Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive

[@katherinemooney-haley3916]

My big brother loved Flogging Molly. He died in 2005, and this song was played at his service. I use to cry hearing it, but now it never fails to put a smile on my face. Such a great song.

[@tracyt4454]

I lost my older sister last year in July; this song still tears me up, but also makes me feel better. Strange how music can be so cathartic.

[@IluvAnita113]

My best friend who was my brother in arms in Iraq loved this song and we used to sing it in the barracks while playing out guitars. Unfortunately a road side bomb took him from this world and I played and sang this for him at his funeral before the 21 gun salute put him in the ground with our other brothers and sisters in arms. I still play this song and listen to this song remembering him and his sacrifice for our country. Rest in peace brother and your memory lives on through your young son who just started playing the guitar and learning this song from your brother.

[@ryandavidson3660]

I always think about a context for singing this beautiful song...or receiving it. I've tried to master it on guitar but also thought I'd like it on my way out. I'm so glad you sent your friend out with it. I'm sure that even without meaning to, I'll now think of you dear friend when I hear it. Take care!

On February 17,2014 we lost our 'extra son'. From the moment he and our son met, they were instant best friends. Those who knew them said that they were brothers at heart. We always said, "God separated them, because He knew one family couldn't raise both of them in one house!" When they met in 2005, we had no clue how our families would grow together. 2009, we took Schyler with us on a trip to my family's hometown.2009, we learned that Schyler had leukemia. He fought a true battle, and in January of 2013, he was declared in remission. Just weeks later, brought the news that it was back, and the news wasn't good. Schyler left us on February 17,2014. One of the gifts he and our son gave us, was a love for all things Flogging Molly. I grew to truly love the band!! Being Irish, it struck a chord with me, the likes of which I've never again experienced. I had the blessing of helping with Schy's funeral. I was not expecting what I heard, because of his Mom's comments. When I heard your song, I truly wept. To this day, that song is one of the most powerful and inspirational songs of my life. I will never forget the two of them singing your songs in perfect synchronicity. It was always a mesmerizing thing. I just want to thank you for following your gift, and blessing all of us with your talent.

I miss my Dad so much. This song always reminds me of him.

[@mitchellblake1475]

First time I heard this song was yesterday, it just kinda started as I was driving. It was the 6th year anniversary of losing my uncle who was all I had as a father figure. Amazing song and I can't be more thankful for the feeling it gave me yesterday. It almost felt like he was sending me a message

[@popsucks111]

I'd take a moment to thank Mr. King. Thank you so much for substantially improving the quality of my life. Thank you for tunes like this and others which somehow manage to always make me smile. Thank you sir.

[@little_wonderer9290]

I bet he loves the instruments and the cadence LOL

[@carlyshmeeschumer1076]

i've loved this song for years and decided this year to actually live the spirit of the song and shared this song to my best friend of all time for her birthday. Considering none of us can actually "leave this world alive" i suggest you do the same. its a beautiful message to give to anyone you care about.

[@thewarsmith1078]

[@jennimcglone9093]

My Bumpa, who gave me my namesake passed earlier this December. We are saluting him with full Air Force honors on Friday. This song makes me weep. He only cared about his family. These are very close to his words he left in his will. So proud to be his granddaughter.

[@trumanhart2803]

I too lost someone, my little brother. He was 29 years old and we were ten months apart. He loved the color green. The dark green, not neon or bright green, well not all bright greens. St Patrick’s day is tomorrow. We were the only 2 of us. It’s just me. I miss you so much David. You were here exactly 1 year ago, I did it dude I bought the first Hart Brother house. You’d like it. Folks I cry everyday for my brother and it sucks. I wanna just be able to deal with the pain. Crying doesn’t bring him back and it makes me feel powerless. Like I didn’t take care of him.... I love you Too Tall! I hope your energy explores this planet the way you did.

[@showkatbashir4147]

I wish I had a magic trick to take away all your pain. Love form other side of the world ❤️

[@blazperko726]

[@davidrevelle4328]

RIP Mr Jerry Lyle Dawe. My friend , mentor, and second dad. I was 19 when I met you. You always had a smile and kind words. Not to mention your mastery of music led to some interesting nights. He left this world in 2015. 2 days before my birthday. This song gives me comfort.

[@MrRacine67]

[@sappysav7445]

I'm 15 almost 16 and my dad told me a few years ago that this is the song he wants to be remembered by, he died last year, next month is the memorial of one of the worst days of my life and so so traumatic and unexpected. I come back to this song and just cry cause I miss him so much even if he wasn't the best person.

[@solveigschreiber8991]

Ich habe meinen Papa vor fast 7 Jahren mit diesem Lied verabschieden müssen und es tut immer noch weh. Alles Liebe

[@oliversacco7320]

[@reneecoffey3594]

Played this at my husband's funeral. Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of him. I would love to see them play this when they come here on tour.

[@weswolever7477]

[@tamic6945]

Like all the others, I want this played at my funeral...love this!!

[@PetesWhiteRabbit]

I'm sick a lot. And have always known I'll die before everyone I love. When I'm sick bad and am depressed feeling close to death. This song helps me to think, it'll be okay and I can come back down and sit at the feet of my true love when I go. I may cry the whole song but it helps. Makes me cherish the people who love me. And truly thank them for the things they did in my life. However long or short it turns out to be.

[@stoots1000]

I hope everything is better for you...and you are a beautiful woman...

[@isaloser422]

I commented on this video about 3 years ago, simply stating how much I love the Irish culture. Just wanted to say I went to see Flogging Molly last night. What an experience! Irish people know how have fun and they love football!❤️ You guys are amazing, don't ever forget that! Hopefully visiting Ireland this Thanksgiving! So stoked! I have a feeling I won't want to come back to the States haha

[@soldier2297]

[@johnharmer5201]

One of the deepest song if you listen. Not many songs make me think about life, like this song does. LOVE FLOGGING MOLLY....

[@weddykayls]

This was my dads funeral song. He always loved Ireland a year ago today he left to go to Ireland for a week🍀 23/2/17

[@dibigmitch]

I remember seeing them for the first time in 2003. It was my brothers 14th birthday and a guy we grew up with was killed that morning, he was supposed to go to the show with us. Not sure who said something to the band, but they played this song for him that night. It was a hell of a thing and made a whole bunch of small town kids feel special while we remembered our friend. 16 years later and this song still brings back memories.

[@gregj8316]

my old lady made it to the end of her road this song puts such a vivid picture of her in my head
