- Jim McCann was a member of The Dubliners from 1974 to 1979. Returning to his solo career he had a huge hit with the song ‘Grace’ and released an album of love songs by the same name. This is one of the songs taken from that album and without a doubt Ireland's most famous song.
Had my grandmothers funeral about two months ago only six months after my grandfathers funeral and my father sang this song for my grandmothers funeral and had everyone in the church in tears.goodbye Nanny and Grandad love you😢❤️❤️❤️
This also played at my grandma's funreal today. It was very emotional...

Music is universal.
Perhaps its because Irish people are born wherever they want.😊
Beautiful voices ❤ He sang this song is one of the best! Thanks
A simple folk presentation of the song done nicely😊

This is a most beautiful song. My close friend of mine just lost her brother...his name was Danny this very special to her. Thanks

Its interesting how one person can sing a version of a song versus another..this was how Danny Boy is supposed to be sung..
Agreed
beautiful...beautiful...beautiful....
wonderfull James RIP
wonderful voice
My grandmother passed at 84 about 6 years ago, in a time that couldn't have gotten any worse for me with also having lost a girl friend (edit: even though we had not been talking for months already, it still stung all the same) shortly before that, and so even though September is my birth month, I feel some bittersweet memories from this month.
It is a very emotional one for me.
That said, neither my grandmother nor former girlfriend, were Irish or Scottish, both had this performed for their funerals.
I'd prefer to have "Time of your Life (Good Riddance)" by Green Day sung at my funeral, but this was all a very touching rendition that brought me back to those two tough times.
Still is a sweet but bittersweet song for me.
The guy who sang at both funerals was an older, kind Irish man and he also died recently. Of old age I believe.
Can you guess the song they used at his burial?
The very same one he sang for so many deceased people before.
Rip Dad
RIP my dad too xxx
Great Music!
Happy St. PATRICK day
damn it we went from this to bebop pung pung taung stuff
❤️
The line is: … “ and all my grave will warmer , sweeter be”
Shows how many different selections of lyrics are chosen from who knows what lyric reference ..... The phrase " ALL THE ROSES FALLING" is likely more accepted as in the next verse "FLOWERS DYING" is the often used ... and herein it is "LEAVES ARE DYING " - which I never heard of in any context - so quite liberal interpretation apparently. Best and most importantly - Jim McCann does a nice job in delivery and pace of the song ... accompaniment is well down as well. GBjj
A truly beautiful English song.
Ok
Irish
@@vestty5802 Danny Boy is a song .... who wrote the song? What nationality was he?
@@DukeLIngton is it written by an English man who based the song off the Irish melody londonderry air. The lyrics referencing “the pipes” and “glens” would also suggest and Irish setting too
Well ... I'm glad you finally worked it out!
This isn’t Irish at all, Danny Boy is an English song and so is Amazing Grace btw
I'm so wonderful
Easy Tony,
This song was written by an Englishmen over there hundred years ago an has Been rewritten and remade hundreds of times over.
Made famous worldwide by the Irish folk artist in 1917 ❤
@@mrburkescarpentryclassqhs5452 Means nothing at all mate and it doesn’t change the origins of the song, It wasn’t made famous by Irish folk singers at all, The Irish and Scottish seem to claim it as there national song for some weird reason when there’s no real connection apart from it’s been sung a few times from people from them countries, I agree it’s been sung time and time again by many different artist around the world but it was made famous by the fella who wrote it and sung it, If I asked you who sang Danny Boy you wouldn’t be able to answer cause soo many people everywhere have sung it same as if someone asked me who sang Danny Boy I’d say Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Jackie Wilson etc. cause in my opinion they made the best versions but it doesn’t make it an American song, You understand?
I really love it.❤
Who cares? We are all Anglos? Even if the irish wont admit it lol
I appears Jim was a west brit with his poppy
My partner Susie, for some reason hates this song... Sigh.... I just do not understand!!!...
She generally loves ALL Folk music/songs which I play as a Guitarist... except THIS one ???
Especially when the performer is the wonderful Jim McCann... sigh.....
I'm going to listen out of respect, but I HATE this song sooo much, I can't put my finger on exactly why, I think maybe it's too dull and droney. Each to their own and no disrespect at all to anyone to which this song is really important, in fact massive respect, but you know when a song feels like nails down a chalkboard LOL
Honestly try singing it for yourself sometime. The melody is basically perfect.
Worst song ever
