When I was in high school I was in our elite, all men's, choir. We sang this for one of our last concerts. Even got some bagpipes to come in at the end. Great song
This glass is for you, Grandma and Grandpa (Dad’s side)… And this new one is for you, Grandpa (mom’s side, a second dad to me by my heart), Uncle Walt (my 100% Irish uncle), and Uncle Bob… the unexpected 2021 tax… I love and miss you deeply. Who is your glass for tonight, folks? Merry Christmas💚💚💚
This was one of my grandads favorite songs. He sang it a few days before he suddenly passed. I go to his final resting place every year on his birthday and sing this.... its a beautiful song. Ill see you again someday Papaw.
If I made a Halo TV show, songs like this would 100% feature in it between ODST’s, remembering a Buddy, Squadmate, Brother in Arms. Also, I want this to be played at my funeral.
I actually never realized he passed away....and a couple of days ago I was looking for new Thunder songs, and the title of the song was R.I.P George....And this song...I broke down. Just.....realizing he'd risen, and this song on top of it hit so hard....
Happy Christmas to all who read my comment. Now let’s all enjoy this music and look back on this year with fond memories and enjoy a parting glass as a new year rolls on.
I've wanted this ever since I discovered Seth, and it's all I dreamed it would be! This was my Da's favorite song, and in his will he requested that I sing it for his eulogy. Miss you, Da.
Wherever you are. Wherever you come from. Wherever you do and whatever you've done. A belated Merry Christmas. I hope that the New Year is good to you all. Raise a glass to the jolly bard and part this year the way you want to start the new.
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)…
My we all drink for the people we have lost. For One day we all will be gone. So let us cherish the people we have. And remember the ones we have lost.
Absolutely brilliant rendition, mate. I’ve always loved the bittersweet poetry of this song, but your upbeat reimagining had me singing in the car by the end. Fine work, and merry Christmas.
@@sethstatonwatkins 😲You actually answered! I am so happy right now😊 Could you maybe someday do 'Free and Green' from David Kincaid? It's one of my favorites, next to your version of 'Only our rivers run free'☺️
I have heard many a version of this song out and about, but this must be the most beautiful one I have heard so far. Wish I had lads like you to sing with... All the best wishes from Germany.
Great rendition of one of my favorites! Just subscribed to your channel a few days ago- as soon as I first heard you sing! God has gifted you with a wonderful talent! Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year!
One of my favorite Irish folk songs a bitter sweet tune of an old working fellow near his end. Such beautiful and simple words. You really bring it alive as a somber celebration Beautiful just amazing
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.
Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company 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 mem'ry 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 And 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'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell unto 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 And gently rise and softly call "Good night and joy be to you all!" But since it fell unto 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 And gently rise and softly call "Good night and joy be to you all!"
Great song as always Seth, I’ve always loved Ronnie Drew’s version of this song. Now I’ve got another great rendition. Thanks! Could you consider doing Kelly the Boy from Killane?
You should do fogartys cove by Stan rogers, I’m a new sub btw loved the parting glass… unrelated but I sang this song to my girlfriend in my arms the night her mother died, and to myself when my friend passed away.
I'd love a cover of 'I'm gonna be 500 miles', this linked version I personally find to be the best, its by Celtic Thunder ruclips.net/video/rLqIujK-0qw/видео.html
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💜💜💜
@@menyou1443 I'm very sorry for your loss, I hope you can deal with it and I'm sure your grandpa and your uncle both are still proud of you. And I'm also very sure that your nice and nephew will say the same about you. I feel like you are a very wholesome person. Hugs.
@@knirps4851 I really try to be💚💚💚 I’m punished unbelievably for being kind… but I am anyway… The high road is a lonely view, and you’re often left out of all the love and fun, and care, and gratitude, but it’s ultimately worth it… tho you often feel worthless and you burn out all the time, keep climbing. 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. ♥
Merry Christmas to whoever is reading this
Merry Christmas!
And to you, a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas
And to you as well!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Germany🙂
Nollaig shona dhuit, y’beaut! ☘️
Hi Colm! Merry Christmas! Yee lads should do a song together, y'all would be amazing!
Aye Merry Christmas my friend!

This song will always remind me of my first play through of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. The ending still gets me to this day.
Aye, same for me.
“In a world without gold, we might've been Heroes!”
The only game to this day I've actually 100% the game. Definitely one of those I'd choose to play again like it was the first time.
100% Good luck,good health for 2023.☘💚🇮🇪👍
I love this song, I predetermined the first time I heard it, that it shall play at my funeral!
Good Choice!
Indeed a wonderful choice
Same here
@@lilconch Salud! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This brings me to a Time and place I've never been, but I remember,...I remember. 😪
This right here? This is why I have notifications on.
As a person who spent his whole childhood playng ACIVBF this song is as memorable as all sea shanty's from the game.
this song, Leave her Johnny and Bully in the alley were the best, cant wait to hear Seth cover those songs as well.
sang this at my grandfather's funeral.
revisit different covers now and then, just to sit and think.
this is a very good one.
thank you.
This was one of my grandads favorite songs. He sang it a few days before he suddenly passed. I go to his final resting place every year on his birthday and sing this.... its a beautiful song. Ill see you again someday Papaw.
This is the song that got me into this whole genre, so glad to hear your version Seth! Great job as always!
Glad you like it!

An absolute classic, and now I'm going to have watch the assassins creed version of it again.

Yes!!! This needs to happen

I love this song, it's one of my fovorites, and want that will be play in my funeral. Excellent song.
I enjoy your version, as it starts off solemnly, reverently, even sadly (as should be) but then is more uplifting... even "happy". Nicely done 👍
WHOO CHRISTMAS SETH RELEASE WE LOVE TO SEE IT
An awesome rendition of a traditional Irish song on Christmas, doesn't get much better than that
Yes! Been hoping for this one for awhile! Now I’m just praying for My Little Armalite next year.
What a lovely soothing and vibrant rendition Seth, this is truly beautiful!!!
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.

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)…
It was a superstition when you were gonna cover this. And I'm glad you did bud.
Cheers! A merry holiday season to you and everyone else here in the comment section!
This is it. This is the song I need at my funeral
I just want to say this genre and song is underrated but least you know those who love it appreciate it for value and joy.
Merry Christmas!!
I've been waiting forever for you to cover this one. Absolute chills from the emotions and memories it invokes. Merry Christmas!
Same to you!

Thank you for the Christmas gift Seth. Gonna be a good time singing this with my friends on the new year
Love this, and all of your beautiful Irish songs. I just subscribed. Many blessings to you.
I know its not irish, but i would literally start crying if you'd do a cover for Loch Lomond
One day!
I have heard many a version of this song out and about, but this must be the most beautiful one I have heard so far.
Wish I had lads like you to sing with...
All the best wishes from Germany.

Seth, double dare you. Sing "The Hero of Canton" and be a big damn hero. 😁
Incredible Performance! Lots of feelings without over-dramatizing!
FIRST YET AGAIN!
Excellent!
I’ll dedicate this song to my classmates after the final term😢🇮🇹💚🤍❤️. 💚🤍🧡 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇪☘️
Fucking hell yes! I waited for this song.
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
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 mem'ry 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
And 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'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto 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
And gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to you all!"
But since it fell unto 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
And gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to you all!"
Wow dude, epic
@seth please cover Rare Auld times & step it out Mary, high kings! Love your voice
Great song as always Seth, I’ve always loved Ronnie Drew’s version of this song. Now I’ve got another great rendition. Thanks!
Could you consider doing Kelly the Boy from Killane?
GAZA: THE LAST SHIMMERING LIGHT IN A WORLD SUBMERGED WITH DARKNESS ❤
Merry Christmas! Or should I say, based on the pendant, happy solstice?
Would you consider doing a cover of the maple leaf forever
♥️🇮🇪

Is this gonna be uploaded to Spotify ever??

Is it possible for one to contact Seth?
