Who should I collab with this year?

[@Water_boy76]

Have you done (cape cod girl)

[@demon-hunter1498]

would love to see what insane stuff you and Rustage could come up with, maybe Dan Bull.

[@jfleisch365]

Peter Hollens

[@inferno7076]

I personally really like your collabs with Rachel Hardy and I'd love to hear more of them

[@LuciferSpiro1993]

Odd suggestion... but if you felt like doing a different version of Diggy Diggy Hole, Colin Furze has been doing some digging. Some of his friends play instruments.

[@alexpainter4169]

Fun Fact: Ed Sheeran wrote this song as a way to tell the story of how his grandparents met & fell in love.

[@cody7729]

Yea I'm a Milligan they were basically sworn enemies the Mulligan’s who were Irish Rebels against the English so they're families didn't agree with the marriage one being Roman Catholic and the other being Protestant there's a bunch of other songs on the Mulligan’s probably should check out you'll see why they were sworn enemies

[@cody7729]

Listen to the song Man from Mullingar

[@talaananthes]

We know lol

[@EdenM2026]

I always assumed it was something like that. It’s Cool!

[@samc12345]

NO WAY!

[@HistorytheShortStory]

"Nancy Mulligan" is a love song written and performed by Ed Sheeran, a heartfelt tribute to his Irish grandparents. Released in 2017, it tells the story of Sheeran's grandfather, William, a Protestant from Northern Ireland, and his grandmother, Anne "Nancy" Mulligan, a Catholic from the Republic of Ireland. Their love blossomed during World War II, defying societal divisions caused by their religious backgrounds. The song highlights their determination to be together, echoing the star-crossed love of Romeo and Juliet. Sheeran's evocative lyrics and the traditional Irish instrumentation create an enduring story of love transcending borders and differences. Primary Source: Sheeran, Ed. "Nancy Mulligan." ÷ (Deluxe). Asylum Records, 2017.

Oh Eire, an emerald in the crown of the God, how rich you are with music and musicians to share your wealth with the entire world! Amazing work, Colm, thank you! Your music videos make me to feel the Irish vibe.

[@YourAverageMop]

Okay I'm spooked. I was just listening to this song earlier and now you upload a cover!

[@Athnar93]

I listened to this song a few times because I love Colm's stuff all the time, but was only yesterday years old when I actually read the full title and realized this was an Ed Sheeran song. I swear, Colm has the magic touch to make anything sound like an Irish tune from a hundred years ago. God, I love this man!

[@mariajane542]

This actually sounds a lot like the original. You should listen to it. Bet you’d like it.

[@grimoireweiss6428]

I LOVE IT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR IRISH STYLE COVERS. I FEEL LIKE I’M IN IRELAND WHEN I HEAR THEM. Please say this will be on Spotify

[@hailme1]

Would be surprised it it weren't on spotify.

[@circemuller1933]

noooooooooooooooo

[@Caretaker_Saxon]

love this song. Reminds me of my family love story of my great great grandfather being the Lord Mayor's son and my great great grandmother being an Irish maid. Back then English and Irish weren't allowed to marry even if there wasn't the gulf of their social status, so they ran off to America to be married.

[@МарияБердасова]

This song is my wedding song. I really love this. And I'm happy to heard it again and fall in memories and dreams. Thank you!

[@MrGaming0347]

Hey colm I have been watching you for these past 3 years you have helped me through my darkest of times. Plus most likely you’re not going to see this comment but thank you for these past years have a good day colm and stay very handsome you Irish devil. Plus i meant that as a compliment.

[@mowboun]

I discovered your channel a few days ago. I have a big crush, I'm addicted to this Irish style. I devour everything you do. You are pure gold... Thank you ☘

[@Lawry_illustrations]

Your setup looks amazing! Didn't know I needed a Nancy Mulligan cover from you, but I'm glad we got one. Keep up the amazing work, Colm!

[@Sorchia56]

Perfection! I’m finally home (Ireland) and so happy. I was stuck in the states for ages. Missed my cliffs, the glorious view and the people more than an ever thought. I bought all your music while in the states and it made me feel a wee bit less homesick. Cheers for that, mate! You’ve a gift that goes beyond your voice. 💚🍀🍀🍀

[@benjaminbrothers1658]

I'm really looking forward to spring. That is colm McGuiness time!!! Really love this song

[@wyatthommy1546]

To anyone who needs a good laugh today, kick on the English subtitles and watch'em just struggle with the accent 😂😂

[@DariusOfPersia]

I was twenty-four years old When I met the woman I would call my own Twenty-two grandkids now we're growing old In the house that your brother bought ya On the summer day when I proposed I made that wedding ring from dentist gold And I asked her father, but her daddy said "No, You can't marry my daughter!" She and I went on the run, don't care about religion I'm gonna marry the woman I love down by the Wexford border She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran She took my name, and we were one, down by the Wexford border Well, I met her at Guy's in the Second World War, and she was working on a soldiers' ward Never had I seen such beauty before, the moment that I saw her Nancy was my yellow rose, and we got married wearing borrowed clothes We got eight children now, growing old, five sons and three daughters She and I went on the run, don't care about religion I'm gonna marry the woman I love down by the Wexford border She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran She took my name, and we were one, down by the Wexford border With a snow-white streak in her jet black hair, over sixty years I've been loving her Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs, you know Nancy, I adore you From a farm boy born near Belfast town, I never worried 'bout the king and crown 'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground, there's no difference, I assure ya She and I went on the run, don't care about religion I'm gonna marry the woman I love down by the Wexford border She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran She took my name, and we were one, down by the Wexford border

[@Alice_karelski]

This is literally the most Irish thing I've seen today! Thank you, my ears have been blessed 😍

I think that hearing some of Alanis Morissette's songs in your style would be absolutely magical! You're both musical lights in the darkness for me and hearing her healing messages together with your wild celtic soul would be wonderful.

[@Yukkuri_peter]

The moment I started listening to this song, I started crying. The moment you opened your mouth to sing the song more tears came out of my eyes. I do not know why, but the only thing I know is that I was crying out of sheer joy. I am amazed about how you managed to make a masterpiece out of a masterpiece. I would like to thank the KZbin algorithm for bringing me to this song. I would love to thank you for singing this song.

[@FahneXIV]

CHEERS FOR THIS COVER!! One of my favorite of Ed’s songs and WONDERFULLY mixed and sung. Thank you, Colm! Wonderfully done!

[@morrigankasa570]

This is the only Ed Sheeran song that I like his original of. I like thr lyrics of others of his songs yet dint care for his original versions of them melody/rhythm. Anyhow, this was an excellent cover.

[@johnathanbourget4905]

Yes ANOTHER BANGER . The best suprise after a rough morning! Much Love from The chilly North!

[@samwam_studios]

I never fully realized how attractive an Irish accent was until you

[@kingofthedong3908]

right?? i just noticed this in the middle of the song i think its the best thing in this video

[@meandmyimagination4151]

I feel so good and carefree after hearing you ladies sing. Thank you for sharing

[@cosimawalter7358]

A lovely, unique, charming and stunning Performance full of character, spirit and life ❤ Whatever you do is a masterpiece🎉

[@AlvaroLHBremm]

I recently stumbled upon The Wellerman version of this song and thought to myself, "Hey, it would be hella cool if Colm covered this song". Hold and behold...

[@arashikashu5421]

Well I was going to be productive today, but since I can't write and listen to music with lyrics at the same time I guess I'll just spend all day listening to this on loop. We'll be productive tomorrow.

[@みるくかるーあ-s8k]

I really like your singing voice and the way you sing 😊 For some reason, Irish music reminds me of my childhood🇮🇪

[@DJone4one]

The song, power. It's like sitting in a pub in London or elsewhere and listening to it while the smell of seaweed and sea air wafts through the windows on the coast and the sun slowly sets.

[@Twistyfishy7577]

Your videos are honestly so helpful for someone trying to learn Irish Bouzouki with limited resources in their own area!

[@fluffylillian]

You should totally sing Sail North's "Bones" and "Tale of The Shadow"

[@nicholasthompson1387]

I always love how much energy and passion you put into your music. Your renditions are some of the best, easily 10/10

[@mrsjules810]

Still one of my favourite you've made !

[@DevsStoryForge]

My absolute favourite Ed-Sheeran Song 🤩❤️

[@redella50]

You should do the song For The Dancing and The Dreaming, the song Stoic sings to his wife in How To Train Your Dragon!

[@cinziamattei6586]

Oh, please, YES!

[@AlexanderORiordan]

Yes!

[@isono-tetsuo]

It's the best of all irish songs!

[@UTubeSL]

This is great! Enough of your own take, while keeping the best parts of the original. Love it

[@norbertvarga19_04]

I really like the background. Oh.., and the music is also good. 😉

[@blurred-antics]

Admittedly, I never cared for the original, but this cover slaps! Super catchy. Perfect for singing while spinning your love around. Also, the tavern space is coming along great! Excited to see how you keep developing it.

[@raymondgtaxfree]

So I hope its not just me, I am dancing all around my house (getting my workout on) with my 🎧 melodic headphones on to hear all the cords of music 🙃 while envisioning how amazing and beautiful life no matter the challenges! 😎 If yall have headphones, man here the songs with good headphones!!⏫ All the way up! LOL

[@Golfi101]

[@Slugger1990]

Love this song already and haven't even heard the original. Well done.

[@Full_Metal_Angel]

There is no one better to cover this song. 💙 thanks for this gem colm.

[@samchaucer4875]

This is it. That one song I was waiting for. Now I can die in peace. No really. Beautiful. I love that song & think it's iconic, it might be what we consider a classic irish today in a couple decades. There's not much to add. Some funky version wouldn't work. And you nailed it. ...or maybe...? Finnigan's Wake? Nothing you can take from me (Ballad of Songbird & Snakes)? Ok I'm not gonna die just yet 😆
