On Raglan Road

[@johndoyle2397]

I think the most beautiful song of unrequited love

[@patrickmcelligott5646]

The chap singing third is clear and powerful, many thanks to him! Love this song, and you all do it such justice!! Thank you all! Slainte!

[@ThefightingCelt]

Possibly the most beautiful song ever written about unrequited love .

[@patmcdonagh748]

So true.

[@Scanjoon]

OMG! Ronnie Drew has been resurrected through his son, Phelim Drew. That voice cannot be replicated by/through anyone else.

[@fenoloveslinda]

In my opinion Irish traditional music and singers are on a different level to the rest of the world! Each singer in this beautiful song had goosebumps on my arms and had me replaying it over and over again. maith sibh a chairde! 💚💟🧡

[@jamesdolan4042]

I remember from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s when this beautiful Patrick Kavanagh "Raglan Road" song/poem was frowned upon in Ireland during the time of the never ending economic doom and immigration in the South, and nauseating non ceasing conflict in the North. The song was seen as hokey, and harking back to even a worse era, the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s. Patrick Kavanagh chose two lovely Dublin streets for his poem/ballad. The fancy pedestrian Grafton Street just south of the city center, and the tree lined with Georgian houses Raglan Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

[@feardorcha4686]

You can literally walk from the St. Stephens Green, end of Grafton st. Down to Baggot St. lower then upper and hit the junction of Raglan Rd. The joys of being brought up in that neck of the woods (D2 ...going to school in D4).

[@gussiebb5993]

Phelim Drew has his ol mans pipes

[@patkinsch6194]

I knew that voice instantly! Love it. Ronnie, you're still wid us!!!!!

What a wonderful performance . Such beautiful singing voices , Breathing .Thank You All.

[@maysheridan9119]

What a wonderful performance Beautiful singing voices . Just breathtaking. Thank you all.

[@CaesarInVa]

That's was beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes as the memories of my ballerina came flooding back. Even though its been nearly 40 years, I can still feel the softness of her skin and her long cascading hair that blocked out intruding eyes like a black waterfall at midnight.

[@jameslangan7357]

What a reply. It was a poignant portrayal of the effects of love that touches all. My compliments.

[@tamar-cita2540]

Like the mix of people and voices, yet at the same time is pure Irish...

[@JakeWalshMusic]

Sean O Se will go on forever - what a man!

[@1earflapping]

Yes!

[@seattlecavanaugh]

So beautiful! I have always loved Luke Kelly’s version, which is a tough listen but matches the pain of the singer/poet. This version is just so beautiful, love it!!

[@maysheridan9119]

Beautiful singers and music, very enjoyable just breathtaking. Thank you all.

[@johndoyle2397]

So much melancholy sadness. Imiss her so much

[@denisconnaughton2923]

My God this is so beautiful. Incredible voices. Blown away.

[@TooStinkinFine]

That's one of the most beautiful sounds I've heard... Each voice was unique and wonderful. Perfect fit of voices and the musicians were wonderful. Thank you for that moment.....

[@ddoiofys7860]

Need a full version of this song by Daoiri Farrell

[@micko6393]

Daoirí Farrell is some man.

[@stevebirmingham9650]

Brilliant outstanding stunning , such a collection of voices the power of words and music you could not pick just one performer its a balance of all a synergy of all beautiful, that what you call a keeper

Lovely version. Thank you. One of my favourite songs. Resonates so much for me.

[@nigelmurphy6761]

Beautiful song. Pure poetry.

[@padrina1]

Tears to my eyes xxxxx

[@truedat4368]

My grandfather a proud Dublin man used to drink with Patrick Kavanagh occasionally..they shared a surname a slightly bittered view on life and a fondness for the drink. Lovely version of Raglan Road.

[@feardorcha4686]

Loah stood out for me!

[@sydsmith8197]

I love this version.

[@robertmcdowell6935]

This is amazing ..All amazing so cant pick one out..ok I will the guy that kicked it all off is Fantastic...well done to all involved tho

[@johnduggan3888]

This is brilliant❤❤❤

[@ginapsaki8746]

What a fantastic concept, beautifully realized. I already loved this song dearly; now thanks to this recording I've learned of several singers new to me--their variety makes it soar even more than one "ideal" rendition does.

[@murrayeldred3563]

LOVELY.

[@johndoyle2397]

Beautiful

[@steph29bzh12]

Patrick Kavanagh

[@turidoreilly9078]

Brilliant

[@Nikolaus580]

Grossartig! (Great!)

[@johndoeman9187]

In truth this song was originally a poem which a middle aged irish poet wrote in anger against a young woman who dumped him and who he claimed was a gold digger.

[@johndoeman9187]

And of course he claims he is an angel, talk about ego.

[@John-ro1iv]

Kavanagh was a tormented boyo as we all know. Most artists are a bit fruity if we're being honest.

[@lizburgessmb]

They weren’t in a relationship, it was unrequited love ... they had a good friendship and she was wealthier than him!

[@voicesteeler]

Wow.

[@annmariefinnigan3096]

I sent my only copy of this to Brother (Patrick @ Sancta Maria Abbey,Nunraw)a 1,000 years ago. Wish I had another copy of to play now.

[@fenoloveslinda]

Paddy Casey is the first one and the old man is Sean o se and the guy that talks is Phelim Drew, Ronnie Drew (from the original dubliners) son. He sounds exactly like him

[@4EyedAnimation]

@@fenoloveslinda Thanks...love this song especially Mary Black's version

[@johndoyle2397]

The best rendition is luke kelly

[@niallmartin9063]

Love the soft irish voices, is that blonde woman american? She does the slightly country harmonies. Could listen all night.

[@auroralaka6206]

Seriously leave Raglan Road alone. Nobody will ever beat Luke Kelly performing it. These people don’t have the old Dublin accent which gives the song its unique sound.

[@seanoreilly3806]

The poet is from Monaghan so no need for a Dubliner n accent The girl of his desire is from Kerry

[@joeblogs1236]

Why not enjoy a magnificent performance, yes Luke Kelly's performance of it is excellent, so to is George Murphy just relax and enjoy.

[@pab3993]

Beautiful voices, the loah girls voice didn't go with song out place. But all great

[@robinstephenson8337]

Love the song but this doesn't work for me.

[@seandonaghy2473]

But as for this version? You must be joking!

[@MartinDKing]

Sibéal Ní Chaside opens her mouth, and all other singers, are pale in comparison... wow!

[@niallmartin9063]

She's channelling something ancient and celtic. Mesmerising.

[@MickyO567]

It's the song/lyrics.... No need for people or diversity videos ??

devoid of originality, mediocre rubbish that is being promoted in adverts . .

You wrote the same comment twice in a row and gave both of them a thumbs up yourself. Were you drinking at the time? A year on and not one other soul gave you a like.
