Christy Moore - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Lyrics

Roger Waters is one of the greatest songwriter ever. Those lyrics!

Fab version Christy

as good as the original

MAGIC .

Better than Pink Floyd...

Don't forget Declan Sinnott on guitar….

Stunning

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, that's amoore'

I am a Pink Floyd fan and usually don't like covers... Christy nailed it... crispy beautiful voice! I'm in love!

Well done Christy ,great respect to pink Floyd ,I would like to see pink Floyd cover "NANCY SPAIN "

I love you Matthew ... 10/1/2018

A favourite song and a lovely version from a fine singer

great song by a great singer

Such a lilt.

This version never gets old. Beautiful stuff.

better than the original! Great job - I especially like the 3rd verse.

...better than the original?how is it possible that you've said that?how can it ever be better than the original when the original was the inspiration for this and every other cover....but even if it was true...how can you even whisper such a comment?Whose heart can it be so cold and ugreatful as to make pointless comparisons instead of just being thankful and silent...?

You sing beautifully - I love your songs

pure beauty

amazing version stripped And fully of meaning beautiful

Go raibh maith agat , awesome job

I want to see Christy do more stuff like this. He'd do a good job of Sabbath's folkier stuff like "Planet Caravan" or "Solitude".

Check out the Cardigans version of Planet Caravan

I love this version!

lovely........

Really Nice. I'd love to hear what you two would do with a Radiohead song.

SMELLTHEBULL Not Christy but Show of Hands did an awesome version of Fake Plastic Trees, if that's any help!

That's beyond singing a song.
That's building an everlasting momument, with the bricks, of every word.

Pure genius!

Underwhelming. Like everything else by this over rated lefty.

And your problem is...?

go back in your hole wodger wabbit

Well done christy. Didnt think you could do this classic justice, but you pulled it off. Both. Well done

Well done declan, "anyone" could have done this, you DID,

I've never heard anything like it!

The energy and emotion in that is off the scale.

OMG - wonderful !

This gave me chills. Nicely done.

Great to hear Christy paying homage to Barrett and Pink Floyd.. Goes to show great music transcends the concept of musical genres, crossing into all styles, sailing across the imaginary barriers people erect in their minds... Enjoyed listening to this stripped down, simplistic arrangement.. You can tell he loves the song and artists who created it... All the very best, from Davey, another musician from Longford Town in Éire...

shine on u crazy...good Christi!!!

he is mudering that!

As a massive Pink Floyd fan and an Irish man i can only say i love this cover. Fantastic stuff.

What a gem.

A classic track performed to perfection by a class artist

I would kill to use this in a film

Absolutely amazing! !!!!!!!

I first heard Christy Moore's version of this song on Celtic Crush with your host, Larry Kirwan and I've been a fan ever since.

Christy Moore is the best.

I love the way David Gilmour did this at His Meltdown Concert.

this such a beautiful version of a great song. christy's voice is stellar, as always.

I don't like it. Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour would be turning in their graves!

Roger and Dave aren't dead... why would they turn in their graves?

What the world is wrong with you

From the soul , thanks boys , Sid will be happy.

outstanding,classic Christy improvisation amongst everything and Declan guitar work is class as always

Stunning !!, the best cover of SOYCD ever, just guitar and voice, thankyou Christy and Declan, it just goes to show us once again what an artist Christy is, Sublime.

Superb !

Lovely cover..

Love ya, Christy...

Chris thank-you for this cover, I recently lost a friend and I used the Pink Floyd redux version for his service remembrance video. Wish I had found this sooner.

Like,like,like...can't like this performance of the song enough!!!!

this gets better every time I listen to it. Christy and Declan, what a duo

Love your cover... great performance of this beautiful & sad song :) !

did any one else notice the 'Jacob and Co's Buiscuits poster in the background

Any chance on sharing the chord Fingerings ? This is awesome

ever get a hold of that mate?

This a pretty good layout (chords at bottom).
https://www.e-chords.com/chords/christy-moore/shine-on-you-crazy-diamond.
But watching the guitar player is pretty intuitive. (Capo 2 for F#
minor where he sings this). In this chord layout they have the chord
listed as a B before the B7 at end of chorus. It should be B minor. I
just re arranged it for DADGAD tuning and it sets up nice.

now i want to hear dave gilmour do ride on.

Very cool ♫

Lovely lovely thank you xxx

My mum got me into him years ago. Its when I see him live at glasto in 94 that I realised what a great artist this man is.

That guitar sounds fantastic

never heard of this chap before,stumbled upon him by a happy accident.simply stunning!

He is an Irish institution. Part of of the precious furniture.

Christy Moore does the Floyd, it doesn't get any better. Superb.

stunning and pure

Zis 'ow you say... kicks ze' arse and kicks it big time hard. Love it!

Christy Moore as a living-room-artist!!! Wonderful!!!
Best greetings from Germany from medianmusic

Saw you sing this live in London a couple of years ago, when you dedicated it your son. What a great version fantastic.

declan sinnott on guitar, beautiful accompaniment to a legend singing a legendary song...

Id Rather Listen To Pink Floyds Version Any Day! Christy Moore Is Class Tho

One person accidentally hit dislike.

Simply wonderful, heard this on Serius Xm And was blown away :) made me explore more of your stuff , love it all VERY NICE bless ya :)

Beautiful

@chris, we learned it by playing it long before the internet but I take your point, it is really good as a piece, in fact this is outstanding, one of my favourite Irish musicians singing one of my favourite songs, it doesn't get much better. I can't help but think that Syd would have approved.

random precision, the greatest oxymoron ever!

Very nice!

Wow Thats lovely

This is no ordinary man this Christy Moore

PERFECT

You cannot always do what you love. But anyway: Love what you do!

This song doesn't need anything or anybody more to be played with all the intensity it deserves to be played with. SO INTENSIVE!

There is so much Feeling in this Song - Thx for posting

fanfuckingtastic

I just stopped making out with my girlfriend to hear the rest of this song!
