[@millyjames7891]

I've not an Irish bone in me. But I love Christy Moore. Saw him years ago in the Albert Hall. Hairs on the back of the neck. His Isle of Man song I play every time I go to the Island.

What a great song! Thank to Christy you for singing Shane's lyrics with with the passion and feeling like no one else could. Ah, but this song breaks my heart after all these years of dreading Christmas. For that matter the whole holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years day is something I survive and (forgive me Lord) sometimes wish I didn't.

[@davidparnell1893]

I must have been asleep at the base of a tree for a couple of decades...I awoke today to find Christy Moore's music. I've always wondered why Irish music and intrumentation gave me gooosebumps. There's something in my DNA I suspect. Christy Moore reminds me of what Studs Terkel would sound like if he had been a musician rather than a writer. My favorite version of an R.E.M song was performed by The Corrs, an Irish Band. Christy Moore can almost explain the meaning of life itself in his lyrics and voice. (Just by accident I live in a little community called "Moore" way down south.)

[@MickyOHanlon2262]

Christy......simply the best there is that's still doing it. God bless ya Christy.

Incredible storytelling and incredible music. Christy's version always brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.

His voice runs through my soul and soothes me.....Christmas symbolises an awful lot to many people who are reminded of their losses and of course be grateful for what they have.....it's a hard time for many...bitter sweet time for me...

I'd just been listening to some Glen Hansard and this performance popped into my head. It's September and I hate Christmas, that's how good this is.

[@calvinfolan1736]

Christy Moore is one of a kind -- no one sings with the emotion that he does; I love him.

[@dannymyles22]

Shameful that Im from Newbridge myself and I've only ever seen Christy live just once! It was one of the best nights I've ever had and it was great to see that kids of all ages were in attendance to see such a great man. I remember getting a photo with him after and realising I was actually standing right beside the man himself and it remains one of my proudest moments in life to date

This version is a very close second to The Pogues. I mean that as a compliment, but The Pogues version will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@aaronbennett7474]

Thing that the OG has is kirsty Maccoil playing the female part and Shane playing the male...this version he plays both....this one feels like real Republic Irish singing...but its not the same without Mrs Maccoll...God bless

[@jamiefoyers2800]

Better version than the original I reckon...it's got more of a punch just with an acoustic guitar and the attention to the lyrics...

[@theliamofella]

I love the original version of course, but I do really like this version

[@lemonaid2216]

I agree. I think Christy's version is better, but not sure if this is because the original has become so ubiquitous and this is different.
