This song will always be a reminder of 2018. I was in a biker bar in Arizona, and a woman was singing this song. The whole bar sang along, and it was great. There was beer and liquor flying all over the place. Best year of my life I'd say.

Not a sailor. Not Irish. Have no tattoos. Just a broken & lost 35 y.o. man. But just every word in this song resonates deep inside of me. It took like 50+ times to learn to listen to this without shedding a tear or two. Absolutely favourite song of all time. When I’m down, I remember how many views this video has. For me it means, that I’m way not alone like this. It helps. Thanks, Dropkick Murphys, for this feeling. Thanks for your great music.

Lyrics: The pictures tell the story This life had many shades I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette That smoldered in its tray Down a little something and then be on my way I traveled far and wide And laid this head in many ports I was guided by a compass I saw beauty to the north I drew the tales of many lives And wore the faces of my own I had these memories all around me So I wouldn't be alone Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo This ones for the mighty sea Mischief, gold and piracy This ones for the man that raised me Taught me sacrifice and bravery This ones for our favorite game Black and gold, we wave the flag This ones for my family name With pride I wear it to the grave Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo This one means the most to me It stays here for eternity A ship that always stays the course An anchor for my every choice A rose that shines down from above I signed and sealed these words in blood I heard them once, sung in a song It played again and we sang along You'll always be here with me Even if you're gone You'll always have my love Our memory will live on Some may be from showing up Others are from growing up Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you I've got your name written here In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo With pride I'll wear it to the grave for you In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo I've got your name written here, In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo In a rose tattoo Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you

"Signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you"... he's been gone 10 years now. This song is a bittersweet tribute to my first love and biggest hero whenever I hear it.

@ Vivienne Clarke: I thank you for your kind words. My Gordie (named for Gordie Howe [long story]) was truly a part of the family towards the end. He was very bright, highly trained/empathetic & worked to protect me from my epileptic fits. His lymphoma took him in 3days; I couldn’t bear to see him suffer. People in the neighborhood didn’t like seeing me without a dog though. They thought I was only half a person. My mother and I don’t drive so friends of ours took us to the Humane Society. I only rescue dogs; I couldn’t give a s**t about purebreds & would rather give a nice home to someone who truly needs it. I HAD a Walker Coon Hound & really wanted one again; there wasn’t anyone even resembling my Gordie (physically) but I found a very sweet, extremely handsome (dark brindle), brilliant, mischievous, affectionate, counter surfer extraordinaire who believes EVERYONE exists to pet him. He is 5 years old (I prefer adult dogs; Gordie was 7 when I adopted him), loves everyone, and is in “discussions” with me atm about which side of the bed is HIS and which is MINE. I named him “Moritz” after my best friend in Germany’s son (age 15)-but only after getting express permission to do so. I’ve never had children before so my animals have always been my children. THIS dog identified me as “mama” in under 5 mins when we went to the “meet & greet room”; I am also gradually teaching him German (not just commands). I had another dog, Hannelore, who was completely bilingual-so I know it’s possible if the dog is smart enough (I was a high school German teacher before I became disabled). As for whether the dogs I’ve had are in heaven, well I’m an agnostic. I was raised Lutheran but the whole heaven/hell concept rather weirds me out a bit. I’d like to believe they’re in a nice place-but I don’t know and I’m not comfortable with a lot of the rest of that. I just comfort myself with the fact that I alleviated Gordies suffering and Moritz is lying next to me as I write this.

Same as mate. Metal is my religion, especially prog, but I love these guys so much. Proper working class lyrics and the upbeat celtic music make it all the more heartwarming. Maybe being Irish has a little bit to aid, too.😂

Have you listened to the Rumjacks? Same vibe, but even more so.
