Song title: A Pair of Brown Eyes
Artist: The Pogues
Year: 1985
Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Shane McGowan
I got into the Pogues in my early twenties. At first it was the novelty of Celtic folk played the speed of a punk band with the raucousness of a drunk singalong. But then, upon closer examination, there is a high class of songcraft at work. Indeed, it is through the Pogues that I learnt the strength of an opening line among other things.
So here's to you Shane, a true poet if ever there was one.
