I had the pleasure of seeing the Fureys, in the Kelvin Hall, in Glasgow, 1984, with my Mum .. and Matty, my daughter's Dad .. both long gone now ... 💚☘💚 I will love you .. i will love you .. when we are gone 💚☘ 💚
I left Ireland in the late 90s not long after my Dad passed,I’ve never returned too much hurt and pain for me there,I’ve listened to this amazing song a million times, before i shuffle off from this mortal place,I’ll listen to it a million more MORE MAJORUM
I am Scottish and my Dad has now passed and I miss him so much.He played this beautiful tune when no one else did.What an absolutely gorgeous song🙏🏴❤️
So if you point out you have Irish parents I take it you where brought up somewhere else?..as you would of classed yourself Irish and not stated your parents where🙄
@@lucyberry9087 I was born in Oxford, but both my Parents are Irish. Me Da was a Limerick Man and Me Ma from Connemara (knock). I am Irish 💯% and have chosen an Irish Passport. Oxford my Birth place is Beautiful But Ireland especially Connemara is my Home and inheritance. 😉🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
My parents grew up in Fermanagh and my Dad played the Fureys so i know all these and it brings back happy memories of trips over to Ireland to see family and grandparents.
This song was played at my dads and now step mum's wedding the other day. It was played when they were on the dance floor slow dancing as the entire party and even the workers sat there staring at them in awe. The entire song they would not look away from each others eyes, and it was that moment i realised they would be together until death. It was the most moving part of the entire day and i wish them both a happy marriage
To be able to describe a love like that is a true gift and grief the price we pay. I'm sorry for your loss but also intensely jealous ! Best wishes to you.
It's 2021 and this is still one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. Reading the comments here makes me so thankful for everyone I've ever known.
I’ve seen and heard these guys just melts my heart when I hear them many beers sunk listening to the fureys and many more Irish bands in my home and everyone was welcome and went home happy
It's early January 2022 & I'm sitting reading letters my mum wrote to my dad at various times and years after they broke up when I was a teen. Dad mentioned this song in his letters and I'm listening and a bit teary now. They REALLY loved each other, they'd just got lost and hurt each each other as they married so young. As the song says "when we're gone..." and now they're together in heaven.
I always dreamed of love like that....like my nan and pop, mom and dad, etc. Seems like the days of forever are gone. Good to see it works out for some!
I hang my head and cry for every second we have been so robbed of your presence Kie, we will always love you, can’t wait until I hear your footsteps....xxxx
😢😢😢wow my ma used to sing sweet 16 to me all the time for as long as i can remember along with kevin barry but she loved the furrys 😢i was a mummies bhoy to the core nd iv not heard this for many many years nd since i lost my big bro a day before my 21st then my mum about 2 nd a half years later life's been very very difficult every single day i always remember them and can never forget and makes me full of very confusing games in the head why life can be so cruel to all the wrong people nd yet the life nonsense doesn't ever stop for me as a reward for fighting through they horrible times im now 43 nxt month ffs soz for this rant but this brought it all back to as long as i can remember rip paul nd mum il always love you and will never forget our life together and what we were as a family side by side no matter what 😢😢😢💚💚💚x
@kaharoa9807 WTF? This song was written by an American folk singer, Tom Paxton, a contemporary of Pete Seeger, and who had fuck all to do with Ireland.
I love the song , the singer ,the instruments . I'm an Englishman and my love of Irish music and song is ingrained in me . I suppose that the chance of an Englishman becoming an honorary Irishman is akin to a rich man passing through the eye of a needle. One can only live in hope .Thanks for the beauty of the words and music .
Had many visits to Dublin, Cork & Belfast & been taken to many towns & villages in the North & the South & have met only friendliness. Of course I've been guided by Irish friends & warned maybe not best to go to this pub etc but have always loved going, had probably my best New Year Eve ever in Schull. This Englishman feels very at home there. Saw the Fureys in the Hammersmith (London)Irish club many years ago, fantastic performance, fantastic atmosphere.
My neighbour Danny form Ireland played me this song. I had never heard anything like it before. always think of Danny when I hear this. God Bless You wherever you are my dear gentle friend.
This song brings to mind the love of my life...I lost him 32 yrs ago and he found me again in 2019. He had never forgotten me through all those years and this song touches my heart deeply and makes me cry for the 32 years we were parted. 💚
Me too. It is the essence of my soul. I live in Australia, born in Ireland and brought up on this and sing songs around the table It's gone now and it's devastating 🙏
my dad used to sing this to my mum i would hear him singing it all the time but they divorced 3 years ago and i just burst out in tears everyone i hear this song
Angelena Kearney my grandad just passed away this morning haven't heard this song in a long time before now.. life is beautiful but a tainted beautiful
Every mother is unique and can never be replaced. A mother's love is unconditional and all forgiving. I don't think we all fully appreciate our mothers until they are gone.
Only appreciating the Fureys now. I'm 28 so missed out on their music. So much better than anything newly released. Dance music does not cut it anymore for me
One of my all time favourites by Finbar and crew.i´ve sang this song to my grandmother(may God keep her),and i will do the same for her daughter(my mum) when the time comes.
Congratulations! It is a lot of noise at first, I'm told. But over time, you should adjust well. Music is a way for you to practice listening without an audience watching you...LOL Good luck and all the best!!
Fantastic Kizzy!, what a song to hear for yourself. I always dedicate this song to my wife every wedding anniversary. God bless you and I hope you hear so much more xx
I Listened to these guys as a kid and couldn't really appreciate what the music represented or what the moral was because of being so young, but loving the music was good enough back then, when i got a little older i could fully appreciate every lyric, the fureys are legends are monumental in Irish music and culture and have been blessed to have had the chance to experience there art.
So many memories here, old and new, I thank my Nanna for all of this, educating me in Song and Irish History. These guys are part of Ireland's wonderful History n Music, song. Love this so so much.
Of course I know the Fureys are wonderful music makers, but as this song is fairly new to me, and as I still miss my gal Irene this song really hits home. Who ever wrote it either had an amazing imagination, or also lost some dear to them. Thanks Fureys you filled my eyes with tears. Ken Stock Bournemouth UK.
BEAUTIFUL music dosent have to fit your circumstances...but our minds are attracted to beautiful music, suggest you hear it a bit more, hope all goes well ....its 2021 now did you get back ?
I have been commenting on here for years about how much this song means to me regarding my love for my wife Sarita, we will reach the big 40 years married on Friday November 13th and this song still sums up my feelings for her and always will.
How wonderful to hear you say this. Your wife and you must be in love so much. I had this song played at my adorable husband Ken's funeral who passed away on 23rd November 2020. I miss him so much and my heart is sore without him as we were so in love. Even when he'd go out shopping or anything else he used ring me up and sing a love song to me as he was setting out to come home. Each day we fell more and more in love. I'm truly blessed at having Ken in my life. I'll remember a prayer for you 2 beautiful people on your 40th Anniversary👌💖🙏
