John McDermott's version of Danny Boy was always my favourite one, but having finally seen Miller's Crossing and hearing this version, I'm really impressed by this one as well.
@fireman12888 have you heard of Harry Connick Jr.'s version of the song? it's very good also. by the way, as the song is an Irish folk song, i'm trying to find a version that's most closest to the Irish sound (like with pipes, fiddles, etc.). Got any recommendation? Thanks in advance!!
This is a truly beautiful version of Danny Boy, and I dedicate it to my lovely brother Dave who died prematurely last year. His birthday would have been tomorrow (8th September). Dave, I hope you're sleeping in peace. Love you so much, miss you so much.
To explain "ye" in a way that is more readily comparable to today's English: "ye" is the nominative form of objective "you" - but in modern times we "you" as both the objective form and the nominative form. Of course, the old singular nominative "thou" and its objective "thee" have both been replaced by "you", and the plural forms "thy" and "thine" by "your" and "yours", respectively.
this song was actually written by an English man in 1910. the Irish just assumed title and its not actually about a boy going off to war but just leaving home.
My name is Danny...

The great voice singing a classic.
Just curious. Why "ye"? Ye is the archaic plural of archaic thou.

@AnotherCuppaCoffee You're right. I think "Ye" can be used in the singular to add formality or respect though. Not sure if that's the story though...
jamesbuckie1 11 months ago
@jamesbuckie1 Actually, the opposite is true. 'Ye' and 'thou' are the intimate forms of the word.
