no words can explain the beauty of this song
That's why it's a "song".
1:07 Goosebumps. Finbar Furey is one of Ireland's greatest ever musicians.
I can't think of one better.
Claddagh road ballyfermot dublin ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🎶👌🎇
sublime..the spirit of Ireland and the Irish sea's. A windy Irish night, wind whistles through the trees- makes me proud to be Irish and swells my heart every time I hear it.
Makes me proud of my heritage
Just play that again and let the frequency flow.
They never would have fooled so many with the lies from "Experts".
Finbar is an amateur professional just breathing Truth where lies matter.
One of my all time favourites.
A kite mark of beauty, heritage and everything great about life.
I intend to pass this beautiful frequency on to my only child who is 24 today.
Operation Shamrock ☘ 2024 is here.
Never get tired of hearing this. you can imagine the seagulls over the ocean when he plays the flute
It’s a whistle not a flute
I was imagining more of a cowboy v Indians scene
@UCHuqqhLQR9g_V_hRtEysl-w Ya it's a whistle you're a fucking flute
Finbar Furey what an absolute legend, musician and entertainer..
The thing I love about this song is that when finbar goes into minor off chords in the beginning you get a real sense of the seagulls and the waves crashing against the rocks. Love it
exactly.you get it.. perfection..
so talented love it
And all this time I thought he had two seagulls stuffed inside the bloody thing.
I'm a Ballyer lad myself and have always appreciated their music still think of Paul lord have mercy on him.
@@mrtbag2730 exactly! Lord have mercy on that good man, I've studied every scale and key there is, minor, major, augmented and diminished, this ain't no scale 😂😂😂 and it sure as heck isn't minor.
Trying to learn this tune at the moment in think it's the key of g definitely a bucket list in life 🙏🎼🎵
Proud to say that I'm a Greene and Irish from the heart of Ireland best wishes to all who love the The Lonesome Boatman 🇮🇪☘️
The quarter of me that is Irish (through maternal grandmother) soars earth and heaven at the sound of this...the other three quarters come willingly, too.
The most Haunting music i have ever heard, simply beautiful
Best musician in Ireland love him so much
NOT music to listen to before gannin to bed👻
There's nobody on the planet who could have played this better by Christ that was stunning.
Proud to be of Irish parents 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 beautiful finbar ❤️🙏
I agree with the previous comment, we should award finbar furey a lifetime achievement award for the beautiful music he creates. ☺️👍👍
This touchs every irishmans soul
Fireplaces with family , stories , poems, and music is what we were brought up on , ireland ,eire , love from liverpool , another irish city
I'm reading Sinead O'Connor's book "Rememberings" right now and she makes mention that Furey's "The Lonesome Boatman" is her favorite song. So glad she took me here to listen to this beautiful and, yes, haunting music! Love it!
Wow Sineads book just got delivered today.I too got to the part about The Lonely Boatman, and like you I went straight to watch Fibar Furey and his band play the song.Beautiful haunting tune .I can so understand her connecting to his music. Amazing
I’m reading it too and have just got to that part. Immediately looked this up. Wonderful. ❤
Me too...

Our Irish ☘️ spirit will never be broken 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Finbar is our national treasure ❤❤❤🇮🇪
Beautifully played ....no wonder half the world is Irish & the other half want to be...... cheers from Australia 😀
😂😂
fantastic musician, proud to be Irish far away from home.
This was my nana's favourite song and at her funeral my cousin who plays the flute played this and it was beautiful ❤
Ballyfermots most famous son what a genius he is legend 👏
The Furey's and Lam's chinese. Ballyer is some area, and I'm from the North side 😂
Irish. Scouse. Glaswegian. It's all the same. We are all brothers.
He makes that instrument cry, what a beautiful piece of music! Also I love the way he acknowledges the other musicians on stage with him.
The waves are lapping against my boat on lough erne, the curlew is calling out on devenish Island, and I am sitting at home listening to the great tune,"the lonesome boat man,played by the gifted Finbar Furey,like I'm on the lough,Fantastic
It makes me weep
Prime minister's question time makes me weep but not in the same way tim.
Finbar Furey heard seagulls by the sea and this is what he heard. A true artist of beauty.
This was played at my grandfather's funeral over 30 years ago, we were so close, when I hear this I cry miss him so much but when I hear this I know its him letting me know he is near looking after me
Finbar Fury is Gods gift to his people, a totally brilliant musician, storyteller, educators, adviser, historian, wordsmith and a man of the people, how lucky are we to have such brilliant people among us
Finbar puts so much Celtic Soul into everything he does.
Speechless!!! Reminds me of Pan's flute and Romanian Gheorghe Zamfir!
Greetings from Hellas!
I think he is playing a low D tin whistle,on the 3rd octave up,never realised you can do that with such control,a beautiful.evocative tone.And greetings from Kernow!
God bless you Finbar. xxx
Please give finbar a lifetime achievement award to honour him and his music and songs while he remains playing and singing he deserves this don’t leave it any longer
Irish soul music 🇮🇪🙏🏻
And so much more, a living Legend.

Totally fabulous and hauntingly beautiful... Living in Ireland is a magical experience and I feel blessed.
I’ll never have dry eyes when I listen to this 💚
When I play this and know whoever is with me doesn't know it,. I tell them to listen close and wait for the guy to start singing lol
This has just become my favourite version of this tune. Absolute enchanting
I heard Finbar play this in Galway 40 years ago. They turned the ligths down so it was almost pitch black in the hall. I'll never forget it.
Hit me right in the heart every time.... fantastic piece of music.....
Beautiful early bird catches the worm 🎉
I just cant praise this man highly enough..he is amazing..I get chills listening to him
Almost like gingernuts
History greatness made right there
IN LOVE with this piece of music and it makes me proud to be Irish!! it really captures the spirit and soul of what it is to be Irish- even if it was not called this it the lonesome boatman it would still remind me of the Irish seas on a windy night and the boat man alone at sea with his dreamy thoughts.......
this tune, words fail me!!!! just listen!!!
1 of my all time favorite pieces by the fureys....Truly amazing
Best tune out there I love it my 18 year old son loves it, it speaks to all hearts and all ages
Finbar is a genius
looks like jessie pinkman is his guitarist
Ter u go
Gewan ethan
My heart is in this song. Love Ireland. Celtic pride.
The Ultimate relaxing piece of music. You swear your on the sea rockin about on a small fishing boat on own. Finbar does it best but others do it justice too including his younger bros.
A tear to your eyes unbelievable what a musician 👏 ❤
certainly one of the best tunes of all times. ...reminds me now of happier times...
A beautiful haunting tune, it sends shivers down my spine
The heart and soul that goes into this song is just magical. You can picture yourself watching from the shore in Ireland while a small fishing boat smashes into the white horses (waves) whilst coming back to the harbour after a nights fishing the open seas.
ONE OFF THE MOST SPINE CHILLING GOOSE BUMPS SONGS FINBAR HAS WROTE AWSOME
Absolutely fantastic musical talent. The sound of the seagulls is 👌🏼 🇮🇪
Finbar....such an awesome talent. Thank you, Finbar.
Proud to be irish
Deadly tune and an even deadlier player, awesome piper too, being listening to this Man from Ballyfermot for almost all my life.. legendary..
only one finbar furey
Seen him a few times but the best was on his 50th birthday. I have huge respect for the man. A musical genius
Ah, my son. It doesn't get much closer to your sending off than this, does it. Those chills never go away and we are decades on now lad.
His fingers flow over those holes like water.
Holy water
Just magical 💚
He played this at Jim Stynes funeral last week in Rathfarnham, beautiful, captivating, riveting everything Jim was except he was so much more of course, great tribute by Finbar though.
Magic
Love the fureys big part of my familys life like to listen while travelin

Haunting! Ethereal! Language without words!
Awaken the warrior.
Awaken the soul.
We are all celts and we need to stand together..
A good man once said to overstand is to innerstand.
Together as one.
