    I played this for my Dad (also named Peter) when you released it, and as a choir-singer he adored it, instantly saying he'd like that played at his funeral. He passed away on Monday after a long battle, and as requested, we played this at the church. I always felt this song spoke of the honour my Dad so casually wielded. It has always been, and will always be, my favourite of your offerings. Thank you, Peter.

      May your travels be short and may you always have the wind in your back, my friend. Your father sounded like a fantastic person. May he rest in peace.

    I just found out that a friend of mine from years back died today. I had to come back to this as a weird kind of goodbye to her. She was such fun and awesome person, and at 38, she died far too young. So, Devon, this parting glass is for you.

  •  10 лет назад +66

    Of all the money, e'er I had,
    I spent it in good company,
    And all the harm I have ever 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,
    Goodnight and joy be with you all.
    So fill to me the parting glass,
    And drink a health whate'er befalls,
    Then gently rise and softly call,
    Goodnight and joy be to you all.
    Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
    They're sorry for my going away,
    And all the sweethearts that e'er I had,
    They'd wish me one more day to stay.
    But since it fell into my lot,
    That I should rise and you should not,
    I'll gently rise and softly call,
    Goodnight and joy be to you all.
    Fill to me the parting glass,
    And drink a health whate'er befalls,
    Then gently rise and softly call,
    Goodnight and joy be to you all.
    Fill to me the parting glass,
    And drink a health whate'er befalls,
    Then gently rise and softly call,
    Goodnight and joy be to you all.

      I know! I have a good ear for detecting tones and chords, but these are odd in that I can't tell which notes make up the chord. I can tell that it is a harmony, but I can't tell what's in it. The chords are that perfectly tight, and it's that way with all of Peter's songs!

  • @SquareViking
    @SquareViking 8 лет назад +51

    After having read the comments and having listened to this rendition a good amount I'd say that some people are missing Peter Hollen's person completely.
    A rendition is NOT suppose to mimic the original, it's suppose to be a personal spin.
    "Knowing" Peter Hollens from his videos, I'd say that he'd take a parting such as this, a sombre sorrow, deep as rivers, with the same spirit he delivers this song: With teaming emotion, a quiet power and with celebration to the life lost, or chapters closed.
    Minus the traumatic sorrow suffered by Kvothe, I imagine Peter Hollens being a lot like him when he becomes Kote, the tavern owner.
    A small part of me hopes that Peter sees this to confirm or debunk this, alas I know it's been a long time since the debate died out.
    I raise my glass, to all of you.

    I'm 61 and of Irish descent. When I was age 6 the family dog died and an Auntie sang this song as my father buried him. Since then when my dogs die I drink a few drams and play the Clancy Brothers version. Teddy, Dinkum, Sherlock, Bobby, Cullen, Finn, Gadget, Gizmo, Bonnie loved you all and will meet again. Clyde and Jessie alive and kicking.

    You know, I love this song and I've heard a million different versions, but this is the first where it's not all sad - it's even happy.
    And I adore it!
    Coming out of the loss of a very dear family member, this song (especially this version) really strongly reminds me of her, and how she wouldn't want us to be sad. I'd like to thank you, Peter, for making this (even though it's over two years old). It seems I found it just when I needed it. :)

    Ever since my music teacher (a kindred spirit) moved away last May, this song has been constantly running through my head (brings me to tears every time I hear your version of this song; then again, when doesn't it ;) ); so soulful, melancholy, and despairing, but yet hopeful at the same time.

    I know it from The Walking Dead, Beth sang it over a camp fire one episode. It really resonated with me, and the tune stuck with me for a long long time until i heard it one night during a run in the rain on an Ed Sheeran album. I stopped and listened to the entire song. I swear it changed me somehow haha XD

    This is my very favorite song of yours, Peter. I listened to this on repeat as my newly adopted son and I traveled out of China, headed for home.

That said, later that same evening, I made my vows to her parents to cherish and protect their daughter and then used your version of this song to close out the wedding. Thank you for your talent. God bless.

  • @bradsimpson8724
    @bradsimpson8724 10 лет назад +9

    If you're a fan of the song, check out The Bard Of Cornwall doing his a cappella version of this song. A lot simpler, and more telling of the old Scottish(not Irish) roots of the song. Then, check out Ed Sheeran, who performed it for AC4. Also, Emily Kinney sang this in the Walking Dead(Season 3, I think). I think Peter's version is fantastic(I'm generally impressed with his work), but those are some other versions worth checking out.

    • @m_6866

      I stand corrected. Disclaimer: I've never actually picked up an Assassin's Creed game after the first(I didn't find it that great). It's posted here and there that Ed Sheeran did it. My mistake, thanks for catching it.

    it gets awkward for me when it comes to songs like this because most of my early life was spent at and is still spent at renaissance fairs, and whenever my friends that don't go to the fair find these songs from a game that i haven't played yet know the music of. They automatically assume I've played the game in question and i suddenly end up on the lonely side of a one-sided conversation
