Lyrics
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's offering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down
One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast child sings again
(Sinead O'Connor)
I dreamed last night
That my own love came in
He came in so sweetly
His feet made no din
He crept up beside me
And this he did say:
It will not be long, love,
'Til our wedding day
Some come back Billy, won't you come on home
Come back Mary, you've been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long
And your father's calling, come on home
Come on home, come on home
Come back people, you've been gone a while
And the war is raging, in the emerald isle
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
All the girls are crying but all's not lost
The streets are empty, the streets are cold
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
The streets are empty
Life goes on, Life goes on
One day we'll return here
When the Belfast child sings again
When the Belfast child sings again

    Its 2 days after my mums funeral this was her favourite song she sat and repayed it over and over before her passing sharing it on her fb in the lead up to going to hospital as at that point is all she spent time doing was listening to this she was numb to alot of things even her state of health we played this at her funeral i hated it was nervously laughing at the song but then relized it was a beautiful song beautiful atmosphere to hear it for a beautiful woman the doors were open in the Chapel sun shining threw the doors what a beautiful day it was because of all this I knew she would be free from everything and felt some of her spirit leave the room to this song in a happy manner the rest of her spirit went to me and my sister on her last breaths I strongly believe and feel that so may you rest in eternal peice justine Lee Wilson born Edinburgh 1971 lived a happy life with her children and grandchildren reece abby caden and rhea and my partner chantelle died the 12th of April 2024 at 23.43 pm at Edinburgh Royal infirmary acu 1 to bay 5 room 4 or Bay 4 room 5 her we got her to Thomas marrin directors where we met donald barrie who was a utter gentleman who showed the most compassion fir us and our mother and then the following days coming met Jackie mckinney who was a sweetheart who showed the same passion for us in the kindest of ways spoke about my mums life with us for the funeral then on the day it was hosted at warreston cemetery where she got her beautiful service 17 may 2024 ❤

    I cannot believe how much modern music has fallen down, incredibly down. Please, compare this song (an irish traditional song, wonderfully arranged by Simple Minds) with any other of today. This is the same with movies, arts and everything else!! We're going to the abyss....

    @Anony Mouse many thanks for the article. I was really surprised at the following two possible explanations of the issue: 1) ...rise of lower-skill service jobs has made work less intellectually demanding...; 2) ... global warming... OK... the first hypothesis is sound indeed but the second one is simply ridiculous! However, my idea is that the article authors are jerking readers around in that they miss to mention the "real" reason why people are becoming monkeys: digital dementia!! The web, computer and smartphone abuse is driving us fool and low-QI (and humanity) equipped slaves. The quite interesting books by Manfred Spitzer (e.g.: Digital Dementia) and Michel Desmurget (among others) provide much scientific insight on that. Our brain is decreasing in performances and our heart is frozing. And this is not a case! The élites are forcing this crazy "evolution" dramatically for self evident reasons. But people do non get the web, smart phones and so on enough. This is totally crazy and made the Huxley's "Brave New World" come true!! Cheers from Italy

    This song is one of the powerful songs ever recorded. A Scottish Band from Glasgow, ( Simple Minds),, would be the next best outside of an Irish band to sing about the ""troubles". in Northern Ireland. I am Scots on Dads side and Irish Catholic on Mum's . The joint and mixed history has brought with it a mixture of bitterness , but also wonderful music and shared love of very common cultures. Jim Kerr, you are a brilliant.

    Before sixteen months i lost my best girlfriend. I had met her before 20 years. I was on a walk with my wife as singles. We heard her singing in a square, she was a street artist. I was amazed from her voice. We waited there until she took a break. Then we started talking about music. I remember her as a free spirit. She could start singing no matter if the washing machine was on, or bikes making noise with the exausts, if soneone was raising his voice at the apartment next. She was "sinking" in the music. We gone to the place with my wife few times so we started a very nice friendship. We used to gather at homes and our best game was the "ping pong song". Telling the title we tried to find the artist or the band. So one day i told her this song. She didn't knew it but after a few days she found it and told me that she loved it and would sing it in every appearence she would make. The years past and suddenly she get sick from cancer. The last time i show her at the hospital we put in on and crossed our hands closing our eyes, feeling endless respect and love to each other. When i stood up to go she told me "i love you as much as this song". I felt great honor by her words and said to her "the streets are empty until the Belfast child sings again". That was the last words we said to each other and the last time we saw each other. Rita i miss you but i m sure there is no pain where you are now.

    CHARLIE BURCHILL, like his bandmates are the most under - rated & under - valued Guitarist / Supergroup in Music History arguably, and particularly in America, where U2 is idolized and S. Minds, to many, are known for "Don't You Forget About Me", and "Alive & Kicking", and nothing else: That un- awareness of a tremendously innovative band Was, and Still to this day is partially if not "fully" caused by Radio: When U2 began to use keyboards/ synths, a weapon amongst many in S, Minds used, well before their Irish neighbors, U2 got all the credit. THE EDGE is good, no diubt but Charlie's range, varying tones, and ability to rip "Edge like" riffs in a Burchill style is where he scores BONUS points; This is CS from the US saying CHARLIE BURCHILL, you're Simply "Mind- Blowing" Special...

    Simple Minds connect the Dots no matter what Place, Race, or Country you live in this is CS from the US that knows how under- rated and overshadowed by U2 here in America,this incredibly innovative and Funky this band is, w/ the ability to shift gears and emote in medium to slow tempo in a highly slick & polished manner: They've never released a "bad" record beyond the "early" early period of their career Best group many Americans know little or nothing about... May JIM KERR & his bandmates be blessed to add to their "Living Legends" resumes.

    I feel this is one of those performances where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Jim Kerr and Sinead both feel the song and they express it through their voices. Jim Kerrs slow and deliberate movements are in tune with the tempo and the gravity of the song I feel. The same goes for the guitar of Charlie Burchill. All in all a cohesive force rarely attained.
