What an amazing song and wonderful rendition. Compare it to more contemporary songs and you can see why it has kept, and will keep, it’s beauty and popularity. Timeless.
The hairs on my neck have only turned up once in my life and i am 81 now it was when judith sang her unique version of danny boy if there has ever been a better voice on the planet i have never heard it a lovely down to earth lady as well. The greatest gift i will give is judith will be singing danny boy at my funeral her voice is the greatest i can leave on my final journey thank you judith for sharing your amazing voice with the world
You are so right, (you're a angel, fly forever) RIP, JUDITH, Condolences, FAMILY, and the her band family, The Seekers, and the fans. God bless you all!
Only Judith Durham can sing this song this way. Even if you're not Irish you cannot help to be overcome by her beautiful voice. She is greatly missed by those of us who had the privilege of hearing her angelic voice. RIP, Judy, you brought joy to millions.
"Through violence, you may solve one problem but you sow the seeds for another.".... Dalai Lama Wars = countless of Danny Boys didn't make it back homes = taking lives unnecessary/killing = violence. Is there any war which has ever brought about everlasting PEACE? Whenever there is an action, there is an equal re-action and we have to held responsible. How many times must a man wakes up before he realises that he is killing his own brother and sister, father and mother, son and daughter. Let us cease fire and wage PEACE to bring about harmony within and without.
'course, there's not likely to be a time 'when summer's in the meadow, AND the valley's hushed an white with snow". Beautiful voice though. I have loved Judith since I was a child.
I was just thinking of this performance and I forgot you put this out and it literally gives me goose bumps!! I absolutely love your musical selections!!
Sunryse 111 thank you so much for posting this. I didn't even know Judith did this beautiful song (melody). It's right up there with Eva Cassidy's version. I'm checking out all your videos and I love the variety of music. I'm really glad I just discovered you on youtube. II hope you have a a good day (sunshine).
Selbst schon 65 , ist diese Stimme ein Teil meines Lebens, fast Ähnlichkeit mit Peter, Sue und Marc. Sie ist einfach nur fantastisch und wird die Welt ärmer machen. Es gibt zu wenig Menschen wie sie.
Try the Londonderry Air ............ Londonderry Air Lyrics Would God I were the tender apple blossom That floats and falls from off the twisted bough To lie and faint within you silken bosom Within your silken bosom as that does now! Or would I were a little burnish'd apple For you to pluck me, gliding by so cold While sun and shade you robe of lawn will dapple Your robe of lawn, and you hair's spun gold Yea, would to God I were among the roses That lean to kiss you as you float between While on the lowest branch a bud uncloses A bud uncloses, to touch you, queen Nay, since you will not love, would I were growing A happy daisy, in the garden path; That so your silver foot might press me going Might press me going even unto death
I had a friend called Margaret Buckley. Once went to a party at her house. One of the other guests was Pauline Matthews (who became Kiki Dee). Nice to meet you, Margaret.
❤ Wish I could find a version where the music followed the singer, rather than the singer following the music. There are phrases here that are unnaturally rushed in places that actually needs to suddenly slow down, even have the music briefly pause in two places.
@@sunryse111 That is incorrect, the Ballad was written by Englishman Fredrick Weatherly upon hearing about the death of his son, nothing to do with Ireland or any uprising.

Judith is my own #2 all-time favourite female singer (after Dusty, who is my #1).
Georgie you said it best!
R.I.P. Judith Durham

Beautiful. So very moving ❤
There are few voices or songs that stir the love and emotion that Judith Durham does, singing "Danny Boy".
Few indeed!
o
Its odd how never meeting a super talented and very beautiful woman can affect your life, Judith was that person for me!
Danny Boy is without doubt one of the most classic songs of all time and nobody does it more justice than
Judith Durham. RIP dear lady.
what a lady she is by far the best female singer of the 20th and 21st century a perfect voice a beautiful lady and someone everybody loves
Nope but she she up there at the top. And one of my favorite singers.
This song gets to my soul deep in my soul
Nice comment. Thank you, Chistina.
I ❤this song
This is one of my favorite songs ❤
Beautiful. My Danny died on 22 Nov 2011. I miss him so.
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, the tears were rolling down my cheeks. God Bless.
☘️😢☘️
The best version of Danny Boy I'loved.
Beautiful song sung by a beautiful Lady!
This rendition made me cry, I never knew this song could be so powerful and I already thought it was.
The best among the many.
Durham has one of the best pitch perfect voices of the past 60 years.
the best
the worst
dont take this offensively but i dont like her music
I do believe her name was Judith.
I love this song ❤❤
My favorite song i❤the song
Great 👍 song
what a voice judith durham has i love listening to danny boy by judith :--jc
One of my all-time favourite female singers. For me, second only to Dusty Springfield.
morning town ride & kumbaya was first single I got for my 2nd birthday in 1964
She has an amazing voice perfectly suited for this marvelous, deeply touching song. Once in a lifetime performance.
i like her singing this song she does it justice to this irish classic well done judith durham
Danny Boy is an English classic not Irish, written by English lawyer Fredrick Weatherly who never set foot in Ireland.
I keep coming back to this rendition, so very special. Makes me cry but also gives me strength. Thank you Judith. You are a sweet soul.
Lovely comment, Barbara - thank you.

I’ve always thought it was a song to a son, headed for America, emigrating, not going to war.
Beautiful voice clear and soaring brought a tear to my eye.
Nice 👍 song ❤
¡What divine voice! As we imagine, she sang like an angel. She makes me happy. Sincerely,
The best version ever! 👍❤
I'm in tears 😭
Beautiful, we miss you so much, Judith. For we know we may never find another you.
Sometimes when I hear something special I have a tear in my eye, this is on of those moments.
HOW IS THIS NOT FAMOUS
Good point!
She was very popular with the groop the seekers in her time.
She has a beautiful voice
Just beautiful

Wonderful Irish song

English ballad written by Fredrick Weatherly upon the death of his son.
Rest in peace, requiesce in pace, Judith Durham.

Would God I were the tender apple blossom
That floats and falls from off the twisted bough
To lie and faint within you silken bosom
Within your silken bosom as that does now!
Or would I were a little burnish'd apple
For you to pluck me, gliding by so cold
While sun and shade you robe of lawn will dapple
Your robe of lawn, and you hair's spun gold
Yea, would to God I were among the roses
That lean to kiss you as you float between
While on the lowest branch a bud uncloses
A bud uncloses, to touch you, queen
Nay, since you will not love, would I were growing
A happy daisy, in the garden path;
That so your silver foot might press me going
Might press me going even unto death
wow.
Magnificent
Beautiful and sad
So true .

二戰名曲一但打戰有去無回
any1 else get voice gets stuck and yodels or wistle-notes at "its ill be here" when try sing this?
Lovely. But the best version I’ve ever heard is Nana Mouskouri’s .
Is there anyone who knows in which year she sang this song? Thank you very much for your information.
I think it was 1968.
Brazil
Do you know when this was recorded?
Brian Ward ‘64
1968, it's a live recording for a TV special called "An Evening With Judith Durham" made by Channel Nine.
Are the pipes calling him to war? In which case he might well not come back at all?
It is believed that the lyrics are a parents' words to their son who is going off to war in the Irish Uprising (1916).
