Phil Coulter - The Old Man

First of many taken off Phil's 'Live Experience DVD'. This was a concert performed in Limerick on the 20th August 1996.

Nothing needs to be said about the piece; as I'm sure your all familiar with the history of it.

I do apologise for the watermark, part way through, but I've had to re-build my laptop and lost all my video copying/editing software, so I'm reduced to using an unlicensed version *shush, don't tell anyone LOL*.

Enjoy GC88.

I first heard this song played at my fathers funeral. It broke my heart!

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@spillane444 I wished we'd had this played at my grandfather's funeral... Had to have it played at his wake instead...

It breaks my heart, yet fills me with pride at the memories of my grandfather, every time I listen to it (like right now as I reply to you!).

I lost my Dad one month ago and this song expresses exactly how I feel. It's beautiful and painful all at the same time.

[GlasgowCeltic88]

@dennis789111 'beautiful and painful'... You're so right. Adding his soft voice just makes it all the sadder.

Thank you.

Brilliant song, gives me such wonderful memories of my dad. Wish he was here now, but people say he is looking down on me. Phil Coulter is a legend

I love Phil Coulter. He has given us so much with his beautiful, inspirational music. I've been lucky enough to see him live in concert and what a gentleman he is.
