This song is heartbreaking! Just seeing how much Dublin has changed since the 1980s is upsetting. Can't go to the city anymore without asking, "What happened to the town I was born in?" It seems to have lost its heart, soul and character! So sad!

I arrived at the Dubliners in the last six months, never really knowing who or what they were about. Sadly a lot of them have passed but this band and their brilliant music lives on for generations to love as I do. Irish folk and Irish music is the best you can hear. Dubliners live on and thanks for such fine work.

It goes beyond heartbreaking and shakes the tears out of my face. I feel my great grandma and pa in this and the quiet lament of anyone who has seen the changing of the guard. Whats more humbling for me is, rare songs such as these are nostalgic for hard times, when the working class had been scraped off the lands into the industrial centres, first into the terraces then into brutalist high rises. Now people have no clue to their ancestors or their story, they just exist in this modern fake bubble. We must get back to sanity and remember who we are.

I'm sitting with my tears imagining the old days.. Melancholy and longing I'll shut up now and get back to my beer...

My grandfather who I'm named after used to sing this to me when I was a child he was born in Dublin in 1915
