The Sands Family - There were roses (Live 1988 - Festival des politischen Liedes)

#folk #ddr #acoustic #irish #mandoline #ireland Kurzer Ausschnitt vom 18. Festival des politischen Liedes (14.-21. Februar 1988) mit einem Auftritt von The Sands Family auf der Liederbühne (Berlin). Die Komposition ist von Tommy Sands. Lied ist nicht komplett, aber froh überhaupt Filmmaterial davon sehen zu können. The Sands Family - das sind: Tommy Sands, Ben Sands, Anne Sands & Colum Sands. My song for you this evening is not to make you sad, Nor for adding to the sorrows of this troubled northern land. But lately I was thinking and it just won't leave my mind To tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine. Alan Bell from Benagh, he lived just across the fields, A great man for the music, and the dancing and the reels O'Malley came from South Armagh, to court young Alice fair, And we'd often meet on the Ryan Road, and the laughter filled the air. There were roses, roses There were roses And the tears of the people Ran together So my song for you this evening is not to make you sad, Nor for adding to the sorrows of this troubled northern land. But lately I was thinking and it just won't leave my mind To tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine. I don't know where the moral is or this song should end, But I wonder how many wars are fought between good friends. And those who give the orders are not the ones to die. It's Bell - and O'Malley - and the likes of you and I. There were roses, roses There were roses And the tears of the people Ran together (Text & Musik: Tommy Sands) Dick Gaughan + Wacholder: Your Daughters And Your Sons (Live 1985 - Volksbühne Berlin)    • Dick Gaughan + Wacholder: Your Daughters A...   The Dubliners - Seven Drunken Nights (Music-Video - New Edit 2021)    • The Dubliners - Seven Drunken Nights  (Mus...   The Sands Family - Down By The Lagan Side (Live at Kelter, Bietigheim-Bissingen, 10.5.2019)    • The Sands Family - Down By The Lagan Side ...   The Sands Family - Home Away From Home (Live at Kelter, Bietigheim-Bissingen, 10.5.2019)    • The Sands Family - Home Away From Home  (L...
