[GlasgowCeltic88]

@MrDataball They must be retarded or deaf....

[josparkes1]

Beautiful, love it !

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Stunning

[BarerRudeROC]

Come to Ireland and experience the beauty of our land, much like our music.

[ein987]

I don't know how one would going about discribing this song. "Masterpiece" or "Beautiful" are the only words that come to mind when I hear this. It's one of the most amazing pieces of music I have heard in a very long time.

[TheWort80]

Amazeing tune i spent 3 weeks at sea when i was 17 years of age on board the asgard II and this tune always brings back those days . my name is Sean and im a born and bread Dublin man. greetings to all you people that a listing to this tune all over the world cuk ar la........

[denbopipe]

great tune must try and find bagpipe sheet music for it,if its about 

[therulerofthewolves]

There is nothing about this song short of "beautiful". It's beyond lovely.

[Jharden1982]

I am from America and I can't seem to find any good celtic music anywhere. It's a shame that this country seemed to lose sight of what good music is. This is amazing and I can't seem to find it.

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

@Jharden1982 I hope you found your music.Celtic music is wonderful

[chadlovesdrums]

tell the truth i was sad when it ended it was amazing

[JenNOleinik]

I Love it, Very lovely and beautiful.

 Thank You for this [': Greeting from Ireland .

[assasinua]

Thats amazing,i never heard such wonderful composition!

[malismad]

I do it better every Sunday, on a whistle.

[violinprincess21]

[MrCraigBatley]

Ist meine herzelein liebe song

[nixon092010]

thats your irish blood coming through

[heatherwind]

I could listen to this piece forever - it reminds me very much of being on the water here in the Pacific Northwest. Greetings from Seattle, and thank you so very much for posting this!

[GlouwBug]

@HenricJansenMovies Its haunting due the key its played in. Bminor Dorian if I'm not mistaken. Greensleeves does the same thing.

[pullasiivu]

I like very much! Greetings from Helsinki Finland :)

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@pullasiivu

thank you for the comment and greetings from the UK.

[cmndo]

@GlasgowCeltic88

greetings from Australia, WOOH

[Tehpromo]

@pullasiivu hyvä biisi :D

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@HenricJansenMovies

Maybe it's Aoife Ni Fhearraigh haunting voice or the way Phil plays the melody...

[jimthetim1973]

my ringtone,a dont answer a just let it play lol

[bobmarleyleggend]

very good

[gotz777]

a thought the original was the best but after listening to this , its equally good.

same ingredients 2 different chefs, 2 different dishes. mmmmm i learn a wee bit mare each day

[jimthetim1973]

great version , tiocfaidh ar la for celtic and ireland . remember the 10 rip

[UlidianPechts]

Yeh its great to be a prod in Ireland Up the Celts :)

[zlatkojovic1]

XDjohanmystXD

this is not boring u fcing tard!!!!

[sorchahannah]

btw....brilliant :)

[sorchahannah]

do you think it would be possible for two voices and a guitar to cover this just singing "ahhh" for the melody and "ahh" for a harmony or would that get boring? :S

[L33t00k]

Love it

[conbhui]

ta failte

[southtipp]

Brilliant tune.

This is also used on the youtube vid. 'The Funeral of Brendan Hughes'

Up the 'Tic' btw.

[gcamaill]

Thank you for this GlasgowCeltic, it's beautiful. I'd never heard this version, Phil Coulter did a wonderful arrangement with this one, I can't stop listening to it.

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@gcamaill,

Me either... I think Aoife Ni Fhearraigh's voice at the start just adds to the haunting melody...

[conbhui]

cool tune. best version ive heard so far

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@conbhui,

Thanks.

[spl1ffy]

Cracking tune Glasgowceltic !!

***** !!

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@spl1ffy,

Thank you :-D

[superdudeman01]

hello i am looking for this song so i can have it in a game intro (oblivion) is there a website where i can download it?

[GlasgowCeltic88]

superdudeman01,

Which artist are you looking for? Phil Coulter, or the artist who originally wrote it (Finbar Furey) back in '62 at the age of 16?

Regards,

GC88

[superjailwardenlover]

whoa..at first, this seemed really creepy, but now..it...it's just...its just perfect. nothing more to say. 5/5

[GlasgowCeltic88]

superjailwardenlover,

'Really creepy'...?! :o

Are you sure we're talking about the same song here! lol

It's mellow and chilling but I would have to agree with you the opening section (till he comes in on the piano) does have a haunted feel to it. but don't blame Phil for that, blame the legendary Aoife Ni Fhearraigh and her haunting voice. LOL

Thanks for listening and voting,

GC88.

[superjailwardenlover]

no, no, i didn't mean it like that, this song is very brilliant and phil's just..awesome. i agree with you on your fourth paragraph there though, lol..

but the song is was, still, and always will be brilliant as is =3

[misa2100]

Always reminds me of

wonderful days spent fishing on the Corrib with my beloved Dad

Magic !

[Armpit2k7]

[bjorkman88]

[Asator66]

[upthedubs2008]

You make it clear what kind of person you are when you make remarks like that, he's a musician, chill out like

[GlasgowCeltic88]

upthedubs2008 AND chickenballroll...

This is quoted from Phil himself:

'In recent years it seems as if my music has found it's way into every hotel lobby, elevator and resteraunt in Ireland (I'm Not complaining!).'

So :-p to both of you... lol

[upthedubs2008]

lol, fair play to him.. and long may it continue..

[kieranhenshall]

Favourite version. Simply fantastic.

[brandnewdancer]

still prefer finbar's version, rawer purer - this is good but like a film score.

[crazykyle06]

To this day one of my favorite pieces...This version my Favorite!

[slipkmot]

Finbar's version is excellent... however i think this one is deeper and way softer which makes me like much more this version than Finbar's...

Keep listening over and over again, and it calms me down everytime i hear it... i cant rate it because there aren´t enough stars...this song is a tribute to peace and tranquility...

Many thanks from me and from Portugal =)

[GlasgowCeltic88]

slipkmot,

Just got around to reading your comment and your right it does have a calming effect whenever you listen to it. It's top of my 'chillout' playlist on my mp3 player.

With a song of this quality there will NEVER be enough stars to vote on...

Many thanks for your comment and hope to hear from you on my other P.C. vids ;-)

GC88

[Firebird5432]

I love this song!Truly beautiful,I get chills everytime I hear this song.

One thing about this piano version is lacking...it's the end with the flute (like in the original),It would have been so awesome!

[IrishJen31]

Absolutely breathtaking!

[avraks]

This was great! I'd really like a pure flute version too though.. Does anyone know where I can find this, but without speech and song?

[GlasgowCeltic88]

Avraks,

Thank you for watching.... & thank you for commenting, much appriciated ;-)

When you say 'without speech and song', do you mean a solo piece on the flute?! I have 'several' versions (43 to be exact) of this wonderful piece of music from Adelante to Spirit of '16.

Once again thank you for watching & feel free to watch all of my others ;-)

Slán

GC88.

[avraks]

Yes, that is what I am asking for =) Maybe im just being lazy in my search, but cant find that many versions of the song here on Youtube :/

[ballinameen]

The Lord God and all Hs Angels could not play it better than this version.i

[GlasgowCeltic88]

A chara.

Thank you for the warming comment...

I think your right there.

Slainte,

GC88

[msjulieeann]

This is quite lovely. He does a beautiful job on that piano. I could listen to this over and over. It is very tranquil, yet it has a mysterious sound to it. Thanks for posting it.

[GlasgowCeltic88]

Thank you for taking the time to listen to it.

I still think Finbar's version is the best... But, yes, Phil is a genius on the ole black & white keys...

GC88.

[Tinymoezzy]

Beauty song is calming to the soul and yet wakes you at the same time. Thank you ever so for this post.

[LeonardoCapeli5]

When i first heard this i got it on limewire and i love it GO IRELAND!!!!!!!

[GlasgowCeltic88]

Sláinte for the comment a chara.

Go look up Finbar Furey's version, if you want to hear it played as it should be, on the flute/chieftian pipe (NO offence Phil...).

Slán,

GC88

[haggman7]

I love this, i first heard this song like two weeks ago! I want to learn this on the piano, do you by any chance know if/where i can get the music for this? Ah, so nice, you're the only one with phil coulter's version on youtube...i think :P I cant stop listening to it, im a hard rock lover, but i do have a soft side for music like this. Simply wonderful.

[GlasgowCeltic88]

Your welcome haggman7.

As and when I find ANYONE doing the full sheet music for this, I'll let you know! I've been looking for over 2 yaers for a full, decent copy of Lonesome Boatman, on piano, but so far without sucess :-(

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it...

GC88

[haggman7]

No problem! Thank you for letting me know when you find sheet music, i hope you meet Phil Coulter someday as my goal is to meet my favorite band Dream Theater. Im on napster right now listening to some of PC's songs, they,re wonderful, i actually got on the computer and played this song when my mom was sick, and she loved it.

[Skaldmatte]

wow...

[GlasgowCeltic88]

You said it...

Thanks,

GC88.

[Milesu2b]

Im a metalhead.

[GlasgowCeltic88]

Can you belive this was written by a young 16yr old lad from Dublin in 1962???

Great stuff!

Thanks for the comment, much appriciated.

Slán,

[Broadwaybambina]

that woman sounds like the one who did vocals on the titanic soundtrack

[GlasgowCeltic88]

It's Aoife Ní Fhearraigh. A native from North West County Donegal, not that far from where Phil lives actually. She features heavily on his 'Lake Of Shadows' album.

[jaybee1952]

very nice melodic tune thanks glasgow.

[RopeDrink]

It's a nice version - Still prefer the Original from Finbar Furey, far more haunting in it's originality, can't beat the old Tin Whistle.

[salveteomnes]

cool song!! i heard it in another vid and i loved it!!!

[brophala]

Nice. This is mascr on the forums btw.
