Chris De Burgh Don't Pay The Ferryman (Original Official)

Taken from the 1982 album, The Getaway

How did I not hear this song before? I’m a 40 year old man who loves 80’s music! What a fantastic song!

[@screwyootube1]

Well, for starters, this wasn’t necessarily a big hit. It barely cracked the top 40, and Classic Oldies/80s radio never plays it. Heck, Classic Rock radio doesn’t play it any more. But it’s a fantastic song, indeed!

The 80s spoiled us…Proof! Here I go again. Great song. Chris delivered a song us 80s kids will remember forever. After all, we are listening to it right now (now is relative to when you are hearing it). Don’t Pay The Ferryman is exactly what the 80s was in terms of music. Our music was all over the place. A little pop-rock with a British sound. It was so great to have the 80s musical landscape unfolding around us. If nothing else in the world was good, our music always was. The 80s spoiled us…

@William HELLHASEYIS I didn’t like it either, I always felt it was a ripoff of Wonderful Tonight.

[@spedc]

This song now has new meaning for me. On 6/11/23, through no fault of my own, my house caught fire and burned to the ground. It was devistating. I lost all the content and house. All that being said, the most devistating part, I lost 2 of my cats. Both were sisters from the same litter, they just turned 3 years old and they were the most precious kittens I've ever had. Loving, sweet and so cute. Hearing this song now, I WOULD pay the ferryman right now, if it would bring those 2 girls back to me. I'm so heartbroken about this.

The interesting thing is that it's actually the Acheron that the ferryman carries you across, not the river Styx. The Romans changed the original Greek legend.

Marlborough college !

[@darwinxke2827]

Over the river Styx..

[@spedc]

And the reason you didn't pay until you got to the other side was, if you paid the ferryman early, he would dump you in the river Styx and you would never make to the otherside! He would take your money a leave you in pergatory, never to make it to the afterlife.
