To me this is just so disrespectful to the brave men and women of 1916. It's sad when celebrity just get's it all so very wrong and it's just another nail in the coffin of true Irish history which is so misunderstood or forgotten. As Pearse said, The fools, the fools, the fools...
@@liamjpbrady And completely wrong and in my view disrespectful to the executed of 1916, what they stood for, who they fought against and full of incorrect supposed "facts" (in fact they are so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn't so bad) so you must also be completely devoid of knowledge around the Easter Rising and the aftermath and obviously not understand the irony of this spectacle and how offensive it is to people like me who absolutely love and adore these brave men and women. Look at James Connolly's last statement and if you still don't get it, there is no hope for you on the subject I'm afraid.
Thanks Rod for not being afraid to sing a song about Irish history , there are English people calling it anti English what a bizarre understanding of the song , it’s a song of sadness of two young people who loved each other separated for ever by conflict ...
The ultimate price for a great love is not paid by the one who dies, but by the one who must endure an eternity of heartbreak after. I learned this recently when my parents died.
Not only has Rod understood this song, he's made it his! The blood on the rose! My infant's name is Joseph-Mary, if our next one is healthy, she'll be Grace!
It's a great song and you might understand the whole story but unfortunately Rod obviously doesn't from what I have just heard, and as an Englishman do you really understand the whole story, I wonder, unfortunately even most Irish don't.
Happy St Patrick's Day ☘️🇮🇪💚🦄 Rod 💚 you just nailed this...i loved that you told the beautiful tragic story... amazing. You are are cherished treasure Sir Rod. 💐☘️🇮🇪
As an immensely proud Irish-American, Grace is one of my dearest songs, taught it to my children (My daughter's middle name is Grace) as toddlers. Together as a family we traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland and learned and walked the grounds of the GPO and Kilmainham Goal, me as a grand-child and namesake for a 1916 Uprising Survivor and my children, my son is also a namesake of his great grandfather. Fast forward to 2016 my son a Sgt. in the United States Marines Corps attended the 100th Anniversary celebration of the uprising as a member of then Vice-President Biden's security detail, walking the street toting a gun just like his Great Grandfather that day in 2016. I still get chills when I hear this song and yes I do tear up.
I first heard this in Turkey in an Irish bar before a Celtic match. The bar plays it every time there is an Irish or Scottish Celtic match. I heard it in Glasgow in Argyle street a month ago it is such a great reminder of what went on at that time, I’m neither Scottish or Catholic but this is such a be beautiful song about a tragedy that it should resound with everyone.

Her name was Grace Gifford and she never had another husband she was a true lady and there is many more people during the rising who didn't get talked about but in Ireland they are legends and never be forgotten
@@markbowes4704 I think this marriage has made Joseph Mary Plunkett and Grace Gifford story has made them immortal..it's a beautiful song. Rod does a great job but i cant get past Jim McCann's version..
My brother-in-law passed late last year aged 59 and this was played at his funeral at his request. Every time it is played it brings tears to my eyes RIP Eddie Burns.
Arguably the most powerful love song of all time . They had 10 minutes together , then Joseph Mary plunket was shot to death and grace Gifford became a widow . Heart breaking
I believe she lived until the 60s she never remarried and was also involved in the 1916 uprising they were very young Patrick was a young man who suffered from tuberculosis but was instrumental as a writer because he was one of the main signatories of the proclamation he was sentenced to death and Grace was a talented artist after the majority of Ireland gained independence she lived her life quietly in Dublin
Actually quite a heartbreaking story behind this, is true he married grace but she didn't have it easy in anyway shape or form after he was killed, his parents done everything they could to stop her inheritance from him and she lived in poverty for many years

And that he got most of the details wrong. Grace was 28 years old when she married and was 67 years old when she died in 1955. She would have been 81 years old in 1969 had she lived until then and not many people born in 1888 like she was, did so. Joseph was 29 years old when they married and so was a year older than her, rather than the other way around.
@@seanscanlon9067 He was not shot the next morning, He was taken out and shot when the 15 minutes was over. Salute to Rod for singing this heartbreaking love song, but Jim McCann sings it like no other.

The saddest song and truly touching words ever in a song about the hero’s of Ireland 🇮🇪 in the 1916 uprising that happened manly in Dublin , I’m Irish and was born very near kilmainham jail , where this hero was shot and killed , I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now but I’ve never forgotten my history of Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m proud to say that I’m Irish ☘️ I love Ireland and love Canada 🇨🇦 👍
I am an old fan of Rod Stewart. I remember buying the single Maggie May. I'm an Irishman and it is very nice to hear Rod singing this song and empathizing with one of Ireland's great patriots. Right on Rod!
I am an old fan of Rod too, since the Gasoline Alley days but now Sir Rod Stewart has no right to sing this song after having accepted the knighthood from the very crown and empire who caused this, who raped Ireland and killed Irishmen and woman!
james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate. One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.
Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.
Im not an Irish. Im an asian man, actaually Indonesian. But i dont know, i love Irish people, irish culture and irish politicial view about british, and you know, i always put "Egan" in the middle of my name in all my social media, and also people around me call me Tyo Egan. And for fuck sake, im die hard celtic fc fans. Greetings from Indonesia 💚🇮🇪🍀🇮🇩

So much going on beneath the surface with this performance, Rod inhaling at the start finding his voice, fingerwagging the backing vocals to sit back because he'd found his peak. Greatest performance. Talent and material rhyme.
I noticed that as well. It could be seen as rude, but it wasn't. He was just making sure they knew he was gonna go for it alone. They were smiling and then joined him again later. I bet he's a great guy to work for 🎶 💚
Rod you have done your self proud really good version love it because when you're in a pub in the north of Ireland they will play your version of this great song no Matter how is in the bar 👍👌🇨🇮 🏴
Rod, talk about putting your heart and soul, magnificent absolutely magnificent. You did this song proud but more so Mr and Mrs Plunkett Irelands own Romeo and Juliete a tragic love story but this was real life. Thank you Rod, you deserve the title Sir 🙏
Every irsh person iever met only goes on about the past but most of them cant wait to fucking get out usa australia or england. Hypocrites or as we say here in Colorado bitches lol
I am of Irish desent and when I heard the song Grace boy could I connect with that song! In our family ancestry going back to 1815 none of my relatives have ever gotten divorced. We had a motto in our family and that is this One love ❤️ One life.

Wow, I’m a big Rod Stewart fan, yet I’ve not heard that before. A beautiful rendition of a very sorry story. Hard to really comprehend the feelings of the 2 young people who loved each other but had no time to share that love 😢
For me it's about the song and the two people who the song is, about!! Irish history is written in song and this one is exceptionally great. It causes a tear every time.. Rebels we will always be until every corner of our land is free. England itself will always be in chains until Ireland is in bondage no more..
Well if the English had a referendum to leave irland and Scotland The English would let you stand on your own 2 feet . we voted to leave uerope .you can see by comments English basterds etc the Irish poeple saying these things were not about at time of killing.unlike the English who in the 70s lost love ones . English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone

Go into any pub in Ireland and you'll find a better singer than jim Mccann, Rod is well past his best but I'll bet his studio cut of this is the best version ever and i enjoyed this live version more than mccanns.
Edward Donnachie I've never claimed Jim McCann was better than Rod and I'm sure they're are better singers than him. But Jim's version is my favourite of any one I've heard. It's just set in my mind. Xxx
Mairead Meehan Mairead I'm right beside you on my favourite person to sing it with out a doubt in my opinion Jim is by far the best it's just the information you said Jim give's at the start is incorrect as if you look at other comments you will learn the correct information on the BEAUTIFUL SONG well if you haven't already done that Mairead ✌💚🍀☘✔

Here are the lyrics of the full song. As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye For we must say goodbye

Grace Gifford died with a broken heart in 1955. She wad 67. She had never remarried. A true love story.
The marriage allowed the military and by extension the English government to pretend to themselves that they were honorable

The saddest song and truly touching words ever in a song about the hero’s of Ireland 🇮🇪 in the 1916 uprising that happened manly in Dublin , I’m Irish and was born very near kilmainham jail , where this hero was shot and killed , I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now but I’ve never forgotten my history of Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m proud to say that I’m Irish ☘️ I love Ireland and love Canada 🇨🇦 👍
Love the Irish ☘️ people , long live Ireland the home of the braves 💖🙏🌸
A truly remarkable true song of how the English where towards the Irish. Credit to rod Stewart for singing this historic song from his heart 💖
I am an old fan of Rod Stewart. I remember buying the single Maggie May. I'm an Irishman and it is very nice to hear Rod singing this song and empathizing with one of Ireland's great patriots. Right on Rod!
yes me also just like yesterday
I am an old fan of Rod too, since the Gasoline Alley days but now Sir Rod Stewart has no right to sing this song after having accepted the knighthood from the very crown and empire who caused this, who raped Ireland and killed Irishmen and woman!

beautiful Rod ....a classic song well done
I'm sort of glad you're lost already, Mr Highlander. Saves me from suggesting that you , ahem, "get lost"...
Thank God for those brave men also for the brilliant Celtic fans who never forget
He is going to make this great song so popular all over the world good on him , he does it very well 🍀
Ever heard the Green Brigade renditions at Celtic matches ? You can guarantee Rod has paricipated in those many, many times amongst the thousands ...
james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate.
One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.
Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.
Muriel McAuley hi
Tony Mc Donald Hello!
Well done Rod great respect to the Irish god bless you my son
God bless you Rod fantastic song
Thank you
Amen to that Jimmy
Rod had to compose himself before he started the song, a pure pro, right there....Respect man....!
He shook his hand at his backing vocalist mid song.He lost a few points there imo.The poor girl was mortified.
@@janefriel6895 He knew he had it covered....and it was beautiful....
We will never ever forget these brave lrish rebels and heroes...l am proud of my lrish blood.. cork
It's war my pal just look around your city non Irish
barbara palmer kJ.lkkkhkhhhjh.jjjj
32 years away from Ireland I'm still proud of my homeland...enough said.

Proud to be true republicans child 💚💚💚💚💚
Im not an Irish. Im an asian man, actaually Indonesian. But i dont know, i love Irish people, irish culture and irish politicial view about british, and you know, i always put "Egan" in the middle of my name in all my social media, and also people around me call me Tyo Egan. And for fuck sake, im die hard celtic fc fans. Greetings from Indonesia 💚🇮🇪🍀🇮🇩
Much love Tyo
I am irish love rod singing grace. Love rod anyway
You might as well be Irish

I have loved Rod's music for decades...but this is going down as one of my all-time favorites. Thank you!
Top tune
So much going on beneath the surface with this performance, Rod inhaling at the start finding his voice, fingerwagging the backing vocals to sit back because he'd found his peak. Greatest performance. Talent and material rhyme.
I noticed that as well. It could be seen as rude, but it wasn't. He was just making sure they knew he was gonna go for it alone. They were smiling and then joined him again later. I bet he's a great guy to work for 🎶 💚
Rod you have done your self proud really good version love it because when you're in a pub in the north of Ireland they will play your version of this great song no Matter how is in the bar 👍👌🇨🇮 🏴
Beautiful song we played at my friend's funeral they all 😍 😍 Ann Dunleavy ❤
Always brings a tear to my eye. At least one of my ancestors fought in the Easter Rising under James Connolly.
The blonde backing singer is an absolute honey
No she aint, she looks like a make up doll
Rod, talk about putting your heart and soul, magnificent absolutely magnificent. You did this song proud but more so Mr and Mrs Plunkett Irelands own Romeo and Juliete a tragic love story but this was real life. Thank you Rod, you deserve the title Sir 🙏
Thanks rod for singing that song for Ireland 🍺
Is he singing it for irland or is he making money out of the Irish he Scottish then English then American .
Rod loved the story of the lrish history so yes he was very proud to sing this beautiful lrish song thanks Rod
Legend. As a Irish republican in Leicester it makes me smile when I here this song sung by a fellow Celtic fan. God bless you Rod x
no surrender
@@robertdunlop8312 No suspenders.
An Irish republican in Leicester hahahaha really fighting for the cause there mate
Every irsh person iever met only goes on about the past but most of them cant wait to fucking get out usa australia or england. Hypocrites or as we say here in Colorado bitches lol
@@Troyyork401
Agree 100 %
What a beautiful song to remember all those brave men that died for their love of country.
Hi yea a beautiful song sung by a great p
AltziemersJoke about alziemers
A BRILLIANT!!!! song, as heart wrenching as it is....i'm singing along with Rod, crying my eyes out. WELL DONE!!!! ROD.
oh yes your sentiments reflect mine.. god bless your irish heart..
British soldier solder
Rods a legend love this Irish song so sad but truly beautiful.
I am of Irish desent and when I heard the song Grace boy could I connect with that song! In our family ancestry going back to 1815 none of my relatives have ever gotten divorced. We had a motto in our family and that is this One love ❤️ One life.
Just love to listen to this for St. Patrick's. Beautiful voice and gentleman.
Stunningly beautiful ballad about the great people ❤

It’s kind of chilling that the events this beautiful song describes took place only 5 minutes walk from where I live on this day 103 years ago.
What a Tim is Rod Stewart never ,ever forgot his beginnings❤God bless the Irish
Never know Rob Stewart sang this song it has to be one of the best Irish songs ever, and Rob sang it beautifully and respect from an Irish man 🇮🇪💯
Rod I'm Irish and know all about that . 😊❤ Slainte
My all time favourite song,I’ll listened to all the different versions by all different people,but Rods version is exception.
absolutely outstanding rod one of the best versions i have ever heard
absolutely beautiful
Great song Grace Rod Stewart
Rod thanks for sharing 😊, Great Song, I was in Kilmainham jail.❤😊 Gerry Giffney the man who got Jack Charlton his Irish job, Slainte
Wow, I’m a big Rod Stewart fan, yet I’ve not heard that before. A beautiful rendition of a very sorry story. Hard to really comprehend the feelings of the 2 young people who loved each other but had no time to share that love 😢
Happy St paddy's day from Belfast ,sang it beautifully Sir Rod
Beautiful. An incredible rendition...words fail me.
And me, what is he doing?
Beautiful
I am Irish & have loved rods music for many year think this is an absolutely amazing version of Grace
Welll done Rod absolutely beautiful
For me it's about the song and the two people who the song is, about!! Irish history is written in song and this one is exceptionally great. It causes a tear every time.. Rebels we will always be until every corner of our land is free. England itself will always be in chains until Ireland is in bondage no more..
Well if the English had a referendum to leave irland and Scotland
The English would let you stand on your own 2 feet . we voted to leave uerope .you can see by comments English basterds etc the Irish poeple saying these things were not about at time of killing.unlike the English who in the 70s lost love ones . English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone
I absolutely agree

Always in my memory and love to you dear Ciaran from Belfastxx
Jim McCann's version is my favourite. He gives a bit of history about the song before singing it. But fairplay to Rod for giving it a belt ❤❤❤.
Mairead Meehan i have to agree with you ,but what a song x
Go into any pub in Ireland and you'll find a better singer than jim Mccann, Rod is well past his best but I'll bet his studio cut of this is the best version ever and i enjoyed this live version more than mccanns.
Edward Donnachie I've never claimed Jim McCann was better than Rod and I'm sure they're are better singers than him. But Jim's version is my favourite of any one I've heard. It's just set in my mind. Xxx
Mairead Meehan
Mairead I'm right beside you on my favourite person to sing it with out a doubt in my opinion Jim is by far the best it's just the information you said Jim give's at the start is incorrect as if you look at other comments you will learn the correct information on the BEAUTIFUL SONG well if you haven't already done that Mairead ✌💚🍀☘✔
Edward Donnachie
And that is why EAVERY ONE is unique I'll be looking out for ROD'S PERFORMANCE and I'm sure it will be another proud moment for lots of us I'm sure it will be for me ✌🖒🍀☘in any way ✌🍀☘💚
Rod your one in a million mate.true gentleman

What a lovely song Grace after all this time people are remembered well sung rod
Each time I hear this song, I cannot help but cry. Though I know he sings it in English for clarity, I wish he would learn to sing it in Gaeilge. Now THAT would set an Irish audience on fire!
Great songs by great artists brings back the times I listen to these songs with my mother God bless her
Well done Rod!!! I am an Irish woman and forever your fan!

Derry girls send all love to rod he is a true celt
The Irish are not a Celtic people.
👍
Here are the lyrics of the full song.
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
For we must say goodbye
Beautiful1 Thank you John.
Thx very much
I sing this for tourists and they love it thank you 🙂
Rod is a living legend, Celts will always have respect for each other...
This song just doesn't just go to your heart it goes to your very soul as well.Thank you Rod you gave it your all.
