SONG CREDITS:
Text: Frederic Weatherly (1848--1929); Additional lyrics by Keith Evans; Music: "Londonderry Air," traditional Irish tune;
Arrangement by McKay Crockett
Tantara Music Publishing
Performed by BYU Vocal Point 2012--2013
Soloist: Keith Evans
This beloved song was originally intended as a love song sung by a girl to her sweetheart, but it is now more often associated with brotherly affection between friends. When McKay Crockett collaborated with Keith Evans for this arrangement, Evans viewed the lyrics in a different way: about a father struggling to share his feelings with his departing son. In the newly written final verse, the father contemplates that perhaps he will outlive his precious Danny Boy.
LYRICS:
O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside.
The summer's gone and all the roses falling.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
O Danny Boy, O Danny Boy, I love you so.
When winter's come and all the flow'rs are dying,
And I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
But I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be.
And you will bend and tell me that you love me;
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
O Danny Boy, the stream flows cool and slowly;
And pipes still call and echo 'cross the glen.
Your broken mother sighs and feels so lowly,
For you have not returned to smile again.
So if you've died and crossed the stream before us,
We pray that angels met you on the shore;
And you'll look down, and gently you'll implore us
To live so we may see your smiling face once more.

This rendition was played at my son, Daniel’s, funeral. It’s as though it was written and performed for him. He was a magnificent musician. He died at age 24, and I, his mother am truly broken...I miss my Danny boy’s smile.

Having sung this song with a choir in high school, I can attest it is hard not to cry even singing this wonderful piece. When you hear a choral song, the best seat in the house is not found in the audience. It is singing among and being surrounded by those singing it. You can feel the power of the song flowing through you from their sound vibrations. More powerful, emotional parts are louder, and you can feel it in your body better than any sound system in the world.

Well spoken!!!! I've never been to more than a few concerts where i simply watched: it's MUCH more wonderful to be a part of the music-MAKING, than to just be an observer. I've been in groups varying in size from 4 to hundreds (Brahms Requiem with gigantic choir and full orchestra - was a BLAST to be part of that!!!!), and can agree with your sentiment 100%.

Ooh! This is so beautiful, I am crying. I had it sung at my father's graveside. They include the verse of song the verse that proves what I told people for years. This is not a romantic love song, but a father's song to his son going to war. My father suffered from his injuries in combat and as a Prisoner of the Gestapp and of the Wehrmacht. My stepfather was a POW, too. BYU's music is wonderful.

I've looked up so many versions of this song. From the 1950's, maybe earlier, all the way up to modern time. This is the ONLY version that truly got it right. That truly hit the note, not literally but figuratively. The purity and grace. The love, the power, the righteousness. The wholeness. No other even touches this. And it's BYU!!!! I'm beyond impressed. I'm thankful.

My grandfather served in WWII and Vietnam and passed away due to natural causes in 2014. At our family reunion, all 7 of his children surprised him by singing this, his favorite song. He passed peacefully 4 days later. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. It has been five years and I still cannot listen to this song without crying.

They saw the way things were turning and got out, but so many weren't so lucky and many others that didn't would have suffered if not for people like your grandfather. You are obviously proud of him and you have every right to be. Allow me to join you in that pride, may he rest in peace knowing he is appreciated.

I m an Irish descendant; this song runs deep in our culture. My father’s best friend was a fine Irish tenor, and this tune often graced the air around him. It was a jewel in his vast repertoire. There were never finer friends nor better mortals to walk the earth than that lovely family. Cancer tore him from us when he was far too young. I can seldom listen to this song without years of gratitude for his wonderful memory, and thought as I listened to the first verse, that I had finally found one that I could get through. But then you brought in the second verse. So still no version of this song I can listen to without getting all emotional, But I’m glad I heard it. That second verse, is worthy even of the original rendition. It’s not every day that somebody finds a way to truly make this song more than it was. Thank you.

Thinking of the Mother's in CT who sent their children off to school yesterday, I found catharsis in the words. "So if you've died and crossed the stream before us, we pray that angels met you on the shore, and you'll look down and gently you'll implore us, to live so that we may see your smiling face once more." Thanks Vocal Point for such a moving performance!

"In sunshine or in shadows" ... what this song means and represents in my life is significant but to hear our friends' son singing it, I am tearfully so touched, words couldn't possibly express. Such a talent you all have; indeed a gift from on high. Love this and will keep it close always!

This is a stunning version of this song. I found out years ago that an elderly gentleman I greatly admired had this song as his favorite. Best composition of it I have ever heard. And I heard in person an irish chamber choir sing Danny Boy. This tops them all.

Being of Irish heritage this song always hits a very tender spot in my heart (given that it's never played during good times) but it's a connection I still get to keep with my loved ones who've passed on. It's just a shame I can't make it more than seconds before breaking down like a child.

My goodness. This was so amazingly wonderful. Being Irish myself, I had to watch this video, and I can easily say that this is by far the best cover that I've ever seen of this song. This song song sound incredibly similar to "You Raise Me Up." I think it'd be amazing if you would be able to sing that song. Once again, excellent job. You've just gained an active subscriber.

I don't know what the big deal is - this is a beautiful song, no matter who sings it. Fred Weatherly, an English barrister who moonlighted as a songwriter, had written lyrics for a song named Danny Boy in 1910. His Irish-American sister-in-law Margaret Weatherly sang him the melody of the Londonderry Air. Fred adapted his lyrics to the tune to create Danny Boy, which was published in 1913. So stop being so mad about these guys singing it, as you well know many an Irish man or woman have sung American tunes...it's the feeling that goes with the words, NOT who sings it. We get it, Irish pride and all that - thanks for letting us sing "your English" song!
