the point is that thru Ed Sheeran the younger people are becoming familiar with the traditional Irish Music. . . thanks for doing this Ed.

so you know ive grown up listening to irish/celtic music its allways been in my blood and bones and i allways enjoy playing it and im a young person in america XD

[@allanmacdonald8920]

I also play Celtic music, scottish/irish/shetland/French/etc, and have all my life. What i was jokingly highlighting is that not all folk songs are of Irish origin. I love irish songs, scottish songs, and all the rest, but I credit the nation's origin.

[@dylonthedog1]

[@mcsuibhne005]

Pretty sure that it's Scottish. Good song either way

the thing i love about him the most is that he is just casual. he is sitting there in his jeans, hoodie and scuffed shoes. it makes him seem more relatable.

I think that his voice cracking makes it sound better actually it makes it sound more realistic and seriously tons of people can't do what he does so I think he's awsome

[@Elliebet]

The first time I ever heard this song was when my family sat around and sang it at my Uncle's funeral. I was nine, but I'll never forget it. What a beautifully haunting song. Ed's voice just makes it that much sweeter.

[@pinot7914]

We have musicians...we have talents...and there is Ed!! I saw him live long before he got famous....unbelievable

[@michaelchavez65]

Funny thing is... I don't even think it was a voice crack at 1:36. legit think that's the way he sings it, listen to his live version of this. It doesn't even sound bad at all

[@jhomariebonggo7483]

A crack. That was definitely a crack, but, the way he made up for it, and matched the following word's tune is a solid evidence that Ed is a musical genius. Loved him since I first heard his "I see fire" back in '13, then I indulged myself to multiply then plus (a bit backward, I know.) up until now (divide) and discovered how majestic his writing singing skills are. With his vocal majesty and emotion filled singing, he can turn vocal cracks into a tone as beautiful as well-maintain racks. 😆

[@josephsharemi620]

SO what if it was a crack! Peeps should go sing their own crack and see if we'd all love it like we do this one here...

[@christinefitz77]

this is a common thing in irish singing its most likely a turn that i hear often in irish music

I agree. I saw him live once. Trust me. If he's ever performing in your country, be sure to see him. It's absolutely worth your money!

had a friend sing this at our college chamber concert. Great tune, going to be playing it with the band im in as our closing tune for the gigs we play

[@SaelaE07]

i saw him live and just let me tell you guys, he puts his everything into each and every performance, whether if there's many people or not, he just is a true artist, and thats so rare now a days, seeing him live just makes you feel so calm and its an awesome experince, its totally worth every dime

[@ronniebailey2037]

Dear God he needs to record this. I'm crying.

[@butthefiresinmyheart]

i still remember talking to him about this song and how beautiful he did it in Vancouver , and talking about how it reminds me of my grandmas funeral. He looked me in the eyes and thanked me for that and told me that he wants this song performed at his funeral. He is really a beautiful person who deserves everything he gets

[@kennethanderson2869]

[Verse 1] Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all [Verse 2] Of all the comrades that e'er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all [Verse 3] A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all

"The Parting Glass" is a Scottish and Irish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was purportedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne". The song is also hugely popular in Ireland and amongst Irish communities.

I was wondering what I would do if that happened to me. :) Honestly, I would probably have to re-sing the song in order to get it right. But either way, you should NOT have a cracking voice midway through a song - it's an indication of bad technique.
