Phil Coulter - The Old Man

- First of many taken off Phil's 'Live Experience DVD'. This was a concert performed in Limerick on the 20th August 1996.
Nothing needs to be said about the piece; as I'm sure your all familiar with the history of it.
I do apologise for the watermark, part way through, but I've had to re-build my laptop and lost all my video copying/editing software, so I'm reduced to using an unlicensed version *shush, don't tell anyone LOL*.
Enjoy GC88.

I lost my father in December 2023, this was the song sang as he was lowered down. Poignant moment for me. Means the world to me. Thank you for this. Will stay with me all my life. “You watched me come into this world, now I watch you leave it” ❤️❤️
Beautiful song my dad would be 80 tommorrow he’s dead 19 months I miss him every day sleep well dad you were the best
my father died almost 3 years ago....I found this song ...my voice is broken now, can't barely talk..I remember a lot of things when I was a kid...
lost my dad on 28th March 2022 to cancer. this song is beautiful. it speaks so well of our relationship. he taught me to fish, hunt and to be honest, respectful and humble.
Sending love ❤
@@charliebyrne4350 thank you
My dad died 2 weeks ago following a short battle with cancer. I've listened to this for hours every day. We miss you so much dad !!!!
Baz McLaughlin I'm so sorry to hear. I'd be lost without mine. God bless
My most sincere condolences.
Dit is het afscheids lied van mijn opa zijn crematie
I am listening to it 11 years since
My father passed. Be strong baz. It gets easier but we never forget.
My Dad died 32 years ago. This song fits him to a tea! He was born in Ireland and loved his country home. I still miss him!
This is not just a song, it is a work of art. Am 31 today, yet I sob like a little boy every time I play this song. May God bless you, GlasgowCeltic88, for uploading this.
I lost my Dad in March 2021 and I play this a lot since his Death I miss him terribly from Suzanne of Deansgrange Dublin Ireland
This was played at my grandfathers funeral.I miss him xxx
I lost my mom a little over a year ago and in March my dad was diagnosed with ALS, which has no cure. So my thoughts are often about my father's mortality. This song absolutely has me in tears right now.
Played at a funeral for hero veteran of WW2 yesterday. Very emotionally touching.
My father would have been 83 today. I remember being young in the car with him listening to this in his father's honor. Funny how life goes sometimes. Have a great day everyone.
My dad is a legend... Like all the good dads..
This song played at a funeral I went to on Friday. Such a beautiful but sad song with great emotion on it
Me and the family went to see Phil counter live and my mother just happened to bump into him before he went live and asked him to play this song for my granda who struggle with physical and mental health and I didn’t believe her and he went ahead with singing it forever grateful Phil one of a kind u are 💚👌
This coming October will be 8yrs because of Cancer and I still miss him each and every day, some days more then ever. my father was everything to me.
Da s gone a few yrs and we had this at his funeral 6 yrs ago and I found it hard to listen back too for a few yrs but not now as it gives me comfort
thank you for taking me back to beautiful memories of my late dad.rip dad.i know your always with me as i feel your presencd everydao
THE OLD MAN
The tears have all been shed now
We’ve said our last goodbyes
His souls been blessed
He’s laid to rest
And it’s now I feel alone
He was more than just my father
A teacher my best friend
And He’ll still be heard
In the tunes we shared
When I play them on my own
(chorus)
I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man
As a boy he’d take me walkin’
By mountain field and stream
And he showed me things
Not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colours on the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
Or how to fish and make a wish
Beside a fairy tree
(chorus)
I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man
I thought he’d live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly
And the years roll by
For a father and a son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance
To tell him thanks
For everything he’s done
Oh, I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
God I miss him, the old man
Listen to this often I lost my old man a year and a half a go and the words are so true, see you in a bigger town big man.
Incredibly moving.I love the gentle,meaningful lyrics of Phil Coulter....they are so very special!
What beautiful sentiment, delivered in such a Special Way....!
This song goes to my granddad miss you so much hard to believe you are 13 years gone
I love Phil Coulter. He has given us so much with his beautiful, inspirational music. I've been lucky enough to see him live in concert and what a gentleman he is.
This song is dedicated to the memory of George Donaldson who used to sing this song in Celtic Thunder. RIP big George
I lost my Dad one month ago and this song expresses exactly how I feel. It's beautiful and painful all at the same time.
No one knows grief until it hits them in the face. Take the memories and treasure them xx
4 years since my dad joined the angels, still have a tear in my eye when I hear this. Beautiful.
I was so touched by this song, that I even dropped a few tears
Some time has passed since my old man died away, but
hell there is so much truth in these words.
"thought he would live for ever, he seemed so big and strong..."
Thank you very much for sharing
Cheers
Sam

I remember I first listened to this song when I was still a young man, and my English wasn’t so good, but I still could understand it’s meaning by feeling it.
@latodd53 For everyone who's lost a father, or grandfather....
This song reminds me of my grandfather everytime i hear it i play it for my son at bedtime settles him every time
Obviously this was a very much younger Phil Coulter. Beautiful song beautifully done. May George Donaldson rest peacefully.
Its almost a year since we lost big George. When ever I hear this song I think of him
I am in utter awe!
Very Impressive .
My father in law died last Friday - we will be playing this at his funeral
Nic OliveWwwr A! Co
This song gets me everytime😢😢rip dad
Not The relationship WE had, but I miss him nonetheless
There is no one can sing this song as well as Phil
아! 도대체 이런 노랠 만드는 사람은, 그리고 이런 노래를 이토록 아름답게 부르는 사람은 어디서 태어났고, 어떤 교육을 받고 어떤 사람들과 사귀며 무슨 책을 많이 읽고 살았을까....
무릇 예술가는 이쯤 되는 분들을 가리키지 않을까.... 이런 시대에 살고 있어서 참 좋다. 눈물겹게...

my beloved father in law died 6 months ago and i miss him, i thought he would live forever
Phil's the best! For the replay click 0:32
Having listened to Phil for years, this one hits home. An accomplished musician, I more than admire Phil. Here I am listening to this song on the 15th anniversary of my da's passing, like the song was written for us (of course I am sure so many others feel the same way I do about this song). What a Blessing to hear this. Thanks Phil for your brilliance, talent and heartfelt music! Rest peacefully dad! Miss you so much!
@spillane444 I wished we'd had this played at my grandfather's funeral... Had to have it played at his wake instead...
It breaks my heart, yet fills me with pride at the memories of my grandfather, every time I listen to it (like right now as I reply to you!).
Tomas RIP
It's a pity about the volume --- not enough. Perhaps you could fix it. Or maybe I could get a hearing aid.
John Logan missed thy old man
Why apologise for the watermark? That's part of the deal when using that unlicensed software. You should apologise for the shameless ripping of Phil's DVD. That said, Phil's creation is awesome and I enjoyed every second of it.
That is so true sorry for my english i am from belgium
God bless you Phil Coulter I've been listening to your music for many years lost my old man 40 years ago when I was 22 and I've missed him everyday since
