The Town I Loved So Well

The Town I Loved So Well

The Town I Loved So Well ist ein Song des irischen Musikers Phil Coulter aus dem Jahr 1973, der sich mit dem Nordirland-Konflikt auseinandersetzt.

Die ersten drei Strophen des Liedes behandeln das einfache, aber als glücklich dargestellte Leben in den Arbeitervierteln von Derry in Nordirland, wo der Erzähler seine Kindheit verbrachte. Die letzten zwei Strophen behandeln den blutigen Konflikt zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken in Derry. Es wird dargestellt, wie sich der zuvor idyllisch beschriebene Ort in einen Bürgerkriegsschauplatz verwandelte und die aus Kindertagen vertrauten ruhigen Straßen nun von Panzern der Armee gesäumt werden.

Eine sehr bekannte Version dieses Songs stammt von der irischen Band The Dubliners. Hannes Wader coverte diesen Song unter dem Titel Kleine Stadt.
