As an old man sometimes thinking about all the loved ones you have said goodbye to gets overwhelming. This song sums it up.
🥃
As a young man (27 yrs old) who recently lost my dad 4 months ago to the day, I feel as if my dad would’ve loved this song. I’m gonna stop by and play this song for him sometime.
Sending a virtual hug, old man.
Especially when your young still
God is with you ❤. I LOVE this song!
"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes..."

Ahhh at last Blackbeard!!!

AC 4 fan here
May Jesus Christ smile his blessings upon you Billy boy.
That pure silence while he’s singing... not just the mark of a talented artist, but a powerful choice and a connected, respective audience. Captivating all the way around
Did you miss the part where he held a finger over his mouth to signal that he wanted to sing alone?
@@Bangalangs ah, thanks for pointing that out.
this song gets me every time. he sang it beautifully. have you heard hozier cover it? it's incredible as well!
That silence was the best part.🙄
@@Bangalangs should have put a sock in his mouth
A friend of me died way before his time, we played this at his funeral. It was pouring badly. Heaven was crying too. . . Had a shelter, and a bonfire going.
A pinboard where everybody left a picture of him his for his 2 year old daughter and a 16 year old Lagavulin Whisky pass around. . . I miss you badly Jan!
❤️
He had that audience from the very start of those lyrics...you could hear a pin drop amongst those people...Ed Sheeran is and always will be one of the greatest artists to bless this planet
Agreed brother
LOVE HEARING HIM DO HIS IRISH AND SO BEUTIFULLY DONE💚💚
He performed this at one of his concerts I was at and oh wow! The acoustics were just amazing, the room was silent in mesmerisation. Amazing!
It’s crazy how this has been viewed a million times and yet it’s only been “liked” 9.5 thousand times.
This song and message is beautiful.
It's a hard journey to push through. If you are listening to this song it's because you have lost someone you love. Tapping that like button through all the tears is a tad rough.
We Irish love to sing/play this song but it's actual we have our brother and sister Gaels in Scotland to thank for it! Go raibh maith agat/Taphadh leat don an ceol iontach sin, Gealach na hAlba!
Michael Peter Smith tells a story where his friends went to Ireland and heard The Dutchman being sung. So, they went up after to tell them they were friends with the songwriter, and the singer says 'no, you must be mistaken, that's an old Irish folk tune.'

When a Brit steals art they lock it up in a big museum. When a Celt steals art, the owner still has it, but Ireland does too.
Aye was written by a Scot to be sang at his own funeral. Imagine not trusting your mates song writing abilities so much you write your own funeral song!
What was beautiful about this performance was the audience. They listened to the message being sung, and they respected and beautiful and traditional song. It's a nice change from girls screaming when they hear a high note.
So in your opinion only girls scream at concerts 😑
REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
@@zafitianacissy4091 girls scream, guys holler/yell sooo..... yeah.
Amen brother.
he did put his finger up to shush them right at the start in fairness
This still makes me so happy to see. You don't see songs like these done very often on any big platforms aside from artists like Celtic Woman, who in my opinion don't get half the recognition they deserve. I absolutely love Ed!
This song speaks to my heart and blessings to Ed for bringing it ❣️.
That was one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Heart wrenching. Sending this home to Ireland to my Mammy who has lost too many too soon.....the last few years have been unbearable, but we who remain behind always send them a "Parting Glass". 💚
Same here. Bless you cara. 🙂
Hang on to your mammy as long as possible. Wish my mammy was still here to hear this, however no matter what our struggles are we will always send you off with a glass and well wishes
@@bcking622 💚 Thanks for your kindness Brian & Bless you too.
@@Irishlassie6789 My condolnces on the loss of your Mammy, as we grow through life and live & learn we understand more each day what true faithful friends we have in our Mothers. For those lucky enough to have had them, a loving close family is a wonderful blessing. There really is no love like the unconditional love of our family who rear us & need us in their lives ... They are as necessary to our
wellbeing as the air we breathe, and life is never the same again without them. 💚
You got it wrong - It's a traditional Scottish song. Was the most popular song in Scotland before Robert Burns came along and wrote Auld Lang Syne. But yes, it's sung in Ireland as well.
This song may very well be a Scottish song. However, if you delve into your ancient Scottish history you'll find that the 'Scots' actually came from Ireland. The Picts (the original Scottish people) lived in what is now Scotland before the Scots arrived there. The Scots (the Romans called them 'Scoti') arrived from Ireland in the 6th century AD, to colonize and Christianize. Over time they defeated and eventually assimilated with the Picts.
Thank you was waiting for this comment ❤
@@briancoffey5568 ah the usual supposed historical justification nonsense when something people think of as Irish turns out to be Scottish
I have seen it for Mairi's wedding , come by the hills ,Rambling rover,etc etc
I have even seen justifications for Caledonia, The gael and english songs such as Dirty Old town
all a bit desperate when Ireland has so many brilliant songs of her own !
@@briancoffey5568 It's our song. No more brother wars
@@mcgrudo Agreed!
We Miss You Edward Kenway The Best Character In History in AC.
Yes man you know it what a game what a song
Easily the best Assassin's Creed character. That game was immense is one of my favourite games of all time not just within the series
And Ezio is a fisherman? Ezio is quite easily the best protagonist of any Assassin's Creed game
@@ScottR08 *2nd best
You ain’t lyin
My brother sang 'The Parting Glass' at our mothers' funeral.
Beautiful
May your mum rest in eternal peace,
May your Mum rest in peace and your brother keeps his strength ♡
Sang it at a funeral recently, just one of those songs. Condolences to you and your family.
Does it matter if song is Scottish or Irish - the ascots were an Irish Gaelic speaking tribe that came toPictland Later the Puritans Calvinists and Presbyterians banned all music in Scotland
I'm so happy that this song would be a part of his album
Which album please
@@kiriscrivener +. Its included at the end of his song, give me love.
This guy respected a beautiful song of sentiment,with a beautiful voice!!
Wow. Ed has such a fantastic voice.
Beautifully sung and so awesome to see an audience blown away and listening. Show this to any of his doubters.
Yes I am a so called doubter anx it is pure unadulterated shite!
yeah... I don't think he has the voice to make parting glass heartbreakingly beautiful. Seriously though, look for other versions of parting glass... It can be 1000% more beautiful than this.
Perfect lip sync!
Beautifully sung Scottish folk song !
I’m from Ireland and it’s a very popular song here, but your right it’s a Scottish song!
Oh tank you! All over UA-cam I see "Irish folk song" this kills me.. This is SO scottish

Thanks mate.
flinttropic HE DRINKS DAMNATION
Aye
Kaneway? Really?
Everytime i hear this song im just shaking. Its incredible
You should hear Hozier singing this.
Absolutely beautiful, from Dublin, Ireland 💙💚❤️✊🏻
A toast to our friend Bill this St Patrick's Day. May the road rise to meet you and the sun be always at your back. This one's for you. Rest in Peace.

The song is traditional Scottish. The version we know now was written by Robert Burns.
While I appreciate the harmony that many groups make this song into, I think the solo form is the best way to render it. This is a fantastic rendition, a single strong clear voice, with only sporadic/sparse accompaniment.
No its not. Its pure and utter shite!
Check his Wembley performance on this song, in my opinion it is the greatest cover of the parting glass! That being said this version captures the authenticity of the song itself!
@@manlikemorty3419 Oooo that's very nice, thanks! the acoustics of the stadium really help fill out the song. screaming audience-members are a bit of a detraction, but that'll happen with mass audience live recordings, stadiums just lend themselves to raucous activity.
Honestly, Sheeran is a good singer, but he tries to vocalise it too much for my taste. My personal favourite version is ua-cam.com/video/wzLuS-OOrO0/v-deo.html , it helps that the older voice fits the song better, imho of course.
@@manlikemorty3419 have you listened to the Assassins creed version..
This is a gorgeous piece. I sang it two years ago with my choir and it really connects with people. It reminds us why we need to keep our heads up, although the message is very much mourning all that was lost. It reminded us that we were still there, and we understood. My choir program is a family of sorts, and this rendition just made me to remember how appreciative I am
The song will always be greater than the artist . It's an Irish thing ☘️
Apart from its Scottish..
It's a Celtic thing! ❤
Rest easy Big Unk. This one hurts for sure. No words to express this shit but this song comes as close as it gets.
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all.
Absolutely unreal, so well done,
Reared on this song , knew the words at 6 years old ...god bless you Dad 💚
I just lost a friend to cancer and I didn't get to say goodbye. It haunts me ❤. This song soothes my soul. Thank you Ed. Love you always 💞!!
Can't believe I'm on my way to Manchester at 5pm tonight to meet him tomorrow, then back to glasgow to see his concert at the Hydro on Thursday! Raw talent.
Man sings with all his soul even though he can't possess a soul, us gingers can't have em.
I love this song....and I love how Ed sings it!
Really!! You need an ear transplant
@Thomas TCS No! 😁
Hauntingly beautiful !
Beautiful rendition
What a beautiful song, wonderfully sung by ED.
I love this. The whole concert was amazing
Good to see the younger brothers engaging in history.
For Steven Dunbar, my love, it breaks my heart you are gone but I raise this glass to you and for you always.
One of those songs, it speaks to people who’ve lost. Condolences to you.
Brilliant rendition.
Wow, he carries that message perfectly xxxxx
I know enough about Ed Sheeran and this song to know he definitely delivered it.
Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
Jordan Tropila 😢
As good as this version was I prefer Freddie White's version on RTE.
Beautiful thank you for giving the lyrics
Thank You above all the rest, for the lyrics. Now I can sing it away, also!
How little they new!
This song is amazing.
Wow the vocals on this song are perfect 🤩
Irish man here saying that low key, it's kinda Scottish tho. But I love that the degree to which the Celtic experience is shared allows song to be shared with such ease.
Not to be annoying, but the song originated in Scotland not Ireland :)
I tear up every single time I hear this ...
he does not fail to amaze me with is talent. Thank You Ed.
Beautiful rendition. Thanks for the post.
Ed has Irish heritage. The Parting Glass is a iconic Irish song. He sang this with his beautiful voice and love.
its actually Scottish
If you understand the words Slainte Mhath mo deartháir, then it’s your song too in my humble opinion. Slan go foill my friend
It's Scottish, and he is English. Unless you're born or reared here you're not Irish. I'm sick of him cos playing Irishness when it suits him.
I LOVE ALL ED'S VERSIONS OF THE PARTING GLASS.
I can hardly listen to this enough A thousand times!
I have this saved in a playlist, and today, for the first time after hearing it dozens of times before, it’s emotional listen for some reason... Ed has a talent that has tentacles of its own and I doubt he even realizes it🐾🌻
The Goosebumps I have seeing this is unreal.
Incredible ❤️❤️❤️
I want this Song to be played at my Funeral❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! ❤️
This is a beautiful song first time hearing this
wow, just wow, this guy is for real!
Thank you Ed for bringing this trad tune back into popular North American culture . Beautiful xo
He’s so great
This is a traditional SCOTTISH ballad, before Auld Lang Syne was written it was sung at Hogmanay ( New Year ) celebrations, funerals and bittersweet partings “ Good night and joy be with you all “
Life in 3D knock this song out of the ballpark!
I couldn’t agree more.
So goood
Good man, Ed. You are much much more than the pop star you currently are. I look forward to you growing into a statesman of music in your hinter years.
very excellent , thanks!
Simply "wunderbar" !!!!
Great Irish trad.folk-tune !
Pefect sung by one of the finest singer and songwriter
on this planet !!
Thanks for upload this jewel!
B.L.,Germany
Scottish actually
that guy at 2:20 was so into it
It probably touched him in a really powerful way
Who wouldn’t be?
Thats me in my room 😂
I do not know if this was played in Ireland but for Irish people this is a very important song various reasons.
Yeah he's faking being an Irishman or a European, he'll be sure to release a slopped and chopped remix on his soundcloud the next day
Sang it well , because he sang it from the heart , a lesson to all singer,s, I have seen lesser singer,s not on this occasion , have a small audience in shreds , because of heart 😊
2:20 the part where the guy is singing along is so emotional
So emotional it made me cry. Cried listening to utter shite music. Come on get s grip. There is better music on your doorstep if you cared to support your local musicians.
He was a local musician once. That’s exactly how he got where he is.
This was soo good
Absolute chills.....😍
Really! Poor you. Turn on the heating you cant be cold.
Prefer Freddie whites version
Amazing ❤❤❤🍀
Respect from an Irish sister to an Irish Brother! Also respect to the ppl listening in silence!
Ngl him retiring with this song would be so unforgettable
Devastating cover. Ed captured the purity and emotion of this song without compromising its integrity. It's a hard one to pull off, believe it or not; because of the weight it carries. It's a funeral song, a party song, a bedtime song, and an anthem. Well done, lad.
Very nice Ed
A pin drop. Glorious.
This is perfect
Perfect..
what a beautiful,stripped back performance,Ed at his best
Beautiful
que perfeito! que paz! que amor!
This man loves his Irish roots and seems to understand them......for that alone I love him.......but he's incredibly talented
Sweet voice ever.
Love this
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
[Verse 2]
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
[Verse 3]
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
Epic performer👍👍😟
Amazing he is..
The entire team at Fry's misses you Jeri lynn, We will never forget you and we miss you. Frys 474 forever.
The Parting Glass es una canción de amor por aquella o aquel que ha decidido partir y subir a la barca de la vidamuertevida gracias gracias gracias
I love you Ed Sheeran 😍
This is actually a Scottish song, originally.
Not a traditional Irish song, but a Scottish one..... Keep up people.
Irish rebel song about Loss. Was carried to Scotland and USA.
Irish, and Ed sings in Irish when he comes home, which is quiet often.was carried to Scotland Canada and USA over the years
@@johnoconnell2446 The origins of The Parting Glass can be found in Scotland. A version of the lyrics was known at least as early as 1605 with variations and fragments appearing in various songs down through the centuries. The melody was first collected in 1782
@@johnoconnell2446 Nope … this is a Scottish ballad adopted by the Irish among others, we ( Scottish) are happy to share this with anyone who feels it’s heart wrenching love.
"To say nothing is true, then why believe anything?, to say everything is permitted, then why not chase every desire?"
I'd say it's very hard not to like Ed, I think the guy is great light it up if you agree 👍
