  • This is a cover of the Wolfe Tones song and one that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I think it's appropriate for this time of the year...well, I could really say that about anything on my channel lol but it's one of my favorites. If it's a song you haven't heard before, just listen to the words and it will hit home. This one is for the hunger strikers, those who came before them, and those who continue the struggle.

    "And you dare to call me a terrorist
    While you look down your gun
    When I think of all the deeds that you have done,
    You have plundered many nations
    Divided many lands
    You have terrorized our people
    You ruled with an iron hand.
    And you brought this reign of terror to my land."
    Love this verse.

  • @Destruction320
    @Destruction320 Před 6 lety +66

    I'm not an Irishman, but I will never forget reading the diary of Bobby Sands, the diary of a dying man, a man dying of his own accord for the future of his country, for the future of the true spirit of Man. Some people may demonize him, but there'll always be those of us who understand, and not a single lie can deviate us from our conviction, no, not a whole variety of lies is capable of achieving such an end. We just know.
    Beautiful cover, girl, it's great to see other young people still thinking of the past, as our hedonistic society has reached so high an altar that the possibility of finding you here would almost seem impossible. Reminds me of the women on hunger strike that Bobby would write encouraging letters to from his cell. We must not forget, not the men, not the women, and we must make sure that their pain was not in vain.
