The Parting Glass - Shane McGowan video free download

Killain Maccallan

The people who hate this either have no soul, or have lived life.Without tormented people like Shane McGowan, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison etc we would have missed out on so much brilliance....not just in music but also other arts

Sean Smith

What a beautiful song and everything about it, if your not Irish you just would not understand ...rest peacefully Tommy, Clancy Brothers and may Shane keep doing his fucking thing,

Mick Reilly

Ah Shane, c'mon. You're so much better than this. We love ya, we really do.

First time I have heard this song,I think bob dylan must have took inspiration from this for his song restless farewell 

Seamus O'Toole

Awful. I think you need your teeth to sing properly. I love Shane, but he does not do this song justice.

Marina W

no teeth, still killin it

paul hicks

when i get to the end of my life i think this will reflect my life.shambolic at times but always with the best of intentions

Can understand why people don't like it, but I LOVE it...

There are many definitions of the term beautiful - to me, this is beautiful. Shane has his demons but sings from the soul. Hear so many "technical" singers who can insert all the frills and trills but who sound far sterile because the focus is on the form not the song

I believe Shanes drink and drugs habit moulded him into the singer he was, love him or hate Im proud to call him a fellow Irishman

Jon Gunson

One of the very best, drunk or sober.

Hubert Ainsworth

Ripping into Shane for being drunk is futile.This is Shane take him or leave him, even hes old, wasted and worn out ( severe alcoholism and a junk habit will do that to a man). He may not sing well but he sings from the heart and thats way fucking more than most people can be given credit for. i'll always raise a glass to Shane and enjoy his music no matter what state he is in.

This song was written for the blessed Shane MacGowan. Grand indeed....

Emerald Cypress

Too many pints!

John O'Connor

Sad, can I also add pathetic. I wonder why anyone can listen to this, why did the backing musicians tolerate it? Total trashing of a good song. Stay at home if you are that drunk, dont pretend that you can be funny because you might have been famous. This is so bad that words cannot describe. I will hold my patience now. If you can add any reason why this is good I will listen but you will not convince me; you can try but you will not convince me.

Rock on Shane - too good

Eoin Scully

This let's down a great song. Very sad to see to disliking this performance not the song.

Unique but surly better than all the mono tone stuff tidy if you can't here the hurt and pain in his voice your defth and stupid

Quinn McCully

Love Shane and the Pogues, but he really struggles belting it out during this performance.

If ever a song met a singer..this is it. Bless Shane.
