I adore that the protagonist of this song is such a cheerful soul that he puts up with having all his possessions stolen and being made to sail the Irish Sea in a literal pigsty, but as soon as he hears English people badmouthing Ireland he goes ballistic.

my mother listened with me and asked: does he breathe at all? now I'm wondering how many breaths were cut from the song... but it was just as magical and wonderful as Irish - as ever! also can't wait for the album!
He strikes me as a vocalist who has just mastered his breathing, I wasn't a vocalist in school but I did play brass. Combined breathing is essential for professional vocalists and minimizing the sound you make while doing so is also a separate matter entirely, if you watch closely you can see him taking breaths almost as soon as he gets to an S sound, that's a very easy way of hiding the breath behind a sharp sound. It just makes his technique even more impressive when you notice it!
Amazing breath control and a good microphone gate can cut breathes out. Maybe some audio equalizing can remove those frequencies, but of course tech can only go so far. Colm is just that good.
He could be inhaling through his nose while singing. Incredibly hard to do, but if you have enough practice its possible. I did it a couple of times while in my high school band. On accident mostly but when adrenaline kicks in its easier.
I love how the banjo is used for exactly two types of music and both are equally looked down upon by the country of origin, Irish shanties that originated from bogger Irish peasants and blue grass that originated from Irish immigrants that were equally bogger and eventually developed Southern accents and started getting very fermillar with their cousins and such
getting familiar with their cousins so much for not looking down on the genre. You sure you ain't from this part of the country, you can't even spell familiar correctly.
This is amazing! "Rocky Road to Dublin", is one of my favorite Irish folk songs. Listening to your original cover of it, and your cover of "Star of the County Down" , helps keep me sane on the craziest of work days.
You know you got something great when you can sing in a voice deeper than that of 99.99% of the population. And that's not even mentioning his high notes and fantastic range. (7,948,118,521 total world population approximate as of May 2022, and 0.0001 percent of that is around 7,900ish people) Presuming of course that I didn't mess up the math, which is definitely possible. I welcome anyone to double check the math, and criticism if I got it wrong.
@@KBaiL I haven't listened to Geoff's performances half as extensively as I have listened to Colm ngl, but if you were to recommend a few songs from Geoff I'd listen to them. In my opinion however, having heard Geoff's performance of Misty Mountains, I wasn't as impressed as I was with Colm's Misty Mountains (in Dwarvish/Khuzdul).
@@KBaiL maybe deeper but less powerful than him. colm has an unusually deep timbre and powerful voice that even basses like Geoff or Tim don’t have in my opinion
The lyrics for those who are waiting for the cover to upload: In the merry month of June from me home I started Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!

So nice i admire the softness you share with song however like it much when you at occasion roar like the great lion.respect.much love..one love..praise to the HIGH KING.
My 20 year old daughter is so in Love! LOL.. She's going to kill me if she see's this. I was just introduced to your music. Amazing talent and our favorite tunes! Keep up the amazing work! God Bless!
That was bloody brilliant! Best solo cover of this song I have ever heard, no question.. I have heard so many of your performances, and this is definitely up your alley.. Keep up the fantastic work! Cheers from Denmark..
I didn't even see it yet but I'm already sure that it's going to be amazing!! I adore this song and your voice! You already made my day, I can't wait! 😍❤️
STOP MAKING ME WANT WHISKEY AT NOON COLM
You just named our country album…

i should agree, but music too D** good.

YUP, its amazing
*This is the Way.*
Common enemies is the only reason the Irish never exterminated each other.
@@LonersGuide Um. You're kidding, right? The IRA? The Catholic VS Protestant conflict is still very much a thing.
Because they're English. No one liked English Bretons
The masculine urge to listen to Colm asap
This man gives nothing but passion every time he sings. I love it.
Well, that's hardly singing, but you do you.

I LOVE THAT
im actually German but this just sounds AMAZING
my mother listened with me and asked: does he breathe at all?
now I'm wondering how many breaths were cut from the song...
but it was just as magical and wonderful as Irish - as ever!
also can't wait for the album!
He strikes me as a vocalist who has just mastered his breathing, I wasn't a vocalist in school but I did play brass. Combined breathing is essential for professional vocalists and minimizing the sound you make while doing so is also a separate matter entirely, if you watch closely you can see him taking breaths almost as soon as he gets to an S sound, that's a very easy way of hiding the breath behind a sharp sound. It just makes his technique even more impressive when you notice it!
Actually, if you check out some of his older videos, you can hear some breathing. Even so, it doesn't really change the quality of the music.
Amazing breath control and a good microphone gate can cut breathes out. Maybe some audio equalizing can remove those frequencies, but of course tech can only go so far. Colm is just that good.
If you look at some The High Kings lives you'll see the whistle dude just never visibly inhaling at all
He could be inhaling through his nose while singing. Incredibly hard to do, but if you have enough practice its possible. I did it a couple of times while in my high school band. On accident mostly but when adrenaline kicks in its easier.
I love how the banjo is used for exactly two types of music and both are equally looked down upon by the country of origin, Irish shanties that originated from bogger Irish peasants and blue grass that originated from Irish immigrants that were equally bogger and eventually developed Southern accents and started getting very fermillar with their cousins and such
🤯 I always wondered about this!
The two best music genres
getting familiar with their cousins so much for not looking down on the genre. You sure you ain't from this part of the country, you can't even spell familiar correctly.
As a Half-Scottish American, Good day to you my Irish brothers!
A rehash of Rocky Road to Dublin?? Ohhhh man, i'm so looking forward to this!!!
God I can't stop listening to this mans music.
Long life Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤ 🇷🇴 hope you will take your lands back
I was drinking a beer when I clicked on this. It turned to whiskey.
The pride I feel, the Irish in me dancing! Thanks for the amazing song
Another good pub song . It will have them all singing . More table thumping . Let the beer flow.

I’m a bit surprised it’s taken this long for you to do this song.
Can’t wait!
Hasn’t he already done this one?
@@r-ry9849 Don’t think so.
@@r-ry9849 It's a re-done version for my album coming out. I also remastered some of the older Irish tracks I've done for it, too!

That's amazing irland song 🇮🇪🍻☘️
Thanks for this.
This is what I needed today, a perfect Irish song from Colm. Day: so much better now.
Love your music Colm! I always look forward to your next song
Can you make a cover of Spanish Ladies please? That’s one of my favourite shanties 😁
Seconded.
Third

What a lad
Cool. As always. 👍
DiScOmBoBuLaTe!
One of the best versions of one of my favorites from my childhood 💚💚💚
Not any can beat irish music
I swear there isn’t a single song that I haven’t added to my playlist to listen to while just doing whatever.
Love it, very spot on. I can do it myself! But in a southern accent, lol. Wish I could make a cover.
I've always loved The High Kings version on this song. Can't wait to hear yours!
The High Kings have what I will always consider the definitive version of this song. That said, Colm's version was really good!
This is going to be good! Colm I would love to hear 'the fields of athenry'
YES PLEASE COLM PLEASE DO FIELDS OF ATHENRY YOY WOULD KILL IT
Yessssss
How are y'all doing today!
Great song, sweet rendition 😎☘
YES, GIVE ME ANOTHER EARWORM!
Eargasm
Just came back to that song few hours ago. What a coincidence 😅
Wonderful!!!
I think we would all love to hear the song " Valhalla calling me" the assassin's Creed song
mad respect, this song especially is so damn hard to sing right
As a pirate I appreciate this song and One for the Leaving for teaching me my numbers
It’s always a good day when I hear this song. The fact that you’ve finally done a cover of this song makes it an even better day. Thank you sir!
Album drop! Keep singing and take my money! 🤑🤑🤑🤑
Goddamn, this is perfect.
I ADORE this song! I already know your version will be an instant favorite.
Haha this was awesome. I love it.
Irish songs are great and powerful. When I hear Irish music, I need to dance. You are a great singer.
New Haircut! New Song! New Day! More Irish!!!!!
One of my all time favourites being sung by one of the all time greats.
One of my favorite songs!! :D What a beautiful rendition!
HE HAS INTENSE POWERFUL BASS ... LOVE U COLM😀😀😀
I love your music
Pardon me while I dance along Irish gotta Irish! Awesome job thank you for this one!
I'd love to hear a cover of Can't Go To Hell by Sin Shake Sin if you'd ever get a chance! keep up the good work regardless, you got so much talent!
Colm is a gifted singer…such passion
Happy St. Patrick's Day 2024
I've got the biggest grin right now, and my toes are tapping! Love it, and looking forward to the album!
You should check out some of the works from the Derina Harvey band, I especially like excursion around the bay, the last shanty, and the last Saskatchewan pirate!
this one's going into my Sherlock playlist
Been waiting for this one mate
I'm a simple Colm fan, I get notified he posted, I like the video, then I watch his artistry unfold a few times over
My favorite thing to look for at this point is for some reason just seeing how you will dress per instrument or voice
Another Irish Classic! Awesome! Hopefully I’ll be back from school in time to meet y’all ❤️
Beautiful!!!
My favourite song of all time by one of my new favourite artists. Much love from germany Colm, cheers!
