The High Kings - The parting glass

[3WIkidz]

I love this song. I'm in America and my mom and I just watched waking Ned devine. Great movie, great song.

[Friglitz]

The harmonies are great! This has been a fav song for decades before I heard this version. I can't say I love the (Scottish pipe and drum) military production. I think The first version I heard Tommy Makem and the Clancy bros. will always be the most moving.

[splotkin258]

I am so confused by this music. It's authentically Irish style but then has this really overproduced, autotuned feel that kinda makes me sick.

[Dimebag719]

@splotkin258 their voices have a pretty outrageous reverb which makes it seem all autotuned. but i'm not 100% sure about still. still a beautiful piece of music

[cliffcowgirl]

i hate this song, and my class picked it for our senior song!!! D=

[TrueCelticSpirit]

I'm Italian and I love Celtic music, the best ever

[orangecomputerinc]

*Cornish

[orangecomputerinc]

I'm British and also liked it. I'm Welsh. Keep in mind that British includes Welsh, Scottish, and Corning. I believe "English" was what you were looking for, not "British", and even then I hope you were just joking to suggest that English people can't like Celtic music and culture. They did interbreed with us, after all.

[jjheartable]

I love this song! I'm from Holland but this song makes me wish that I was Irish so badly

[HereForTheToons]

Cant stop listening to this! Their voices and the song itself is amazing. Definetly going to see them live!

[Ufucknloveit]

the dislikes are fucking brits for sure my friend.

[madmanwithabox11]

The dislikes are probably Brits.

[KOGMutation]

@madmanwithabox11 Shut up man I'm British and I liked it.

[dorachrathort]

Its not a sad song. Its an alcoholic whos signing. He is not bothering anyone in the pub and he just wants one more song. Its a happy uplifting typical irishman drinking song

[pittipan1]

oohray

[mayakat1]

chills thru my Kelly blood….the pipes add so much..great

[Doedeltje91]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOW BEAUTIFUL!! 

[recruiter40]

dislikes? perhaps it was a seisure, how could anyone not like this.

[dotaylor96]

@recruiter40 because its an insult to anyone who plays/enjoys really irish traditional music, not this sappy peice of piss that makes me cringe everytime i listen to it. Good day sir!

[utubeDaveutube]

@dotaylor96 --- yes, the Irish world-wide hated Waking Ned Devine. As if.

[stefanheikel]

They just played this song at my friend's funeral.

RIP Timmy

[seanspade]

Cheers to Caledonia

[kcorns1]

[TheOnlyOreilly]

[Musicalchick18]

I love being a part of such a wonderful cultural background. Ireland I cant wait till i see your shores :)

[ryane323]

I believe that one person rose too soon and therefore disliked this song.

[stil603]

[jfp2611]

[adityakalyans]

[coletteconroy]

[JennPandabear]

I love this song! :D

[cding12]

Every time I hear this song I see the ending of Waking Ned Devine in my mind. Love it.

[MementoMori1324]

@cding12 Definetly,...

[irishmusicmad]

Love tis song! Nice to see the Clancy name living on through Finbar...brilliant voice

[rafcu97]

beautiful. just beautiful :' )

[BarbaraFord]

It's actually a Scottish song. Check out Sinead O'conners version, it's excellent!

[SarahLovesCormac]

i listen to this song a good 20 times a day, it reminds me so much of someone who recently died but shoudnt of. makes me cry every day

[sandinmyears1]

The lead voices at the beginning, I'm guessing are Finbarr Clancy (of all the money that e'er I had) and then Martin Furey (and all the harm I've ever done).

[razboinik7219]

I want it played at my own funeral procession, complete with the drums and pipes, while everyone including the priest sings and raises a pint in my memory. (And I want to be holding a rosary in my right hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other....) :D

[JennPandabear]

@razboinik7219 I love your idea :)

[leaba]

@razboinik7219 me too but not just yet! though i don't want the priest and told my wife to bury me in the garden instead of the graveyard!

[Enormymous]

@razboinik7219 I want to go to your funeral and ruin it for everybody :D

[LEFT11HAND11LEAD]

@razboinik7219 Done!!

[inkalchemistdesu]

@razboinik7219 You are not alone.

[xxtheJOKESTERxx]

lol, only the irish

[EndoliteMatrix]

My father requested this to be played at his funeral :( Which is fast approaching :(

[Goatmon]

@EndoliteMatrix That's awful.. :(

You have my condolences. 

[erintwenty11]

@EndoliteMatrix it was played at my cousins funeral, twas just beautiful! <3

[dinocubfan]

This was used in a great Ron Santo tribute on WGN radio

[benhuge]

This song is to be played at my funeral. While I am sitting upright in a rocking chair that rocks itself while wearing a full clown suit. Makeup and all.

[SasoriB5]

The only song that can actually bring me to tears...

[hellogoodbye11694]

@SasoriB5 this one and galway to graceland bring me to tears. they are amazing.

[MikeMcMikerson]
