Paul Kelly - Deeper Water (Live)

[@declanmcdermott]

Arrived here in Oz in March 2016, from Dublin, Never heard of this man until then, He has blown my mind with his music and lyrics and I am currently buying every album he has released, Paul is the most amazing song writer I have come across to date, As irony would have it, The month I arrive here, Paul tours Dublin........Typical...But glad I have found Paul Kelly and his beautiful songs

[@woopimagpie]

Welcome to you mate. My wife emigrated here from Dublin in 1981, about the time Paul Kelly was beginning his career. We didn't meet until 1995 but I didn't waste much time introducing her to Paul Kelly's music. He's easily the best songwriter in Australia, some have said the world. I don't know about that, but he's brilliant, that's beyond question. He's an iconic singer, as embedded in our culture now as any singer is able to be, perhaps a kind of Australian Christy Moore, if that makes sense to you (yes, my wife has introduced me to plenty of Irish music and I love lots of it). Enjoy Paul Kelly and cheers to you.

[@declanmcdermott396]

Many thanks for that very nice welcome Andy, Would love to know what part of Dublin your wife is from, It's not that big of a town :) My beautiful lady has just bought me the Merri Soul Sessions, Just when I thought it couldn't get any better !!, It's on loop in the car at all times

[@keithhodges1715]

Declan Mc Dermott being irish no doubt you apreciate this man as much as another man with pasion to his music, the legendary Rory Gallagher

[@bobpenny980]

Same thing happened to me Declan but in 1987. I used to see him in a place called The Tivoli in Sydney. No idea if it's still there. Fortunately the back catalog wasn't so large to buy all in one go back then. The man is a genius with one of the richest voices around. Last tme I saw him was in NYC about 4 years back. He played part of the A to Z tour in a bar with maybe 60 people in it. Top shelf mate.

Welcome brother, my great great grandfather come to tasmania from Kilkenny in the 1850's

[@pedroadro3043]

This masterpiece always brings a tear to my eye. Mr. Kelly is a songwriter like no other. A modern Banjo Patterson. Tells our stories in song better than anyone else. An Australian nation treasure in my opinion.

[@malcolmwood5843]

Cripes. One of the world's greatest songwriters and only a thousand odd likes?

[@kenwhittle414]

Paul Kelly should be recognized as one of the words best songwriters. Up there with Lennon & McCartney, Paul Simon, Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Springsteen, Elton, Billy Joel, Neil Young, John Fogerty, Dolly Parton, Burt Bacharach, Neil Diamond and The Eagles to name a few. PK is as good if not better than many of the afore mentioned.

[@shawnuel]

And his buddy, Neil Finn.

A song that made me cry the first time I heard it. Paul Kelly is a true wordsmith!!!

[@Martin-tl3ly]

Still makes me cry.

[@stevemurphy5840]

Sheer perfection. Tells the story of a lifetime in a few minutes . Just perfect songwriting.

[@pamelahay6242]

Yep. The whole life cycle in 6 verses. A perfect song and such great musical hooks in addition to the poetry of the words. Such vivid images and familiar to almost everyone.

[@tomfogarty4168]

Not only a superb song writer, but an outstanding live artist. I'd go so far as to say, live, he's the very best Australian rock artist. If you get the chance to see him live, don't miss it.

[@annikahansen6551]

Paul Kelly is my childhood and I am grateful for the music I feel like it's telling my life story. Paul Kelly rocks!!

[@dilly5860]

Life summed up in a song. New beginnings, new experiences, tragedies.. it all feels like you're falling in deeper water as you navigate your way through it.

[@deanrobert9953]

I dare say this is one of the finest examples of songwriting in all of music. Brilliant.

[@jakeschoer]

Paul Kelly is the only musician who gives me goosebumps. Every time I listen to him. It's crazy! Especially when turning it up very loudly driving on a highway in my car on my own.

What's Paul Kelly got to do with Melbourne? He's a South Australian and this clip was from a concert in Queensland....

[@stevemurphy5840]

If it's not perfect it's so close it doesn't matter. Thank you Mr Kelly.

[@christopherbrent8777]

Couldn't agree more with gwheels13 above. PK is simply the best song writer AUS has ever produced! His lyrics are sometimes funny, often sad, deeply haunting, always reflective and honest .... pretty much sums up the Aussie character as far as I'm concerned! Tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears from the raw humanity of his work ... a true Australian great!

[@MrMotorNerd]

I unbelievably only heard this for the first time this year and its one of my favorite songs. Its an extraordinary song, great melody, lyrics, voice. I tell people now to check him out. I have a lot of exploring to do in Paul's catalogue and I bet I will enjoy every minute of it.

[@tankhalffull]

You're going to have fun discovering an amazing catalog.., Paul Kelly is ther man!

[@jostark1903]

A true song writer, sadly the so called musicians today can't construct such music or rifts and nor do they know how to convert it to icon tunes such as this. In 20 years we will still be listening to PK, who's the Veronica's?
