What a song! This rendition is so powerful and heartfelt. After listening to this, you could take on anything!

I love this song and rendition. This is a song about defiance and survival in the face of oppression. It is also a song of Celtic Nationalism in the face of Anglo Privilege. Regardless, this is an anthem for Liberty Against Oppression. I listen to it and I feel the blood in my veins, the tears in my eyes and the happiness of freedom

Some think this is a song about loss and defeat. But it's about Defiance and survival in the face of injustice. And God damn, I come here when I need it.

Also a song that mentions a real person from the great hunger famine’s history.
@vladtairov2721 Жыл бұрын
It's about how the British artificially exacerbated the famine as a means of oppressing the Irish people, then when Irish people took the food grown by Irish hands on Irish soil from the English land barons who were exporting it and letting them starve, they were then shipped off to penal colonies.
This is an amazing rendition of this beautiful song. My favourite version by miles. Brings a tear to my eye almost every time. Thank you Murphy Bhoys!!

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling "Michael, they have taken you away For you stole Trevelyan's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay" [Chorus] Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry [Verse 2] By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled, they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity" [Chorus] Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry [Verse 3] By a lonely harbor wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure, she'll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry [Chorus] It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

I heard this version first, and live, also. There is something about the Dubliner's singing it that I love a little more. Dropkick did this song a good bit of justice for making a folk song into a different form of music. I know they like covering songs, anyway.

Copied from others in cyberspace: When you hear all the traditional versions of Fields of Athenry, you feel so deeply sorry for the Irish. When you hear Dropkick Murphys' version, you start feeling sorry for the English!
