Irish and Scottish ballads and folk tunes have the greatest emotion of any songs that I listen to, and it makes me proud to be of Irish ancestry :)

[@Peregrin_Took]

My family 4 generations ago left Ireland to avoid catholic persecution. My grandmother would tell me stories of her grandmother and their Irish heritage. She said that if they ever lifted the blasphemy laws that shed go back but unfortunately she passed before the chance came. I hope to one day go so that I may fulfill her wish.

[@msmoonbeam91]

I love that many Irish and Scottish songs have the same tunes I always play this and Loch lomond together. The same with wearing of the green and Scotland the brave . I've always loved Celtic music and turns out I have ancestors that came from Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

CHORUS
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows,
And fair is the lily of the valley;
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass
Comer over the hills to your darling;
You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever.
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
And the moon and the stars they were shining;
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
It's not for the parting tht my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother,
"Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever.

I see that people post comments on this video saying things like "love it" or "I love this band." But when I say I love this song, its not because it sounds good, or I love the band. No. There is a girl in my life that I am desperately in love with. The only someone I can see myself ever being with. I dream that one day I may be with her, that I can hold her in my arms, and kiss her. But alas, I cannot be with her. I've made many a calculation in my so far short life, made many plans, some that work, some that don't. I've prepared for almost EVERY situation. Every situation, except that which is when I first met her. And I hurt EVERY SINGLE DAY because I am not with her. But my dream, my only bloody dream is to be able to sing to her this song. So believe me when I say, that I love The High Kings. 'Cause if one day I get very, VERY lucky, these are the men that I would have to thank for my happiness.
