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 ...
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.
Love the fact rod Stewart sings this song after hearing it at a Celtic football match, it really got to him and he has visited kilmanin gaol and the graves of all who died in the name of freedom 💕🙏 and 22 yr old grace Clifford never married, again ,,now that's true love 💕
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.
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
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 💚🇮🇪🍀🇮🇩
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.
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 🇨🇦 👍

From an Irish man.. I salute this version.. Well done sir
This song always brings tears to my eyes. As an Englishman of a Dublin Mother I understand the whole story, a beautiful rendition.

Great respect to rod Stewart for sing ING this classic Irish ballad, and sticking to the original lyrics ♥️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀👍
One of my favorites, nothing better than the whole crowd at Celtic Park singing ''Grace'', would bring a tear to a glass eye.
For rod to have given a few minutes to Irish history in his concert takes a tear to my eye.
Respect Rod for courage and truth.. From Scotland.
I have a message for the BBC who refused to play this song, in a song.
I first heard this 5 years ago at celtic Park,Celtic v Rangers,the supporters singing it,sending shivers down my spine,brilliant.
My 90 year old Dad loves to hear this song ,He was born in Philadelphia of a Donegal Mother and a Scottish Dad ,
Oh my Goodness, Rod surpasses himself, what a beautiful song.
