My dad passed away last week and his funeral was today. He loved the pipes although he never really got to learn them. He loved celtic history and culture. Hearing this as we loaded his coffin away was…tough. “Going Home” will always hold a dear place in my heart. I love you dad.
He walks with you every day. I lost my father when I was 5. I am now 54. Not a day goes by I don’t look in the mirror and see his face. May the lord comfort you until you meet again
Just a week ago, this was played for the wake/memorial service of my Son, Harold H. Best lll. The piper was a friend of my Son and of our family, EJ Jones. We are so thankful that he was kind enough to play for this occasion, and we will never forget his kindness. May all the Gods smile on you.
my father passed away in January. This song was played as we brought his casket into the ceremony site at Fort Logan National Cemetery. I am a piper myself and I cried my eyes out that day. Miss you, dad. All my love.
I just laid my Irish Retired DC Firefighter father to rest three days ago. This song was played as he was brought to his final resting place. Sorry for your loss, brother.
Going home, going home I am going home Quiet like, some still day I am going home It's not far, just close by Through an open door Work all done, care laid by Never fear no more Mother's there expecting me Father's waiting too Lots of faces gathered there All the friends I knew I'm just going home No more fear, no more pain No more stumbling by the way No more longing for the day Going to run no more Morning star light the way Restless dreams all gone Shadows gone, break of day Real life has begun There's no break, there's no end Just living on Wide awake, with a smile Going on and on, going on and on Going home, going home I am going home Shadows gone, break of day Real life has begun I'm just going home
Played at my father's funeral. It was in a Catholic church, and the procession was about to begin, and the power went out right at that moment due to a storm. The bagpiper had to improvise, and began playing "Going Home." As a pallbearer, and as a son, it was haunting, and comforting all at the same time. I'll never forget it.
@@TingTingalingy I thanked him profusely afterward. I was afraid we'd be walking in silence, but he saved the day. Later he played a beautiful rendition of Battlehymn of the Republic at my prior request. The two songs have since been my favorite
My thoughts are with you and your family. My nan is going home on the 21st of May 2021. If anyone hasn't got goosebumps of the sound of this there is something wrong
My grandfather also made that trip home in 2020. He has a plaque that has our family's history because it meant a lot to my grandfather to always know and have that heritage to pass down. Our family was rich in Scotland, but familial infighting caused my ancestor to leave it all behind and he immigrated to the united states way back in the early days of the 19th century. There he married a local woman and took a job that was far beneath his station he was used to, but he was happier working for his american wife than he ever was in Scotland.
Every time I watch any bagpipe video, it always brings me to tears, and I'm no way afraid to admit that. Been Scottish myself it makes me immensely proud to watch this instrument be played not only correctly, but incredibly well. You are a very talented played
Thank you Scotland for all that you have done for England and the rest. Battle of Waterloo, Battle of New Orleans, WW1 and WW2 : not forgetting the engineers - scientists - surgeons and all who contributed so much to the wealth, knowledge, and greatness to Britain as a whole.
My uncle was the youngest sibling of my dad, and life's cruelties took him from us long before any of us were ready.. My dad played this song as he walked away from all of us, because he's the strongest man I've ever known. Rest well, Uncle.
My dad loved the bagpipes. He never learned to play them but I seem to remember him playing this song on a recorder. He passed away only a month ago. Just remembering some of his favorite songs...
This was played at my father’s funeral in northern Maine twenty-three years ago. When I heard it again I was back on that hillside as we put him into the ground. His grandfather, though American, was mostly Scottish in ancestry and my father was very close to him growing up. Dad spent much of his youth out on his grandparents farm and I assume he requested this be played at his burial to honor what was so dear to him.
On a tour of Ireland our guide said "The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scots, they just haven't figured out that it was a joke yet." Me, I like the pipes.
Beautiful and haunting at the same time. We played this at my brothers funeral after he had passed away on October 13th 2019 ..... I still haven’t stopped crying. He was a 48 year old father of two boys, was unexpected, even though he suffered immensely in the last 10 years. RIP my big brother and best friend ...... til we meet again soldier 💔 XO
Jacer445 U .... thank you for your kind words my friend. Yep, I think he is also. He was my brother and my best friend, I’m now a step-in father for his two sons as I always promised to him I would if necessary, I hope he’s proud!
This was played at a fellow flight paramedic’s funeral. He was the first that I personally knew that has perished on duty helping his fellow man. ‘Til Valhalla Brother!
My father was a high ranked soldier and when he goes from our family this is my Dedicated tune to a war hero it is so hontingly beautiful it has to be for him love you Dad
I'm not scottish but I served in the RAF and was posted to RAF Leuchars and any parade was led by the station pipe band ,being led by the pipes always made the marching easier and the music was always great .
@@1234saunds My uncle was US Army Air Corp stationed in UK during the war. He spoke some Polish and had a PT job at RAF Officers club. He served drinks to Polish fliers and officers and heard harrowing stories of what they just did over the Channel skies.
A fellow elder from our church went to be with the Lord today. Covid took him away from us... He was a giver and a good soul. Came to listen to this while bidding him farewell. You will be missed Elie
This fellow plays the Bagpipes to perfection never ever heard them played better even by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who are usually my favourite!🤗👌👍💂🥁🎼🎼🎼🎼🏴
My dads fellow pipe band members played him home in February. I cant hear scottish pipes with out crying 😢 this and amazing grace he went home with. Poor dad miss him to much xx
I played this on the pipes for a fallen soldier's funeral procession as it entered a large cathedral in central California. It echoed through the hall in a hauntingly beautiful way.
I' heard this when a Documentary about FDR' 's passing while in office aired in 1945, I will learn it as a tribute to My father , a WW2 Vet and for others that fought and died.
As I said when my father goes this is what I want unless he says better because he's a soldier of Ireland AND I am getting this playing unless he wants different I love him so much including my mother But I guess it's his wish for what he wants
My great-grandfather died in 1976, fought in WW1 with the ANZAC's, and every time I hear this makes me think of him!, Couldn't get anyone to play the pipes for his funeral locally and the American legion wouldn't help my grandma but thank God for the VFW they had a Piper from Indianapolis drive down and play at his funeral and did it for free!, Grandpa was born in Ireland but was living in Boston Mas when the war broke out him and his brother Harry joined the ANZAC'S and his brother Henry joined the Canadian Army and all 3 came home!, But this song wasn't played at his funeral but just makes me think about it.
I know its for soldiers but I had it played for my son who was only 24. Died from melanoma in his brain. He had a good portion of Irish (75%) so I am sure it was OK. Sad still.
I wouldn't worry about who the song was wrote for I'm ex-military and so is my whole family. I only hope that he knew Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. For then he truly will be going home!
@@williamsample2631 Thanks. I just told a pal who lost a child that faith in Christ is/was the only thing that got him and we through his dying. He died in God's grace. A funny thing about him. When he was 18 I took him to recruiters. Navy, Marines and Army Guard. He took Navy Seal test and did well. He never signed.
@@brentchalmers1436 It's from Dvorak's New World Symphony, which written when he was working in the United States. William Arms Fisher, who was one of Dvorak's students, published lyrics to the second movement of the symphony in 1922, and called the song _Going Home._ It's not a Scottish tune at all.
I played Going Home at my Dad’s funeral 9 years ago. It was a request of his years before his death over a few single malt whiskeys. I thought I’d have a hard time playing it, but as soon as I struck up and hit that first E note, I just played. Dad was never a piper himself, but he certainly enjoyed them.
For those lost on this day twenty years ago... I was a student on my way back to school when we got the news. It's been two decades now and it is still fresh in my mind. God bless the workers and first responders who answered the call that dark and terrible day. Never shall we forget🇺🇸
We played this at our Dads funeral December 2019. It was his one request. But didn't want Amazing Grace played. He was a volunteer firefighter for over 20 years and also a veteran
My dad was buried in Cameron kilts a piper rise near by played Amazing Grace. A violinist at my wife's celebration of Life played Ashoken Farwell The Way We were Those were the days
I can tell you Ethan the bagpipes sound like finger nails being scratched on a blackboard, and the tune he is playing is not original as some bagpipe fans seem to think, it was written by the classical composer Dvorak, so please leave room on this planet for people who don't agree with your musical tastes, it takes all sorts I guess i must be one of those Sassenachs John Atkinson talks about
Scotland the Brave piped for me Da's funeral. Had I known of Going Home? It would have played as well.( He spoke little of our roots.) But the Pipes? Oh yes. The PIPES; flow as the blood in our veins.....He WAS, the "old highland men" in the Anthem....I hear Pipes; and me Heart Leaps, my Soul overflows; I feel hame ag'n.....Thank You. For a Tribute Worthy of All.
Every time I hear the bagpipiers my heart beats very fast I don't know wats this feeling called , but I'm seriously not a music lover I don't even have one song in my playlist I heard this bagpipe music recently n I was mesmerized I could only feel my heart pumping fast .
This was played recently at my darling wife's funeral at the Cemetery, i cant believe shes gone, my sweetheart for forty years gone, i am lost and heartbroken!!!
Mi padre se fue el 14 de febrero del año 2023, No hubo funeral. Nadie nos avisó hasta dos dias despues que se habia ido, Su entonces pareja sentimental prohibió que se nos avisara,Fue cremado, asi que ni siquiera tengo un lugar a donde irlo a llorar, Solo tengo para recordarlo y guardarle luto el gemir de una gaita prestada. Para todos puede ser un dia para recordar el amor. Para mi desde hoy y desde siempre, es un dia para guardar duelo. Dejenme llorar desde hoy y cada día 14. .

Going home, going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Never fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knew
I'm just going home
No more fear, no more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more
Morning star light the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just living on
Wide awake, with a smile
Going on and on, going on and on
Going home, going home
I am going home
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun
I'm just going home
I am gonna play this at my moms grave she passed away june last yr(mom u finaly gone home)

I would like to find the 7 who disliked the video and ask them "Why"?
Ethan Robinson There's no sitting on the fence about bagpipes, they're either loved(by the Enlightened) or loathed (Sassenachs)
Those backward thinkers who has not like these fine videos? Probably can't confront life.
I can tell you Ethan the bagpipes sound like finger nails being scratched on a blackboard, and the tune he is playing is not original as some bagpipe fans seem to think, it was written by the classical composer Dvorak, so please leave room on this planet for people who don't agree with your musical tastes, it takes all sorts
I guess i must be one of those Sassenachs John Atkinson talks about
I Think He Does a Very Nice Job On This.
Probably because it's been misnamed.... This is Symphony number 9, not "going home"
Technically it's the 2nd movement of Dvorak's 9th symphony

Mi padre se fue el 14 de febrero del año 2023, No hubo funeral. Nadie nos avisó hasta dos dias despues que se habia ido, Su entonces pareja sentimental prohibió que se nos avisara,Fue cremado, asi que ni siquiera tengo un lugar a donde irlo a llorar, Solo tengo para recordarlo y guardarle luto el gemir de una gaita prestada. Para todos puede ser un dia para recordar el amor. Para mi desde hoy y desde siempre, es un dia para guardar duelo. Dejenme llorar desde hoy y cada día 14.

Hauntingly Beautiful
Love the sound of the pipes they vibrate within my my very soul😊
Going Home was played by the bagpiper at my korean War Vet Dad;s funeral. I will never forget it.
This was one of 2 songs that burned into my memory as Canadian Army pipers played during ramp ceremonys in Kandahar
Wonderfully done, my friend! You're an inspiration to me!!
God bless Scott land
