I cant listen to this song without balling my eyes out. The history behind it and the way Shaun Davey composed it. its almost too powerful for my ears to bear.
One year ago my last grandma past away. As a true Irishman I drank. For all my grandparents I raise my glass. And just know that I miss you all so damn much. For Nana, Papa Ted, Papa Bob, and Patsy Gram.
i caught this movie by accident in a hotel in Barcelona of all places, and just fell in love with the Irish atmosphere. Throughout the entire movie the music is beautiful
@TubinBM Seems like everyone is feeling some sort of connection to what you wrote about your father. I'm sorry for your loss. My family and I played this song and took a drink for my uncle when he passed away a few years ago. It's a touching song. I'd be honored to have it played at my funeral. Don't worry, you and your Dad will meet up again.
@TubinBM that touched my heart.... your dad seemed like a lovely person and he's in an amazing place called heavan now <3 and im sure he's glad the last thing he heard was you singing this song to him so meanfully... may your father rest in peace <3
@davidrail68 hey no critisism mate my gaelic is a little rusty...haha but isnt it more we brought it against the tide? if im am wrong please correct me.
@davidrail68 Good job Thank You. I'm 53 years old and live in Boston and never heard this before Ned Devine. How could I have missed this song? I can't stop playing it.
I've sung this tune a hundred times at the end of a Faire day, but this time when I listened, all I could think of was my beloved's good friend and fellow US Army cavalry scout Blake Atherton. Atherton, we miss you every day, and your stories will be told for as long as we live (whether you'd like it or not!). You would have been 30 years old, this summer. We who are still in Midgard raise our parting glass to you in Odin's corpse-hall, and may we join you there when our last battle is fought.
My cousin past away in 2009 he had two children he was 39, my aunt died last year at 70 cancer took them both, two people too young. two people i loved with my whole heart. I hear this song and remember them. To Julian and Aunty Val.. You will always be remembered and always loved
I've had this friend throughout Elementary School and up to High School Graduation. His name is Gary Keller. He's kind, selfless, and brave (even though he was scrawny and anyone could beat him up) greeting anyone no matter how mean with a grin. He's a very good friend to all of our grad class. He's had cancer since sophomore year and he died today. I'm going to his funeral tomorrow and I hope to God that he's up there re-watching the Classic seasons of Power Rangers. Him and Power Rangers
So much traditional Celtic music has a lot of sadness in it...I wonder if this has something to do with the tragic history of the Celts, especially in Ireland.
Yet they are still here, and millions of people all over the world can proudly claim Celtic ancestry, myself included.
So much traditional Celtic music has a lot of sadness in it...I wonder if this has something to do with the tragic history of the Celts, especially in Ireland.
this song make me think of a bunch of lesbians coming together at the end of a movie to morn the passing of a loved one who dies in a gun with the surg nazis from Surf Nazis must Die
@psadpoiafsdf Obviously you have no class. You have every right to express your opinion but please let us know how you ever climbed out of the slime pit you live in to post this remark.
Easy now boyo....bad karma is repaid with bad karma.....never mind the bumps in the road....keep yer eye on the fair maidens....the sassy lassies....and the setting sun into which you sail.......all the rest is simply dust in the wind of Life......bless yer soul laddie!!!!
@psadpoiafsdf / have you not realized that your moronic comment is the only negative one?????should be ashamed of yourself to belittle such a beautiful song/ but what can be expected from a bigoted yankee moron!!
I have music back to 1900 and I must admit of all the music in my collection this is the best recording in my collection. Tonight my wife and I agreed that this will be played at the end of our funerals. Goodnight and joy be with you all!
My Dad passed away wednesday morning. It was just me and him, He was at the end after a long illness. This was the last song he heard. I sang it to him along with it playing in the background. I have always loved this song and now it will be forever be our song, So to my dad I lift a parting glass and wish him well on his journey. He was a good man in a small town. I doubt if ever I will meet such a man again. Love you Dad!!
@TubinBM What beautiful tune to carry your father away with. I lost my dad a few years back and filled his funeral ceremony with songs that meant a great deal to him. It felt the best way to honor him and say farewell. I wish you all the best and many happy memories of your dad to come.
@TubinBM : Your description is so simple and so perfect...what a way to send a loved one down the long farewell...a song that rings with joy and love. Hopefully I'll have years yet with my Dad...but I hope, when the time comes, that I'll be able to sing him to his rest. I do know that he -will- be piped into the ground -- with this tune, and a full pipes-and-drums band, if I can manage it -- and if not, then I will play him this march on our family's WWI pipes, myself.
@TubinBM So very sorry to hear of your father's passing and the sad, but sweet, story you shared about it. ♥ You did a wonderful thing, singing this song to him to the end. He heard every bit of it and I'm sure he cherished it, and you. Stay strong and take care. I just lost my mother on the 6th and I feel your pain. {{{hugs}}}
@TubinBM Sorry for your loss man, I've lost both parents, a brother etc, hard to listen to this song, it brings me back Eire and the fireside with them
@TubinBM I saw this film with my dad in a cinima when I was 8, I remember cos my mum and brother went to some classical thing and we did this instead. I remember my dad enjoyed it so much (which is rare for him) and we always watch it together, he always trys to say the irishy bit at the start, lol. Anyway I love this song so much, I think maby because it makes me think of my dad. bless you all what a wonderfull song!!!
@BrennaG03 i literally said the same thing to my father. But once it played it was one of the best memories i have of us together.. Yes, together, in spirit and in euphoria.
@TubinBM Usually I sort of scoff at people's anecdotal comments on youtube, but reading about your dad passing as the pipes played in the beginning... it brought a tear to my eye, and that doesn't happen often. I'm so sorry for your loss, but thanks for giving this song much deeper meaning for me
@davereilly1992 Love the memoriam you paid to your Dad. Most of us have loved our parents profoundly regardless of all their shortcomings. Who amongst us don't have those? Time heals all wounds whether great or small. Forgiveness is a gift we bestow upon ourselves. I miss mine and think of them every day.
Its hard for me to admit, but this sound track is the Only ST than O Brother Where Art Thou. And th Movie... ah the Movie. This is some of the Most beautiful tears you will ever cry. I am Blessed to have watched this Movie and Own this sound track. These's like 7 languages spoken and sung. Lux externa. We all need a Ned Devine in our Lives
my grandmother passed away this week. She was an Irish girl and when I listened to this song again.... I cried. I needed to. This song is going in the tribute video we are making for her wake.... Thanks for posting it.
Tonight I will raise that parting glass for all of those who I can no longer hold and see, my old friends and family. To me they will always be forever young. Merry Christmas. 12/24/2010.........
This is the version that first got me interested in the song, but the High Kings version (vid is probably on the right hand margin >>>>>>) is the one that moves me the most.
@brizcbd You're an Arse. The GI's fighting is the reason you are a free man in a democracy today. Even if it is a socialist republic where you cant get a job. Unless you immigrate to America that is. Not that we should have you.
I never served, but my son graduated West Point in 2006. He served in Iraq twice and lost a close friend in whose wedding he had been a groomsman. He's more Irish than the Irish, and when I saw his grandfather's tribe in the movie, then heard the song for the first time, I broke down like a child. I've studied Synge, Yeats, Blake, and Shakespeare, but nothing got to me like this eulogy.
Still one of my favorite versions of the song. I know of two melodies to which "The Parting Glass" is sung, both of them decidedly melancholy, yet this one just soars.
I a young lad that has never had to endure or encounter any hard trial in my life. Experienced a pain of something that is hard to bare this day. And that is the passing of my mama. I shed tears that could have flown rivers. And I sang this song the best I could for her before she drew her last. I miss her dearly as I write this. But I know as I'm sitting here she is sitting in the heavens above with all my other relatives with a glass in her hand. So I say this mama you shall never be forgotten
As you heard in this song, you 'll see them all again... hopefully later than sooner... Be strong and live the lifes they couldn't! My prayers are with you!
Raising a glass to George tonight, one year gone. Bless ye, laddy. Thanks for this, Brother Walt.

my grandmother passed away this week. She was an Irish girl and when I listened to this song again.... I cried. I needed to. This song is going in the tribute video we are making for her wake.... Thanks for posting it.

Tonight I will raise that parting glass for all of those who I can no longer hold and see, my old friends and family. To me they will always be forever young. Merry Christmas. 12/24/2010.........

This is the version that first got me interested in the song, but the High Kings version (vid is probably on the right hand margin >>>>>>) is the one that moves me the most.

Can Americans ever get over themselves? Guess what? We dont care you served in Iraq. Go get a real job.

@brizcbd You're an Arse. The GI's fighting is the reason you are a free man in a democracy today. Even if it is a socialist republic where you cant get a job. Unless you immigrate to America that is. Not that we should have you.

@runlikehll Your name is appropriate. You sound like the coward that you are. Go fuck yourself. I'm sure nobody else will do it.

I never served, but my son graduated West Point in 2006. He served in Iraq twice and lost a close friend in whose wedding he had been a groomsman. He's more Irish than the Irish, and when I saw his grandfather's tribe in the movie, then heard the song for the first time, I broke down like a child. I've studied Synge, Yeats, Blake, and Shakespeare, but nothing got to me like this eulogy.

Still one of my favorite versions of the song. I know of two melodies to which "The Parting Glass" is sung, both of them decidedly melancholy, yet this one just soars.

I a young lad that has never had to endure or encounter any hard trial in my life. Experienced a pain of something that is hard to bare this day. And that is the passing of my mama. I shed tears that could have flown rivers. And I sang this song the best I could for her before she drew her last. I miss her dearly as I write this. But I know as I'm sitting here she is sitting in the heavens above with all my other relatives with a glass in her hand. So I say this mama you shall never be forgotten

@FallaciousGee Just because you're trained to kill, doesn't mean you can't shed a tear. :)
