    My partner played this song and sang this song to our daughter as a newborn at night to settle her, now six years on, this is the song we play every night (on repeat) so she can fall asleep ❤

    I work in pediatrics. I never got attached to any of my young charges, but there was one little girl with autism who I worked with and helped to overcome her sensory processing challenges. She was a tiny little three year old who was nonverbal, legally blind, and cried something fierce at changes in routine and loud noises. She liked quiet, steady noises, and sensory input in the form of deep pressure massages. I helped her overcome her challenges and function in a typical classroom environment, and developed a strong bond with her in spite of myself. Sometimes I sang this song to her quietly when she was scared or upset to calm her down. It’s been a few years since she moved on to another program in a different school. This song makes me think of her.

    My grandfather was 100 % Irish and my mom and her mom and sisters celebrate his life every year in Spring Lake for Saint Patrick’s day which is the day he died back in 2009 !!! He was an amazing man who created a beyond beautiful life - I was young when he died and so wish he was still with us today , every Saint Patrick’s Day is emotional for our family because we think of him !! However we all know he is in a better place now and each and everyone in the Honan family carries a piece of him !! My grandma has been alone since March 17 , 2009 and we understand how she feels about him - he was her everything and we are always there for her !!! This song is one song that reminds us of him ( this song is the song that my mom and her mom and sisters sing in Spring Lake , NJ ) We miss you everyday Pop Pop - Forever our Lassie - RIP Barry M Honan Dec 9 , 1934 - March 17 , 2009 !

      thats old outdated, the Celtic thing is linked by language. There is no evidence of the Celts in Ireland. There is also no change in culture before or after the supposed arrival of the Celts into Ireland. This suggests that if the Celts did come to Ireland they had little or no impact into Irish culture

      I meant the series Outlander the music played in Outlander is so similar to Irish music of course they speak a different dialect but this music will bring you to your knees literally I guess you can familiarize it with gospel soul music in the south in the United States where I live now I'm originally from Ireland people sing the songs as a way of I don't know what without even starting to cry right now we were told we could not practice our own religion by the British we were told or we were force from our homes my forefathers and that went before me had the rules other houses torched as a froze to death with their newborn children all of their resources lamb cheese chicken potatoes yes there was still potatoes that were not all rotten cheese beef milk or exported to England to feed the fat bellies after British the Redcoats are whatever you want to call him no dogs no blacks no Irish people talk about slavery people don't talk about but the brightest at our land that was torture it wasn't like thicker and the gas Chambers but it was genocide brought on by the British government and Cromwell King Henry the 8th because he couldn't get divorce from Mary Queen of Scots you serious she can see I'm still a little bit pissed off about all that stuff United Kingdom test every country in the world try to destroy it good Kick In The Head isn't it I love it they want to get out of the European Union honestly if I saw Queen Mother walk by I wouldn't even nod at her

    The lyrics are of course "Braes of Balquhidder" by the Scottish poet Tannahill. Just several words changed in most of the song and the phrase "Braes of Balquhidder" replaced by "all go together" The rest is almost identical apart from the last verse that seems to be new. The tunes are similar though not the same. The McPeakes slapped a copyright on it but that is not the same as actually writing it. As far as I know Francis seemingly didn't even claim to have written it. He said he didn't know where it originated but it could be Scottish (which it is) but it was his family who copyrighted it.

    I agree with the comment bellow. By god, i mean you do realist it doesn't really matter which side of the water it was written. Least not because the two nations have been mixing longer than any one cares to remember. And now here i sit in England with a Scottish Gran and an Irish Granddad, and you know what they'd both say? That its a great old Celtic song! And you know what, I've heard countless other songs shared and loved by both nations.
    Though this is definitely one of the most beautiful.

    I've never understood that "If my true love she was gone, I would surely find another"-part. What is the sweet thing about that? Can anyone explain?

      Whalturk Listen to the rest of the verse, and think about the context of the song. It's a love song about the Highland itself. So what he's saying is, if he ever were to lose his true love, he'd find love again in his homeland, which he loves.
