My Dad passed away today, this song is so befitting, he taught me so much about life, I have fond memories of our adventures. Love you Dad, thanks for everything and safe journey where ever your spirit wanders.
The man I called Daddy died a few months ago he was really my maternal grandfather but he was more father to me than my own parents were. I miss my Daddy its hard to believe I will not talk to him again and he wont call me just to see how I am. I keep expecting to wake up to him watching the news and making pancakes.
My father took a heat attack 6weeks ago!! He`s doing fine now but when you here songs like this it just brings back what you could miss when he go`s!!!! But i`ll not miss what he gave me. Love him.
Thank you for sharing that lads: Our father.Daniel O'NEILL. - 18.05.1918. a youthfull 92 yo.Entered eternal life .10.06.2010. Suddenly, after a short illness with his family at his side. Dearly loved husband of Ellie (Mary Ellen).64 ½ years married. Loved and respected by us all.
Maybe it's because he signed a cassette tape for my 21st birthday a few years ago ;-) I think Finbarr had more vocal range to, a melancholic and melodramatic aspect to his voice that was perfect for some of these songs like stealaway for example!
just read your note aberafan sincere sympathy. youy've probabaly already been to the concert but what I want to say now is that although my "old man " died over forty years ago when i was 16 I still miss him but he live son in the songs and stories I still share with my brother and sisters, say a prayer for your father, sing a song for him, tell a story about him keep his memory alive, God Bless.
hey chris i lost my father 3 months ago, the pain still hasn't gone away but keep your fathers memory alive talk to his freinds and family about bet there is stuff you never knew and people showing up for his wake and funeral will surprise you
The first time I heard this song was in the Lower Deck in Dublin, the singer was Patsy Watchorn and it hit me like a ton of bricks, I wasn't prepared for it and I cried my eyes out. My Old Man has been gone 25years but he was right there beside me that night when I heard the song for the first time in Dublin. The Fureys are so genuine and sincere and deliver this song beautifully, they are a truly gifted bunch and great ambassadors for Irish Folk Music.

Love this song. I like to dedicate it to my own father who died 21 years ago and to the Dutch actor Ton van Duinhoven who died yesterday.

@sherp2u1 Really? I love the way he plays all his instruments but I think all of these 3 are way better singers but that is just my opinion.
