@OneWold]

The man is an Icon, just like Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce that don't get the media hype because they are regular super talented people. I have been waiting for the day I can see him live in concert..Peace to All ...as he said there is no wisdom in War.

[@erolakyilmaz7965]

This is not only music it is high quality and also performance.

[@gabrielgraur]

Borderline...Missing you...Lady in Red...oh, what great moments years ago...Melancholic...just awesome song.

[@chaossophie46]

Dieses Leid erinnert mich an mein eigenes Leben und meine Krankheit die auch Boderline heißt. Alles im Leben ist ein Kampf und mit dieser Krankheit nur noch mehr...jetzt höre ich das Lied zum sechsten Mal hintereinander...es kommen einem die Tränen wenn man weiß, wovon da gesungen wird...Alles so wie der Titel es schon sagt: Grenzgänger!!! Es läuft alles ab wie im Krieg nur das man selber ein Krieg mit dem Leben führt...Thank you Chris de Burgh, I love it

[@thanksamill]

This is my favourite version of this CDB classic!! Goosebump City. ❤❤❤

[@rosita3671]

A poignant story sung by the One and Only…Chris deBurgh ❤✨🌟⭐️

[@transmissionends64]

What a fantastic song and what an amazing concert. It's Live from Dublin - and the crowd is behind him 100%. Love you CdeB!!!

[@claireqin208]

I am from China. I got to know this song in the 90s. I still love it.

[@annaanna6573]

Jedna z najkrajších pesničiek od Chrisa ( hoci ich má viac) vie o čom spieva a na nič sa nehrá ....je skromný a preto ho mám rada ....je to pán spevák.

[@onkelbuke]

best song ever, i alwys cry . thank you for this video. a live, a end, peace forever . chris.....

[@sabineseeger4524]

Play it louder Chris - they need to listen!!!!

[@anyonewitheyes]

Years pass and this lives forever

[@booopdooop]

Possibly the most overlooked artist of our time, a magnificent artist.

[@daveroberts1989]

i remember my dad loved this song and now when its on i also remember him

[@daveroberts1989]

i will never know how men can see wisdom in a war listen to this song bush and blare

[@kayhollings1777]

Oh, I have always hoped there are people that, like in the movies, fight theough anything, war, crossing countries and continents, everything, never forgetting, just to find each other again. I don't think that relationship exists, probably impossible really, and definitely a movie thing, but gee it fills me with hope that someone somewhere has experienced such love.

[@sleepsociety8297]

Having a rough moment, my go to, thankyou 🙏

[@kavanaghpaddy55]

@vinnynumbnuts ive been a fan all my life and always love to hear his songs what a fab singer

[@betlea8070]

Reminds me of my parents dancing and holding each other, the night before each time Dad deployed again. They'd then sit and hold each other, forehead to forehead and look into each others eyes and listen to Transmission Ends. Music is the most powerful and emotive thing on earth. There's a reason, thst when we die, our hearing is the last lost. As a child, you sing the music, as an adult, you feel it 💔

[@keithsimo52]

last concert in liverpool really rocked " you will never walk alone" raised the roof what a performer, singer ,person we love you chris joanne was so close great night

[@daveroberts1989]

this song reminds me of some one i love and miss every day thanks Chris 4 this song Chris i will always remember them in my heart

[@Lokandash]

If there's anyone on this world that's music can encompass all of my love and feelings with words and sound, it's Chris de Burgh's music.

[@farzad2007]

Thank you for this fantastic clip, this reminds me the 20 years ago when I was a soldier in Iran, during bloody Iran - Iraq war

[@ingriddorigo6278]

I saw him perform this in Toronto ontario Canada, still my Favourite Song.

[@brexitannia9703]

Beautiful tune for remembrance Sunday. From my favourite album spark to a flame

[@scuttx1]

[@АллаИванова-г7ш]

I neverr see the wisdom in a war!!! Золотые слова!!! Специально для РАССЕИ!

[@strgrlcrwy]

I can't even imagine how it must have felt to be there singing along like that. I've never been to a concert, but I wonder if any concerts are like this now. So amazing.

[@user-mq3ey4he1e]

in Dublin they are its in the blood 2 have a great time lol

[@89DreamingGirl]

Yeah, Chris is the best, he's the one!!! I was at his concert two days ago in Warsaw and I must say that it was the best concert in my life! Also this song was...brilliant, he is still so full of good energy and his voice...like angel

[@delapanella]

He really did unforgetable song... Borderline, Missing You (accoustic version) and the brilliant Lady in Red!

[@NimavatCR]

Also, Sailing away.

[@NimavatCR]

Dude! It's been 14 years! How you doing?

[@cilldroichid]

In among a lot of mush Chris de Burgh had a few fine moments, this being one of the best.

[@shaunmurphy5950]

Fabulous song been a favourite for years

[@JackyKM]

:°( Bringt mich immer wieder zum weinen das Lied ! Voll schön !

[@daveroberts1989]

this was put on at my m8s funraal allways reminds me thanks chris

[@allaboutmoxie]

I practically grew up on his music - my dad is a big fan - and this song has always been one of our favorites... Most people my age (20) have maybe heard of Lady in Red, but nothing else, while my dad and I still have sing-alongs

[@festeradams3972]

With the passing years, death is now the border that we cannot cross. We can look only thru the window of memory, for the window has sadly closed...

[@valeriejones4073]

To the boys out there fighting for our way of life this goes out to you

[@4EyedAnimation]

what?

[@stewartsanders8196]

Valerie Jones Chris's country is ARGENTINA -------""""""""PMSL"""""""--------

[@bushehr]

just perfect, greetings from Iran

[@Geebsie]

As relevant and moving today, especially today of all days, 24 February 2022, as it ever has been. "But these are only boys, and I will never know How men can see the wisdom in a war."

[@shogbeniabolajihakeem6889]

Well, this is a time travel machine that takes me back to my teenage years. So fond of the music that I visualise myself in the scene of the message and theme of the song.

[@ourliam4482]

Takes me back to when we were kids and our mam used to have this album on a casette tape and blast it all the time 😂

[@romanpaving2879]

Great song this is,,, so much emotion. What a singer Chris deburgh really is. We've strayed so far from this type of talent. Nowadays if you look the part you've got it 🤔 Sad really. Bring out the men and women who can really sing and transport a human being to a place in time were it really hits home,, Not because of what they look like,,,,looks will fade with time, but that voice, my word. Let the people sing who can sing no matter there race, no matter there looks

[@Dragonpower222]

yes its so sad.. i love this song.. Chris de Burgh is de best singer ever alive! Rolling through the countryside, Tears are in my eyes, We're coming to the borderline, I'm ready with my lies, And in the early morning rain, I see her there, And I know I'll have to say goodbye again; (L)

[@ldolphin34]

I have a special friend whom isn't from the country I am from, whom I think of when this song plays. I gave her the Spark To A Flame compilation and she loved it, as she always will love me. Unfortunately, our Borderline wall has not been torn down.

[@pegster6]

There is not a single artist in the 00s that can touch Chris for pure talent.

[@MrHAT23]

Thank you for the music... CDB's music, his inspired lyrics is a part of my life... probably one of the best ones...

[@soupdragonuk]

this is one of his best songs it's so haunting and yet beautiful at the same time. It always sends a chill down me when the crowd sing the chorus at the end.

[@ACM4231]

One of the best versions ever

[@Fabyr]

Wonderful song and a great singer:the text is also amazing:Thanks

[@Danseba]

I didn´t knew that a video was released to the conert in Dublin... i just have the CD... He is a great Singer and Songwriter and one of my faves^^

[@jbfan2000]

[@carvao1]

[@Ehtelle]

[@vollog]

CdeB has ruled the music world for more than 3 decades, God bless you.

[@stephenlewis3258]

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS HE'S MADE, THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY, BEAUTIFUL

[@onedayinseptember]

So beautiful, perfect for many sad occasions.

[@GothCharlieBear]

The live in dublin Cd is my favourite! I wish I could of been there. But just wow! This is my favourite song of his!

[@МаяТолкачева]

[@ThomVP]

I just came back safe. This song helps me when i got home! Thanks chris!

[@lyfft]

My brother died a long time, by his own hand, the border line came too soon. He lost the war of life. Too much fighting, too little love. I miss him after all these years still. He was brave until the end. That's why he left. He couldn't take it any more.

[@eoinbyrne1975]

Sorry to read the above, hope your ok

[@cortinadale]

a brilliant song by an amazing artist

[@mirayseven8750]

LOVE IS STRONGER THAN THAN ARMIES Long live Chris de BURGH ❤

[@paulinacorrea9371]

Absolutely wonderful. It fills my heart and soul..I adore you Chris

[@jgventer]

ronpieles, I was a medic in the South African Defence Force and I know what you are saying, I treated and lost many buddies and soldiers fighting in a war that it's only meaning was who get what? The song is Great but too many bad memories.

[@TheBettyboo62]

Love this, but bitter sweet memories come with it!XX

[@tito1044]

Unos de lo mejores canta autor de musica lentas ochentozos...un grande. y encima nacio en ARGENTINA....CAPOOOOOOOOO

[@TheFreakandaGeek]

Chris De Burgh must be one of the best songwriters this world has ever seen. Anyone who doubts this should take the Crusader album, put it on in a dark room and listen. Up to, and including, The Getaway there wasn't a bad song recorded. Lady In Red was the end of the songwriting talent as he suddenly realised he could make vasts sums of money from mushy pop songs and didn't need to write meaningful songs anymore as the homegenous slush song lovers would pay his salary..

[@friendlyboylulea]

What a great song!!!! Thanks for posting

[@JL-gf3yc]

1 of the most underrated songs ever

[@wozg360]

Love this song my fave is the ferryman just love his spark to a flame album relaxes me so much brilliant!

[@cyballypig]

His songs are brilliant. There is so much meaning in them.
