THE best Christmas song there will ever be
@lastrada528 жыл бұрын
Just as a sad aside but one that many people should be aware of: The wonderful Kirsty MacColl must certainly today be an Angel for what she did in December 2000: While vacationing in Mexico & diving/swimming in a restricted area (for boats) MacColl saw a speeding boat come towards her sons before her sons did; while 13-year old Louis was not in the boat's path Kirsty saw that her 15-year old Jamie was in its path. Kirsty's quick thinking & instincts resulted in her successfully pushing Jamie out of the way of the speeding boat -- but, Kirsty was struck and killed. She saved her son's life. It's what a mother does. I always admired Kirsty for that tragic bravery...I know I won't forget her.

I knew Kristy had passed, but I wasn't aware that it was in so tragic a manner. I will always love her "He's On The Beach". I joined the Navy in '79 for the explicit purpose of seeing Australia. The Navy, however, had different plans. Consequently, I didn't get there until 2005!!! But when I did get there, as I headed from the airport in Brisbane to the place where I was staying, I was blasting "He's On The Beach" on my mp3. Thanks Kristy, you're the best!

Very few songs are instantly timeless. This is one of them. RIP Kristy and Shane.
THE best Christmas song there will ever be
Just as a sad aside but one that many people should be aware of: The wonderful Kirsty MacColl must certainly today be an Angel for what she did in December 2000: While vacationing in Mexico & diving/swimming in a restricted area (for boats) MacColl saw a speeding boat come towards her sons before her sons did; while 13-year old Louis was not in the boat's path Kirsty saw that her 15-year old Jamie was in its path. Kirsty's quick thinking & instincts resulted in her successfully pushing Jamie out of the way of the speeding boat -- but, Kirsty was struck and killed. She saved her son's life. It's what a mother does. I always admired Kirsty for that tragic bravery...I know I won't forget her.

I knew Kristy had passed, but I wasn't aware that it was in so tragic a manner. I will always love her "He's On The Beach". I joined the Navy in '79 for the explicit purpose of seeing Australia. The Navy, however, had different plans. Consequently, I didn't get there until 2005!!! But when I did get there, as I headed from the airport in Brisbane to the place where I was staying, I was blasting "He's On The Beach" on my mp3. Thanks Kristy, you're the best!

My daughter was born on December 25 in Spain, the same day as Shaun. This song shows that music is a universal language. When I listen to it I feel completely happy. May God keep Shane for many years and take care of Kirsty like an angel.
R.i.P Shane, it's so damn sad! Say hello to Kirsty up there and play, sing and dance this wonderful Christmas song with her again!
So sad both have passed on. Let’s hope this gets to number one in the charts
Greatest christmas song ever RIP both of you👍👍
Surely no doubt now that this is the best Christmas song ever recorded? RIP Kirsty and Shane.
A magical Christmas song. God bless Kirsty and Shane.
REST IN PEACE BOTH SHANE AND KIRSTY! WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU!
Rest in Peace to a complete original. Feeling proud to be Irish
How gorgeous was Kirsty!!!!!💗💗💗💗💗
listening to this today ... I can feel a lump in my throat ..i feel the sorrow of loosing this artist.. RIP Shane .. you gifted us this absolute beauty .

Finest Christmas song of the modern era. RIP Shane. You were a hell of a character.
Its delightful that this is never going to be taken down or age restricted because no AI is ever going to be able to decipher the lyrics.
There are not many songs where every time you listen to it, it feels like the first time. This and 'Whole of the Moon' are two that I can listen to over and over again without ever being bored.
A poem for the ages. Beautiful and sad, joyful and optimistic, a tale we will never tire of.
I remember hearing this beautiful song the first time many years ago at the old Harp and Shamrock in Chicago.. It was a winter night and it was snowing at the time and I was downing several Guinness just looking out the bar window and thinking how perfect that moment was..RIP. Shane and Kirsty..thanks for the memories
Rest in peace together in a fairytale 🙏
Best Christmas song ever. Fly high with the ancestors, Shane🙏♥️💛💚🕊️🔥🔥🔥
