CHRISTY MOORE BACK HOME IN DERRY live at Barrowland

written by BOBBY SANDS

[@thelolguy007]

I’m ashamed to say I’ve known this song for years, for most of my life but I’ve only just learned that Bobby Sands wrote it. Talk about a whole new meaning 👏👏👏 🇮🇪

[@witsunshifrin3776]

no shame mate, but what a coincidence that while he suffered and starved himself he created something so strong and expressive. a real talent. Much respect..

[@chrick1916]

Christy has sung afew of bobby's songs

[@littlebooks4760]

No Shame

[@maxinesutcliffe5766]

Please don't feel bad, I lost my brother in October and learned so much about him from this song.😭 We learn about life every day😊

[@randommandem9801]

Just found out from your comment. I used to live next door to the plough pub in Dublin and all rebel music would keep me awake all night as have lock ins next door. Didn't know it was boby sands that wrote it

I'm Irish, but I'm also a Michigander, and this tune is the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

[@Dylanesque]

I certainly recognise strains of that exceptional track. RIP Gordon. You gave us some fantastic songs.

[@poorpaddy7803]

I think Bobby Sands used the classic folk process when he wrote it, and nicked the melody from what we now call a 'banger" of a tune. RIP both himself and Gordon

[@mindmelter7208]

@@poorpaddy7803Based on what I read on wikipedia the Christy Moore Version is the first one to do it to the tune of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

[@DM-GRPRT]

When asked about it, Gordon Lightfoot said 'I always knew that was an old Irish tune'.

I am Australian, and my ancestors are mainly Irish. I hear this song in 2022 and I grieve for my ancestors. They didn't all come out here like this song; but I understand a lot of history through this song. I live each day knowing the First Nations people of this land were treated no differently than the Irish. I am a rebel.

It's great that he died of hunger. it must have been fucking agony to commit suicide like that. And for nothing! Ireland is still Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is still that. He was a bit dim-witted, wasn't he? Like a silly Japanese kamikaze. What a silly boy.
