Danny Boy - MALINDA "Candlelight Siren" cover

[@fc8349]

I am Irish born & breed and living in Ireland for over 60yrs, feck girl ye can sing an Irish ballad like no other beautiful 👏

[@StephanieSoressi]

You are breeding in Ireland or were bred in Ireland? Or both ? Just messing with you, Love. I'm 3/4 Irish me -- but like Irish whiskey, there's no such thing as 100 proof, yeah? I come from a long line of Irish bastards (I love saying that) & most my life only knew the Orphan Train whistle stop my gran'da was got at, and that my sperm donor left my Mother at the alter. Years after the paperwork was submitted, I found I was part Kelly, part Mitchell & part Michener. I won a trip to Ireland before I retired, and a was taken by surprise when I burst into tears, seeing the green of Ireland below the airplane window. I was not the only one -- the steward assured us it happens all the time to people who didn't know they had such feelings for Ireland. Hello from the States, if you ever see this. Give my love to Ireland, would you, Dear?

Over my lifetime (65) i have heard so many covers of this song.....especially after 911 and the loss of over 300 from FDNY. THIS is the rendition i shall request at my passing. My son's name was Daniel....We lost him in his youth. I will go to him and be at rest . Thank you Malinda

[@danielhaire6677]

This is probably one of the most brilliant covers of this classic on KZbin. I grew up with this song, as my Mom would often sing it to me as a lullaby. It was only later in life that I found out its meaning-an old Irish father saying goodbye to his son as the lad went off to war.

This song is a real tear jerker, and you did it justice.

[@David_Thompson]

Yes well done Malinda that was lovely. Also my deepest sympathies to all affected by the tragedy of 9/11, 20 years ago today. There has been a service here in London for the 67 Brits who died that day.

[@TopazKnight87]

I agree *sniffles*😭

[@geminienigma4421]

[@bettierusso5410]

This song is very special to me and my youngest son...Danny boy. Since he was a baby, every St. Patrick's Day we would go to the local Irish pub and watch the kids dance the jig during the daytime, and he and I would ask a Piper to play Oh DANNY BOY for us. Now, I am the old one, and he is still my Danny boy. I have almost lost him to Cancer, Genetic defects, and clotting disorders. He pulled through and we still go every year to the pub, ( he is an adult now and drinks beer a& tries to get me to dirink, he giggles with me on St. Patricks day.) I am now ill and we have only missed our "date" twice in his life..once for a elderly Aunt that died and I had to be in New York, and when he was in the hospital dying with cancer. He made it! and he even had the Pipe Band of Kells Irish Pub play Oh Danny Boy on the pipes over the phone for me when we were separated by the funeral. Your singing of this song is without a doubt the most hauntingly beautiful version I have ever heard! I just shared it with my Danny boy and we only have 3 months to go until we hear it on the pipes again. Merry Christmas to you dearest Malinda, and thank you for this. I will play it at my funeral for him to hear you sing my feelings to him when I no longer can. God Bless.

[@LucyJazzy85]

@Bettie Russo There is nothing new under the sun, and all that is now has yet to be and also has been before. Still, there are mysterious explanations and mysteries unexplained. No one knows exactly the month, nor the day, nor the hour… Even though you did not say it, I know your journey has taken you to the very darkest depths of suffering. All the worry, the helplessness, the anguish and the fear that only a mother can feel for her child; yet through your hope and your own resolve, you gave him your determination and your will to survive. Your journey went from the depths of despair to the heights of the stars when you gave him your courage, and your strength, to fight the big fight and to succeed. The only constant thing throughout your journey so far has been the ceaseless and enduring love that you have for your son. Your son is now a very lucky man to have a mother like you. Somehow I get the feeling that he won’t be hearing the song, “Danny-Boy” anytime soon. Love, Light, Courage & Blessings… 💜🙏🏼💜

[@KuraiYamino]

I sing this song to my children nightly (my oldest is named Daniel and his nick name is "Danny boy") i shared this with them and harmonized. They about fell asleep in our arms.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this song. So you know how old this cover is when you find yourself crying AFTER you’ve been desensitized to the song in question.

What a blessing it was to hear that. If you sang that in person at a concert, there wouldn’t be a dry eye in the place.

Imma be honest. I've listened to this song 3 times now. It makes me cry everytime I listen to it. Her voice is so angelic, you can really hear the power, and soft tones in her notes. There's so much emotion to it and so much weight. This is will always and forever be my favorite version of this song, it's just so beautifully sung.

Many people can sing this song beautifully, but not many can may you feel the emotions behind it. I honestly don't know what this song is about, but to me it seems like a father or a mother waiting for their son to come back from a war or some sort of conflict. Well done Malinda, indeed you are a siren except without for the threat of being killed part.

Okay. I just found your channel through a friend. So I'm late to all the comments. But I hope you see this Malinda. I have heard this song so many times, mostly done mediocre, a few times well, and quite a number of times very BADLY - badly enough to walk out of a show, once - this...this is PERFECTION! You have redeemed this song and given it the beauty it should always have! Thank you so much! I'm currently binging your channel! It's been heaven!

[@catkeys6911]

This is the most powerful version I have *ever* heard in my long-ish life!! It's such a wistful and melancholy song. A parent (father?) who feels he may well be dead before his son returns, and is so sad that he has to leave. It's really quite heartbreaking.

This song has a very special place in my heart. It my parents' "song". My mother was Irish, and my father met her when his ship was ported in Londonderry during WW2. It became "their song" during their courtship and was played at their wedding and both of their funerals. It always touches me and brings a bit of a tear to my eye, and your performance of it was absolutely beautiful.
