Read a bunch on Michael Collins, when I first heard this, long before SOA. It felt very much like the history I've read of the Civil War here in the US....surrender was the only way to make peace, and the High Road ended in a bridge. This song captures history, as written by the unwilling among the peacemakers.
I couldn't agree more.... As a fervent SOA fan - I love the music - and the show - but it all leads me to learn about other things. While it's great to memorialize this moment in the show's evolution - it's also a blessing to hear a song that captures such a serious and difficult history... Right on for what you said out there.
Here are the gaelic lyrics with their english translations: Mo chara is mo lao thu! (My friend and my calf) Is aisling trí néallaibh (A vision in dream) Do deineadh aréir dom (Was revealed to me last night) IgCorcaigh go déanach (In Cork, a late hour) Ar leaba im aonar (In my solitary bed) Tabhair dom do lámh (Give me your hand)
Mo chara is mo lao thu! (My friend and my calf) Is aisling tri nallaibh (A vision in dream) Do deineadh arir dom (Was revealed to me last night) IgCorcaigh go danach (In Cork, a late hour) Ar leaba im aonar (In my solitary bed) I remember you back in the GPO with Connolly and Clarke Laughin' with McDermott through the bullets and the sparks Always with the smart remark, your eyes blazin' and blue But when we needed confidence we always turned to you And when they shot our leaders up against Kilmainham wall You were there beside us in that awful Easter dawn Hey, big fellah..........where the hell are you now When we need you the most Hey, big fellah..........c'mon Tabhair dom do lamh (Give me your hand) Back on the streets of Dublin when we fought the black and tans You were there beside us, a towerin' mighty man And God help the informer or the hated English spy By Jaysus, Mick, you'd crucify them without the blinkin' of an eye Still you had a heart as soft as the early mornin' dew Every widow, whore and orphan could always turn to you We beat them in the cities and we whipped them in the streets And the world hailed Michael Collins, our commander and our chief And they sent you off to London to negotiate a deal And to gain us a republic, united, boys, and real But the women and the drink, Mick, they must have got to you 'Cause you came back with a country divided up in two We had to turn against you, Mick, there was nothin' we could do 'Cause we couldn't betray the republic like Arthur Griffith and you We fought against each other, two brothers steeped in blood But I never doubted that your heart was broken in the flood And though we had to shoot you down in golden Bal na Blath I always knew that Ireland lost her greatest son of all
It's better to think of the song as a decent history lesson... Read up on Michael Collins... A good movie to watch is The Wind That Shakes The Barley. You'll understand why the Irish hate the English, and I couldn't agree more. Helps that I'm Irish. Family immigrated here from Dublin in the 1890s. :)
From America hearing the calling of my Irish brothers and sisters all of us need to return to our original land and. Stand the hell up I wanna die knowing Ireland 🇮🇪 is finally it's own again
@@xXN0SK1LLZXx I happen to be on the phone with two great friends from Kent and Liverpool. It's nothing personal I'm sure if my Americans took a small piece of your land and it became known as the united states property you then would become bitter to some degree or (in this case not bitter just would like to see something as a whole again) i agree God save the Queen but also would be very happy to see all of Ireland reunited totally and completely ran by its own people
Griffith and Collins were pretty much forced into signing the agreement when threatened by a continuation of the anglo irish-war. This was probably a bluff by the british as it was just after ww1 and the british government probably couldn't afford to carry on fighting because of the current public opinion (because of factors like the actions of the black and tans). Either way The Irish leaders who were negotiating where told they had until midnight that day to sign the agreement or face war.
The Nationalist parts of Ulster didn't need to be taken, when the Irish free state was established the 3 majority Catholic counties in Ulster became part of the free state
The hell with Sons of Anarchy. Great song by a blisteringly great band. Have been privileged to see them live and even a few times during the legendary Paddy Reilly's stand back in the 90s."The air was filled with flying stout and soaring cigarettes". I detect some black Irish humor in the song. Larry's talking about a guy who's been dead a hundred years and yet demanding "where the hell are ya now?". Shiftless bastard, dig yourself out of your moldy grave like Keiren of "In the Flesh" slake yourself with a gargle of Guinness and get back to work. Being dead is no f-ing excuse. Collins had burning eyes that would bore into and terrify people. He was no starry eyed revolutionary. He was calculating, sinister, bloody, vicious and relentless in his mission.
No-one was winning, Collins said himself that the IRA couldn't afford to carry on fighting for more than a few weeks, at the very most. It was not a war anyone would want to be fighting. On the irish side innocent civilians were harassed and even killed by the Black and Tans. On the British side it was believed they would need 100,000 soldiers to completely end the IRA, after WW1, this wasn't really an option. However, the IRA would never have won if the war carried on.
pritty sure irish families in the united kingdom living in england wales or scotland that have kids would be classed as more irish then bloody 4th generation irish in america lol, my mother is northern irish and my farther is republican irish so im pritty sure I can say im more irish then an american with great great grandads cousin who's irish. does make me giggle
but when you live in a country where the vast majority of the population descend from immigrants, people really hold on to their roots, so irish are always irish, poles are always poles, italians are always italians, koreans are always koreans and persians are always persians. Many people like to hold on to that stuff, it reminds them of who they are, and at times it helps a lot.
Sierra0253 Honestly I find that enormously stupid. It IS their heritage, it's where their family comes from. As a Spaniard, not only am I okay with spanish-americans holding high their heritage but actually it makes me proud; proud to see that my country means so much to them. And yet you babble about some pseudo-nazi purity thing.
Sierra0253 It may be a nationality issue for you, but for them it's an ethnic issue. Just because they didn't grow up there doesn't mean they didn't have contact with it, and sure many of them have no idea about what Ireland is really like but you can't just generalize. Plus, for centuries, feeling American wasn't a thing, so they all felt like they were from were ever their families were from, lived in comunities, trying to hold on to their culture and building around them a little piece of home. Being a Spaniard and you not being one, you have no idea what my experience is. There may not be as many Spanish-americans as Irish-americans, but they do exist, only they are usually mistaken for mexicans or just not noticed at all. Also, I include not just people in the US within the word "americans" but ALL americans, meaning there are A LOT of people south of Rio Grande that DO babble about Spanish heritage having not been to Spain in their lives. The difference between you and me is that you policy towards other is of exclusion and elitism, my atittude is that of inclusion and togetherness. Your way of thinking is exactly what brought war unto Europe for a good deal of the last century and more.
My heritage is just enough Irish to get chills when I think about the parallels between Ireland and America. The British had more of a stake in the Emerald Isle, and its citizens, than in the USA - we did away with the monarchy here, and there were no gentry. Ireland still reveres her Kings.
But the Irish were winning the war - why was it such an unappealing suggestion to continue fighting until they could take Irish nationalist areas of Ulster?
Large amounts of Irish lineage in the USA and since the club was a white biker club, it's a logical leap that retains the edge and outlaw element of the show. Also the IRA are typical underdogs which goes well with SoA as they weren't meant to be a huge charter on the scale of Hells Angels etc
+marcos monzon Sure, but only in the storyline. If it comes to physically being in Ireland - unfortunately they didn't go there to record the episodes.
+Paddy Cox I live there to they had other people go there have you ever been inside that's not st George's market inside and that's not the Europa inside ether they filmed jax going into somewere else
So wrong. Parts of Ireland hate England not all. And sorry your not Irish your American and again not a personal view of mine but i'm sure there is a lot more hate for the good ol US of A then for us English. For what its worth i do not agree with either side i think wrong acts have been committed by all sides and no one is innocent.
What an opening to an episode, one of my favourite tracks from the series actually.
Phil Elliott OMG mine too!!
Totally agree
one of the best songs in the OST !! that chorus.. just insane
Being born in Belfast makes me love this even more ☘️💚😬😎

Jesus man, this one gives me the goosebumps...
For a lot of reasons.. I appreciate the discussion on the history below this song as well..
As an Irish person, Michael Collins is a major hero for us and a liberator from the Brits, Tiocfaidh ár la!!
this song plays in my head when I ride the Soft tail in the countryside
Good song, good show..... works for me
BOY IS THIS ONE A LONG TIME A COMING....DONT EVEN ASKE....Frank j. stola

I remember you back in the GPO with Connolly and Clarke
Laughin' with McDermott through the bullets and the
sparks
Always with the smart remark, your eyes blazin' and
blue
But when we needed confidence we always turned to you
And when they shot our leaders up against Kilmainham
wall
You were there beside us in that awful Easter dawn
Hey, big fellah..........where the hell are you now
When we need you the most
Hey, big fellah..........c'mon
Tabhair dom do lamh
(Give me your hand)
Back on the streets of Dublin when we fought the black
and tans
You were there beside us, a towerin' mighty man
And God help the informer or the hated English spy
By Jaysus, Mick, you'd crucify them without the
blinkin' of an eye
Still you had a heart as soft as the early mornin' dew
Every widow, whore and orphan could always turn to you
We beat them in the cities and we whipped them in the
streets
And the world hailed Michael Collins, our commander and
our chief
And they sent you off to London to negotiate a deal
And to gain us a republic, united, boys, and real
But the women and the drink, Mick, they must have got
to you
'Cause you came back with a country divided up in two
We had to turn against you, Mick, there was nothin' we
could do
'Cause we couldn't betray the republic like Arthur
Griffith and you
We fought against each other, two brothers steeped in
blood
But I never doubted that your heart was broken in the
flood
And though we had to shoot you down in golden Bal na
Blath
I always knew that Ireland lost her greatest son of all
One of my favourites, thanks :)

Where in the world do you get this version of this song? iTunes and Amazon have something totally different
I think sons of anarchy remade it
Was that song from the irish time?
Bonny 87 yes it was in the first episode of being in Ireland
The Nationalist parts of Ulster didn't need to be taken, when the Irish free state was established the 3 majority Catholic counties in Ulster became part of the free state

If it's still relevant, it still has a purpose.............perhaps you don't understand the purpose.........just sayin'.
where can I get this? fuck EMI
But the Irish were winning the war - why was it such an unappealing suggestion to continue fighting until they could take Irish nationalist areas of Ulster?
So why the Soa showed much sympathies to Irish like this? because of anti U.K?

Also the IRA are typical underdogs which goes well with SoA as they weren't meant to be a huge charter on the scale of Hells Angels etc
