"Requiem for Luke Kelly" Never was a voice so pure/ never was a voice more effortless/ never was a voice more haunting/ never was a singer so haunted/ never was Death so jealous/ never will his like come again/ if Luke is not in heaven/ never is there nor was there a God.

Lukey was special. Bless your soul brother

[@williammacdonald3327]

A great piece of rare footage! A big cheers to the uploader.

[@perkarstenjappee3786]

The problem is that the uploader has just stolen it, and don`t know anything about the film. Film of this age is usually on 16mm, and it costs a LOT to make it into a dvd. And who in their right mind will invest money into something that ends up for free on KZbin.

[@UISTMAN59]

@@perkarstenjappee3786 You don't know whether the upoader has "stolen" it. It doesn't neccesarily cost a fortune to make it into a DVD. There is not suggestion that anyone has done that. The problem is really that the recording is now that great, the whistle playing nothing special and Luke has sung this better and with better accompaniment many times over - as can easily be seen all over YT.

[@maxfieldstanton4541]

I don't know the woman sitting at his side, but I see the pain in her eyes. I don't know what's going through her mind, what her day or her week has been to this point, but I do know one thing...the fear and anxiety that Luke singing this lovely tune could end with with that whole room in an English prison camp or worse exicuted. I may be many miles away in a foreign land, and many generations removed from my ancestors who were stolen by the English to slave away in the tobacco fields of Savannah, but I will never rest until they atone for the pain they have caused not only to the children of Eiren but the world.

[@Condobius]

Far be it from me to shatter the romance, but nobody in Luke Kelly’s day was ever under threat of imprisonment or execution (!) for singing rebel songs. Maybe back in the 19th century, or in the days around the Independence War but certainly not any time since then - even in the six counties. Especially no one as famous or well known as Mr. Kelly, and this was recorded in 1967.

[@maxfieldstanton4541]

@@Condobius hate to be the one to break the romantic propaganda, but since you mentioned 1969 let's talk about the Troubles. This, well troubling time, in Irish history could arguably have begun August 12, 1969 with the Battle of Bogside. Despite the what your propaganda would tell you, the RIC and the RUC throughout Irish history has been known to arrest and murder Irish people for no reason. We have video footage and living memory testimony of these kinds of human rights violations. You spreading this misinformation is an insult to the innocent men, women and CHILDREN that the crown has murdered in their colonial occupation of Ulster.

[@JimMcCrudden-w6g]

@@Condobius sneer if you want, but I’d love you to say that to one of the McCruddens or McParlands or McKeons who died after this song was written. Have you got a relative in the RUC? My mother and father lived through the Belfast Pograms in the 20’s. At the age of 7 I used to sing, “And the songs that we sung/ Would’ve near got you hung/ on the stone outside Dan Murphy’s door.

[@Condobius]

@user-fg3ei7pp4v I’m certainly not trying to “sneer”, and I consider myself a republican. What I am saying is that rebel bands like the Wolfe Tones played for large public audiences in those days, and Luke Kelly was quite a well known singer too. Concert-goers and artists didn’t end up in camps or shot by the paras for attending these shows. Of course some musicians were targeted by loyalists like the Miami Showband but they weren’t exactly political. I’m sure an RUC trooper or B-special might’ve knocked your head in during ‘69 or something for singing, but generally speaking rebel songs weren’t winding people up in “British prison camps or executed” as the person above said. Luke Kelly wasn’t going to be locked up for singing Rising of the Moon.

[@maxfieldstanton4541]

@@Condobius Thanks for the insight. I'm still learning about Irish history; we're pretty removed from it here in the States. At the time that I wrote this I didn't have the understanding of The Troubles like I do now, I'm still not sure if this is even the right time period. I also don't think I fully understood the previous comment. In the good faith of reclaiming the knowledge of my heritage, I endeavor to gather as much as I can from any sources I can. In the States it basically stops at the Famine and then goes into Irish American history, so conversations like this help me get a better understanding. My original comment was more about how pensive and nervous the woman looks, like she's afraid something could happen. It's my understanding that feelings like that were very real for people of the time.

@@jessesands4099 Each to their own. I feel PP&M version was a serious tone and in a minor key to express tragedy better.

[@exoplanet11]

I didn't think you were serious, but I guess you are. I haven't heard the PPM version so won't comment. I will say this: for American Folk singers in the 1960s it makes sense to sing this song with a tragic tinge, as the song describes an ultimately failed rebellion. But from the perspective of an Irish person before 1921, it was probably important that such a song be up tempo, strong, vibrant and inspiring revolt, not simply lament.

[@rondelby2482]

@@jessesands4099 I did not say it was better.I guess as a PP&M fan, I lean toward their version. I like minor key versions also. Not saying their version was better, I love PP&M version Both are good.
