The Pogues - The Broad Majestic Shannon

[@davidoftheglen3447]

Can't believe he's gone . 💔 I've loved Shane since I was a kid . God Bless you my friend 🙏 😊❤

[@dondamon4669]

He died years ago! We got three albums out of him and got to see his genius after that he was an addict and the drink especially ruined him like it does to any chronic alcoholic

[@andersbergmark9246]

There's no pain, there's no more sorrow. What a songwriter. What a loss.

[@JosephAlanMeador]

There's no pain, there's no more sorrow. They're all gone, gone with the years. ~ RIP Shane

[@philruane5910]

I was 20 in 1985, from a merseyside irish family, met loads of folk like me from england, scotland, ireland etc.,all living away from home in London,, we found the pogues. Wow

[@markkelly9484]

You've also maintaned your Irish surname. 😊 Comes from Rua (red) as Gaeilge. Love Merseyside and the northwest generally. Home of so much great music, many of which are also from Irish backgrounds.

Shane goes back into the soil and soul of Irish music, of folk music, of every music, gpes back in and nourishes the future

[@KCIARAN]

no changes there .....

[@annecaro.3956]

I believe his ashes were offered to the Shannon King of rivers

[@ebone9]

I get the chills "So I walked as day was dawning Where small birds sang and leaves were falling Where we once watched the row boats landing By the broad majestic Shannon "

[@richard9480]

Joyce would love his lyrics.

[@aoifemoran7672]

Oh so may of us do....an absolute genius. The Pogues will live on long after we are all gone...and so will Shane McGowan's legacy...just like the Broad Majestic Shannon.

I Am 20 Years Old.. Discovering This Song Saved My Life.. Cheers 🍻

[@MrGanaface]

Hope you're still enjoying it my brother xx

[@derekfisher939]

You be sadly missed old stock 😢💚🍀from Wexford Ireland.peot songwriter singer frontman,A, genius PUNK 😎R.I.P Shane 🍀

[@karmapeach]

People don,t understand or appreciate how talented Shane is. A great writer and a very misunderstood Genius.

[@zoebidule3397]

NEVER MIND : he is what HE IS. Never mind the idiots who are UNAWARE of his genuine and BIG "Art". Shane and his groupe are enormous artists. That is all. THe ones who have no brain to see it have NO right to listen to them !

[@philruane5910]

The mans a poet

[@derekfisher939]

Don't hear song like his been wrote anymore..he put his mark on his songwriting.And his lyrics nothing but a genius 🍀💚

[@jamesv9221]

Absolute Genius. I remember hearing him back in 1985. I was 18 and I fell in love with his music. He was more than a song write, a poet. How many people who listened to the Pogues became interested in traditional Irish music. A true ambassador to Irish music and culture. Listening to music got me interested in reading Yeats, Joyce and T.S. Elliot. Brilliant and will be miss.

[@davidmclintock7164]

Sounds so simple. But no-one else can do it. Buddy Holly, Bob Marley, Shane McGowan - kings of the simple song that no-one else can do and that wraps me up in tears, love, joy, amazement, and beautiful disbelief.

[@ckdpraha]

Perfect song fit for people who long for their childhood memories, the place in their heart where they remain kids forever!

[@tonyves]

Or: just a good song, despite your strange analysis.

[@kamull61]

This song makes me cry, Bono could never to that with a song. The Pogues songs have real guts and emotion. So 1,2,3,14 that Bono.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

I bet Bono started wearing sunglasses because he saw Shane doing it first.

[@SearchfortheMeaning]

The man with the GOLDEN VOICE.🙏🏼🎖️🏅🏆🥇🪙☘️💚🇮🇪🌈

What a voice ! What words! making the universal out of the everyday, That’s Art, isn’t it? It's not given to everyone to know how to do that, and it affects us all thanks Shane

[@ScottInVa1760]

I wish I'd been a fan of Irish songs back in the '80s and '90s. These guys are GREAT!!!

[@hubertgrealish]

[@1tommyoneill]

The last time I saw you was down at the greeks There was whiskey on sunday and tears on our cheeks You sang me a song as pure as the breeze Blowing up the road to glenaveigh I sat for a while at the cross at finnoe Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom Heard the men coming home from the fair at shinrone Their hearts in tipperary wherever they go

[@alcraig2744]

Rip Shane, one of my fav songs

[@annecaro.3956]

Mine is thousands ships are sailing...even if that one is majestic too

[@mickeyreal]

[@philruane5910]

Im glad it was Spider, Phil, the fellas called The Pogues that put Shanes lyrics/poetry to music.

[@SpikyMagpie]

One of my favourite songs, brilliant!

[@joannaleary4747]

What a VOICE!! And the way he hangs onto the mic stand like it's keeping him alive long enough to sing the song.... Shane you had the voice of a (slightly demented/addled) angel... You better be singing when i get to heaven..."there's no more pain/no more sorrow"

[@lmcurtis7022]

If I were forced at gunpoint to choose my very favourite Pogues song - because I hate to choose - I think this would be the one. 💚

[@philruane5910]

Tis a tough choice mate

[@philruane5575]

[@zoebidule3397]

She did well. i knew a girl who simply threw the beer at some man's face. EVEN BETTER ! ha, ha !

[@amiridiculous]

Dunno.. but apart from the great music Shane did, a whole own class imo, his looks make him appearing kinda sympathetic. He appears to me like a pleasent person to have around. Makes it even more enjoyable to listen to those songs.
