Rest in peace, Shane...I can honestly say that your music and your poetry changed my whole life for the better.

I live in a small town in Italy and Shane and the Pogues, believe me, meant a lot to me when I was in my twenties, even if I didn't perfectly understand the words. Rest in peace.

"This land was always ours, was the proud land of our fathers. It belongs to us and them and not to any of the others." Such a proper and most righteous statement for anyone indigenous to land occupied by others.

Just want to drop in and say: The year is 2023 and Shane Macgowan is still alive. I appreciate everything he and the boys have done. Love from Florida. Edit: RIP to ya Shane. Forever a legend. And everyone saying "didn't age well haha" is that what ya do, go around laughing at people who've died? Fuck off

RIP Shane MacGowen, you were an amazing songwriter and frontman. I am grateful for having had the privilege of seeing The Pogues live in the early '90's. There you were in all your glory, with your bottle of whisky in hand, getting harder and harder to understand as the night wore on, and i loved every second of it. Fly high, sir, away from the pain and troubles of this world, to the next.

I don’t always listen to The Pogues ...but when I do, so do my feckin neighbours!!

My dad passed away on 9 December. This song is going to be played at his funeral. He loved The Pogues.

Pogues deserve the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and this is possibly the best song ever written .

Shane was a musical genius. The concept of mixing punk with traditional Irish music was brilliant. He more than a musician he was a poet.

Shane MacGowan. The tradition of wild Irish music might have been lost without him. Thank you for carrying that sacred flame. The bards and balladeers of old Ireland will be there to greet you and they’ll say “well done.”

Don’t cry, he’s drinking the best of them under the table up in heaven now. The world may have lost one of the best musicians of all time, but heaven gained a new angel.

How about the Pogues into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Who else loves these boys in 2019!???💐 ❤️ 💕

That 2nd verse is the most beautiful thing ever written! This land was always ours It was the proud land of our fathers It belongs to us and them Not to any of the others RIP Shane, I love you!

"Let me go, boys, let me go, boys Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry" - Good bye, Legend 🙏

RIP Shane. A legend who has left us with a wonderful musical legacy. May angels speed you to your rest xx

He made it longer than I thought he would, but not nearly as long as I wished he did… Farewell Shane, you will be sorely missed.

R.I.P Shane . Not ashamed to say i have shed many tears today. One of greatest song writers ever and the whole band were just so damn good. Thank you for all you gave us

The best Irish music ever made, ladies and gentlemen, The Pogues!

Proud to be Irish. In fond remembrance

Let me go down in mud where the rivers all run dry. Farewell Shane, thanks for everything 💚 x

went to see the Pogues years ago and though Shane initially looked like he wasnt even going to be able to make it onto the stage he came on and the performance of the band was perhaps the finest concert i have ever been to- what an amazing group of musicians

Perhaps his true brilliance will only be recognised in death. RIP Shane, you music was a beacon for so many lost souls, thank you ❤️

Shane, you're loved, respected and admired by so many. Your legacy will live forever.

There's no band like them, plenty have tried to replicate their sound, all have failed. Possibly one of the greatest live bands of all time. Impossibly catchy music that makes people who can't dance want to get up and dance until they drop. Along with Roy Keane and Guiness they are Irelands greatest export. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you, The Pogues

I'm a younger fan, These guys are amazing, Nothing hits like Celtic punk

I must confess that I cried. RIP great Shane. Love from Lombardy, Italy

RIP SHANER. Not many people can abuse their body as much as you did and live to 65. :D

Here's to the people who listen to Irish music all year -- Happy St. Paddy's Day!

I should fall from grace with God Where no doctor can relieve me If I'm buried 'neath the sod But the angels won't receive me Let me go, boys Let me go, boys Let me go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry This land was always ours Was the proud land of our fathers It belongs to us and them Not to any of the others Let them go, boys Let them go, boys Let them go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry Bury me at sea Where no murdered ghost can haunt me If I rock upon the waves No corpse shall lie upon me Coming up threes, boys Coming up threes, boys Let them go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry If I should fall from grace with God Where no doctor can relieve me If I'm buried 'neath the sod So the angels won't receive me Let me go, boys Let me go, boys Let me go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry

Shane was no shame, everlasting song for the immortals. Thank you.

I had never heard of Shane until his funeral was posted on KZfaq. I find myself captivated by him.

The Pogues, the only Irish punk band with a rhythm that makes you wanna mosh and pogo all day long

One of the greatest nights of my life(musically) seeing these guys at St Andrew’s Hall in Detroit in 1994ish….Gave whole new meaning to the term “Hooley”. Positively Dionysian….🙏🎼☘️🎭🍺

Every time I listen to this I can hear the pain, the whisky and the voices of my ancestors singing along. #RIPShane this is what truth sounds like. Prayers from Jamaica 🇯🇲 & May you be in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.

I love Irish-folk music!!! Greetings by an Albanian 🇮🇪 🇦🇱. 🙏

A song about death sung by an alcoholic is one of the most positive songs ever made xx

A pure poet for the working class man thanks for the music and poetry and memories and rest in peace legend 🇮🇪☘️💚

mum has been gone a year today .Its so hard to walk this earth without her .A song for her

Spider and Shane, both in their prime! Music doesn't get much better than this; one of the best bands of all time!

Shane fait partie de mon âme depuis la première fois que l'ai entendu en 2008 à Dublin!! Il a un air de "Gainsbourg" Irlandais que j'adore. Un grand poète s'en est allé... une légende! RIP as you deserve Shane, so great singer you were, thank you for having been ever yourself!!!

R.I.P. TO A MASTER I bow down pour a sip into the ground what a sound you made mate we shall never again see another great poet Brother Shane Sláinte 🍻 May the Angels receive you

This was the first Poques song I ever heard and it has always stuck with me.

The sheer energy emanating from this performance is surreal. I'm sad that I never saw them live, but my how thankful am I to see these videos today. Ladies and gentleman, The Pogues!

Tears are falling today. Bless and thank you dear Mr. Macgowan. ❤️❤️❤️

RIP Shane MacGowan...I'm afraid God and the angels will find you wherever your soul may be. May the unquenchable thirst be found.

As an American with a lot of Irish in me pogues make me proud to have so much irish heritage

He earned his unique place in the pantheon of great Irish writers.

One of our biggest Poets that ever lived died. RIP Shane, your an Inspiration for everyone. Hope you rest well

A hint of bluegrass in this fantastic Irish tune, Shane the Shaman on the mike, the other lads playing their hearts out, and the crowd bouncing around the floor as one......the only thing I can say is....WHY WASN'T I THERE!!!! Love from the Finger Lakes, NY State.

One the best songs ever written , Joe Strummer loved it , Rest in peace Shane and Joe .☘️☘️☘️

Godspeed Shane. Thank you for the amazing music you leave behind for all of eternity to enjoy.

R.l.P. Shane, you were true legend and poet I was raised with your songs from childhood until now when I'm 40 😢

Drank whiskey and forgot my worries for awhile

My condolences. I hope you knew how much your music means to your adoring fans.

Seriously, no matter how sad you are this song will always cheer you up!

The Pogues are criminally underrated.A TRULY GREAT SONGWRITER and from the heart

I my hard driving party days I had to eventually lock this album away. If I put this on when I came in from the bar half toasted it always meant playing it on repeat until the sun came up. My liver eventually told me to cut it out! RIP Shane. A piece of divine light made human 🙏🌹

How many good nights out did we all have with the Pogues playing in the background, RIP Shane.

Lived my whole life in Alabama, saw The Pogues on this tour in Birmingham. Shane was one of the two drunkest performers I ever saw, I guess tied with the first time I saw Paul Westerberg with The Replacements, and yet they both completely delivered great performances. I'm surprised he made it this long. Anyway, an amazing songwriter. Hit every emotional note. This remains one of my all-time favorite albums. I think The Broad Majestic Shannon is my absolute favorite. I would be fine if they played that when I was dying myself, but I doubt anyone will think to do it.

By far one of the best songs ever written. God bless you Shane.

A night of guinness, jameson, some of that great "irish kush", and the pogues, perfect night!

Here's to. you, Shane. May you belt out those rare ol' mountain tunes wherever you may be.

What a fella sadly left us today and not just for Christmas R I P .. Shane

When I was between 18 and 21 I use to go to the pub few times a week, I use to leave house between 6 and 7 pm walking downtown for 30min to meet my friends and drink a few beers ( a lot actually ) On the road I always listen to this album, the first tracks make me full of energy and enthusiasm. I indeed stop my music as I was sharing a good moment with my friends, and play the second part of the album as I was goin back home. For those who know, the second part is not as energic as the begining, there's some balads and sad songs and I was staggering on these sweet last songs on my way back And every damn time, as I was staggering, I remembered that line from "A Pair of Brown Eyes" when he said "Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking". Feelin' really concerned back then lmao Anyway, love this album, maybe a few people will recognize themselfe in my comment, I'll be glad not to be the only one

Saw them once. Only time I've been scared at a gig. Early 20s, and the place packed with lads of around 40 out to relive their youth with drink and madness. It was mayhem. It was magic. Oíche mhaith a chara, codladh sámh x❤

RIP Shane 🙏🥺... I heard about Pogues when I started to be a rebel girl 😅 and never stopped... Ty guys 🫶🌻🖤

Rest in peace Shane MacGowan; you are remembered well on this St. Patty's Day!

Still bad ass after all these years!

Music won't be the same without Shane, Very few musicians had the skill and creativity, RIP

What a marvellous song with such energy. Absolurely Irish soul song !!!

I'm gonna miss ya dear brother . Thanks for so many years of joy and tears. See ya upstairs.

There was so much amazing music in the early 80's. The first time a freind made me listen to this in '82, all I could say was " holy shit"!!!!

The Pogues are the best and Shane McGowan’s teeth are part of the legend. Shane’s growly voice has shades of Leonard Cohen and his sound is at times reminiscent of Mongolian chest singing.

always loved how low his voice gets in this one

Godspeed and a fair wind for the crossing Shane.

This really does take me back to them nights as a kid in the pub at all the family parties till the early hours of the morning playing with all the kids in the car park while our parents were getting shitfaced inside. It sounds bad but were some of the best nights of my life. I miss it so much. Glad to have been brought up around the Irish 💚🧡

I can listen to this song three times in a row. or more. And it never gets old.

RIP, Shane MacGowan. 🙏🙏🙏💕 Thank you for the awesome music. We’re listening to your music & remembering you today in Vienna, Austria. 🇦🇹

Im English but love listening to Irish music i have to visit the Republic of Ireland

Great song, great band, great music !!!

The first three Pogues albums are phenomenal. We're talking all-time great.

All I can say Shane, thanks for the memories and music, saw you seven times, were the best 7 gigs of my life, you maybe gone but the Pogues poetry will live forever

Happy St Paddy's Day 2023, lads and lasses! ☘ 🍀 🍺 🇮🇪

I couldn't agree more!!!! We need a Pogues Revival to lift all our spirits. Shane, do a Collection of the Best 2023 with Live versions... It would be fantastic

Brilliant version. My fav so far.

Rest in peace, for you have given us this gift in life.

Saw the Pogues bin Sydney in 1990 with the latest squeeze Louise Clarke,a nurse from st Vinnie's,,much dancing and beer was to be had...

I saw the Pogues in The Concert Hall, a former Masonic hall, in Toronto when they were touring for this album. Great concert, the band were fantastic, and the venue was licensed! Beer at a Pogues concert? Need I say more? 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2022! ☘ 🇮🇪 🍀

Rest in power, Shane. Thank you. Thank you all.

So long Shane! I hope you rest in peace finally 😢

What a wonderful music. Listened to this while at college for months. Shane's death brought the wish to listen to it again back and reminded me how good Pogues were.

Much respect Mr. MacGowan. I love your music.

Have a great Journey, Shane and thank you for the Music.

It's true what they say Shane, we'll be listening to your music a 100 years from now.

Beautiful music and vocals shane and the pouges rest in peace shane ❤

Could happily listen to this on loop all day, awesome song

rip man and thanks for all the songs

Some rude ass comments on here. All people have features that make them unique and beautiful. It’s about the music and how it makes you feel. The Pogues bring me joy!
