Рет қаралды 2,051,384
8 жыл бұрынThe staff and customers at a County Kerry bar brought the house down in a emotional performance of The Killers’ "Mr. Brightside" to mark the passing of a friend. Brian O’Sullivan climbed the bar at Falvey’s Bar, Killorglin, on Thursday to lead the tribute to Ger Foley, who had died earlier in the week.
This video captures the incredible moment the whole bar erupts into song.

Coming from Germany, it amazes me how a bunch of middle-aged mates can sing along the lyrics of a pop song that was written for the generation of their children, while literally turning into this generation towards the end when they shed themselves of any notion of age and simply celebrate the raw beauty of life. You Irish are lucky.

This brought tears to my eyes, but tears of joy. These are fine folks to love a friend so much, and what a friend he must have been to win the love of folks like these. I'll toast tonight to Ger Foley and hope I am loved even half as much as he!

Some years ago, my wife and I were staying at the Winning Post Hotel opposite the curragh race course. A member of the wedding party who were there came over and said that as we were the only guests in the hotel that weren't with the wedding party, we were welcome to join them. I have absolutely no clue what time we went to bed!

My best friend who I toured and did shows with for 10+ years died and we never got to give him a proper send off. He would always play this record in the van. I always watch this video and imagine this is what his real funeral would have been like.

I'd never met many Irish people before my trip to the Isle of Man for the TT. You're a fucking awesome culture, full of some of the most genuine people I've ever met. Cheers from the US, and RIP to your friend.
