As a young man (27 yrs old) who recently lost my dad 4 months ago to the day, I feel as if my dad would’ve loved this song. I’m gonna stop by and play this song for him sometime.
I have this saved in a playlist, and today, for the first time after hearing it dozens of times before, it’s emotional listen for some reason... Ed has a talent that has tentacles of its own and I doubt he even realizes it🐾🌻
So emotional it made me cry. Cried listening to utter shite music. Come on get s grip. There is better music on your doorstep if you cared to support your local musicians.
I love Ed Sheraan and his songs, he's amazing, I remeber that in my village red hair people were not really appreciated :( (I remember 2 brothers, one was dark hair and another one red hair, they were both very hansome...)
That pure silence while he’s singing... not just the mark of a talented artist, but a powerful choice and a connected, respective audience. Captivating all the way around
We Irish love to sing/play this song but it's actual we have our brother and sister Gaels in Scotland to thank for it! Go raibh maith agat/Taphadh leat don an ceol iontach sin, Gealach na hAlba!
Michael Peter Smith tells a story where his friends went to Ireland and heard The Dutchman being sung. So, they went up after to tell them they were friends with the songwriter, and the singer says 'no, you must be mistaken, that's an old Irish folk tune.' ruclips.net/video/lGfz7clIDNw/видео.html When a Brit steals art they lock it up in a big museum. When a Celt steals art, the owner still has it, but Ireland does too.
Does it matter if song is Scottish or Irish - the ascots were an Irish Gaelic speaking tribe that came toPictland Later the Puritans Calvinists and Presbyterians banned all music in Scotland
You got it wrong - It's a traditional Scottish song. Was the most popular song in Scotland before Robert Burns came along and wrote Auld Lang Syne. But yes, it's sung in Ireland as well.
This song may very well be a Scottish song. However, if you delve into your ancient Scottish history you'll find that the 'Scots' actually came from Ireland. The Picts (the original Scottish people) lived in what is now Scotland before the Scots arrived there. The Scots (the Romans called them 'Scoti') arrived from Ireland in the 6th century AD, to colonize and Christianize. Over time they defeated and eventually assimilated with the Picts.
He had that audience from the very start of those lyrics...you could hear a pin drop amongst those people...Ed Sheeran is and always will be one of the greatest artists to bless this planet
What was beautiful about this performance was the audience. They listened to the message being sung, and they respected and beautiful and traditional song. It's a nice change from girls screaming when they hear a high note.
@@johnoconnell2446 The origins of The Parting Glass can be found in Scotland. A version of the lyrics was known at least as early as 1605 with variations and fragments appearing in various songs down through the centuries. The melody was first collected in 1782
@@johnoconnell2446 Nope … this is a Scottish ballad adopted by the Irish among others, we ( Scottish) are happy to share this with anyone who feels it’s heart wrenching love.
A friend of me died way before his time, we played this at his funeral. It was pouring badly. Heaven was crying too. . . Had a shelter, and a bonfire going. A pinboard where everybody left a picture of him his for his 2 year old daughter and a 16 year old Lagavulin Whisky pass around. . . I miss you badly Jan!
While I appreciate the harmony that many groups make this song into, I think the solo form is the best way to render it. This is a fantastic rendition, a single strong clear voice, with only sporadic/sparse accompaniment.
Check his Wembley performance on this song, in my opinion it is the greatest cover of the parting glass! That being said this version captures the authenticity of the song itself!

Heart wrenching. Sending this home to Ireland to my Mammy who has lost too many too soon.....the last few years have been unbearable, but we who remain behind always send them a "Parting Glass". 💚
Hang on to your mammy as long as possible. Wish my mammy was still here to hear this, however no matter what our struggles are we will always send you off with a glass and well wishes
@@ainekline377 My condolnces on the loss of your Mammy, as we grow through life and live & learn we understand more each day what true faithful friends we have in our Mothers.

They are as necessary to our wellbeing as the air we breathe, and life is never the same again without them. 💚
This is a traditional SCOTTISH ballad, before Auld Lang Syne was written it was sung at Hogmanay ( New Year ) celebrations, funerals and bittersweet partings “ Good night and joy be with you all “

yeah... I don't think he has the voice to make parting glass heartbreakingly beautiful. Seriously though, look for other versions of parting glass... It can be 1000% more beautiful than this.
It's originally Scottish, but it has been also part of Irish tradition for hundreds of years. The two cultures are closely tied in many ways. No need to be so angry about it.
It's a hard journey to push through. If you are listening to this song it's because you have lost someone you love. Tapping that like button through all the tears is a tad rough.

"the parting glass" is a Scottish traditional song often sung at the end of a gathering of friends it was purportedly the most popular parting sung in scottland cool to know but not an Irish folk song
@Tom Griffin Its funny how you just typed “ye” lol like im not irish actually but is it true that Irish people actually add ye in there sentence whenever they talk?
@@nutbuster4204 in old English there were a few forms of what we now know as" you". There was subject singular and plural "you" and "ye", as well as object singular and plural "thou" and "thee".

Its funny because we are an English speaking nation, we never learn any actual linguistic rules, so many Irish believe that "ye" is just a shortened sound for "you", and not that it's it's own grammatical function. It's pretty cool.
What's about the Scott's Irish in Ulster? Scottish? Irish? Both country share a whole of history and at least the gaelic languages. So it might be an Irish folksong as well.

Can't believe I'm on my way to Manchester at 5pm tonight to meet him tomorrow, then back to glasgow to see his concert at the Hydro on Thursday! Raw talent.
It says irish traditional but infact this song is scottish in origin very pooular song in ireland but have to give the credit to the scotts for this one
This is a gorgeous piece. I sang it two years ago with my choir and it really connects with people. It reminds us why we need to keep our heads up, although the message is very much mourning all that was lost. It reminded us that we were still there, and we understood. My choir program is a family of sorts, and this rendition just made me to remember how appreciative I am
i should just write it in a .pdf and pass it around. irish and the scotts cant even share songs. The Parting Glass is scottish tune with irish lyrics or vice versa. Its is neither one nor the other but in fact both. neither can claim total ownership.
This song is in fact originally Irish with the first heard version coming as early as the 18th century but the earliest text not to be mistaken for the song was discovered in 17th century Scotland and even still it was not the full lyrics to the song we know today but little segments found in a poem. The Irish somehow were able to make some of these segments into a song by adding other text which make the parting glass as we know it. It was a song then sung in both countries as a farewell to friends and family. The all round heritage of the song is shared by both close neighbouring countries.
Nina Detroit awkward that it takes Irish musical talent to make it a half decent song in the first place ??? ie the pogues, Liam Clancy, the chieftains, the Dubliners and Ronnie drew ? yeah really awkward

2022 and Im scared because I know I'm in. Trouble and o can't fix this .sorry
This is a traditional SCOTTISH ballad, before Auld Lang Syne was written it was sung at Hogmanay ( New Year ) celebrations, funerals and bittersweet partings “ Good night and joy be with you all “
It's actually a Scottish song....
But besides that, beautiful rendition!
Absolutely beautiful, from Dublin, Ireland 💙💚❤️✊🏻
Check the master Ronnie Drew for the definitive version of this great song
I beg your pardon, but I say Freddie White kills all other versions of this song (even my own) ruclips.net/video/wzLuS-OOrO0/видео.html
ls there a folk song that isn't claimed to be traditional lrish? ln the case of this song it's Scottish.
Beautifully sung Scottish folk song !
I’m from Ireland and it’s a very popular song here, but your right it’s a Scottish song!
Oh tank you! All over RUclips I see "Irish folk song" this kills me.. This is SO scottish
He performed this at one of his concerts I was at and oh wow! The acoustics were just amazing, the room was silent in mesmerisation. Amazing!
This is actually scottish
ryan laird think it’s Celtic so probably sung by both Irish and Scottish
@@jackojackson6043 no it's not Celtic it was wrote by robbie burns
Ryan is right. Its a scottish song.

Ah the ever present but mostly subtle Gaelic drinking song authorship fueds
Can't believe I'm on my way to Manchester at 5pm tonight to meet him tomorrow, then back to glasgow to see his concert at the Hydro on Thursday! Raw talent.
A toast to our friend Bill this St Patrick's Day. May the road rise to meet you and the sun be always at your back. This one's for you. Rest in Peace.

Wasn’t this originally Scottish not Irish?
Yes
This is actually a Scottish song, originally.
Its a Scottish song.
Believe it was written by Patrick Galvin which makes it Irish
@@moboo6808Patrick Galvin was born in 1927. Origins of The Parting Glass date back to Scotland in the mid 1650s.
Celtic tbf
Life in 3D knock this song out of the ballpark!
Here from Theo Vons interview
Me too!
I'd say it's very hard not to like Ed, I think the guy is great light it up if you agree 👍
hey check out my cover subscribe to my channel I sing and react review movies and tv shows
The Parting Glass is a traditional Scottish song, not Irish. It is often sung by Irish singers, but the song is Scottish
Assassin’s Creed IV “Black Flag” ending
true came because of it
It says irish traditional but infact this song is scottish in origin very pooular song in ireland but have to give the credit to the scotts for this one
This is a gorgeous piece. I sang it two years ago with my choir and it really connects with people. It reminds us why we need to keep our heads up, although the message is very much mourning all that was lost. It reminded us that we were still there, and we understood. My choir program is a family of sorts, and this rendition just made me to remember how appreciative I am
yoo it's actually a scottish traditional song, it was just very popular in ireland, but yeah, he performed this beautifully
i should just write it in a .pdf and pass it around. irish and the scotts cant even share songs.
The Parting Glass is scottish tune with irish lyrics or vice versa. Its is neither one nor the other but in fact both. neither can claim total ownership.
Who cares about ownership? Just be proud of your land and traditions, because your countries have too much to offer ;)
Let's just say it's a Celtic song
JACKSON'S WIFE aye but the Irish made it what it is
This song is in fact originally Irish with the first heard version coming as early as the 18th century but the earliest text not to be mistaken for the song was discovered in 17th century Scotland and even still it was not the full lyrics to the song we know today but little segments found in a poem. The Irish somehow were able to make some of these segments into a song by adding other text which make the parting glass as we know it. It was a song then sung in both countries as a farewell to friends and family. The all round heritage of the song is shared by both close neighbouring countries.
I want this Song to be played at my Funeral❤️❤️❤️
Good to see the younger brothers engaging in history.
It's a Scottish song.
This song speaks to my heart and blessings to Ed for bringing it ❣️.
The Yanks were like, what the fuck is this guy singing about....lol!
Reared on this song , knew the words at 6 years old ...god bless you Dad 💚
Wow. Ed has such a fantastic voice.
He should be featured in BLACK FLAG 4😭😭😭
traditional scottish sang.
Awkward that it's actually originally a scottish song not Irish...
Nina Detroit It's both Scottish and Irish, but it's bigger in Ireland
Nina Detroit awkward that it takes Irish musical talent to make it a half decent song in the first place ??? ie the pogues, Liam Clancy, the chieftains, the Dubliners and Ronnie drew ? yeah really awkward

Why awkward??
Alba gu brath!!
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
And of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it calls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
A nice version - I prefer Freddie White's performance
I love this song....and I love how Ed sings it!
Really!! You need an ear transplant
@Thomas TCS No! 😁
The Karine Polwart version is a much better one.
too melodramatic and showy. Check out the real deal, Freddie White's version.
The Parting Glass es una canción de amor por aquella o aquel que ha decidido partir y subir a la barca de la vidamuertevida gracias gracias gracias
Absolutely unreal, so well done,
This is poor. Watch Freddie white sing it
Parting glass is scottish, not Irish.
