[shopnobama2012]

@DecencyPOLICE White world or NWO....? 

[DecencyPOLICE]

@shopnobama2012 what? is that a question? and what has it to do with O Sullivans March'''

[envecchosen]

what is it about this music that moves me so I feel a inner calling to return to Ireland and revisit my roots

[settone03]

the ONLY 2 people in all of the world without a shred of Irish in them gave thumbs down. poor sob's

[mad4ponies68]

I loved the music and the views of Ireland. Makes me want to go and see the homeland of my ancestors even more. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Broadsidejohn]

What a fantastic rendition. On their "album liner notes" the Chieftains produced this to sound like a pipe band leading the clan in their march, and at they end the volume tails off. Thanks for the posting!

[DallasGuy1968]

Proud to be Irish!

[Kelticgirl1]

@DallasGuy1968 - Couldn't have said it better!

The first time I heard this song was driving around the beautiful Dingle Peninsula. It was Easter 2007, a fine soft Irish day, with clouds and an interval mist. This song came on just as we were rounding the bend where the Blaskets come into view. The sun came shining just a wee bit through the clouds and there was a rainbow hanging in the mist above them. Let's just say I never wanted to leave :)

[ervaysantiago]

@soccerchamp0511 Every now and then God smiles on us and gives us that special moment in time. Read Maurice O'Sullivan's "20 years a growing" Plenty of O'Sullivans in that area. Merry Xmas! Jim O'Sullivan

Good music, and beautiful land Ireland :D

[22grena]

@DioHalford91 Greeting Brothers and Sisters

[Hawthornification]

clearly its not O'Sullivans playing this haha, we are far too busy drinking to be able to play any musical instruments.

[misanthrope4life]

@Hawthornification True to that, me being a O'Sullivan I can vouch for that statement. LOL

[deluxant]

Latin, Celtic, German, Greek all european people united against NWO.

@deluxant Proin a mauris

[3Slim3Shady3]

@deluxant oh piss off, stop ruining good music with ur shit

[simnebrael]

@deluxant Please send me a link, I found so many :-)

[mataimr]

@deluxant What does NWO mean? Thanks :)

[manga12]

usually New World Order is what it means, though be the truth its really the rich that play grand games with contrys, many world leaders go to school together at the ivy league schools stateside, so they all have a like minded thought and like many of the same types of hobbys. but really I think the chinese are more of a threat, they bide their time, but dont get me wrong I like chinese people and their history its just their government I dont trust. This is a pretty song though.

[Great89100]

@mataimr New world order, actually don't know why that comment is there

[TheBlumenhof]

@deluxant You are right.

[mimikay78]

Beautiful!

[22grena]

The march passed close by my fathers, uncles and aunts farms. They say people dropped out of the march along the way and settled there. I wonder if I am descended from some on that march. I hope so. O'Sullivan abu.

[dk410]

I love Ullieann pipes! that and the bah'ran drums and the tin whistle are perfect match!

[swampdodger33]

the pipes are calling

[newfful]

The video is just as amazing as the music.

[Irishman22100]

I'm proud to be an o'sullivan

[GEdwin4]

There was a different version that they used for Rob Roy

[ginnoveffect]

@GEdwin4 i feel like on the soundtrack cd, they used a different version, but in the movie itself it sounds exactly like the version in this video.

[SirBrushus]

This version of this song was in Rob Roy I believe.

[ohevshalomel]

@SirBrushus Not sure about "Rob Roy", but it was in "Barry Lyndon".

[ohevshalomel]

@SirBrushus Not sure about "Rob Roy", but it was in "Barry Lyndon".

[robsargent4]

Somehow or other I recognise this, but I'm not sure where I've heard it. Interesting tune anyway.

[ohevshalomel]

I love the sound of the bodhran.

[DecencyPOLICE]

@ohevshalomel me too hard to describe the tone but as far as I know the name of the instrument it means or refers to Dullness or slack as the soung I like most drums except the millitary tight skinned sound

[ohevshalomel]

@DecencyPOLICE I didn't know what it meant. Thank you.

[EwAsBM]

Good ol song for the irish!

[dachickenpete]

nice to hear a song about your family name, i saw on another post this is a song they want played when they die, I will add it on to my wish list, but the Parting Glass will always also be on my request list.

[bullyboy1863]

My global history teacher's last name from last year was Sullivan. I can see him now walking into his room while this plays lol.

[mkypta]

...yep..yep..yeaaah...a wonderful uillean pipe, bodhran, fidle, flute, harpe...a wonderful Chieftains...:-)

[Mahaim13]

when I die, I want people who attend my funeral to listen to the tune I lived for

[LilaBanshee]

Every time I travel around and I'm happy, this tune is on my ears. :)

[blackpryncezz]

COOL!!
