This song was played at my granddad's funeral 3 weeks ago. He was a fanatic bagpipe player himself, and 3 days before his death he even played another concert, not even thinking about his cancer. We will never forget you granddad! 💕
This song was also played at my grandfather funeral a week ago. He was no bagpipe player but loved being an Irishman. He too suffered from cancer. Such a great song.
Actually, The Parting Glass has been around in Ireland since at least the 17th century or even earlier. It was the traditional song to sing at the end of a gathering of family and friends before it was succeeded by Robert Burns' "Auld Lang Syne"...
My youngest son just passed. Only 38 years old. His funerals tomorrow. We're playing this after his funeral in the gymnasium. The church won't let us take shots during this song in the Sanctuary. That's understandable. Love You Corey💞❤️💞
This was my brother's parting song. Tears still fall when I hear it ... I love and miss him still. Until we meet again, Christopher Young (1950 - 2010).
I'm an old fart from the US of A, years removed and culturally isolated from the marvelous Scottish cultural, but I get all goose bumps every time I watch this .I'd give up my front seat in Hell for one evening in a real Scottish pub. What a way to go.
+Anton Andersson You do know that this is recorded in 2008, 2 years before the album containing this song at spotify? So the song you're listening to on spotify is probably this recorded live version with the handclapping faded out.
+Lildrummerboy714 Being Irish is not so much a matter of birth, but in loving God with music and dance, while keeping a keen eye on who has the brew . . .
Fuck me, this is an incredibly moving song anyway but they just turned the emotion level to 11, tears are streaming down my face. Good job lads. Good night and joy be with you all
I dedicate this song to anyone who has lost a loved one in this past year To those who sought to free themselves from fear To those who nature took before their time To loved and dear ones who left in their prime Because if you can read this UA-cam post Know that you'll never be forgotten By those who love you the most
A couple of years ago I was asked to play bagpipes to this recording for a wedding reception. I did, so now I have three versions of" The Parting Glass"( 3 different tunes) in my repertoire.
Guys in kilts swirling bagpipes have always given my goosebumps and often tears. Love a Capella signing. Hope you visit the West coast of USA too, there's plenty Irish Scots over there.
Just came back to Denmark after 10 days roaming the south and west of Ireland - and this is exactly the feeling that came over me, both staying there and leaving again. I'll be back!
My father was lowered to this song 6 months ago he was taken by surprise and unexpectedly most difficult 6 months of my life but when I listen to this song I shead few tears of happiness as I remember him
One of my dad's best friends posted this song on Facebook a while back following a firefighter tragedy. The song instantly made me think of my dad, who passed away at 7:17am on Christmas morning 2012 from cancer. I felt apart. This song speaks metaphorically to so many levels. I feel absolutely blessed to have found such a beautiful composition. After I began playing this song for him, my little boy, Declan, requests this song almost every night before he goes to sleep. He just turned 2, and he knows almost the entire song. Warms my heart.
from WiKi - "The Parting Glass" is a Scottish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was purportedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne".[1] The song is also popular in Ireland and amongst Irish communities.
Probably because the Irish took their culture to Scotland and it thrived. The two Celtic nations of Scotland and Ireland share much in common culturally with endless cross-overs down the centuries.
MsRockett88 that would also explain the bagpipes...A !ot of people mistake bagpipes as being Irish.... Bagpipes are Scottish...Oileann pipes are Irish..Oileann is pronounced "ill - un"
The Great Irish Warpipes were more the typical bagpipe and predate the Uilleann pipes, but they disappeared from use, and the Uilleann even became more used than the harp... according to the musical history I dug up.
@@Toto_Africa_Bless_The_Rain its earliest written notes/lyrics come from 1630 in Scotland and the earliest mention of it in ireland comes from 1847 making it scottish.
My cousin Sean recently passed away and this song brought peace and love over our family and hopefully jet does the same. This song is pure beauty and actually has a meaning unlike today's music. R.I.P. Sean Martin U.S. Soldier.
exactly. this song is a song of goodbye. whether it is a normal "see you some other time" or a permanent goodbye. this song symbolises both. that is why i love it
Thirty years on now that we've lost our 10. The place of Honour at the table is forever yours...God rest ye gentle, lads...a glass of the stuff for each of ye..Slainte.
We just sang this at my grandmother's funeral today. She was half-Irish, greatly proud of her heritage, and loved both Waking Ned Devine and this song at the end. We lifted glasses of Jameson afterward. Parting has been immeasurably difficult, but I was glad to bear it with such a beautiful song.
This song speaks to me on an emotional level. No deaths in the family or anything. But I did lose someone that was very dear to me so I decided to move to a different city. I left all my friends and the life that I had built. This song reminds me of everything and how much I miss them.
General Martin Dempsey. Sad to see him go. He truly cared more about the Soldiers under his command than furthering his career. His leadership will be missed.
No matter how what the situation is I keep coming here when I drink my whiskey, when i'm sad, when i'm thinking about my grand father or when I want to have a drink with my father again. I know one day he wont be able to cut wood or have a drink with me and when that day comes, I'm going to cry because I won't be able to work with him, watch Comanche Moon with him or drink with him... but when that day does come, this will play and I'll raise my glass and drink for the both of us. I love you Patrick, there will never be another dad like you and I'll make you proud.
I "Raise My Glass" to the 29 miners in the mining disaster here in NZ , My 31 year old nephew is down there along with a great fellow musician buddy, along with 27 other much loved and missed comrades. Sadly missed and never forgotten RIP brothers
A most beautiful song, sung so beautifully by a foursome who must have been brothers in a past life...sensational harmonies and a sound that makes me proud to be Irish.
I was listening to this song in my car on the way to work the other day and it reminded me of my Dad who has passed and it brought tears to my eyes. Oh how Mack loved his Irish heritage! I raise my glass to my Dad a true Irish McKay!
I could listen to these Irish Boy 'o's day and day out. The glory of their harmony, the God bumps that roll o'er me, the sadness mixed with gladness too, I raise the glass in toast to you.
Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever done Alas, it was to none but me And all I've done, for want of wit To memory now, I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night, and joy be to you all So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health, whate'er befalls Then gently rise, and softly call "Good night, and joy be to you all" Of all the comrades that e'er I had They're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell unto my lot That I should rise, and you should not I'll gently rise, and softly call "Good night, and joy be to you all" Fill to me the parting glass And drink a health, whate'er befalls Then gently rise, and softly call "Good night, and joy be to you all" But since it fell unto my lot That I should rise, and you should not I'll gently rise, and softly call "Good night, and joy be to you all" So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health, whate'er befalls Then gently rise, and softly call "Good night, and joy be to you all" Good night, and joy be to you all
Doesnt matter what time of day or circumstance I listen to this song - IT Always gives me chills. Stirs up this LONGING in me that I just cant express. Love my homeland, Eire and wish I could be there
Thank you very much for this amazing song. I knew it from a movie where is played from another artist, but is so expressive and hopefully that I love to listen to it in various version. For me, an italian woman, is beautiful for his origin that make it universal. Good life to all!
The Irish do indeed have some magnificent songs - but this is NOT one of them - this is a Scottish song from the early 17th century 🏴🏴🏴🏴
I'm not even Irish, I'm Italian/American, my in-laws are Indian/Dutch, we played this loud at new years just after midnight. I never heard it before. We were all swaying and singing with our drinks. The music swelled and the bagpipes came in, I couldn't hold it in any longer, I started crying tears of joy. I'll remember that moment in good company for a long time!
This is in my will as the departure finale to my funeral...Eddie Vettter's Rise is to be the overture...what goes on between I care not...and after I hope everyone has a good time at the party...

They played this on my best buddys funeral in 1993, he had to continue on to the next great adventure while we were keeping the peace in Bosnia. Still makes me cry every time I hear this song.
If I ever own a bar, this will be played at every last call.
Mike K. If ever you own said bar, I bet there's a lot of folks here that would love to go for last call (myself included).
Better than always playing Semisonic's song.
It’s been 5 years. Did you open it? I’d love to come for last call 😬
@@fishingwiththenerd I'll be there
Same. An Irish Firefighter Pub 😂😂😂

This song was also played at my grandfather funeral a week ago. He was no bagpipe player but loved being an Irishman. He too suffered from cancer. Such a great song.
xevameulenbeld I'm sorry for your loss, I would’ve loved seeing him play. May he Rest In Peace
The High Kings version (so incredibly beautiful) will be played as we toast my husband at his wake.
I'm so sorry, but what a beautiful way to send him off....
I’m sorry for your loss, may you be reunited with him in the kingdom of God...
Yep! One if not my only favorite. When life is closed tip one for me. Passion is everything. Without it life is not worth waking up.
May he be blessed with whiskey and wines of the best.
So sorry
Not sure how I got here but damn glad I did.
that's what all tourists say when they visit paddy's land :D
+Anon the-third haha I'm Irish and never even heard of these or this song
+Nicole Darcy They aren't irish songs, they're irish inspired american songs songs.
+Nicole Darcy The Clancy Brothers and every major Irish group have sung this song since where have you been living under a rock.
Actually, The Parting Glass has been around in Ireland since at least the 17th century or even earlier. It was the traditional song to sing at the end of a gathering of family and friends before it was succeeded by Robert Burns' "Auld Lang Syne"...
My youngest son just passed. Only 38 years old. His funerals tomorrow. We're playing this after his funeral in the gymnasium. The church won't let us take shots during this song in the Sanctuary. That's understandable.
Love You Corey💞❤️💞
This was my brother's parting song. Tears still fall when I hear it ... I love and miss him still. Until we meet again, Christopher Young (1950 - 2010).
my uncle passed too his name was also Christopher too we sang this at his funeral
Me too, for my father Walter Borowiec aka Brian Boru (his stage name) as well as my best friend Timothy Fitzgerald. RIP to all of our fallen comrades.
I used to listen to Shane's version on stage with Liam Clancy when I was feeling down. Does anyone know where that video went?
This gave me chills. The good kind.
The best rendition of this song I've ever heard.
I'm an old fart from the US of A, years removed and culturally isolated from the marvelous Scottish cultural, but I get all goose bumps every time I watch this .I'd give up my front seat in Hell for one evening in a real Scottish pub. What a way to go.
I've never heard such perfect harmonies in my life... this is godlike! both the song and voices!
+karffiol that's because they're not singing. playing it at the same time on spotify now and it's, sadly, not live.
+Anton Andersson You do know that this is recorded in 2008, 2 years before the album containing this song at spotify? So the song you're listening to on spotify is probably this recorded live version with the handclapping faded out.
You should look up "River Driver" by Great Big Sea if you haven't already. There are incredible harmonies in that as well.
This surpasses Freddie Mercury as the greatest musical performance in history
Incredible powerful perfect harmony!!
one of the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard. This makes me wish I was Irish... wow
+Lildrummerboy714 Being Irish is not so much a matter of birth, but in loving God with music and dance, while keeping a keen eye on who has the brew . . .
+unprofitableservant I am stealing/borrowing this from you.

Lildrummerboy714 the origins are Scottish but it's popular among Irish. Best of both worlds.
@@steray8one -. I'm half Irish and I'll keep my Keen eye on who has the Brew! 😉🙂🇮🇪
How anyone could dislike this version of The Parting Glass is beyond me!
Guilt.
Simply one of the most beautiful songs that has ever graced my ears.
I love how versatile this song is. It can be soft, creepy, haunting, calming, upbeat, etc. Amazing.
This version, may I add, is beautiful.
Fuck me, this is an incredibly moving song anyway but they just turned the emotion level to 11, tears are streaming down my face. Good job lads. Good night and joy be with you all
hello from Ireland
@@petermurpsddahy2476 Haha hello there
I dedicate this song to anyone who has lost a loved one in this past year
To those who sought to free themselves from fear
To those who nature took before their time
To loved and dear ones who left in their prime
Because if you can read this UA-cam post
Know that you'll never be forgotten

As someone who is half Dane and half Celt (and now all Canadian), this somehow resonates deeply.

I would die of happiness if I got to see them!!!! ahhhh Love them!
I want this played at my funeral...whenever the time comes.
So do I. Beautiful words, beautiful melody..
Lynda Graham - already on my playlist.
*sheds a manly tear* that was beautiful
Never ceases to bring me to tears. I adore this song and this group for making me hear it and see it performed with fresh eyes. So beautiful!

This song, particularly their version, always brings tears to my eyes.
Pat Dwyer- who's fathers from Newfoundland who's Fathers from Ireland. I am blessed with the love of music , laughter and a good drink!!
It, most literally, does not get better than this. I miss you Grandad...
The pipes! What a fantastic idea!
ive seen a clip of an American general sing this song during a parade at his retirement....bring a tear to your eye.
General Martin Dempsey. Sad to see him go. He truly cared more about the Soldiers under his command than furthering his career. His leadership will be missed.

Imagine The High Kings did their own version of "I See Fire"
Heck that would be beautiful
Fuck that give me Misty Mountains Cold motherfuckers
This is the perfekt song to show someone that you will miss him. It is very Heart touchig.
This is a stirring performance by any standard! WHY would 20 people dislike it?!

Planning mine now, and it’s on the list!
I'm American, but I say, long live Ireland and their culture!!

I am so proud to be an Irishman.
I WISH I was an Irishman
Same here.
I'm an Irishman too. God bless you my fellow brother!
Me too.
My Great-great-great Grandfather was from Ireland. Don't know how much that counts, but damn is it a good feeling to have some Irish in me.
The best version of this song of all time
I could listen to these Irish Boy 'o's day and day out. The glory of their harmony, the God bumps that roll o'er me, the sadness mixed with gladness too, I raise the glass in toast to you.
I saw them in concert in Boston. It was the best concert I have ever been to. I went with my nephew and another friend. It was an amazing show.
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done, for want of wit
To memory now, I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night, and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health, whate'er befalls
Then gently rise, and softly call
"Good night, and joy be to you all"
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise, and you should not
I'll gently rise, and softly call
"Good night, and joy be to you all"
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health, whate'er befalls
Then gently rise, and softly call
"Good night, and joy be to you all"
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise, and you should not
I'll gently rise, and softly call

Then gently rise, and softly call
"Good night, and joy be to you all"

Just great

Oh man, you Irish have so many amazing songs. But certainly, this here is a very, very special one. I think I broke the replay button.
most of them scottish
The Irish do indeed have some magnificent songs - but this is NOT one of them - this is a Scottish song from the early 17th century 🏴🏴🏴🏴

I may only be 1/8 irish but dammit thats close enough. This is glorious
this is one of my all time favorite songs. the first time i watched this and the bagpipes came out, i burst into tears. such a beautiful song.
i cry every time i hear this song. home is calling.
This has become my theme song. Kudos!
This is how it's done
Neton.fmilia
I really love this band.
This was obviously one of those performances that changed audience members' lives, if only for a little bit. Love love love.
I LOVE this song. God, Why didn't you make me irish?
It's like all the Irish things in the world came together and exploded into one massive ball of green bagpipey Irishnessssss!
Whispering Sun Tree bagpipes = Scottish not irish
Scottish
They played this on my best buddys funeral in 1993, he had to continue on to the next great adventure while we were keeping the peace in Bosnia. Still makes me cry every time I hear this song.
I take my first drink in memory of an old friend who was KIA. Rest well old friend.
Very happy to be irish
Makes me think there must be some Irish in me, though I know I'm not. The music is an arrow o the heart.
gods..the bagpipes get me every time. I love this version so much
This is the best I've ever heard...... So beutiful I can't believe it
