Paul Brady - The Long Goodbye

- A video shot in the back of a cab and on a tiny stage in Arlene's Grocery, a funky club on Stanton Street down in the village, with the legend that is Paul Brady. Simple idea really - sort of a call and response thing - and jolly good fun it was too.
The long goodbye...probably the most under-rated and best song ever written.
Great song from one of Ireland finest songwriters
Such an incredible artist in every respect. When Paul sings you believe every word.
Check it out see if I'm wrong, was not hearing things,
Highly UNDERRATED artist.. what a SINGER and a SONG
Paul Bradey certainly isn't under rated by anyone over 40 , most of the younger generation don't have any idea what real music is unfortunately
An American Country band covered this and got a #1 out of it. Genius song writer.
For me one of the greatest songs ever written and sang by a wonderful singer thank you Paul amazing
What a beautiful song. Gorgeous!
I got married (for the first time) in 1987 and, though I didn't know it at the time, the girl had more or less married me out of sympathy because my mother had recently died. Her heart was never really in it and she never had the nerve to tell me. We fell apart in 1990 and, looking back, I lived The Long Goodbye" for those 3 years. For a while she broke my heart (no point in denying it !) but in 1997 I married the lady that became the real love of my life and brought me 2 lovely sons. Took a while.. but I got there in the end.
So happy to hear happy endings Eugene. I still keep worrying about a son - think this is his song. But with kids involved!!!!
Nice story. Good luck to you
nice story Eugene some times things happen for a reason
Love this song.hold so many memories for me.
Hope alls good Eugene i guess you meet the proper lady a real true woman with good morals your a lucky guy
I worked in Blarney Woollen Mills in Dublin on Nassau st (it's gone now)and we had the usual diddly tourist music on a continuous loop. It was bloody torture but this tune was the saving grace. It takes me back. I love it so much.
Hear that song today in radio while working,, catch me Just like that, 👌. Nice. Greatings from Dublin. Sunshine radio. 106.8☝️👍💯💯🍀
I heard this song yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes because in the last 4yrs I lost my mom and then my day and one of my cousins then my aunt in march of this yr and recently my other cousin then 10days later I lost his little brother it's so sad but I keep my spirit high because that's what my family would want me to do so everyone R.I.P 🙏💛..💙..💙..💖..💙...💙 we all miss you love you guys forever
I watched in RTE studio in Dublin before " One Night Only " hosted by Gay Byrne, and Paul Brady was his guest for that night . He sang beautifully . And his songs are all fantastic. I can sit there and listen to him the whole night. 😊 Pity i didnt had a photo with him . But i had picture with Christy Moore in the following week and Gay Byrne 😊❤ RIP Gay Byrne.
what is it now, twelve years ago when I first heard this song? I`d been rowing a lot with my now ex wife. I was working on a building site and this came on the radio. I listened not just to the song but to the meaning as it related to me and my lou. I heard the truth in those words and knew, for the first time, we were finished but just needed the guts to admit it to ourselves. I sat slumped against a wall, smoked a fag, feeling shattered and just so sad. That night I told her I still loved her but had to leave. She didn't cry, she didn't rant and rave. she just held me and whispered, "I know, I know."
This song set us both free. Life....

Think this song would spare many, many more couples from the torture of pride, if only they heard it. Thanks for sharing.
Awh,can't beat honesty...Wish you both well.
Great story man. Thanks for sharing. Wish you the best.
Cheers for sharing this bro. Hope you are doing ok now
this song olds so many sad memories my late husband had MS and that was the long goodbye x
That is very sad. A hard goodbye
"I know they say if they don't come back again then it's meant to be
Those words ain't pulling me through
'Cause I'm still I love with you"
I do love this song
❤️
Missed Paul's concert in Boyle as the tickets sold out in 48 hours Much respected artist here in Ireland His songs so refreshing and authentic We will always hold him in our hearts
One of my favourite songs,listening in 2020 💕💕
paul brady awesome songwriter
Absolutely yess... 😥😥😢😭
Bloody awesome song
❤love this song
Absolute class
I am right now going through that and i am glad that there exist songs like this one, ❤
You can't go through it quickly. Mine's been going on for 34 years now.
always loved this track and unbeknownst to me it has laid there in my catalogue just waiting for a chance to mean something in my life . . . that time is now upon me after 8 years of turbulence and clinging on to the hope it will all work itself out . .my partner and I have decided to go our separate ways . . .mixed emotions hurt, sadness but strangely some relief i know there are darker days to come but for now this will help
Don't make it a goodbye...
Please stop me crying 💔💔🤴👸
He's our Elton John. All his songs are brill.
He is better
Elton john hasn't a patch on PB
He's better just not as commercial or advertised as much as Elton.....
Not easy to say goodbye...
Absolutely yess.. 😢😢😭
The original and by far the best version
from the same wee town as myself, strabane county tyrone, the tiny wee town has produced a lot of talented people over the years.... brian o' nolan AKA flan o' brian also from strabane
i thought he was from derry...he hung around my family in the 60's in bundoran
"No matter how hard we try,you're gonna make me cry. Just like all the tunes you have me..Guess i just get too emotional. B.G.
Such a beautiful song. At first I thought this song was meant for someone he was losing due to dementia or Alzheimer’s.
A beautful song. The man elevates it ot course
An absolute beautiful song, even though the content is the contrast of everything beautiful. It took me a over decade to hear the original version vs the Brooks & Dunn version but it was well worth it. I'm very thankful to both for have making the song available for my ears.
This is breaking my heart. My mother in law has not got much more time on this earth.
I feel you here with me every time we chat. You are gonna beat this. You are a surviivor. You are my warrior. You are in my prayers every night. & always will be.. Grasshopper
Love ❤️ this song 🎶
❤just the best words of break up x well done paul Brady 😢. 😊.
Such a beautiful song cuts deep! Hope you are well Rachel
I love this song x
beautiful song, my fave PB song! and love the black and white video :)
Great song, and a great performer!
Beautiful.
I liked the Brooks And Dunn cover well enough, but this kind of mastery that is hard to beat. Brady is such a soulful vocalist that his emotions are almost tangible.
I love this song. written by Paul and Ronan,each have made it their own. I remember not long after it came out they did a duet on television ,I’m pretty certain they were in different studios, maybe different countries.But it was absolutely fantastic,I only ever saw it once,never been able to trace it again.
listen to the words....superb
I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free (so they say)
But it sure is hard to do
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
And I know they say if they don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
But those words ain't pulling me through
'Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me going through the mill
(climbin' up a hill)
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
And I know without a doubt
I turned it inside out
And if we walked away
would make more sense (only self defense)
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
(on a wing and prayer)
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
The long goodbye
The long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
Someone please tell me why
Are you ever coming back again
Are you ever coming back again
Are you ever coming back again
Guess I'm never coming back again
The song for county mayo ♥️💚😔sher there's always next year 👍🏐🏐🥇🏆
I forgot all about this one. Funny how much Manhattan has passed through my lenses. Great edit, M.
Paul. Amazing.
Saw you performing yrs ago in the geoge hotel, Limerick only me and my
Brady l'ho conosciuto per caso; e' un'artista con una grande anima
Questa e una canzone meravigliosa
paul was one forever
This not a break up love song this was co-written by Ronan Keating its about his mother who is dying from terminal cancer..... that Long Goodbye.... the hardest goodbye of all!
Ronan Keating did not write this. Hes a parasite. Brady has 30 years writing amazing songs. Keating songs covers.
"Two lovers in love can't make it"? And Ronan wrote it for his mother? Something not right here!
beautiful ♥
So good
great song
My second favourite Paul Brady song of all time!!!
I think Soul Child is the only song that beats this!!
I would agree with anyone who disagrees with my top 2, there's just so many fantastic songs to choose from!!!
Now, I'm questioning whether I prefer Paradise is Here more....
Such a top guy and musician.
Loads love you col xx
very underated song
Excellent
Legend indeed ;)
Treasure
We all bin there!!!
I hear it while driving, i feel its shot me...so hard but it must :(
A Irish Mike mills look a like and just as talented
Legends Brooks and Dunn cover this made it a hit.
I know but this version is infinitely better
heard this on radio 2 today what a song
If it needs defining to someone, they'll never understand anyway
I tried telling someone this was their song. Maybe I'm being proven wrong. Hopefully.
youtareatube
This so true to my life, but i just can't get you out of my heart,& God knows i've tried, Master Po, Cherry picker, Comedian. Buttons.
You still with us Doreen?
A good old strabane man
you cant cover this song hes too good
I never would
PAUL BRADY IS THE ONLY MAN THAN SING THIS SONG ITS HIS SONG, I HATE WHEN TOSSERS LIKE RONAN KEATING TRY TO DO IT,
so true Maggie there’s only one man for this song x
Ronan Keating co-wrote the song with Paul, you fucking moron!
@@bfsgman doesn't sing it the same.. u effing moron
@@Maggie-tl1kk don’t Brady gets the credit for the song. I only see r keating on lyrics. Brady gets no mention as far as I know. Much prefer this but but kudos to keating but not a fan
tune
So know what hes going through in tis song at the min
John o hanlon and my song
I don't do hurdles well
Let this Dove go
This borrows heavily from Prince's Purple Rain!
flamadiddler Heard it on the radio this morning and thought the same thing. I could almost hear Prince singing over it in my head.
flamadiddler 20 yrs BEFORE Prince .....who borrowed from whom...
Liam Parke
Check your dates. The long goodbye was released in 2000. Purple Rain was released in 1984.
omg i thought this was a brooks and dunn song... i guess not.
My bad: have sent me
He knew he should of ran 42
Ronan Keating co -wrote this right?? Saw Paul twice in concert he was brilliant I'd def go again. Met him after the show and a nice guy-however a friend of mine saw him in a pub in Sligo and said hello and Paul ignored him. My friend was like 'F''k him and his Island 'lol
I doubt if Ronan Keating had much input into that song. Probably played the bongos on the demo disc.!!!
+Raymond Dixon Actually, Ronan got 1st writer's credit meaning he did most of the writing: Writer(s): Ronan Keating, Paul Joseph Gerald Mary Brady
If you believe that, then I hope Santa brings you something nice. In Ireland Paul Brady is one of our best songwriters, whereas Ronan was picked out of a line to form a manufactured boyband.
I thought he just covered it
Not one of the songs he is credited for as a writer has his name alone and of the dozen or so that he gets a credit for, all are co-writes involving actual songwriters and when a song is listed as being written by 7 people (two outside writers and Boyzone) you should always be suspicious.
Elvis Presley has several writer credits and yet never wrote a song in his life.
21 people still on rooftops. Sorry but had to say it.
Purple Rain.
Prince isn't half the musical artist Paul Brady.
Please don't bring down the tone.
If they come back it's meant to be 💝💝 we can make it better than u think and believe me even if it's the registry office I want u to be my wife. We can make it. I adore u so much edel more than my own life 💝💝 I can feel you right now 💝💝 now is the time to bring our love and go back to the both of us texting and laughing on this 💝💝 I adore u I truly do 💝💝 all of you 💝💝
Beck9476. Seriously. You can compare somebody's else's rendition. 'Though I'm gonna check out this guy Ronnie see what he' like. Sure if we love good music, what the heck who sings it?
His is more sultry. Awesome version. Some times the originals are better.
Love the song, but this video is only half done. It doesn't tell a story, doesn't go anywhere, just a guy (I know it's Paul but could be anyone) despairing in the back of a cab, but what from, is there a lover somewhere else suffering too. What's there is well shot, love the scenary & pics of the city, but maybe have less of the pics singing at the mic and add in another dimension like a lover or relative or someone with poor health or something. Tell a story rather than have a guy going along in the back of a cab.
Just the cab fine by me...
The Irish chris cross
he butchered the song, lol
The originals are always the best. Brooks and dunn even copied the arrangement.
+Cornelius Maximillianus This is the original, duh
I know its the original. Thats my point its better than brooks and dunn duh!!!
Corny, it was a hit in Ireland sometime in the 80s.
sorry late 90s
