Celtic Woman - The Parting Glass

[@gailnichols6493]

When my son passed away I choose this as the last song at his memorial. Many people thanked me with tears streaming down their cheeks.

[@happytrails5342]

I hope you are doing well these days

[@thesignedpagefan3898]

[@helencooper8506]

I'm so sorry your loss. I hope you are doing well. Nothing can be said to ease that grief but time. Praying for you and your family.

[@GhileMear250]

I love how this song begins with just one voice, then grows by adding harmony voicals, then a fiddle, percussion, orchestra, choir, and bagpipes. Celtic Woman has always been amazing at taking a show from a single voice to a theater filled with sound. A well deserved standing ovation.

[@MitchellMaichak-ze7mr]

That is dynamic , and dramatic , range !!!

[@howlingwaters2741]

My mother and I attended this show. We held hands and cried during this song. As we left the hall, we went in opposite directions having driven separately. I remember turning around to see her exit the glass doors across the lobby. A strange feeling came over me and I shook it off. 2 nights later, she passed away at a young 68. One hour after we said " I love yous" on the phone. Sudden and without warning. Cherish every moment. We see Celtic Woman every time round and feel doubly blessed to have shared those moments. ❤

[@Bissemandk]

A touching story, i cherish my parents, for what they have done for me. Celtic woman is such a beautiful band.

[@stevenleary1780]

Thank you for sharing your story! I lost my mom in the same unexpected fashion, and Celtic Woman's You Raise Me Up and Amazing Grace helped get me through. And Parting Glass brings me to tears. Thank you for sharing.

[@wtfthano]

Would you please tell me where this performance was? It looks very much like the Fox Theatre in Atlanta but I can't quite tell.

There's a lot of people commenting about how happy they look and sound, despite the song being about saying that final farewell. I can understand where they're coming from but these lovely ladies somehow manage to take that goodbye and turn it into a celebration of life, less so about the heartbreak of loss and death.

Wonderful Irish wake song. I love this song.

[@laurieyordy8354]

oh is that what this was, i thought it was sung before they would go to war

[@CelticTopCock]

Laurie Yordy No, it's a wake song 'sung' by the departed person who is saying goodbye to the loved ones that he is leaving behind. It is tradition in Ireland to have 'a parting glass' (a last drink) with the dead person before sending them off on their journey beyond.

[@kidragakas]

Laurie, I think the one you're thinking is Danny Boy; that's about going away to war

[@freestate208]

Thank you for the explanation. I got the gist but was unaware of the tradition. This is a beautiful tradition.

[@lizgraham9986]

It's not actually Irish. It is a Scottish song. It's just sung by a Irish group who sing Scottish songs all the time.

[@1sorryham]

It isn't too much to see them all smiling. These smiles are *genuine*, and they smile because they truly enjoy what they are doing. I have never seen another group really like performing and interacting or involving the audience the way Celtic Woman does. It makes going to their concerts that much more enjoyable. As a Christmas present, in June, I get the incredible privilege of meeting them in-person, so I will be the one who is "too smiley".

[@kevinheard8364]

Almost anytime I see these three women sing together, I get all choked up... It is so touching to the heart and sentiments to experience someone demonstrating such excellence and beauty. Reminiscent of a much more peaceful world...that we so lack today. Please play this at my funeral, as well.

[@becksnbama]

I could never get tired of hearing their voices. Thank you for sharing your voices for us all to enjoy. My mom spoke of you all a few years ago. We have always shared taste in much of the same music. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when she told me about Celtic Woman. She was changing and growing more with her taste in music. I was thrilled with what I found. I just lost my Mom Dec 3. This was the final song that I chose to play. It speaks so much of what I know she would say. Here's to you Mom! May you find the peace that you were seeking there at the end. I wish that you were still here. I don't know how to live in a world without you. It still doesn't seem real. Thank you again

[@Elriaen]

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

their harmonies remind me of a harmonica - and i know that sounds stupid, but when you play a harmonica, everything that comes out fits so well together, because all those notes come out from the same instrument. and when they sing together, it doesn't sound like one voice trying to fit with one voice - it just sounds like one pure sound. there's a unity to their singing that i don't think i've seen equaled, and i think that's really cool.

[@Jarsia]

AC4 brought most of us here it seems. The feels man, the feels. Assassins creed has been diving deeper into the Templar/Assassin story for a few games now, to a point it's almost been becoming inaccessible to new players. AC4 was great because it was a story, plain and simple, about a man, his family, and the friends he lost because of his reckless ambition. It's about realizing the cost of greed, and discovering the things in life that are truly worth holding on to. Its a story we can all relate to.

[@AgedBacon]

Edward was a real pirate until the end, he sacrified everything, and did horrible things because he thought he'll get an incredible treasure. His own greed is the reason he lost all his friends. He had to lose everything to become a new man. As Ezio, who lost everything to discover there was more than his own person.

[@magnumincendium7007]

Actually I knew this song months before the release, because we watched "Ned Divine" in school. Then I fell in love and I listened to sing song everytime.

[@davidknisely3003]

Nope, I first heard this song when PBS aired the Celtic Woman "Believe" concert in December of 2011 (well before AC4 was released in October of 2013). I have since heard it done live three times by Celtic Woman (the 2nd time, I actually got to *meet* them in-person back stage). While this is recording of the live Believe concert is good, hearing it done live in-concert just completely blows you away. In only a few more weeks, I get to hear them again from almost dead-center in the 2nd row.

From Wiki: The "parting glass", or "stirrup cup", or "le coup de l'étrier" was the final hospitality offered to a departing guest. Once they had mounted, they were presented one final drink to fortify them for their travels. The custom was practised in several continental countries.[2]

John G., I had practically every album the Clancy Brothers (and Tommy Makem) ever made and could sing the words and melodies by heart, even some of the Gaelic songs. Around St. Patrick's day I went with friends several times to see and hear them live at Carnegie Hall in NYC. I loved them, and wish they were still around. They were much more authentically folk singers with their simpler, rougher, more "authentic" versions of Irish ballads, sea chanties, songs of rebellion, drinking songs, etc. They ended every concert with "The Parting Glass." But that doesn't mean that I don't love the Celtic Woman too, with their highly arranged, orchestrated, harmonized versions of Celtic music. Despite their quite different style, I find what they do quite beautiful and often thrilling. There's room in my life and in the world for different approaches to beauty, as there's more than enough ugliness around.

The first time I saw "the girls" was on public television in 2004. I was entranced from the start. Don't miss a CD or show. Hated to see Lisa go. Here' s hoping another great 10 years.

This is still one of my favorite versions of the song. I like this version because the scope is huge and it has a large booming sound. The one at the end of Assassin's Creed 4 is also great cause it is song more peacefully and quieter. Still love both ^^

My earliest memory of this beautiful song was hearing Jerry Lewis torture himself by trying to sing this at the end of his yearly Telethon for MDA. He would start off, but I don't ever recall him getting through to the end before he would break down sobbing and someone would lead him off the stage. Thank you for sharing the Celtic Woman's amazing rendition of this song.

I was so happy when they sang this at their concert last Friday.

Forgot to play this at the end of 2020, but frankly, 2020 doesn't deserve such beautiful music. Here's hoping 2021 is better!

They have those voices that just fill you up and burst into a thousand pieces.
