The Pogues - Haunted [Demo version]

[@elizabethhann4028]

Some days I think this is one of the greatest love songs of the whole 1980's. It's sweet, it's heartfelt, and it sounds like a cross between Van Morrison and Them's "Here Comes The Night" and the Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack." Whenever I listen to this, I feel all swoony and wish that I had somebody to sing it to.

Sweet

[@volvoheadgasket]

[@erinjay8431]

Yes me too!

[@deannilvalli6579]

You should write for the music press.

[@chrisware6324]

You are 100% correct!!! Brilliant!

[@deannilvalli6579]

Finally I found the version with Cait singing!!!!!!

[@Dreyno]

She sang the version on the “Sid and Nancy” soundtrack. Best version IMO.

[@moose3740]

Raw and stripped back the best pogues song ever

[@seanblasphemy]

Love this song. And now I know I need to find this box set.

[@anthonydelossantos9270]

Love this version. I like how it starts out as spoken word. Her voice is beautiful anyway...

[@anette0118]

Sid & Nancy

[@pegalegameg]

love this version the best

[@elizabethhann4028]

Me too! Although the official version's pretty great, too. But I love primitive crude rock'n'roll.

[@woodystefeneylee7290]

The singer is Cait O'Riordan (usually bass player and one time wife of Elvis Costello)

[@johnvetter87]

Cait, owns it.

[@tmrezzek5728]

[@dennisrockbottomskelly7948]

EVERY version of this song STILL brings tears to my eyes......THIS demo version with Cait doing the vocals makes my eyes flow rivers- I actually have to wear a life preserver every time I listen to it.... RB/nowretiredfromTheScene&wet :)

[@mprevis]

This is by far one the greatest song ever written. Ill take it solo or worked as a duet I really dont care the emotions/and feelings are there. Im still sat here waiting on someone so what better company can I keep while I am

[@trainboy62]

Yup

[@GeorgiaH090]

❤️❤️❤️this 💯🥰

[@Miztorif]

[@ROUBA33]

Yeah, she has a treamendus voice. The original is with her on the vocals

[@zaxxx1975]

Blessed her voice is hauntin now

The singer is Cait O'Riordan (usually bass player and one time wife of Elvis Costello)

[@Shadow1776]

Fuck. I wish these guys would reform for one last tour.

[@paulcachia3480]

Nice

[@billycarter8237]

Yessss!!!

[@frankyjaefelix6514]

Love this shit since I was a young buck this is what I grew up too now I'm a monster:/..

[@deborahstimac5594]

❤️

[@philmalley7888]

Where's the single version which packs more of a punch , this is beautiful but its feather weight compared to other one. Cait's singing is gorgeous so sweet compared to the rowdy pogues singing.

[@wendygracetoll9039]

💔💔💔

[@michaellord5306]

Shane and Cait the perfect combination

[@AnthonySC213]

Caits better version

[@Shadow1776]

Great song from a crap movie.

[@alexburanov5461]

I don't like this song. Primitive

[@zaxxx1975]

Alex Buranov very good description. But i got a soft spot for it. The movie n a girl...

[@SantaBaby401]

precisely!
