    My uncle's name was Danny(my father's younger brother). He died prematurely back in 2005 or 2006 I believe. My dad sang this at his funeral. It has a special place in our hearts.
    Thank you for your beautiful rendition Mr. McGuiness!

    The tune of Danny Boy is originally called O’Cahan’s (O’Cathain’s) Lament. It’s was written by one of my ancestors Rory Dall O’Cahan. It was originally a song about the heartbreak of the loss of the O’Cahan lands which had been held since the 12 or 1300’s. It’s a pretty sad story that fittingly grew to be a very sad song of loss. Colm does it beautiful justice!

      @tracyrhoads8333 Год назад +1

      ​@@traditionalfolkmusic9709i think it has to do with his tongue position for each errr register? Like example for the bass he keeps his tongue more down and pressed to the bottom of his mouth to help reach those notes. Brb gonna go see if look more manly doin it 😂 but i rlly do LIVE for all his faces. They really are great and tell the story

    Full lyrics:
    Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
    From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
    The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
    It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
    But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
    Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
    It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
    Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
    But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
    If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
    You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
    And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
    And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
    And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
    For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
    And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
