that’s your opinion, but understand that the shitty vocals are a big part of the pogues’ style. it’s very important in the sense that it really captures the drunken, happy or solemn feeling that most of the songs have. you may not like it, but it has its value.
engalstiger-You can believe that America is heading in that direction right now.I did understand why the Irish came here.I just wish it didnt have to have happened for them that way,is all.
It’s sad that the Irish people have to come to the US to make a better life.Ireland is such a beautiful place,and America is going downhill fast. It’s hard living here,…..violence,no jobs,high cost of living,..extreme debt,..etc. As to this video,its really a perfect blending of image and music. I love the Shane oodles.

CARLO SANDS SENT ME HERE BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT FREEDOM MEANS AND HOW WE WILL NEVER LET THE CHAINS OF POVERTY BIND US !!! SAOIRSE !! #KONYH !!
Deeply moving – it makes me think of the Great Hunger and all death and suffering.
