John McDermott was at my uncle's funeral and sung this in the church. It will always have special meaning to me.

@heliostellar

This a sad but beautiful memory... but I think it's a good thing when we link to a song some special (joyful or sad) moment of your life.

Thanks for commenting!

[04jambo1956]

Although an Irish song I love it, especially when sung so well....we are after all C(k)eltic brothers......and there is also a strong connection between Scotland and Italy as well......!! Am really enjoying your uploads Paola!!!!

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@04jambo1956

There is more than you could guess! :) I live in North Italy, near Turin, and Celts people lived here long ago! On Wikipedia there's a page about Chieri (from the Celtic "Kari"), my hometown, but it's only in Italian language :(

Anyway, if you would like to take a virtual walk in Chieri, look for my video titled "Karrea" :)

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting this video, I'm happy you enjoyed it!!!

Over the past several weeks I have been listening to many, many versions of this song, from choirs to Elvis to Celtic Woman, and this is, by far, the best I have heard. Rich and pure, not pretentious or forced, exactly the way I imagine it should be sung. Absolutely beautiful.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@Demonde25

I'm really happy you enjoyed this version so much, so thanks you for watching and commenting on my video!!! :-)

[gronker4]

@Demonde25

You have said it so well: "not pretetious or forced. " McDermott's dynamics are perfect. Forceful and emphatic as

required, but oh so tender on the high notes. Yes, "absolutely beautiful. " I am now 80 years old, but sang

Danny Boy as a solo when I was still a soprano choir boy .

It has always been one of my favourites.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@gronker4

Thanks very very much also for your comment here!!!

[wilde4445]

@Demonde25 I'm crying- thank you

[boneymaroni28]

The first man I ever loved

I have seen strength like an oak in a storm

I have felt gentleness like a golden summer dawn

I have heard laughter like a splashing waterfall

I have felt protection like a shelter all around

All from a life that gave me life

All from my Father's Love

I miss you Papa xo

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@boneymaroni28

Thank for sharing these words... I've lost my Dad when I was very young, so I can feel your words as mine too.

But thanks also for watching my video! :) God Bless You!

[wilde4445]

@boneymaroni28 Thank you so much for your poem- I have put it in my "favorites" and shall enter it into my Jounals about our family ( with you name of course) I felt safe with my pop there- miss the feeling. God Bless and Keep you. Mary wilde4445

Thank you for replying LadyGreyCarolyn. You may like some of the songs on my list of favourites on my website. I started with my top 30 but am heading towards my top 100 songs because I keep remembering others that I really like. All the best. And thanks again. Stan Pinnegar

[MrGrandad4]

Wonderful song and a wonderfully rich-voiced singer. I like Jim Reeves singing Danny Boy as well, but oh my goodness, Jim Reeves leaves out a whole, beautiful verse. Thank you so much.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@MrGrandad4

Thanks you for watching and leaving your comment on my video! :-) I'm happy you liked this version!!!

[jackford1918]

Never ceases to amaze one, whatever John sings close your eyes and you find yourself within the song.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@jackford1918

I think so too: he has a breath-taking way to perform these songs!

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!!! :)

@jackford1918

Thanks very much for your beautiful comment! :-) I'm happy you enjoyed the video!

[truckereleven]

Only when I became a father of two boys and those boys had grown to men, have I come to really cherish this song. One of the most precious songs ever written and recorded ever.

"...and i shall sleep in peace until you come to me."

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@truckereleven

Thanks very much for sharing your feelings - and for watching my video!

God Bless you and your family!!!! ^_^

eccezionali foto che accompagnano una musica emozionante!

ciao

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@stelladoriente1

Grazie, sei molto gentile!

E' molto bello fotografare le nuvole, la loro varietà è davvero infinita. :)

[baycast]

Wonderful rendition of this wonderful song. I always loved to hear Jim Reeves singing this but John has an edge on him i think. It must be the Scottish/Irish connection. There is a beautiful lilt to his voice. Thank you so much for sharing this.as an expat did find it difficult to find such treasures until i found YouTube.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@baycast

Thanks to you very much for all your comments (here and on the other videos)! ^_^

I'm happy you could found on my channel the music you like!!!

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@lggriffin

Thanks very much for sharing your Dad's life, I was moving by your words...

[lggriffin]

@LadyGreyCarolyn Thank you, my dear, I am likewise moved every time I hear this song. It puts a lump in my throat, and tears in my eyes...as I think of him. Thank you so much for posting!

[heliostellar]

@lggriffin I'm impressed by your father by your description and never met him. Clearly his memory is alive and well in you. Be in peace...

[lggriffin]

@heliostellar It sure is! Thank you much...and God Bless you!

[Urineculture]

If I can find a typical "bad version", I will send you the address.

FYI, I live in Buffalo, NY and John has drove down the Q.E.W (about an hour drive) and done informal concerts here.

[Urineculture]

Perhaps the definitive interpretation of this classic. John has an ability to interpret music. This song should be sung in a "laid-back" way, see the work's origins. Other tenors BLAST it at you - with a full orchestra. John's distinctive voice is always, clear, resonant - he doesn't need to enhance it with increased volume and a large backup band. I have heard him sing this song acapella, but I can't remember where. (I don't know of any other vocalist who would even THINK of trying that).

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@Urineculture

Thanks so much for your detailed info about the song and the way it should be performed... I don't really know other versions, I posted this one because I like John's songs so I'm trying to post all what I can of his music, but indeed he has an amazing voice, and he makes even more beautiful all the songs he sings! :)

[goerizal]

@Urineculture: in his cd titled 'battlefields of green' danny boy a capella

[savantleo]

Aye , John does much credit to this song...

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@savantleo

Thanks a lot to you also for watching my video and for leaving your comment! ^_^ I'm happy you enjoyed it!!!

[1tepenga]

There are no words to express the emotion this has stirred in me. I have been listening to some of John's songs on youtube this morning. This and "My Old Man" have brought tears to my eyes. John has a magnificent voice. God bless him.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@1tepenga

Thanks very much for watching my video and commenting on it! :))) Yes, he has a very beautiful and emotional voice, I like a lot the way he performs the songs... and God bless you too!

[frabu29]

Lovely version, however today I heard a version from him " a capella " ( just lyrics_ no muzic) , Stunning, but can't find it

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@frabu29

I'll look for this version, if I find it I'll let you know. Thanks very much for watching my video!!! :)))

[goerizal]

i have the battlefield of green from where this was. it is a great loss for us that it taken out of circulation for some reasons. that was how i was exposed to mcdermott the first time. it has been a great pleasure since then. thank you so much.

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@goerizal

I'm glad you found out about John McDermott, he's a really good singer with a voice that raises emotions...

Thanks very much for your comment!!! :)

[classydressage]

John does it AGAIN.....has me in tears over a wonderful song!!!!

[LadyGreyCarolyn]

@classydressage

The way he sings is indeed wonderful... thanks very much for your comment! :)))
