To think this ballard came out 42years ago and it is still as fresh today as it was then. Having effectively lost my Wife to Alzheimers this song means so much to me these days.
I looked after my mum for 8 years with Dementia then finally cancer It's so hard to watch them die a little each day My grandchildren tell me I'm an orphan now 💔 😢 😔
'Irish' is a made-up concept 😆😂. The people who live on this island came here from warmer climates to get away from the same twisted bloodline-rulers that oppress the world today. Those that came here were mixed, anyway and many more that came in mid-to-recent times - 'English', 'Scottish', 'Welsh', 'European' have mixed with the 'Irish'. Surely, you realise this based-on different skin-tones. Also, you do realise, more recently - 'Ukrainians' that have gotten citizenship are now considered Irish. The likes of you are totally lost 💙🌿.
How could anyone ever say no to this angel? ♥Such a lovely song, I remember this, I was very very young and life was just starting, what an adventure it's been, but it was so much sweeter then. Can we press rewind?
Beautiful.. also the good days of Eurovision when it was about the song.. no pathetic political votes, rediculous costumes flashing lights or other distractions..
Had a really nice voice and apparently was the only singer to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1980 and 1987. He also composed the winning song in 1992.
Creo wue es la mejor cancion de la historia de Eurovision.No sólo la melodia sino el sentimiento y la pureza que emananan de este hombre.Extrairdinario.
Blimey. That pure, perfect note at the end. 😢 I was a - trying to be cool - 15 year old in 1980, but I loved this immediately - and the last few bars made me cry. Haven’t heard it for years - can confirm it still does.
@Johnny Logan I liked this song too......I do not like this contest anymore......it was a better contest a long time ago......songs were so beautiful....
1980 рік...😊. Тоді не було помпезності, а було виконання чудової пісні чудовим виконавцем. Я перейшла за посиланням, щоб послухати того, хто два рази був переможцем. Він чудовий і заслуговує на перемогу. Здоров'я та благополуччя. ☮️
@@AlanHope2013 Love ABBA but if waterloo was in the Eurovision now it would struggle to get out of their semi-final and did you know the UK gave ABBA no points I am an Irish Man and love ABBA still play them at weddings and parties.
JL's voice has such raw emotion and purity, he doesn't sell a song he sells a feeling. He had a gig scheduled in Dublin, but I think it was just after lockdown so was probably cancelled? I was hoping to go over for it.
My dad absolutely loved this song. He died back in 1980 not long after this song was out. It so reminds me of him whenever I hear it. A truly great song and perfectly sang by Johnny Logan. Amazing voice !
I was 14 years old when i did listen to this very beautiful song and 41 years later i still listen to this song which is so good to remember that Johnny Logan was a great singer
The Irish equivalent in looks to david cassidy.. And.... Could this guy sing... A beautiful song... A powerful performance.. A well deserved win... Well done J. Lo.
I was a child when this was on tv, did not renember that this song was an esc song...saw the live esc 23 on saturday and yesterday this song came into my mind on and on..i forgot the singer...looking now at this and find it really funny to have him on my mind unconsciously maybe because of the esc..which is not my first desire to watch on tv , vut nevertheless interesting to look at the changing times and it is also okay and always some good performers in it.. johnny logan catches me after all this time with a beautiful love song and a really good voice, good vibes , good memories and always will be good :)
Faço parte da geração 80 . Assim como da história do certame eurovisivo . Desse tempo em que me sentava com os meus pais em frente à TV para assistirmos ao grande desfile de músicas belíssimas . Fazia uma lista para votação e discutiamos a qualidade das canções . Era um serão magnifico , cheio de emoções , de expetativas e um desenrolar de beleza natural , de essência e de profundidade musical . Cresci sempre na espera do próximo ano ... Agora já não espero ... Nem por este nem pelo ano que vai chegar . Acabaram - se as emoções , a beleza que era natural passou a ser artificial , num misto de exuberância e espetáculo de cor , luz e falta de elegância em palco . Enfim ...
The song was written by the late Shay Healy. His mother had died some years before and the song is about his fathers anguish from his loss. Johnny knew the story behind the song and mirrored that emotion into the song
İ ve been waiting Such a long time Looking out for you But you renot here Whats another year İ ve been waiting Such a long time Reachi ng out for you But youarenot here Whats another year İ ve been praying Such a long time İtiş the only way To hide to fear Whats another year Thanks J Logan 1980
I was a 4 year-old girl when I first heard his song on Eurovision. I did not know English at that time but I really liked itso much and I was trying to sing as "Vatsin rabi, vatsin rabi..." How eager I was...
Great song and brilliantly sung by Johnny and a live orchestra. The Eurovision-winning songwriter and former RTÉ broadcaster Shay Healy sadly passed away at the age of 78 on April 9. R.I.P Shay.
Back in the good old days when there was an orchester playing LIVE on stage. Sadly they bother anymore today, because they don't move cables and stuff around
Watching Eurovision now 2023, I don't know who will win this year, only one and a half hours into show, but I needed to hear this again. Will always be my number one, although Sam was great last year.
Jonny Logan had a concert in SriLanka Taj Samura Hotel in 1990 !!! I met him!!! Now I am in the land of the rising sun spending my evening of the life Great young man at that time!!!!
The song is so good that if you inserted the song in every year (see what I did there) of the Eurovision it would probably win. Most Eurovision singers couldn't hold a candle to Logan's vocals.
Espectáculo puro de belleza, voz, coros...¡Qué lejano resulta comparado a lo de hoy en día, todo coreografías, luces, confettis, petardos...Y la canción, lo de menos...
Now THAT’s how you do Eurovision. Quality song and quality vocals. Simple.
djme123 exactly, not Justin the turkey
Nowadays Eurovision is just a lot of shit
Innit, narwhatimeen xxxx
Simple and does not interesting. Eurovision is show! Not a vocal contest.
And live music....
Best song that Ever Won THE EUROVISION by miles and miles ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️
Totalmente de acuerdo

One of the best winners of Eurovision. Johnny Logan can really sing.
This song transcends generations. ❤💚

The good old days....I watched him win both times, Eurovision used to be the event of the year, so many stars were born on its stage.
"WHAT'S ANOTHER YEAR?" Exactly my mood after 2020 got over.
And now 2021 be like 😷
Me: I want my year back! The government bandits stole it!
How could anyone ever say no to this angel? ♥Such a lovely song, I remember this, I was very very young and life was just starting, what an adventure it's been, but it was so much sweeter then. Can we press rewind?

How can anyone not have a crush on him????
NOW this is the real Eurovision. We love the singer, song and performance. Sheer class.😁
The best song of the Eurovision history. Thanks to Mr Logan and Ireland.

Beautiful.. also the good days of Eurovision when it was about the song.. no pathetic political votes, rediculous costumes flashing lights or other distractions..
Spot on comments Debbie.
Thank you! Look at the performers thisv year. Its all targeted toward one segment of society. Its lost its glamour.
The song and his voice is breathtaking!🤩❤️
RIP Shay Healy, writer of the song. It's about his father's grief after the death of his mother.
In memory of Shay Healy, the writer/composer of this this fantastic song, whose death was announced today
So sad, my condolences and prayers to his family. This song meant a lot to me.
Best ESC song ever.

He can still do it today
Absolutely The best.
He has it and remains it.
Nobody can match him
Does he still sing live in Ireland? I would go and see him.
Agreed

Best ever winner I still listen and love this song 💚johnny 💚🇮🇪
I watched it as a kid at Eurovision and I loved the song, it is one of the best songs of Eurovision!
Sizinle aynı fikirdeyim. 52 yıllık yaşamımda, melodi ve sözleriyle insanın ruhuna hüzünle dokunan zamansız bir klasik.
We didn't even have a TV then, but even when we did, I didn't really bother watching Eurovision, but kind of wish that I had done.
