As an Irish man living in Taiwan, I can't thank you enough for doing this. We lost Christy. He was Finglas, he was Dublin, he was ours. We don't have many people like that now.

Very tru man,I'm from cabra right next to finglas...any Northsider wit a soul feels his loss deeply,one of our own...

As an Irish man, Christy represented so much for us. He was a man of the people and someone everyone on our island truly respected. Life gave him a hard dig but he was resilient and released music that will be played and celebrated for generations. Rest in Peace Christy and thank you for showing appreciation on this channel and in these comments.

Underated lyricist. These are the hands of a tired man This is the old man's shroud These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger Staring at the maddening crowd This is the face of a teenage mother This is the child she bears This is the soul of her broken lover Searching for the smiles they shared These are the feet of the punished pilgrim And in his book of punished love You see his eyes, you see no surprise Waiting for a lie that's true Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning (Wasting your life away) These are the dreams of a sleeping father And in his long lost days He sees a child He sees his eyes Waiting for the price he's paid These are the tears of a fallen idol And in his smile of shattered love You see his eyes You see no surprise You just see lights then realise Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning (Wasting your life away) Oh here with you There's no one here like you And no one moves like you Nobody touches like you Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning Everybody hits you with this feeling Nobody seems to understand Yeah you stop, you look You're searching for the meaning Everybody hits you And everybody knocks you down You stop you look you're searching, you stop you look you're searching Everybody hits you And everybody knocks you down Everybody hits you And everybody knocks you down

They were a very working class Dublin band. Tipped to go global around the same time as U2. Incidentally formed in north Dublin U2 were private school middle class kids. But addiction halted Aslans course. They are huge in Ireland. The lead singer Christy Dignam passed a few weeks ago. The script another Working class Dublin band credit Aslan as one of their influences. Crazy world is another anthem song to us Dubs

Not one for this kind of react video, but this popped up on reccomendeds and well I'm a simple Gael: I see Aslan/Chirsty I give it a click...... We lost yer man just recently, long battle with cancer. I think theres at least 2 generations of us Irish for whom these guys soundtracked a good portion of our lives. He was a Finglas man, a Dublin man, but he was no jackeen, loved by jackeens (city/dublin people) and culchies (countryside/not dublin people). Vastly underrated, especially internationally! It's a bit cliche but you should definitely check out Aslans song Crazy World its a great tune!

The fact that Aslan never charted significantly outside of Ireland is a travesty. This performance comes from their Made in Dublin Album and DVD. They held a series of gigs at Vicar Street at the time recording them for this and I was lucky enough to be at one. RIP Christy.
