  • The Parting Glass (Official Music Video) - Seth Staton Watkins
    One of the best and rightly most notorious Scottish (though very popular in Ireland as well) trad songs of all time, here finally, after many a request and OUT NOW ON ALL MUSIC PLATFORMS, is my rendition of The Parting Glass. This rendition was greatly inspired by The High Kings arrangement. Happy Holidays! Goodnight and joy be to you all, my dear RUclipsrs.

    Lyrics:
    Of all the money that e'er I had
    I have spent it in good company
    Oh and all the harm I've 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
    Good night and joy be to you all
    So fill to me the parting glass
    And drink a health whate'er befalls
    Then gently rise and softly call
    Good night 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 would 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
    Good night and joy be to you all
    So fill to me the parting glass
    And drink a health whate'er befalls
    Then gently rise and softly call
    Good night and joy be to you all
    But since it fell into my lot
    That I should rise and you should not
    I'll gently rise and softly call
    Good night and joy be to you all
    So fill to me the parting glass
    And drink a health whate'er befalls
    Then gently rise and softly call
    Good night and joy be to you all

    Who is your glass for tonight, folks?

    Would you consider doing 'Lies An Lurighan?' Its an old Scottish sea shanty that is about a brave captain navigating a terrible storm. The title phrase can mean either 'with Lurighan' or 'On The Lurighan' so there is some debate to whether Lurighan is the name of the captain or the ship. Either way its an epic song.

    To you, my love, who died too soon two years ago today… to you, my uncle, whom I pray did have no chance to suffer or be scared… you are Ireland’s son and never got to walk upon nor see her land; you didn’t have a chance to do so many things, yet your favorite niece will make it there someday with a piece of you in her whole yet broken heart… you were so proud to be her son. You never missed a chance to live in the day, in the moment, for the now… you ate all the treats and you spent all the cards; you bought me a souvenir cup in your posterity, as well…
    I know that you didn’t miss out on much, as you lived all the life, but I wish you hadn’t had to miss out on this, nor Ireland, nor my future novel on her history, nor my future husband, children, and made family, whoever they may be… you would accept and love them too, no matter how or who or what they were. I have always tried to live like that, and since that time, I’ve spent more time indulging instead of waiting for a perfect time; the perfect time is now-buckle up, eat that cookie, spend that money (in good company), drink that special drink, and make today a life worth living, a day worth missing, a heart worth hurting when you’re gone… grief means that you didn’t live in vain-and these days, these moments, these little treats, they all add up to why… I’ll try to remember that.
    Good night and joy be to you, Uncle Walt-
    May the road rise up to meet you; may the wind be always at your back; May the sun shine warm upon your face; May the rain fall soft upon your fields; and until we meet again, may God keep you in the palm of his hand…
    I love you, and I miss you, and I’ll see you in awhile. I fill this one to you tonight (but it’s probably going to be LiveWire instead as I have to work come tomorrow)…

      I’m sorry for your pain… I’m thinking of my grandpa too😭😭😭 and my uncle and my other. 2021 took three of the best men-three of the warmest and three of my favorites-completely unexpectedly… I never imagined how hard this would be… my grandpa was like a second dad to me as I don’t have that relationship with my own father (tho he is around). Nobody cares because I’m not his “real” daughter so I got brushed under the rug a lot, and minimized and called selfish for feeling in their presence. Not a single card or flower for me while the others were showered and showered. Not many sympathies. I hope your experience was not such. Your grief is real and valid… and important.
      My uncle was Irish and I hadn’t found this page yet (the day the Orange and the Green short was posted, the man had passed away because of an ATV) but actually was so broken that I couldn’t listen to Irish music (he was hardcore Irish with grandparents from Donegal I think? Cowhy) for a whole month maybe.
      And just before Christmas last year, my uncle Bob, only officially for ten years but he was with my aunt for longer than my life, so was an amazing uncle even when he didn’t have to be… loved me as his own… and I just hope my niece and nephew (by choice) say the same of me someday… I hope I too may do so well…
      I’m crying listening to this. Especially as I was just gifted one of my Grandpa’s favorite ties for Christmas…
      💜💜💜 I’m sure your grandpa is so proud of you… hugs💜💜💜

The high road leads to the top of the mountain! You only get one impact to make again and again-might as well make it a good one…
      And I am honestly so surprised but truly, truly value that you would take a minute of your time to think of me and encourage me-thank you, thank you, thank you… we need more people like you, too… 💜💜💜

      @@menyou1443 Dont worry for being punished by being kind, one day it will all will pay back. For me its normal to take some of my time for others to atleast help a little bit. And thank you very much for these kind words. ♥
