Planxty As i Roved Out

...when broken shells make Christmas bells...

[@nbenefiel]

Of all the fantastic Irish musicians of the 70’s, Planxty was what I most remember. The Chieftains were gods. I mourn the deaths of Paddy, Dereck and , especially, Sean Keane, but Planxty was magical. Rest in peace Liam og O Flynn.

[@padraichorgan]

The pure sweet clarity of Liams whistling is like a blackbird on an early spring morning ,other wordly.....

[@andykeith2051]

“I hope to God you’re able” - love this line

[@c.cerberus9417]

I always come back to Planxty. If you don’t have an ear for this your heart doesn’t beat. Heavenly.

[@WardenOfSouls]

Absolutely. Im listening to many types of music. But I will certainly never forget the day i had the absolute privilege to experience Irvine Live and i wish i could have seen the whole of planxty. And i always find myself coming back to Planxty and just feel happy

[@laurelsoderholm9480]

Boy oh boy your so right. The will ever only one Planxty could never happen again🩷🩷😥

[@xeroxene]

I whistle along with Liam as I go about my daily chores. He's still here. RIP.

[@johnmccann8319]

Pure magic from Planxty

[@enzovecchiarelli9393]

Meraviglia!

[@tmkreh8635]

As a lifelong Flogging Molly fan, as I get older, I'm really getting into more traditional acoustic tunes. Until this video, I'd never even heard of Planxty. This is absolutely amazing. Hauntingly beautiful. Incredible tin whistle, and as a singer, I wish I had one-tenth that voice. With ancestors from Limerick and Cork, I feel this music in my veins.

[@markschafer7510]

It's like there are differing versions of As i Roved out..give listen to Andy Levine/ Planxty 1976 live...on youtube...very beautiful..very sad..Andy playing a hurdy gurdy

[@DaveGreeneramblingcarpenter]

I remember repeatedly listening to a planxty album as a very small boy, im thinking mud 70's and being taken away in the songs, sweet Thames flow softly raggle taggle gypsy, memorising the words, playing a little theatre in my head, funny, i can't remember what I did 2 days ago but I remember the words of those songs, ❤️❤️

[@emmanueldidier71]

énorme , ça me rappelle ma jeunesse , mes amis irlandais m'ont fait découvrir l'album que j'ecoute fidelement depuis plus de 40 ans , la campagne verte et fraiche , l'air marin La flute plane et vole comme un oiseau au printemps ! On se mariera quand on fera des cloches avec des coquillages ! Un grand merci de France

[@QRS666]

Everytime I hear the beginning of this song and Liam's pure fantastic whistle, I almost cry. Both of joy and sadness. Words are not enough to express how beautiful this song is.

[@steelyman08]

I love how they delayed it a wee bit for this performance. It's complete ecstasy because you've been waiting, waiting, & waiting! Beautiful. I have no words either ~ none that could do it justice, but I know that the feeling it stirs within takes me to a warmer, kinder place where the wolves cannot get in (-:

[@jimfell7147]

Pure bliss, everything missing in the pap that passes for music today.

[@FurchtbaresGaming]

I only knew Christys name until today. Great to learn more and more about the irish folk scene again.

[@castrofideralla562]

Absolute gods at work genius

[@javiergarcia2624]

La mejor banda irlandesa que ha existido sin duda. Me pone la carne de gallina cada vez que la escucho

[@muldoopa]

Is there a more heartbreaking tune? Absolutely perfect!

[@laurelsoderholm9480]

Beautiful the great days of Planxty!

[@charliesmith9078]

What a fantastic song & band. Brilliant

[@QRS666]

Also, even if all the other instruments are out of this world and Christy's voice just as good, it is the Tin whistle that kind of makes this song what it is. Best version ever.

[@MartinPraetorius]

'tis brilliant, indeed!

[@sandramorey2529]

I've been singing this for 40 years. I learned it from Cynthia Gooding. It's a very fun song to sing and teach the chorus to the audience.

[@Villagejonesy]

"Then she arose and put on her clothes, sayin' 'yobbo, I must leave ye'" He (crestfallen, plaintive): "Oh and when will you return again, and when will we get married? darn"

[@starrover1111]

Great song in every way - been listening to it and Planxty since the 70s

[@7gorm7]

RIP Liam, legend.

[@MrEvanfriend]

When I was in the Marine Corps, this never happened to me...

[@plankwalker61]

Some really beautiful traditional Irish music ...

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Feckin brilliant. Cheers

[@steelyman08]

As I Roved Out from The Well Below The Valley. And it was always Christy Moore's voice that won me over somehow. I think most seem to prefer the Andy Irvine song (which is also gorgeous) if you go by view counts on YT. Fair enough (-: I remember seeing a video of Christy Moore and Sinead singing a song together here on YT (you'll all know it). You could see that she had so much respect for him. It's enchanting. This was my absolute favourite from The Well Below The Valley. 14 dislikes? You'd have to have a heart of stone to dislike this performance. I swear the man has the most warm & soothing voice that I've ever heard! Thanks for uploading this so many years ago (-:

[@nathanoman1]

pure beauty...cheers

[@HolgerWerner-so2ki]

❤ Thank you for all! You are wunderfull ❤

[@crazylegspete]

Just left Flanagans bar in Lahinch where this played.....Savage night of Trad

[@PhilipXanderMusic]

To those complaining about the song name: As many Irish (and Celtic, and American) trad songs and tunes, this has multiple names. And conversely, often multiple tunes or songs go by the same name. 'History' was a bit messy before the internet and the printing press. To complicate things even further, many (modern) artists will write new melodies and arrangements for old songs, or combine an old song with a new melody, to create entirely new works. Look up 'Love Henry' and listen to a few different versions. Definitely listen to Jolie Holland's version, which is absolutely haunting. Then listen to 'Henry Lee' by Nick Cave, and 'The False Lady' by John Doyle and Karan Casey. Cool, no? Personally I knew this song as 'Who Are You?'. (Actually, many artists who played it called it that). But who cares? It's actually quite fascinating when you get into it a bit. So much richness, so much mileage, out of such old creations.

[@ricstunneloftunes4288]

finally someone with sense here

[@Covsownblaine]

I've known this song sung by many also with different names christy had it in a album on his own as the night visit with a completely different backing tune. Andy obviously sung as I roved out too either way dont think to much of it just enjoy it for what it is

Best I Mrs you

[@ronaldmcdonald6554]

Just curious, what does the line of the song mean? I'm not quite sure how to interpret it?

[@hazelenglish9340]

It’s about a soldier who sleeps with a farmer’s daughter - she believes they will get married but once they’ve slept together he reveals he has no intentions of marriage and carries on on his journey

[@fxq777]

there is only one...

[@catmalogen23]

does anyone know which concert this is from?

Planxty - As I roved Out (Christy)

[@JermirCaesar]

Great song, but it is actually "The Night Visit" by Christy Moore, not "As I Roved Out".

[@celenascheede-bergdahl5473]

As I Roved Out is the traditional name

[@jolo2331]

That's what it's called on the album I thought?

[@KingofRoath]

This is the night visitor, not as i roved out. Schoolboy error.

[@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177]

It is as I roved out. There are two songs on the same album that have the same title for no reason.

[@chippyboy35]

Is Ireland going the wrong way?

[@balsham137]

Its fucked

[@TrueBlueEG8]

this is not "as I roved out"

[@jack317]

What is it?

The Night Visit: www.christymoore.com/lyrics/night-visit-as-i-roved-out/

[@porterhall27]

@@jack317 this is As I roved Out kzbin.info/www/bejne/omGZoK17jbSGl7s

[@T.J]

It is as I roved out. Both songs are called that way.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

@@T.J No its not, its called the night visit, as i roved out is a completely different tune, written and performed by Andy Irvine, still planxty, but not the same tune.

[@PaulMichaelKelly27]

Good music. I love their work. But this song isn't As I Roved Out.

[@jolo2331]

That's what it's called on the album

[@PaulMichaelKelly27]

@jolo2331 yes, when I look further I see you're right
