The Isle Of Innisfree

[aleksred77]

The music of this song reminds greatly of the infamous Nazi marching anthem called Horst Wessel Lied,which was the most popular tune in the Third Reich and is still a great hit with the Nazis today.Weird coincidence or is there a connection here?

[DrKorn5]

@aleksred77 Really? It doesnt sound anything like the Horst Wessel Lied and no coincidence at all...

[clarebannerman]

Missing verse "And then into a humble shack I wander, My own sweet home & tenderly behold. The folks around the turf gathered, On bended knees, their rosary is told."

[beagvictualler49]

This song was a favourite of my dear departed old golfing partner Tom who could sing it when he got a halfone or two into him, and sing it as well as anybody... happy memories... and God rest his soul he and his good wife May... many a good night I shared with them both... sadly missed.

I'ii arise and go now....

[makecowsnotwar]

I looked this up because it was mentioned in anatomy of a murder. huh.

[crimsondeath84]

I love Orla Fallon's version of this song. really puts me in a trance whenever i hear it. its good to hear a different version of this song. love it regardless

[Cuchulainn131]

Great old song. I was not aware that Bing Crosby did a cover of this until I read about it in one of the comments. Definitely worthwhile to check that version out.

[sleepytimegalz]

oops!! also the bass line is awesome!! ok no more from me. hahaha phyllis.....

[sleepytimegalz]

I forgot to say that I love the chording on this version. It's not a straight but a very detailed harmony and I love it!! These guys are very good and do this very well...Phylllis...

[sleepytimegalz]

[mwakortskallo]

How can anyone dislike this? I come here quite often to listen to this song, even if I have it on a cd. Love it!

[josparkes1]

Love it !

[HannahGrahamOfficial]

Listen to music by Celtic Thunder (TheThunderTube) This sounds like it could be sung really well by George...although he's the only Scot in the group!

[windswept2289]

"The Quiet Man" best Movie ever-How beautiful-Ireland-their land and their music-and the cast of the Movie-dosen`t get any better than that !!!!!

[wolftones58]

This song is going to be played at my mums funeral ot the 16th July 2010. She was born near The Isle of Innisfree and always talked the place. I've been lucky to visit it years ago so looking forward to see it again hopefully next year.

Thank you UndercoverCracker for "The Isle of Innisfree" I have lost count of how many times I have watched "The Quiet Man" enjoy all the Music.

[windswept2289]

I have loved this song since I first heard it in the Movie,"The Quiet Man" I also love it by Daniel ODonnell-nobody does it better than Daniel !!

[UndercoverCracker]

Except Orla fallon!!

[mush1955]

Why is it that every time I hear Irish or Scottish music I get home sick........I'm a Taffy living in Denmark for Christ sake ....... must be the Celtic  DNA in me.

Long live the Celtic nations and people.......no body do's it better !

[carolc48105]

What's a Taffy?

[mush1955]

@carolc48105 A Welshman.

[oconlan003]

this would have to be one of the best irish songs ever sung magically by the dub city ramblers tanx catalpa

[xxbecstt]

My mother was called Inis,my grandfather gave her this name as a shortened version of Innishfree.

[trinity729]

Beautiful version of a beautiful song. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. I've tried to listen to it over and over again to desensitize myself. I end up crying A LOT. The accompanying photos are lovely as well!

[panzer6969]

Can we please not enjoy this old and wonderful song and leave out politics........

Music brings everyone together.................

[majorMcpharter]

Let us all help to speed the day when this wonderful earth and its rich resources are held in common for the benefit of all humanity.

[nortybutniceone]

Yes indeed Major McPharter.Workers of all lands unite.

[mush1955]

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Fantastic song.Fantastic country.Fantastic people

[makeoverprincess]

i really like this song i'm singing it in my school play-i love Ireland-ABBEYSIDE ABU!

[Schnappi1936]

I just like good music ,and this grabs me,but after all Im just a descendent of convicts

[b1mxpk28]

robert3668 talks through his wrong hole; I'm a protestant who lived for 20 years in The Republic of Ireland and I never encountered any problems,in fact made many dear friends.If you take the Brits and the likes of Ian Paisley and toss them into the Irish Sea ALL of Ireland would be at peace.There is no place more peaceful than The Irish Republic so go home British terrorists. Regards from Bosco in Canada.

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

I agree.People should be able to live side by side.The Brits should never have been there and it should be one country.

[jaalmorrell]

you loved it so much you now live in canada? grow up.

[star1969xxx]

ireland wat a place wat a country .xxx

[star1969xxx]

well z rapier1954

[orlafallonfan]

beautiful

[robert3668]

dont no what you r talking about b1mxpk28 it would never be at peace with people like gerry adams and co living a ho

[rapier1954]

don´t be stupid robert3668 if the English had never invaded Ireland there would be no IRA or any of the Protestant terrorist organizations too.

[SPARK1888]

YOUR TALKING BALLS DID YOU LIVE HERE

[rapier1954]

Not anymore

[b1mxpk28]

When God made Ireland,the Isle of Innisfree,He took his time,and He got it perfect -Well,would have been a lot more perfect,had He not placed It so close to the English! Ireland without the English would be united and at peace.

God Bless:Bosco in Canada

[compoundsweetheart]

Having lived in Belfast all of my life I know how glibly my fellow countrymen use the name of God. If we all followed His example and asked Him to save us from our sinful ways this country, and world, would be a much better place.

[clarebannerman]

From the film "The Quiet Man" ---- nostalgic,haunting,and beautiful. I try to sing it after a few pints---"and soon I'm back to stern reality."

[Frauenheld1]

Wunderschöne Melodie,zum einen leicht hörbar, zum anderen toll aufgeführt...Very good stuff! Best regards from Germany

[StollyDolly]

Making me cry and homesick. Thank you. A great version (apart from mine lol) xx

[Fightingirish1428]

ive been in that little blue boat lol

[macker33]

best version by far

[kfitzerp]

Patsy and inishfree are the greatest

[1916supermc]

beautiful

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

This is one of the most haunting and lovely songs about a fantastic country and nation.Erin Go Bragh.United Ireland just around the corner.

[incaalpaca]

my personal anthem is beautifully depicted with the great photos. Always loved this and thank you so much for posting it. When one is far away across the miles of oceans in a distant land this music shortens the distance and once again I am home in Ireland.

[fenianbrigade]

what can i say brilliant. i listen to this while in english prisons.

[songpidgeon]

aw! beautiful version!

xxSarah

[negba]

Patsy at his best!

[samdon815]

I am Italian but I once played Mandolin in an Irish band. When we played this there was not a dry eye in the place.

[cargirlit]

Let's not forget that the Lake Isle of Innisfree is also an important poem written by W.B. Yeats :)

[MMMerangue]

Odd, this song makes me wish so much that I were home... in Scotland! ;)

love the song, this is a great simple version! nice photos too my family visited the area last summer (my brothers a fiddler and we spent a lot of time in local sessions and visiting folky places) it is a truly beautiful part of the world!

[Frauenheld1]

One of the best Irish songs I have ever heard. Very beautiful looks also the landscape. Long live Ireland and all its fascinating lore.

[bullirish]

Thank you!

[kevvy1908]

I've seen The Dublin City Ramblers several times live. They have a beautiful sound, and Patsy's interpretation of these Irish ballads is just right to me. He has a very strong, earthy, unforced voice, with enough of an Irish accent to make it perfect. If you listen to him singing "Slievenamon", or "Flight of Earls" you may understand my comments. We need more of these videos please.

[negba]

I agree! Patsy is the best.

[verybigbeauty]

good

[seebeeblue]

sorry orla is better

[sadikibrew]

Great group great song remember them after hours in the Chinaman Dublin 20 years ago, Now in Nova Scotia and missing the sessions

[KellyLCrutcher]

I'm American, but this is one of my favorite Irish songs. Where did you get the pictures for this? They're absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting the video! :)

[negba]

I agree!

[catalpa]

I may go there some day , it's only down the road in Sligo .

[beak2heidi]

Thanks catalpa. I really enjoy this group and appreciate that you are getting more on line. Have a great day!

[InnocenceExperience]

@catalpa have ya been there yet? great song

[JMD0429]

@catalpa

Are you going to report back to us?

[machree01]

the scenery is lovely, i've got that cassette somewhere in the attic, Well Done, Dardo.
