Christy Moore - One Last Cold Kiss Lyrics

Went to see Christy a few weeks ago.He was absolutely fantastic and Declan Sinnott was brilliant too

So beautiful. Brought me to tears. The original live version is amazing but so's this. How to cover a song by giving the original something of yourselves . . . . wonderful

by the way, I don't understand everything, but I'm pretty sure this tune has nothing to do with Ireland and GB, I suppose...

Yes indeed! Christy does Mountain.

Possibly Christy's finest song.

When i met my man...and then , later, we got to know each other ...that was OUR song forever.
yeh
Later, after i left 4 other countries,it was the Gypsies Hymn
EDERLEZI
So, these days , strangely enough , whenever I m REALLY moved..it s either THAT or EDERLEZI
Go figure..

Hey Mick
I still love u

*COLOSSAL...*

Seeing them live, together, was a great experience, and if anyone has that opportunity, I'd highly recommend it. They're fantastic.

Beautiful song beautifully performed by Christy and Declan!!

Ok I've seen u spouting same shit on Ronnie drew video so I check felix version out and I think it is shit pure shit christy does this song justice

In my book, the only true way to sing this song is by following Felix Pappalardi's vocals. All these vocal variations of this song is an ugly massacre of the Unassailable Quality of Felix Pappalardi's Original. I say, "Quit singing it if you can't sing it the way Felix did! Please, you're f*** killing me with that stupidity."

Absofuckinglutely!

Think of your heart... just relax and enjoy. Tranquilo

@19franken95​​​​ You are thinking with your Ass.

Felix Pappalardi is not alive to direct his opinion here. He cannot defend himself while you and these so-called musicians mangle and trample his song(s).

The beauty of the song is the sense in the period of the time of the beauty of the love between the last Two Island Swans -before the tragedy. That's what people enjoy and love first; then comes the tragedy; and after that, the lamenting.

Cutting straight to the sorrow, while also neglecting the tonal vocal inflections administered by Felix Pappalardi is a complete disgrace to music, and fails to honor the unsung unheralded master Felix Pappalardi.

You, these want-a-be musicians, and this massacre of the song I find offensive. You offend me.

"Quit singing it if you can't sing it the way Felix did" - well my friend: nobody can match Felix. Felix was THE MAN. Anyone who tries to do it like F.P. will fail. These people have no choice but to adapt the song to their own voices - it's the best they can do. Let's be thankful that we are able to listen to the Flowers Of Evil album whenever we want - get those speakers pumping!

R Matrix I own Mountain's Flowers of Evil so I know the original very well. The way I see it is the song has a Celtic feel and Christy Moore felt the song can translate as a Celtic folk song, so using an Irish vocal style sounds appropriate to me, as Felix Pappalardi's voice is to the hard rock/proto-metal style of Mountain. Christy helped introduce the song to Irish folk musicians, but the funny part is when I see an unknown Irish folk artist credit it as an Irish traditional even though the song has its origins in a certain New York hard rock band of the early '70s.

Almost makes me cry

Very, very hard song to interpret,  never mind succesfully pull off!  Nice job mr moore

RIP Felix Papparladi

Mountain!

Fantastic!!!!!

Must showcase this in the Mountain Fan Club forum, The Great Fatsbies. Check in my profile for address :)

tdigano - You're right. Pappalardi.

This song was written by Felix Pappalardi of Mountain

If C Moore had been born in Andalucia, he would be the best flamenco singer. He performs with energy and esprit. Bravo, maestro Moore

try this by katka garcia!

Great post, Declan Synnott is largely overlooked as a performer. Dont know why.

Originally performed by Mountain.
