| Correction my statement above: Song was first performed by the Dubliners, not the Clancy Brothers. Bob Dylan also did a cover on The Basement Tapes... It's not bad. | |

Correction to statements above: This song is a poem originally written by famous Irish playwright Brendan Behan. Brendan Behan did not write the Irish national anthem (called The Soldier's Song for those of us not familiar), that was written by his uncle Peadar Kearney. This song was I believe first performed by The Clancy Brothers. The Pogues did without a doubt the best version of it. I was happy to find that DKM did a cover of it, until I heard the cover... Sure enough, they butchered what was once a very pretty song. |

guitarman you are an idiot. "guitaring" is not a word. their guitar playing is not impressive at all. who cares? and screaming isn't hard. who would honestly want to scream like that? it's in poor taste. why is it when you insult a band like this everyone just wants to be like, "but dude they're talented, you try and scream like that." there's a reason most people don't scream like that... idiots. |

I hope this help clear some of the debate up. Iceland was settled by immigrants from Scandinavia, Ireland, and Scotland during the 9th and 10th centuries. The first person to settle Iceland was a Nord (later joined by infamous Erik the Red), who settled in what is now Reykjavik, in 870. Along with him came several other families who were accompanied by servants and slaves, some of whom were Celts or Picts from Ireland and Scotland, who were called "Westmen" by the Norse. They were called Westmen because they were from the western part of Europe. Also, the Celts/Picts fought in hordes... that explains the wester shore and to fight the horde. We come from the land of the ice and snow / from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. Norway has alot of hot springs, geysers, and geothermal activity.. as does Iceland (but Iceland isn't that cold, so it makes me question if they are speaking of former attacks launched from Norway or other parts of Scandinavia where geysers are common). The midnight sun would mean the winter months, as it happens in the northern hemisphere. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. The above part is most likely a reference to again the attacks the Nords launched on Ireland and Scotland and took a large part of the Pict population as slaves. Another part I am wondering about the western shore is... Erik the Red was expelled from Iceland for manslaughter. Erik the Red left and went to try and settle Greenland, Erik not being the first to discover it but the first to spend many witners there (he returned later to Iceland and called it Groenland, naming it so to lure Icelanders there). anyways, Erik the Red's son was the famous Leif Ericson. Leif Ericson was given boats by then king of Norway Olaf Tryggvason to go out and explore island that Bjarni Herjolfsson (credited as the first non-Chinese person to land in America) discovered... which became North America. that could be the western shore, however around this time Leif Ericson and many other Norsemen had converted to Christianity so that wouldn't go with the Valhalla I am coming home part... anyways, I hope that helps. cheers. |

| My Chemical Romance – The Ghost of You Lyrics | 19 years ago |

hahaha, this band sucks. I can't believe that you people are buying CDs from horrible "artists" like this when there are kids starving in Africa. you know their record label is just going to put this money towards making more copy-cat bands of this one (when they're no longer cool and you're all embarassed for having listened to it), and the only thing that My Chemical Romance is going to buy with their share is black and red hair dye, girl jeans, and money for shitty generic tattoos. way to go you pigs. real musicians, long dead, are rolling in their graves. I am talking about people like John Lennon, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix... you know, people deserving of the title "artist". and dude, black metal and emo are nothing alike. how the fuck do bands like Saves The Day, Dashboard Confessional, and Taking Back Sunday sound anyhting like black metal? this is not "black metal without keyboards and more singing" it's called "mall metal". |

Connor Oberst is not artistic. if you think this is art, do yourself a favor and go home and burn all your tapes, all your records, all your CDs, and break your computer to pieces. you're all idiots and would probably say the Beach Boys suck. go listen to something real, like.. The Beatles or Neil Young. you're wasting your brain. |

asnyone who likes this cover doesn't like music. Ian Curtis is rolling in his grave and all of you ass clowns should kill yourselves for being so retarded. in fact, if you've ever willingly listened to Fall Out Boy, may God have mercy on your soul. and I hope you all wake up tomorrow with feces in your bed. |

this song sucks. look at how horrible and juvenile these lyrics are: Pull, harder, strings, Martyr, Stop, you cry, that's, a lie, Flush, gasping, white, reddening, You smile, and destroy it- it's time that we end this! oh good job dipshit, you successfully wrote some of the most childish lyrics next to Weird Al Yankovic - and he was trying to do that. these guys are clowns and in a year they won't be remembered compared to other 10,000 crappy no-talent bands that sound exactly the same. |
