Still listening to this Gem of a song❤️ in 2019

[@declanhenrick3502]

2020, just shared on Facebook and said pretty much the same thing

2022 and I'm still here listening, my favourite band ever❤❤

[@foxstumblesnorth]

@Pdunnoable "Rocky Took a Lover" was written and recorded in 2005, and "Falling Slowly" was written and recorded in 2006. It would be pretty difficult for Bell X1 to copy a song that didn't exist at the time. And Glen would roll his eyes at you if he ever read your comment. He, unlike you, has class. "Better to keep your mouth closed and have people assume you are an idiot than open your mouth and prove them right."

[@decotronq9054]

😂😂😂 I presume the dickhead deleted his comment 🤡

Watching and listening on St Patrick's Day, 2020, in self imposed isolation awaiting the Covid-19 tsunami to sweep across the land. Here's to rocky and his lover - may we all get lucky in the weeks ahead.

[@killbuzzinton]

2021 is still the same with paddy's day cancelled and in lockdown so let's enjoy this song together 😁

Probably the best irish song in 20 years, amazing

The sun gives life and it takes it away. But like all the greats it will burn out some day. id retire on them lyrics lol this small country has some talent.

Come back to this every now and again. It's brilliant and so honest

[@meiseymac]

I love art when it is described to me, when the person who created the art explains what it meant to them and this does all of that so it is more than art. This song is poetry., it is also literature. I hope it is as loved by you as it is loved by me and the people I have introduced to it. Long live real acoustic lyrical music.

[@lovelyloni8711]

Where the couple from fairytale of New York ended up!! Reminds me so much of that song !

[@McDania]

I first heard this song when I stumbled upon this same exact video over 4 years ago, still sends chills down my spine every time!

I love the intro of what the song is about at the start.

[@sloucifer]

it is the story behind this and all of they're songs that set them apart from everyone else! I can't stop listening to this song - almost everytime I log on - it gets played - Very rare can any band do that for anyone.

Bell X 1 please don't ever blow up and loose your roots. I lived in Smithfield in Arran Quay, if only I knew.

[@shaynaoneill160]

Love it - heard this @ 7 years ago - the studio produced version, much prefer this - for what it's worth (,my opinion, that is)

[@daviddoran6194]

Lived in Arbor hill for a few years back in the day. Great memories

[@markf9572]

A beautiful version of an amazing song, and the explanation of its meaning, just gives it extra poignancy.

[@carolynbuckley1859]

Perfect conservation sung by displaced lovers in living

[@bill11097]

@AlphaSpartanOmega You mustn't ever give up ever. People haven't treated you right but one day you'll find the perfect person, and cause of all the shit you've been through you'll value it so much more than if you haven't. I've been cheated on before so i know how you feel, sometimes it's cause the person makes a mistake or is just an ass who doesn't understand the workings of emotions, my guy made a mistake and i forgave him it took a long time and alot of tears, but maybe it'll all be worth it

[@ewanbyrne]

i like the story :)

[@colliedoran]

i absolutely luv dis song. its lyk my fav acoustic song eva! if any1 knows wer it can be dowloaded tell me plz!!!
