Directed by: Mark Higgins
I’m Shipping Up to Boston’ is a high-energy Celtic punk song by Dropkick Murphys, released in 2005 as part of their album ‘The Warrior’s Code.’ The lyrics, written by Woody Guthrie, tell the story of a sailor who has lost his leg and is traveling to Boston to find his wooden leg. The music video, directed by Mark Higgins, features scenes from Boston and captures the raw energy and spirit of the band. The song gained widespread popularity after being featured in Martin Scorsese’s film ‘The Departed’ and has since become a defining anthem for the band.
