Piano/Vocals: The Foggy Dew

[@connorsganga8843]

The Irish fight for freedom is quite tragic... And now it seems Irish nationalism has been perverted by the capitalists and bankers, opportunists and traitors. Another great Irish song I would suggest listening to is The Patriot Game, Liam Clancy & Luke Kelly both do the song justice.

[@Airgialla32]

This song always brings a tear to my eye as an Irishman, this is one of the most emotional covers I’ve ever heard. The wounds left by the torturous and cruel blade my ancestors endured under the damned Saxon Dagger is a scar upon our people that still bares a tender sting; whether it had been the religious persecution we faced, the genocide we beat, the laws we defied, the starvation we endured, the systematic discrimination we had to take for 800 years or the teasing dawn of freedom we so longed for and still do. Yet despite all we faced, we Irish still stand here upon the stage of sovereign nations proudly letting people know that we are still here, and we are still fighting. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

Oh jack, you wouldn't know how much solace your covers give me in these uncertain and troublesome times

How about making worker's Marseillaise next?

[@真.ヤマダー]

As down the glen one Easter morn To a city fair rode I. There armoured lines of marching men In squadrons passed me by. No pipe did hum, no battle drum Did sound its loud tattoo But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffy's swell Rang out in the foggy dew. Right proudly high over Dublin town They hung out that flag of war. 'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar. And from the plains of Royal Meath Strong men came hurrying through; While Brittania's sons with their long it was England bade our wild geese go That small nations might be free. Their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves On the fringe of the grey North Sea. But had they died by Pearse's side Or fought with Cathal Bruagh, Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep 'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew. but the bravest fell, and the requiem bell Rang mournfully and clear For those who died that Eastertide In the springing of the year. And the world did gaze in deep amaze At those fearless men and true Who bore the fight that freedom's light Might shine through the foggy dew. then back through that glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore for I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more and back to and fro in dreams I'll go and I'll kneel and pray for you oh slavery fled oh glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew

[@angelg927]

Creo que la mayoría de personas vinimos por la canción a las barricadas me lo confirman?

[@rmcewan10]

Creo que este una de las canciones más queridas de la izquierda internacional, porqué representa una de las épocas más heroicas de nuestra historia (la guerra civil). Sin embargo, somos un movimiento internacional, y por eso tenemos canciones y temas de muchas lenguas y representando varias luchas, incluso los movimientos contra el imperialismo, y a este clase pertenecen el Easter Rising y la guerra de independencia irlandesa. Y lo siento, no soy hispanohablante y estoy cierto que hice muchos fracases en este párrafo

I have a slight inclination that I’m in enemy territory here. But here I go anyway. I absolutely think Ireland should be free and I think the boys of the IRA are nothing short of heroes but I do have one main problem with the community. For the last couple of decades the republican movement has been hijacked by communists, I fucking hate communism and most of the early republicans were staunchly anti communist. So can anyone answer, what the fuck happened? As all evidence point to despite its many flaws capitalism makes for vastly happier lives than communism. What I think the IRA should focus on is what they are good at, when it comes down to it they are soldiers, their profession is war. They should leave the economic side to the people who know what they are talking about. I’m sure Ireland has multiple good economists that know what they are talking about. Free Ireland first, sort out the capitalist vs communist debate later. We already know the answer to that though, capitalism for the win.

"If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain. England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs. England would still rule you to your ruin, even while your lips offered hypocritical homage at the shrine of that Freedom whose cause you had betrayed. Nationalism without Socialism - without a reorganisation of society on the basis of a broader and more developed form of that common property which underlay the social structure of Ancient Erin - is only national recreancy."

I recommend you read Triumph of Evil by Austin Murphy. It dispels many of the western myths about communism created specifically to make you think there's no alternative. Ireland was colonized by capitalists for capitalist aims, and the communists were THE ONLY people in the UK that have ever opposed the occupation.

Have you looked at the other songs on this channel lmao?
