Absolutely lovely; the singer and the song. Thank you so much. God love John McDermott.

One comment about this lovely performance: When the "Irish Tenors" special was first broadcast, there was an absolutely gorgeous flute interlude between the two verses. The interlude was later cut from both the broadcast and the DVD. It can still be heard, however, in the live audio recording on CD. I should also mention that--to my bitter disappointment!--the song has never been published in any form (this from John's own manager). How I wish they would change that!

@GlamRockCowboy -Hi there! I think you received some incorrect info, because I have ALL of JM's CDs. The live audio track is available on a CD titled "the Irish Tenors" (1999). John also released a studio recording of this song on his CD titled "Love Is a Voyage" (1995 & 2000). You should still be able to find them on Amazon and a few independent sellers. If not, get back in touch and I will help you.

@GlamRockCowboy ..yes the flute solo was so nice. why was it deleted?

[GlamRockCowboy]

@bnesh26 I believe it was for time reasons, to make the final version of the original program more suitable from the standpoint of US broadcast industry standards. This is by no means the first time I have seen this sort of thing, I might add!

delighted to find John it's a long time since he appeared as the three tenors, I wondered what happened to him.So glad I can now tune in thanks for posting

[irishaguirre1]

My favorite! I have requested it for my funeral, when that time comes. It applies so well to my hubby & me.

[MrCSCash]

Beautiful song , wonderful words sung by a gentleman that has truly been blessed with a special gift.

[MrPTBowen]

John is probably one of the only true Irish tenors...the other operatic tenors are grat too, but this man is a true Irish tenor who has captured the hearts of so many people...Thank you John...It's good to see you again even though on the internet....

This man sings from the heart with a God given talent that he shares with the world. I could listen to his music 24 hours a day. What a voice, one of the all time great singers who is a true gentleman!

[kyleshelley17]

my husband put together a photo history of our 25 years together and used this song. The lyrics were perfect, not a dry eye at the party with only family and the original wedding party

[avp60685]

[myyellowrose]

What a voice! He has so much feeling in his songs

[ladyd1888]

This is a great song!!! John McDermott is a great singer.

[MimiCAR96srb]

He die????

[amcglas]

There is more than words to this mans singing. Heart and feeling. A wonderful man who puts life to words. If you ever have a chance to see him in person, don't pass up the opportunity!

[kanona84]

Mr. McDermott was just as wonderful in person as he is on any recording!

this song is  so amazing, it reminds me of my Nana who passed away several years ago, she was the rock of our family, and i miss her so.

[macs27]

This is a beatiful song

[Ardmacha2]

This Johnny duhan son has also been recorded by the followin Irish stars Christy Moore and Celtic Thunder and Tommy Fleming. Alldifferent but great interpretations of the song

[gaffpaul]

can someone tell me who wrote this song.

[macrosent]

The song was originally written by Johnny Duhan, this arrangement is by Bill Bridges and John McDermott.

[jcwwwing]

I've heard John Mcdermott sing,not only this song, but many more that others have done and he has no equal!

Great voice and phrasing of the lyrics. As though your listening tp a "story" and he does a wonderful job of doing that. Just great.

[wilmaohman]

i sent this to a friend who have been married for 36 years.they have 4 kids and 6 grandkids.since they both served in the navy this has a double meaning for them.

[Khighlander2]

I lost my Dad to Cancer a few months ago. This song was his & my mom's song. We played the Voyage at his funeral, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the church. Now when I'm missing him, I just play this video, and I feel a little closer to him. Thanks!

Hi Christine. You have our sincere sympathy over your loss. My wife and I both lost our fathers when we were young. McDermott has at least two other ballads that touch the hearts of those who have lost dear friends and family members - "One Small Star" and "The Old Man". If you haven't heard these before, I have them posted. Thanks for your comments. May the worst day of your future be better than the best day of your past.

[chromadj]

What a lovely, moving post. thanks for the great uploads, Christine, so sorry to hear about your father.x

[actyankee]

Beautiful version of a beautiful song.

[macrosent]

My wife and I both love the song as well. We just celebrated our 30th anniversary. Thanks for viewing and for your nice comments. Cheers!
