"Danny Boy" | GENTRI Covers

[@dannysullivan633]

My dad used to whistle and sing this when I was growing up. I sat with him and held him the night he passed. I would so very much like to hear him sing it one more time. The time we have is precious use it wisely

[@DanielCurtis1980]

My father also used to sing this when I was young. He'll turn 80 this year. I can't imagine a world without him. The thought is paralyzing at times.

[@lukeman62]

Yes, so many of us learned it from our fathers - As it should be! I remember my dad sang this to me when i was a young boy. I lost my oldest brother, his first born, when I was 12 years old, and I don't recall hearing my dad sing it since then... I am performing it solo this St. Patty's Day, and I'll ask someone to record it so I can send it to him - he is now 94. I hope I don't fuck it up...

[@gregp.4015]

You'll be fine! You've got this, brother!

[@leelaural]

my father was a singer....boy was he a singer....he could fill the entire church with his booming voice....he sang Danny boy....still missing my dad all these yrs...

[@michaelfoley4110]

My brother is a traditional Irish Folk musician. One of the things he always said about this song is that as far as any one knows,it is the only Irish tune where a father expresses his love for his son.

[@jakeedgell591]

That's interesting, although it seems like this father son relationship is uncommon in songs in other genres too

[@therealcbumstead]

Yeah, because the irish fear being considered gay😂

[@touchztone]

Well Frederic Weatherly was English........

[@bobk1456]

What do ye mean tell me son oy loves 'im? T'aint natural.

[@jeremyengel695]

That's because all the other songs are about men expressing love for their whiskey bottles.

[@teresaproaps3621]

The french horn, the pipes and drums, and the perfect harmony sends the chills.

[@shivamchopra403]

I am from India. Mostly unaware about the back stories and emotions that Irish people have connected to this song. But I just heard it for the first time and could not stop my tears. Such a beautiful song!

[@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo]

It's an English song.

[@atticthehattrick]

This cover by Gentri, I love it too and listen to it very often. It's so beautiful and so uplifting. The other great cover of this that I like is that sung by Celtic Woman.

[@chrisfallon9678]

Written by an English man 👍

[@gregbrogan9061]

It is really a heart wrenching story of a father's love for his son. That translates to all cultures. But the thought that a dead father in a grave would be comforted knowing his son has returned and stands on the ground above him... I don't know - that just hits me so hard - I can't help but cry.

[@62Phillygirl]

🙏Thank you for your comment.

This life is rare and precious, let's not let it slip through our fingers like golden sand.Let us savor every moment of this precious gift

[@daphneraven6745]

My father’s best friend was a fine Irish tenor. The two of were cut of the one cloth and it was a singular family treat to be invited as a family to go visit his. The distance was far enough that travelling with a carload of little children, meant that it was at least an overnight visit, or more for a long weekend. Amongst my finest and most treasured childhood memories , is to hear him in my mind’s ear singing Danny Boy with all the energy of his very soul, as he went about his day, with his beloved setter at his side. It’s been a long time since last it was my pleasure to enjoy the household with his music and to hear his parents and in-laws speak Irish together. I hope they’re still enjoying their fine music the other side.❤

[@maxwolt9734]

My son was a silence Birth before 3 weeks. We're gonna play this Song when his ashes goes into the Ocean..then my little Kiliean is truly Free. I love and miss him so much...i would have loved to Show him my homecountry..

[@rahuldara]

God bless his soul..

[@wendycunningham2479]

Remembering my little brother who we lost in May. I miss him so badly. Learning this to sing for him.

[@HubbellNelson]

When I was 12 my father told me that he wanted this song to be played at his funeral. Although he has not passed, and hopefully has a very long life to live ahead of him, this song makes me cry every time I hear it. You guys did a great job!

[@chanyokelai4315]

Beautiful melody. I love the version by Emma Sophia and also the Korean version. Such a beautiful song where we can keep in our hearts forever.

My father died, three month ago. this is one of the songs I would of liked to be play at his funeral. I loved my dad and he will be missed.

[@lucyinthesky4682]

Just stunning. My dad and I would sit on the deck in the summer overlooking the water and drink scotch and belt out this song when we were reminiscing about friends and family gone too soon. When he passed and his ashes were spread I sang it alone. I always tear up when I hear it but this rendition made me cry. Tears of grief, happiness at a memory, release from so much stress that the world is in right now from the pandemic, that America is in from D.C., from the hate that holds the country, tears of joy from the pure beauty of their voices. Thank you for this. Tears are needed sometimes, they cleanse the soul. Put everything into perspective. Start a new day with a clean slate.

[@littlemom9119]

Thank you for sharing your pain. I have the same pain and sometimes tears just come for no reason. May God help us.

[@danbollen8065]

Being Irish American myself this song really speaks to me and even though it is very sad I think it’s a lovely song and it has powerful lyrics! Also this song makes me think of my grandfather because he loved this song as well🇮🇪👍

[@MochaMochi2009]

I'm singing this song for choir and knowing the meaning behind the song touches my heart so much that I start crying in rehearsal

[@BooRadleyTube]

I don't know if you'll want to know this or not, but the "meaning behind the song" in this video is not true. Frederick Weatherly had a son who died in 1910, years before the war, and his name wasn't Daniel. He starting writing the song months before his son suddenly died.

[@62Phillygirl]

The most amazing singing of this song! My Aunt sang this in church when her brother, my Uncle Jerry died. I never cried so hard, but this made me cry for awhile more. God Bless our Irish Heritage. I am so grateful for my family..I didn’t understand why the way they were, I understand now as I am the same.

I myself am german and so didn't crew up with music like this but i, and probably every over person has to accept that the Irish culture is beautiful. This Song is just so full of love and, in my eyes at least what art should be. This is a great work and i am happy that thus could make me cry for persons i didn't know.

I buried my father 12 years ago, this song was one of this favorites. He had been a sailor from age 17 back in 1956 all the way up to when he reached the age of 50. He was a very reserved man but the only time i caught him singing was when Danny Boy was playing on the radio. Seeing tears in his eyes i knew it held a very special place in his heart, now i also tear up whenever i hear this very special song. We will see each other again ❤

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. And take ye with my memory ever smiling Untrodden path, I'll tarry by your side And though you leave behind a silver lining It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If 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. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

In 2004 I went through a program called "blue to green" for people leaving the other US military branches switching to Army. I had already gone through Army basic training but in order to re-enter I had to go through this program. Occasionally we would have time to take a break and be silly (but in an organized fashion). One of the guys, I don't think I ever knew his name, got up and sang Danny Boy in front of all of the soldiers and cadre. It was very unusual to hear such an old traditional song in the middle of fast-paced modern military training. We all chuckled, but it was nice. I'll never forget it.
