It's a great song and you might understand the whole story but unfortunately Rod obviously doesn't from what I have just heard, and as an Englishman do you really understand the whole story, I wonder, unfortunately even most Irish don't.
The ultimate price for a great love is not paid by the one who dies, but by the one who must endure an eternity of heartbreak after. I learned this recently when my parents died.
To me this is just so disrespectful to the brave men and women of 1916. It's sad when celebrity just get's it all so very wrong and it's just another nail in the coffin of true Irish history which is so misunderstood or forgotten. As Pearse said, The fools, the fools, the fools...
@@liamjpbrady And completely wrong and in my view disrespectful to the executed of 1916, what they stood for, who they fought against and full of incorrect supposed "facts" (in fact they are so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn't so bad) so you must also be completely devoid of knowledge around the Easter Rising and the aftermath and obviously not understand the irony of this spectacle and how offensive it is to people like me who absolutely love and adore these brave men and women. Look at James Connolly's last statement and if you still don't get it, there is no hope for you on the subject I'm afraid.
And that he got most of the details wrong. Grace was 28 years old when she married and was 67 years old when she died in 1955. She would have been 81 years old in 1969 had she lived until then and not many people born in 1888 like she was, did so. Joseph was 29 years old when they married and so was a year older than her, rather than the other way around.
@@seanscanlon9067 He was not shot the next morning, He was taken out and shot when the 15 minutes was over. Salute to Rod for singing this heartbreaking love song, but Jim McCann sings it like no other.
I first heard this in Turkey in an Irish bar before a Celtic match. The bar plays it every time there is an Irish or Scottish Celtic match. I heard it in Glasgow in Argyle street a month ago it is such a great reminder of what went on at that time, I’m neither Scottish or Catholic but this is such a be beautiful song about a tragedy that it should resound with everyone.

Her name was Grace Gifford and she never had another husband she was a true lady and there is many more people during the rising who didn't get talked about but in Ireland they are legends and never be forgotten
@@markbowes4704 I think this marriage has made Joseph Mary Plunkett and Grace Gifford story has made them immortal..it's a beautiful song. Rod does a great job but i cant get past Jim McCann's version..
Thanks Rod for not being afraid to sing a song about Irish history , there are English people calling it anti English what a bizarre understanding of the song , it’s a song of sadness of two young people who loved each other separated for ever by conflict ...
Arguably the most powerful love song of all time . They had 10 minutes together , then Joseph Mary plunket was shot to death and grace Gifford became a widow . Heart breaking
I believe she lived until the 60s she never remarried and was also involved in the 1916 uprising they were very young Patrick was a young man who suffered from tuberculosis but was instrumental as a writer because he was one of the main signatories of the proclamation he was sentenced to death and Grace was a talented artist after the majority of Ireland gained independence she lived her life quietly in Dublin
Love the fact rod Stewart sings this song after hearing it at a Celtic football match, it really got to him and he has visited kilmanin gaol and the graves of all who died in the name of freedom 💕🙏 and 22 yr old grace Clifford never married, again ,,now that's true love 💕

As an immensely proud Irish-American, Grace is one of my dearest songs, taught it to my children (My daughter's middle name is Grace) as toddlers. Together as a family we traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland and learned and walked the grounds of the GPO and Kilmainham Goal, me as a grand-child and namesake for a 1916 Uprising Survivor and my children, my son is also a namesake of his great grandfather. Fast forward to 2016 my son a Sgt. in the United States Marines Corps attended the 100th Anniversary celebration of the uprising as a member of then Vice-President Biden's security detail, walking the street toting a gun just like his Great Grandfather that day in 2016. I still get chills when I hear this song and yes I do tear up.

Michael Crowe , yes I agree, terrific version, I’m sure he’s rehearsed it many many times to get it right, fair play , although for me , Jim Mcann of the Dubliners does the best version
Michael Criwe, Jim McCann sang it well, but unfortunately gave a lot of 'information' which was totally wrong. At the time of the wedding Grace was 28, Joe was 29. Grace died in December 1955, not 1969. At the tine of her death she lived alone. I don't know where he got the misinformation.
My late wife Cathleen and I were big Rod fans. Jim McCann's rendition is magnificent and heart rending with depth , quality and emotion. I am pleased that this song has been brought to a worldwide audience but really Rod's version is truly awful - it just does not suit him at all (he is still a wonderful entertainer but should stick to what he is good at). I am a stickler for accuracy and was disappointed that research of the facts was so sloppy !!!

I am of Irish desent and when I heard the song Grace boy could I connect with that song! In our family ancestry going back to 1815 none of my relatives have ever gotten divorced. We had a motto in our family and that is this One love ❤️ One life.
The saddest song and truly touching words ever in a song about the hero’s of Ireland 🇮🇪 in the 1916 uprising that happened manly in Dublin , I’m Irish and was born very near kilmainham jail , where this hero was shot and killed , I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now but I’ve never forgotten my history of Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m proud to say that I’m Irish ☘️ I love Ireland and love Canada 🇨🇦 👍
So much going on beneath the surface with this performance, Rod inhaling at the start finding his voice, fingerwagging the backing vocals to sit back because he'd found his peak. Greatest performance. Talent and material rhyme.
I noticed that as well. It could be seen as rude, but it wasn't. He was just making sure they knew he was gonna go for it alone. They were smiling and then joined him again later. I bet he's a great guy to work for 🎶 💚
I'm roaring after watching this,lol,as you say,one of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written.Fair play to oul' Rod ,he did it justice.I could tell it really means something to him.
Rod, talk about putting your heart and soul, magnificent absolutely magnificent. You did this song proud but more so Mr and Mrs Plunkett Irelands own Romeo and Juliete a tragic love story but this was real life. Thank you Rod, you deserve the title Sir 🙏
I am an old fan of Rod Stewart. I remember buying the single Maggie May. I'm an Irishman and it is very nice to hear Rod singing this song and empathizing with one of Ireland's great patriots. Right on Rod!
I am an old fan of Rod too, since the Gasoline Alley days but now Sir Rod Stewart has no right to sing this song after having accepted the knighthood from the very crown and empire who caused this, who raped Ireland and killed Irishmen and woman!

james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate. One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.
Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.
By the week rod Stewart goes higher and higher in my estimations as an artist and a human being stay healthy Rod music wouldn't be the same without you
Here are the lyrics of the full song. As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye For we must say goodbye

Rod heard the celtic fans singing this song at a cup final and fell in love with it and wanted to record it. But before he recorded the song he wanted to know more about it so he came to Ireland and visited kilmainham gaol and some of the other 1916 rising sites. According to Muriel McAuley who commented below, Rod got some of his info wrong but we won't hold that against as he done such a beautiful job singing the song. R.I.P Joe and Grace and all of the 1916 rebels. God's curse on you england, you cruel-hearted monster, Your deeds they would shame, all the devils in hell.
Just an observation as Englishman who has studied the Easter Rising with an absolute passion for the past 35 years, have prayed by their gravesides at Abour Hill many, many times, attended the 100th anniversary at the GPO and have even written songs about these great men and women, I note you quote from the James Connolly's song, however, let's not forget also the words contained within Connolly's late statement before his execution, "We went out to break the connection between this country and the British Empire". Rod was very much part of my youth (happy days) and whilst as you say Rod got "most of his facts completly wrong" my only issue with Rod singing this song is the fact that Sir Rod is of course also a CBE (Commander of The British Empire), the medal of which carries an image of King George V (King at the time of the Rising) and also carries the words "For God and The Empire" an Empire the Rebels gave their lives fighting against to Free Their Country from British Rule. John Lennon famously of course returned his MBE to the Queen out of principle and the likes of David Bowie refused offers of both a CBE and a Knighthood and huge respect to them for doing that, perhaps Rod should consider doing the same thing "out of principle" if he is so sincere about the subject and those events of 1916.
@@Lissadell1916 I admire your passion for a subject i know you would have heard nothing about while you were in school. Would i be right in thinking there's an Irish connection somewhere in your family. [ I'd be very surprised if there's not ] As for Rod, i don't think he would be into the whole republican thing, i'd say for him it's more to the point that he's a mad Celtic supporter "and as i said earlier" he heard it being sung at a cup final and just wanted to know more about it. I have to say, in my book any English man that wants to know a bit more of what went on over here during those years is more than welcome because i have spoken to many lads from England during my life time and to no surprise they knew nothing of the history between out two countries.
@@garyconnolly4128 I am really surprised that Rod only seems to have gained knowledge of the Easter Rising in recent years as his very early music and career (and that of his contemporaries) was actively promoted by the grandson of one of the bravest and most honourable of the 1916 Rebels and martyr's of course (and one of my personal hero's), the same grandson also having a massive impact on British youth culture in the 60's and 70's. I also had the privilege of chatting to his other grandson at the 100th anniversary outside the GPO.

For me it's about the song and the two people who the song is, about!! Irish history is written in song and this one is exceptionally great. It causes a tear every time.. Rebels we will always be until every corner of our land is free. England itself will always be in chains until Ireland is in bondage no more..
Well if the English had a referendum to leave irland and Scotland The English would let you stand on your own 2 feet . we voted to leave uerope .you can see by comments English basterds etc the Irish poeple saying these things were not about at time of killing.unlike the English who in the 70s lost love ones . English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone

I think in one of Rods interviews when they asked him if you would ever retire he said I think I'll just fade away as the old soldier that I am ☘️🌹☘️ maybe that is probably why he sang a song about tragedy during one of the battles of war in Ireland
Go into any pub in Ireland and you'll find a better singer than jim Mccann, Rod is well past his best but I'll bet his studio cut of this is the best version ever and i enjoyed this live version more than mccanns.
Edward Donnachie I've never claimed Jim McCann was better than Rod and I'm sure they're are better singers than him. But Jim's version is my favourite of any one I've heard. It's just set in my mind. Xxx
Mairead Meehan Mairead I'm right beside you on my favourite person to sing it with out a doubt in my opinion Jim is by far the best it's just the information you said Jim give's at the start is incorrect as if you look at other comments you will learn the correct information on the BEAUTIFUL SONG well if you haven't already done that Mairead ✌💚🍀☘✔

Grace Gifford died with a broken heart in 1955. She wad 67. She had never remarried. A true love story.
The marriage allowed the military and by extension the English government to pretend to themselves that they were honorable
I believe she lived until the 60s she never remarried and was also involved in the 1916 uprising they were very young Patrick was a young man who suffered from tuberculosis but was instrumental as a writer because he was one of the main signatories of the proclamation he was sentenced to death and Grace was a talented artist after the majority of Ireland gained independence she lived her life quietly in Dublin

My brother-in-law passed late last year aged 59 and this was played at his funeral at his request. Every time it is played it brings tears to my eyes
RIP Eddie Burns.
Sorry for your loss. hugs

The heart of many not just the Irish trust me not just the Irish !!
So you missed his little tantrum in the middle?
It's an Irish song, it's a sad song. Respect from Mexico.
A brilliant rendition by the great man. Let's not forget the writers and composers of this beautiful Irish ballad...Sean & Frank O'Meara 🇮🇪
Michael Crowe , yes I agree, terrific version, I’m sure he’s rehearsed it many many times to get it right, fair play , although for me , Jim Mcann of the Dubliners does the best version
Michael Criwe, Jim McCann sang it well, but unfortunately gave a lot of 'information' which was totally wrong. At the time of the wedding Grace was 28, Joe was 29. Grace died in December 1955, not 1969. At the tine of her death she lived alone. I don't know where he got the misinformation.
And Tom mcann who sang it so bueatifully for so many years RIP TOM MCANN
Rod Stewart
My late wife Cathleen and I were big Rod fans. Jim McCann's rendition is magnificent and heart rending with depth , quality and emotion. I am pleased that this song has been brought to a worldwide audience but really Rod's version is truly awful - it just does not suit him at all (he is still a wonderful entertainer but should stick to what he is good at). I am a stickler for accuracy and was disappointed that research of the facts was so sloppy !!!
Thanks Rod from Ireland .This song is one of many that will be forever played In the name of Dublin and the people of Ireland.

I am of Irish desent and when I heard the song Grace boy could I connect with that song! In our family ancestry going back to 1815 none of my relatives have ever gotten divorced. We had a motto in our family and that is this One love ❤️ One life.
Good on you Rod ,a true Celtic fan ,ie let's look after people worse of than our selves,and you do that Rod ,hail hail
Thank God for those brave men also for the brilliant Celtic fans who never forget
Bless you amberson and Rod for taking the time, gone but most certainly not forgotten Grace.
Proud to be a irish man and makes me proud to see he tri colour flying in country's around the world.
The saddest song and truly touching words ever in a song about the hero’s of Ireland 🇮🇪 in the 1916 uprising that happened manly in Dublin , I’m Irish and was born very near kilmainham jail , where this hero was shot and killed , I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now but I’ve never forgotten my history of Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m proud to say that I’m Irish ☘️ I love Ireland and love Canada 🇨🇦 👍
Love the Irish ☘️ people , long live Ireland the home of the braves 💖🙏🌸
Always brings a tear to my eye. At least one of my ancestors fought in the Easter Rising under James Connolly.
Beautiful song we played at my friend's funeral they all 😍 😍 Ann Dunleavy ❤
The blonde backing singer is an absolute honey
No she aint, she looks like a make up doll
So much going on beneath the surface with this performance, Rod inhaling at the start finding his voice, fingerwagging the backing vocals to sit back because he'd found his peak. Greatest performance. Talent and material rhyme.
I noticed that as well. It could be seen as rude, but it wasn't. He was just making sure they knew he was gonna go for it alone. They were smiling and then joined him again later. I bet he's a great guy to work for 🎶 💚
Just love to listen to this for St. Patrick's. Beautiful voice and gentleman.
I have loved Rod's music for decades...but this is going down as one of my all-time favorites. Thank you!
Top tune
Rod had to compose himself before he started the song, a pure pro, right there....Respect man....!
He shook his hand at his backing vocalist mid song.He lost a few points there imo.The poor girl was mortified.
@@janefriel6895 He knew he had it covered....and it was beautiful....
It’s kind of chilling that the events this beautiful song describes took place only 5 minutes walk from where I live on this day 103 years ago.
We will never ever forget these brave lrish rebels and heroes...l am proud of my lrish blood.. cork

Happy St paddy's day from Belfast ,sang it beautifully Sir Rod
A truly remarkable true song of how the English where towards the Irish. Credit to rod Stewart for singing this historic song from his heart 💖
One of the saddest most beautiful songs ever written 🇮🇪
So sad
I'm roaring after watching this,lol,as you say,one of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written.Fair play to oul' Rod ,he did it justice.I could tell it really means something to him.

Rods a legend love this Irish song so sad but truly beautiful.
Rod, talk about putting your heart and soul, magnificent absolutely magnificent. You did this song proud but more so Mr and Mrs Plunkett Irelands own Romeo and Juliete a tragic love story but this was real life. Thank you Rod, you deserve the title Sir 🙏
I am an old fan of Rod Stewart. I remember buying the single Maggie May. I'm an Irishman and it is very nice to hear Rod singing this song and empathizing with one of Ireland's great patriots. Right on Rod!
yes me also just like yesterday
I am an old fan of Rod too, since the Gasoline Alley days but now Sir Rod Stewart has no right to sing this song after having accepted the knighthood from the very crown and empire who caused this, who raped Ireland and killed Irishmen and woman!

He is going to make this great song so popular all over the world good on him , he does it very well 🍀
Ever heard the Green Brigade renditions at Celtic matches ? You can guarantee Rod has paricipated in those many, many times amongst the thousands ...
james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate.
One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.
Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.
Muriel McAuley hi
Tony Mc Donald Hello!
So beautiful. Keep singing. What a beautiful voice and song even though sad.
USA
By the week rod Stewart goes higher and higher in my estimations as an artist and a human being stay healthy Rod music wouldn't be the same without you
Here are the lyrics of the full song.
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
For we must say goodbye
Beautiful1 Thank you John.
Thx very much
I sing this for tourists and they love it thank you 🙂
My all time favourite song,I’ll listened to all the different versions by all different people,but Rods version is exception.

Rod heard the celtic fans singing this song at a cup final and fell in love with it and wanted to record it. But before he recorded the song he wanted to know more about it so he came to Ireland and visited kilmainham gaol and some of the other 1916 rising sites. According to Muriel McAuley who commented below, Rod got some of his info wrong but we won't hold that against as he done such a beautiful job singing the song.
R.I.P Joe and Grace and all of the 1916 rebels.
God's curse on you england, you cruel-hearted monster, Your deeds they would shame, all the devils in hell.
He even visited the grave of Grace Gifford👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well done to him
Upmost respect
I have always loved Rod Stewart
Love him more now
Just an observation as Englishman who has studied the Easter Rising with an absolute passion for the past 35 years, have prayed by their gravesides at Abour Hill many, many times, attended the 100th anniversary at the GPO and have even written songs about these great men and women, I note you quote from the James Connolly's song, however, let's not forget also the words contained within Connolly's late statement before his execution, "We went out to break the connection between this country and the British Empire". Rod was very much part of my youth (happy days) and whilst as you say Rod got "most of his facts completly wrong" my only issue with Rod singing this song is the fact that Sir Rod is of course also a CBE (Commander of The British Empire), the medal of which carries an image of King George V (King at the time of the Rising) and also carries the words "For God and The Empire" an Empire the Rebels gave their lives fighting against to Free Their Country from British Rule. John Lennon famously of course returned his MBE to the Queen out of principle and the likes of David Bowie refused offers of both a CBE and a Knighthood and huge respect to them for doing that, perhaps Rod should consider doing the same thing "out of principle" if he is so sincere about the subject and those events of 1916.
@@Lissadell1916 I admire your passion for a subject i know you would have heard nothing about while you were in school. Would i be right in thinking there's an Irish connection somewhere in your family. [ I'd be very surprised if there's not ]
As for Rod, i don't think he would be into the whole republican thing, i'd say for him it's more to the point that he's a mad Celtic supporter "and as i said earlier" he heard it being sung at a cup final and just wanted to know more about it. I have to say, in my book any English man that wants to know a bit more of what went on over here during those years is more than welcome because i have spoken to many lads from England during my life time and to no surprise they knew nothing of the history between out two countries.
@@garyconnolly4128 I am really surprised that Rod only seems to have gained knowledge of the Easter Rising in recent years as his very early music and career (and that of his contemporaries) was actively promoted by the grandson of one of the bravest and most honourable of the 1916 Rebels and martyr's of course (and one of my personal hero's), the same grandson also having a massive impact on British youth culture in the 60's and 70's. I also had the privilege of chatting to his other grandson at the 100th anniversary outside the GPO.
BIG "CONGRATULATIONS" TO YOU ROD ~YOU MADE A FANTASTIC JOB OF THIS BEAUTIFUL MUCH LOVED SONG AND FAIR PLAY TO YOU ADDING THAT PRECIOUS MOMENTS OF THE COUPLES TIME TOGETHER ~ROD I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOU SINGING A SONG CALLED "ABSENT FRIENDS" ANOTHER MUCH LOVED IRISH SONG ~ EVERY GOOD WISH AND MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL WORK OVER THE YEARS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED ~ 👍~🥰💕💞

I am Irish & have loved rods music for many year think this is an absolutely amazing version of Grace
Welll done Rod absolutely beautiful
For me it's about the song and the two people who the song is, about!! Irish history is written in song and this one is exceptionally great. It causes a tear every time.. Rebels we will always be until every corner of our land is free. England itself will always be in chains until Ireland is in bondage no more..
Well if the English had a referendum to leave irland and Scotland
The English would let you stand on your own 2 feet . we voted to leave uerope .you can see by comments English basterds etc the Irish poeple saying these things were not about at time of killing.unlike the English who in the 70s lost love ones . English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone

I think in one of Rods interviews when they asked him if you would ever retire he said I think I'll just fade away as the old soldier that I am ☘️🌹☘️ maybe that is probably why he sang a song about tragedy during one of the battles of war in Ireland
Jim McCann's version is my favourite. He gives a bit of history about the song before singing it. But fairplay to Rod for giving it a belt ❤❤❤.
Mairead Meehan i have to agree with you ,but what a song x
Go into any pub in Ireland and you'll find a better singer than jim Mccann, Rod is well past his best but I'll bet his studio cut of this is the best version ever and i enjoyed this live version more than mccanns.
Edward Donnachie I've never claimed Jim McCann was better than Rod and I'm sure they're are better singers than him. But Jim's version is my favourite of any one I've heard. It's just set in my mind. Xxx
Mairead Meehan
Mairead I'm right beside you on my favourite person to sing it with out a doubt in my opinion Jim is by far the best it's just the information you said Jim give's at the start is incorrect as if you look at other comments you will learn the correct information on the BEAUTIFUL SONG well if you haven't already done that Mairead ✌💚🍀☘✔
Edward Donnachie
And that is why EAVERY ONE is unique I'll be looking out for ROD'S PERFORMANCE and I'm sure it will be another proud moment for lots of us I'm sure it will be for me ✌🖒🍀☘in any way ✌🍀☘💚
