What should I sing in Irish next?
Stay very handsome!
... "My Heart Will Go On"? That could be interesting and lovely.
3 Score and Ten would be awesome. I feel like you would do great with that one.
White Blank Page by Mumford and Sons
7 years might be interesting to hear
Don’t Stop Believing
This gets even better when you remember that "Viva la Vida" is about the French Revolution, and the French Republic supported the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
even if the French did it to annoy the English it's a beautiful song
i could totally see this being a song the irish sing to piss off the english back in the 1700s
Of course they did. They were at war with Britain at the time!
If there is one thing we can all agree on it is: screw the English.
The French supported anything that f&*ked over England.
Move away Coldplay, Colmplay is here now
Awesome man
omg perfection
Colmplay 🤣
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Well played
Their song "Yellow" will then be "Green"
@@hanzquejano7112 LOVE IT
Ireland should forever remain proud of their great language! Please never let it die.
Couldn't agree more!
Totally agree!
Well, the good news is there has been a push to bring it back, at least in Northern Ireland and extending some to the US, I don't know how things are in the Republic as that's not where my family is from. I know my grandmother could at least read the language, and I think spoke some when I was young - single one off words or phrases I've unfortunately long forgotten. Partially cause there were certain political issues at home, and when over here (in the US) speaking English was expected and well - some people are to put it very nicely jerks to people who speak another language/differently. But me and my mom at least are looking to at least try and learn, even if it's use state side is limited.
Part of why I really like these covers is that some of her old music from Ireland is actually in the language, so even if I don't know the meanings I sometimes recognize the words said and reminds me of when I was a kid around the house and she'd play old Irish folk music or even more modern ones (or at least 'modern' as in pre-1990's that was not yet 'old').
@@anthony7697I was at a Gaelic Storm concert with my family and this nice man was telling me in the merch line that he has a tutor teaching him at his farm, which he can’t travel from often. He also was encouraging us around him to learn as well 😊
@@cryptic_kay i know old norse (northen icelandic 1650 era) but irish is definitely more my speed wish i knew it
Do I know a single word of Irish? No. Is it going in music playlist? Yes.
Man I wish my grandparents had chosen to pass on Irish. They both grew up speaking it, but thought it had no place in the modern world. It’s a language built for songs and taproom disputes.
Please share more songs in it, Colm ❤
Start learning it. Every language has a place in the modern world.
“No place in the modern world” what bullshit. They did their culture a great disservice. If my family did that then I’d be a Russian, Austrian, or German.
@@walkerx1813 sadly for work I have to focus on learning French first
And lemme tell you, to me personally, that language is super hard
@@alexm-e4910 I love how diverse our IndoEuropean languages are. yet bound by common roots. We share common ancestors.
Viva La Vida is one of those songs that pretty much always sounds great, IMO, but singing it in Irish takes it to a whole new level. Even though I can’t really understand it, it’s just got this beautiful flow to it that fits the melody perfectly.
Yes. I don't understand a word, but the Irish makes the song better.
Yeah. Joe Satriani did a great job when he wrote the melody...
I did not expect this to be entirely in Irish
Such a pleasant surprise!!!!!!!!!! This is so cool! It gives this song so much new life!
"posted 23 seconds ago" i love my timing
was this really first it was at 2 views when i saw this
Likewise
Posted 23 minutes ago for me
I got 23 minutes ago lol
3 hours ago😂
Yet another banger, King.
Gotta hear you do the devil went down to Georgia one day.
I second that!
As a southern boy who was born, raised and still lives in Georgia I approve this request!
YESSS!!!!
Oh yiissssss❤
YES YES YES
Never on earth would I have expected one of my favorite artists to do an Irish folk cover of my all time favorite song but WOW. This rules!!
Im irish but i have no connection to any of my culture, but this song is the first thing that has ever resonated in my soul. Like ive heard this language all my life and it just made me want to burst into joyous dance. Thank you Colm, so very much
I would legit pay a 100 bucks to whatever charity Colm chooses if he sang Fallen Kingdom.
In Irish? ;p
@@user-tj2en6iy8r would be even more impressive if he sang it in Khuzdul, but English would also be fine.
Every time i read the "Stay very handsome", it makes me very happy :). Thank you!
My late fiance loved this song! She taught me Irish when we were in university, it took a while for me to learn but I'm pretty fluent now. This video combines two vivid memories I had with her, thank you for this! Love from Sheffield!
You have to be the most talented Irish musician I’ve ever seen, and I grew up with a lot. Also, I’m always glad to see people singing in Irish keeping it alive
Dangit, I'm too early and no one has put the lyrics in the comments, so I can't sing along in a weird Southern American-interpreting-Irish mess. Somebody reply when the lyrics arrive so I can return!
Jokes aside though, great cover! The Irish singing sounds absolutely beautiful on this song!
Found some for ya. I wish you all the luck. Irish is not a phonetic language. It's one of its charms.
Ba mé, uair, Rí an domhain.
Bhog na sléibhte mórthimpeall orm.
Reált geal na maidne, é ag lasadh romham
Ach níor airigh sé riamh mo dhóthain.
Mo naimhde, chuile shaghais,
Ag iarraidh lom na fírinne a leigheas.
Sluaghairm ag canadh linn
Ar mhallacht an Rí, seanRí imithe.
An eochair i dtaisce im’ chroí
Thit as a chéile mar bheadh gadaí san oíche.
Anois mé a breathnú thar timpeall orm
Ar an ríocht a bhí ann, ab áille ar domhan.
Cloig Jerusalem iad ag seinm
Glór na n-aingeal ag ardú ionam.
Sí mo mhian, mo rogha, mo shaol,
Ní dheanfaidh muid dearmad ar an scéal.
Airím slán i m’intinn fhéin
Gan í ann ní bheadh tada - tada riamh mar inné
B’shin nuair a sheas mé ar bharr an domhain.
Mé anseo seasamh i lár gaoth aduaidh
Ag iarraidh an t-olc a chloígh gan dua.
Sluaghairm ceol is drumaí ag bualadh trom
No, ní chreidfeá an troid atá istigh ionam.
Ár misean ná go mbeidh muid saor
Ní faoi choimín ag an Béarla de shíor.
Teanna timpeall is bí ag canadh linn
D’aon ghuth nach n-airíonn sé chomh binn,
Cloig Jerusalem, iad ag seinm
Glór na n-aingeal ag ardú ionam.
Sí mo mhian, mo rogha, mo shaol
Ní dheanfaidh muid dearmad ar an scéal.
Airím slán i m’intinn fhéin
Tá fhios ‘am is féidir linn bheith gan é
Is luath go dtí an uair ann go mbeidh mé im’ Rí.
Cloig Jerusalem iad a’ seinm
Glór na n-aingeal ag ardú ionam.
Sí mo mhian, mo rogha, mo shaol
Ní dheanfaidh muid dearmad ar an scéal.
Airím slán i m’intinn fhéin
Tá fhios ‘am is féidir linn bheith gan é
Is luath go dtí an uair ann go mbeidh mé im’ Rí.
This is TG Lurgan's version, they don't seem to match perfectly, but the greater majority of it matches.
@@JackSilver1410 i am not even gonna try. i wish i knew Irish
hearing this song makes me want to learn gaelic again, would be awesome to speak the language of my heritage, thankyou for inspiring me
It’s a crime that Colm’s sub count isn’t double what it is. Fantastic cover.
So is ‘“Fallen Kingdom” Irish Folk version’ in the works?
I mean, this is close enough
I'd love to see his take on dragonhearted tbh
KEEP YOUR LANGUAGE ALIVE!!
The only word I can use to describe this is beautiful. You're amazing Colm.
Irish is so beautiful. I am TRYING to learn it now, wish me luck!
i don't understand but at the same time... i do 🥹
you are without a doubt an amazing person Colm R. McGinness, keep on pressing forward! ❤
it’s really great! it gives me the motivation to continue learning Irish! 🥰
when i saw "Irish Folk" i was expecting just the style and Music. but when you started singing in IRISH it took a couple leaps higher
TG Lurgan have pop songs in Irish as well ;)
@@Skyebright1 I love TC Lurgan
I had to dive for my headphones for this.
Never would have guessed that it works this well.
X🎶🎵👏👏👏💚
I can't imagine the work this took.
I just woke up to this?! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS AND A COVER FROM YOU?! BEST DAY EVERRRRRRR‼️
Colm this was perfect, your music always makes me feel at home. I’m sure you are a busy guy but if you ever have the time will you do the song “rainbow connection “. Anyway thank you for sharing your talent with everyone, the world is a better place with it.
Was wondering why i didn't recognise this, turns out Colm has graced us with another song
The first song I learned to sing with an acoustic!! I didn't expect to hear it in Gaelic! Just astounding!! 😍
My dad had heard your HTTYD Tavern style medley a while back and was like that's cool.
Sent him this last night, it's his heart song. His puppy's named after the song too. Your cover brought happy tears to his eyes, and earned you a new fan.
Ever amazing, Colm!
welcome new fan. you are in for a trip!
Lovely. This sounds like a perfect song for riding a motorcycle on a highway through grass desert
Songs are so much more beautiful in Irish ❤
I wish I could like this more than once. I might not understand the language but I love listening to it. This was very lovely.
Whelp, that's it. It's time for me to take my very Irish American arse to the land of my people to find Colm and hug this man.
I'm very curious. Is Irish/Gaelic commonly spoken among younger folks in Ireland? Or is the fluency dwindling, in favor of English?
And do you guys refer to it as just Irish, Gaelic, or both?
it is called irish and has over 170,000 native speakers but over 1.6 million have some Knowledge in the language. Theres over 188 gaelscoileann {irish language primay schools } and 31 gaelcholáistí or secandry schools these are not counting the ones in Gaeltacht areas many have long waiting lists for students to get in. A Gaeltacht is where irish is the main langugae sopken. There is a small revival happing on social media and in Northern ireland with the ''DEARG LE FEARG'' movment which got equal staus for irish in northern ireland in 2022. irish is the first language of Ireland and a bi first in NI. Gaelic is a group of languages consisting of Irish, Manx and Scots Gaelic within the Celtic family there is 3 other bretonic languages.
@@tristanmurphy6969 Interesting! Very valuable info. Thank you!
So English is the primary language spoken across Ireland and NI, with most being "familiar" with Irish, though not fluently speaking it in everyday conversations.
There are specific communities and schools where Irish is the primary languague spoken, though are likely challenging to get into.
It sounds like there are very active efforts to keep Irish alive as a spoken language, and not permit it to become a "dead language", like so many other languages and language groups once they've adopted English.
On a cultural side, is there a "divide" (however slight) between the native Irish speakers and those who only speak English?
@@Arielelian yes well the Gaeltacht areas are along the west coast apart from 3 and would be more conservitive than the most of ireland and are in very rural areas. The areas are shriking but there are government programs to keep people speaking irish in 2021 one small village offerd a house for a young family to move into to stop their school from closing and over 2,000 familys aplied to get the home for 1 year. Irish is a mandatory subjct in all schools from age 5-18 but the school system is not good at teaching the language so many come to ''hate'' the language. but to go to uni you must have passed irish a suject in school unless you are exempt from it. and yes the gaelscoileann and gaelcholáistí very hard to get into i was on a waiting list for 2.5 years but didnt get in. at age 13-17 most irish kids go to summer camp for 2 weeks where they only speak irish these are Gaeltacht camps much like american summer camps but with school in the morning and a ceili { a traditional irish dance party} at night durring the day the do soprts play games and go on trips to important cultural sites while speaking irish at all times and these too are hard to get into and they are expensive but the government does offer grants. By law all road signs and all public and government buildings { libraries, airports, trains, public bathrooms ,ect} must have both english and irish signs and all major companys eg.. apple intel microsoft must have a irish language liaison. if you want to study law you must be able to do a court case completly in irish and if you as a defentent wnat you can request it in irish. It is illegal to refuse to serve anyone speaking irish and accomodations must be made even in uni people who speak irish get uni accomidation for cheeper but you must speak irish as you and your roommate are all irish speakers. i was wrong it is 1,761,420 pople as of 2020 that have some knowlage of irish 111,473 spoke weekly and 83,803 spoke daily out of education along the west coast around 48-50 percent of people could understand a large amount irish. as of 2024 Galway is a bilingual city with 48 perent of people being largly fluent in irish and 30,000 speaking it as a first language. this does not translate to the east with around 30-35 percent knowing some irish. the younger genertion 0-25 knoing alot mor than tose from 26-55 and people over 70 kew it the most but there is a small but rising push online with members of gen-z to raise there kids to speak irish as a first language
@@tristanmurphy6969 Dude! Thanks a ton for writing that! That provides a lot of insight.
It sounds like the younger generation want to reconnect with their Irish roots (language being a pivotal aspect), and are pushing harder for that. Which makes sense, as I've seen the same patterns occur within my native culture as well.
Glad to see that the Irish govt. maintains a language preservation effort. It may seem inconvenient for some, I'm sure, but I've come to understand how important it is in my later years.
Hopefully, stuff like what Colm is doing continues to inspire young folks to preserve their culture and language so it doesn't fade into obscurity, like so many other languages.
I appreciate your feedback very very much!
It was this day that I realized I never actually listened to Viva La Vida, and thought I've been subconsciously replacing it with TryHardNinja's Fallen Kingdom this entire time.
half of me is buttthurt i dont understand the language, but the better half of me is so happy Colm is doing more for the Celtic language than probably anyone else can and i respect that. Vive la Ireland. Your islands beauty is worth the fight.
My nana would be proud to hear this. Bless her soul. Dia linn
Ah, my guilty pleasure is now guilt free! Thank you 💚
Colm, your voice continues to amaze. These covers are always wonderful. Happy Friday!
This is one of your best covers, Colm. Mind blowingly great!
I'm really starting to love these Irish covers. Keep up the good work
Love this song, amazing to hear YOU sing it in Irish! ❤
I only recently discovered you through your Goodbye cover of Arcane and I really can't stop listening to your songs. I love your voice! Best regards from Germany, keep up the good work. ❤(Love the Irish Folk version of the song by the way!)
Welcome to the fan club🍻
This is gorgeous. Irish is such a lovely language, and the cadence here feels wonderful.
Breathtakingly beautiful. I love that you chose to sing it in Irish!
Amazing ! Thank you for sharing !
Thank you so much for this beautiful cover. Keep up the fantastic work.
It sounds like such a unique lullaby and I love it
One of the best songs covered by the best artist, day can’t get much better
I don't think you've done Suil A Ruin yet, you really should. When I think of Ireland, that's the song that comes to mind. Spent a month there, I got home a few days ago, it's an incredible country. Getting to see buildings that are 4 to 6 times older than my country really is incredible.
Another variant of this beautiful song to add to my collection
As always your singing is awesome
Stay very Handsome Colm
An absolutely glorious rendition! ❤👑
Looking forward to seeing you in concert with The Longest Johns in October. Another amazing release as always, and the collabs with Bobby and Jonathan have been incredible as well.
Genius!
What you create is much appreciated 🤗
I'm so damn dyslexic. I clicked on this instantly thinking it was livin lavida loca
I was already prepared to love this, but when you started singing in Gaeilge--UGH MY HEART 🥰
I think you should sing "Mary on A Cross" by Ghost, I think it would be beautiful.
Absolutely amazing 👏🏼
Awesome as always!!!!❤
I didn't expect Irish Gaelic!! Beautiful
Outstanding !
God anything, Irish is so beautiful....and your voice makes it even more so❤❤❤
True beaute of a song. Thank you for always making fire content for us to enjoy
Absolutely gorgeous!
I was not prepared for this! 🤩 💟
Always a good day when Colm video drops.
WOOOHOOO I love so much. So addicting thanks.
Love to hear it!
What a neat idea, and it sounds awesome 😮
just amazing !
So cool that Colm made a remix of Coldplay's remix of Fallen Kingdom
Woow sounds good!! 😍🔥🔥🔥
Holy smokes, I love this!
Egal, welche Stimmlage, ... eine unglaubliche Stimme!
Can I just say I love your office I wish my office space can be like that love the channel love the music keep up the great work
this song is gonna do numbers.
amazing job as usual, you very handsome man!!!
One of my favourite songs ever just got better, Hon the Colm lad🍀💚
Another really good performance my friend! Keep up the good work!!
Beautiful!
What a lovely surprise! I didn't realize you meant Irish language folk cover. Beautiful.
It works very well in Gaelic!
A song I already know and love, AND it's in Gaelic? Consider my Friday made!
I generally don't like listening to music not sung in English, but your voice is so smooth that I can't help but love your version of this song.
I'm straight but this man makes me think twice. What a legend!
Amazing voice 🤩
This is absolutely Beautiful!
If I could become instantly fluent in any language of my choosing I think it’d be Irish
just wanna say i absolutely love you your voice and how much effort you put into these covers
can you give us your best creep - radiohead? i feel like you can absolutely nail it in your own original way
Absolutely Fabulous🎉
As usual, perfect !
Gorgeous cover.
I love your content so so much!
Do you speak this language, or translate and memorize? If you do speak it, did you grow up with it or learn it as an adult? So beautiful! Please keep sharing with us! ❤
He’s Irish, he does know the language
@@Skyebright1 that’s so cool!
Haha I only recently was shown this song by a friend! Glad you covered it and everyone knows Gaelic makes everything better!
That was awesome! The choose of the volume and the syncron with the flutes. I just dropped my mind. This language is beautiful, i would hear that in hours. Stay so creative, Colm! We love you.
Can you sing in Irish the Fairy Tale song from Alexander Rybak, please?
Dear God that was amazing!
Wow this is wonderful
