RIP Ronnie, They played this at my friends funeral, was killed in Afghanistan september this year....... I was on the honor guard and I cried so hard while marching, I miss him so much...... I can't listen to this song with out thinking of all my friends I lost in this damn war....... Miss you brothers...... RIP all of you.......

[@guycarrwuzright7189]

Jesus man, I'm sorry for your loss.

[@guycarrwuzright7189]

I know I don't know you, but God bless you.

[@robertnesfield6321]

I appreciate your sense of loss as would anybody; why the anti hippie? None of them are patriots?

[@The_CIA]

*_God bless you brother. You'll meet again._*

[@Frymando93]

As a writer, this song brings so much inspiration and joyful despair into my work. Its made me cry on more than one occasion. I wish this kind of music were made in todays time. Too much dance and pop music nowadays.

[@T0xicZ]

Fuck off.

[@one-armedgaming1661]

***** How about you jackass

[@jacobraymond9783]

Why has modern society lost the respect of great musicians like Bach and Chopin, to name a few? They were the architects of the lifestyle of music,yet we commonly dismiss them

[@Frymando93]

I don't dismiss them at all. I like Beethoven a bit more than the two you mentioned, but I've listened to their work lots of times. Great stuff. And you are absolutely correct sir.

[@jacobraymond9783]

Oh, I was not speking of you, just general modern society. And I also prefer Beethoven, I was just giving examples. Good luck on your future writings!

[@kungfuninja55]

This is for you Uncle Richard. To anyone who has lost a loved one for any reason, God bless you and your friend is having a great time in Heaven.

[@mclovin5441]

This makes me tear up whenever I hear it. It was at my grandfather's funeral and there was a bagpiper outside of the church and he was playing this as his casket was carried into the church.

[@cmfoy19891]

Aiden McParland Same here friend, and it gives me strength in a weird way. My grandfather always wished to have this played at his funeral and I didn’t want to let him down so we hired a piper to play this. God bless.

[@israelipiper]

Scottish smallpipes folks--not uilleann pipes, not Northumbrian pipes, and not Highland pipes. As someone said, listen to the scale--smallpipes. All great instruments, but anyone familiar with bagpipes of Britain and Ireland as a musician could tell straight away, even though a number of different Scottish smallpipes are played. In any event, this is a nice musical rendition, even if not the exact Londonderry Air one might hear in North America. Traditional melodies are not static nor do they exist in single settings. Variety is all for the good. And yes--Danny Boy lyrics were written by an Englishman with a great love of Irish culture. And yes--the melody is Irish. A great tribute to the powerful, beautiful, and diverse musical contribution of a small nation to the entire world!

[@bernardhickman4918]

very powerful word good sir

[@pamelagaffney7036]

Happy Birthday Vera Murphy ( 4 days gran 😊) Also played for the beautiful Mr Danny Dougal. May you both rest in peace. Loved and missed massively 💚💙 XXXX

[@codybuckler6027]

feels good to go back to my roots

[@GuitarGod3711]

This song was played at my grandfather's funeral. Whose name is Danny. Rest in Peace, grandpa

[@xXVardakXx]

[@Londubh1]

Danny Boy was around before Londonderry btw

[@madpixie02]

Well done!

[@MarixaHenry]

So long ago listen .

[@JGT20052]

We don't fall to death we grow our wings and we rise and fly to heaven god bless the dead

[@jacobraymond9783]

And Danny Boy, though Irish rooted, was written and composed by a slightly modern artist (I believe this was written either late 1800's or early 1900's, please correct me if I am wrong!) born in England. Albeit he did a wonderful job! Someone more educated than I on the subject, please tell me his name if you know it!

[@jacobraymond9783]

Thank you!

[@jeanclaudegasnier6589]

+Jacob Raymond Initially written to a tune other than "Londonderry Air", the words to "Danny Boy" were penned by English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly in Bath, Somerset in 1910. After his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913 (an alternative version has her singing the air to him in 1912 with different lyrics), Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit the rhyme and meter of "Londonderry Air". Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs in the new century; and, in 1915, Ernestine Schumann-Heink produced the first recording of "Danny Boy".

[@dallashalemba7970]

love it

[@Weejie2011]

The pipes here are Scottish. They are smallpipes, as stated earlier. They sound nothing like uilleann pipes. Hear the pipe scale, for a start.

[@Baeloth]

The tune is called Londonderry Air when there are no lyrics if I'm not mistaken.

[@50delidan]

the tune is londonerry air which is danny boy same as idiots

[@Marvel_Fan_Forever]

Oh, danny boy the pipes are calling you.....

[@dennycraig8483]

I still think it should have been Denny boy, love it all the same..

[@bryceturnbow9441]

Anybody know the name of the second tune and where I can get the sheet music?

[@Cordeman]

It takes the mass drummers , and their particular beat to make the pipes sound really appealing, This, incidentally, is a song about Londenderry in Northern Ireland and inspired by that part of the country. A lone piper is Ok with a pibroch (lament), but if you want to stir the people, you have to add drums. It was the British regiments of foot on the march that created real crowd appeal to mass pipers.. Even then, it is really the military band, without those silly looking Sousaphones the Americans use, that give the British the edge when listening, and watching, over an extended period. Whenever I hear a US military band, with its usual rythm and marching songs, I always get the feeling that its the 'circus coming to tuwn' and start looking for the clowns on stilts heading the parade.

[@danielhorton5105]

American also use instruments that can play more than five notes M8...

[@dgkleemann]

You know it's funny you mention the Circus. The U.S. Army may not have the same drill and ceremony discipline by and large you see in the British Army...But, war is chaos and the reason the U.S. Army is so exceptionally well for it is that the U.S. Army practices chaos on a daily basis. I'll take the clowns and stilts any day if it gives me the edge in combat rather than on a parade field. But I do like the sentiment of the massed pipers and drums, has a unique calling to the soul of a warrior.

[@Cordeman]

If I am compelled to go into battle, I want well disciplined men near me. One can have a sense of humour under stress, for which the Brits are noted, but yet disciplined. You can't shoot straight on stillts. The Americans are far too well known for inflicting 'friendly fire'. 'Friends' like that I can do without. The drum was the most effective insrument for keeping time, and steady both going to, and in battle before high speed mechanism, and technology was introduced, But wars are insanily and government sanctioned murder. Those who cause them NEVER fight them, so do not look for their names among the long white rows of headstones or walls of rememberence.

[@dgkleemann]

*eyeroll* Have you ever served? Your assumptions on what makes an effective fighting force is rather one dimensional. I daresay if you can only shoot straight when the conditions are ideal you have no place in war. You don't train to fight by being orderly and professional, you train by making things as difficult, unpredictable, and chaotic as imaginable. In the olden days rank and file was the best way to engage the enemy. In todays time that's the best way to get your men killed, disorganized and loose dispersion is the best way to fight and survive now. In any case, the drums speak to us all the same.

[@Cordeman]

Stop choosing words to suit you. There is a huge difference bewteen fighting when the conditions are ideal and shooting on stills, or anything like, when there are better options available - such as even not fighting at all. ( You need to read the 'Art of War' by Sun Tzu ) The best fighting force when not fighting extreme odds were the Germans, and they were the most disciplied, and best commanded (when not interfered with) of all. What wins wars is 'intelligence' The British advantage was its 'intelligence' (information network) But even that is really second to MONEY MONEY. Money power, whether indivdually, or in a vast military, enables you to get others to do the fighting, and even 'own' and direct both sides. Money can always find and secure the resources. The finest tank in the world is useless when there is no gas to put in it. As for on personal involvement. I have seen more of war, and fighting than most wearing a uniform, and still bear a facial wound. Now. go back and watch your Holywood and TV movies, and play with your toy soldiers, and while you are at it, try standing on stills, vever mind fighting on them.

[@Jester580]

What song is played after Danny Boy?

[@mattlance1417]

The tune is called Tir Eogan and I have the sheet music for it. Jester580

[@Jester580]

Matt Lance If you're willing to share I'd love to see it! Thanks!

[@mattlance1417]

Jester580 happy to share! I think I sent you a private message with my email attached. Email me and I will send the sheet music your way

[@bryceturnbow9441]

@Matt Lance, I’d love access to the sheet music as well if it’s still available!

[@90DayMuscle]

those are small pipes, not Uilleann pipes... Danny Boy is sung to Londonderry Air

Keep the spirit of 1916 alive! Soon Scotland will follow Ireland in becoming independent!

from Glen to Glen...

[@Bagpipermuntagner]

@YMe1121 I personally don't agree with you...i think that this is a scottish smallpipe...this isn't a uilleann pipe and i'm a piper.... :-)

[@universalcarrier1]

These are Northumberland Pipes

[@Londubh1]

To all those people out there who know nothing of Irish history, go educate yourselves. There is no greater insult to a Gaelic Irishman than to call this tune 'Londonderry' air. The people who call it Londonderry did their utmost to destroy this music and those who played it. It's the Derry air, but also known as 'Cumha Uí Chathain', (Ó Cathain's lament)

[@bryceturnbow9441]

@Londubh1 Thank you for the education

[@brucecollins4729]

@@bryceturnbow9441 irish musicologists believe a scotswoman wrote the melody and gave it to weatherby. certainly sounds scottish.

[@TheDarkPhoenix23]

Whoever said these are Scottish pipes are wrong. They are the Irish pipes, characterized by the softer tones. Scottish pipes sound more like you're burning cats alive.

[@TheDarkPhoenix23]

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[@heinrichdorfmann4349]

shaun mcalonan you seem to be a crazy mixed up little boy

[@ruslannunez4449]

shaun really grow up

[@creaturebrown]

charles Payne I agree uilleann pipes sound more like a duck to be honest. And the drones are not powerful enough to be a full set of highland pipes so like you said the only conclusion is that they are small pipes.

[@kingsizedmidget7294]

Scottish smallpipes, trust me, I'm a piper, I would know.

[@carlosvega1081]

Ya

[@SasJag12]

It was called Derry until the English screwed it up!

[@Nomadicmillennial92]

Most loyalists in Northern Ireland identify more with Scotland than England, they often refer to themselves as Ulster Scots. I know it’s easier and more convenient to just blame England and the English. Yet England hasn’t existed as an independent State since 1707.

[@YMe1121]

those are not scottish bagpipes, rather the irish Uillean pipes, not trying to be "that guy", but as a fellow Great Highland Bagpiper (the most common scottish ones) i feel as though it is important to educate everyone on the topic. still a beautiful song, and a very skilled piper
