I'm probably biased, by it always seemed like this song was written just for me. My dad was in the PIRA, and he was killed accidentally in a bombing. When I listen to this song, I just get filled with all kinds of emotions, mainly anger towards the fucking black and tans. I'll always remember he used to tell me that he was proud to be fighting, and he would gladly give his life for Ireland, and that I should keep the fight. Well...he did. Just what it means to me.

this song makes me pause, and remember one night.. it was right after warped tour, and my friend levi and i were sitting in the parked car, waiting for our two friends mandi and julie, and we had seen flogging molly, and he was playing this song over and over..it just makes me think of what a wonderful day that was, it makes me think of good friends and awesome memories..oh, so very corny, i know..
i heard this song on the w.t. 02 comp disc and thought this band was way rad...never would have thought that mixing irish and punk could be so friggin awesome! anyways, yeah flogging molly is a really rad band ~
dave king wrote this song in memory of a lesson his father taught him before he did, he sed the only flag u should stand for is a flag for peace, and i toltally agree
Look, I don't want to get into the whole argument of whether we should slap a genre on everything; If you like having labels for music then more power to you. However, it is worth noting that Flogging Molly consider themselves (and probably most other good music) unclassifiable. If anyone has watched "Whiskey on a Sunday" then they've heard all of Flogging Molly clearly express that, to them, being squeezed into any genre diminishes their music; it imparts a bias. People think about the genre instead of actually just listening to the music. Funnily enough Nathan Maxwell, the bass player, (I think it was him) said that if he had to label them as anything he would have to say Soul, from the feeling he gets out of it.
So yes, Flogging Molly has Punk influences, and definite Irish influences, and classic rock influences, and even some more eastern musical influences, but those are not what they are. They are not one part of the equation and they are greater than the sum of their parts.
This song rules!! Great lyrics here!
this song is so awesome! i got to see it performed live at the warped tour in kansas city. just a little background, he (the lead singer of flogging molly) wrote it about his father, in case you couldn't figure it out. YEAH!
I thought this song was about the struggle of the IRA and the struggle for full Irish independence from England. ps:I think the likes of you again is about his father

He wrote it about his father who never saw peace in Ireland. At least that's what he said at the show I went to. By the way, this is my favorite FM song.

this song rocks! i love their irish...ness and how they can mix it with a some punk rock and make a bad ass band called flogging molly.
Irish punk is good punk! It's so fucking good when its irish. It is impossible not to feel something when listening to a flogging molly song! I swear, if somoene chained me to the floor so I couldn't move, I would porbably break the chains or die trying!
