Shaun Davey's Fill to me the Parting Glass, Derry 2013

[@janmcintyre8595]

For me, this (with the original Ned Devine soundtrack) is the definitive version of this beautiful and cheeky farewell song. We played it as my husband's coffin was carried out of the church, and it lifted me to sing along. Thank you Shaun for this gift of tune, Liam for his voice, and everyone else involved 🙏

[@theghoulyard]

The Waking Ned Devine soundtrack is, in my opinion, one of the greatest soundtracks ever. And that's saying a LOT.

[@elizabethroscoe326]

Majestic! Absolutely my favorite rendering of this wonderful ballad. What a loving way to say "goodbye" to our friends. 🤗❤️🎶🙏

[@gc-vz4ib]

It's tunes as these that beckon now my Celtic soul to walk down heathered paths to find some quiet place of dearest friends and true, themselves in search of comfort from the gathering cold.

[@jeaniecoolahan2536]

After I saw Waking Ned Devine, and the Tullamore Dew commercial, this is definitely the tune I want played at my funeral.....and a toast with Irish Mist would be in order too!

[@zestyzirlonia6665]

I heard this version on the film Waking Ned tonight. I think I’ve just picked a funeral song for myself. Not being morbid but it’s such a beautiful song and a perfect one for saying goodbye to loved ones and friends. Thanks for sharing. ♥️🙏🏻🌹

[@brunsonpowner8925]

Zesty Zirlonia we played it at my moms after she heard it in the movie

[@Tkeane8]

My mom said the exact same thing about 10 years ago. At the time i thought it was the most morbid thing i ever hear. In the years since ive come to appreciate this song (especially Shaun's version) to such an extent that I wonder why it isn't played at every irish funeral. This song (and Waking Ned Devine lol) will live on well past us and is a beautiful farewell, in life and death

[@Wazzap54]

The only song I’ll have at my funeral. The beautiful melody, the meaningful lyrics. Sad but joyful.

[@cindycraig3164]

Have told daughter the same. Couple of other songs I want, too, but this is the one I want as my casket goes out the door.

[@patriciamay3779]

Ive got no love ones or friends. I've been too honest and alienated them. No one one one will be at my funeral. I don't care ! Ive told the truth. They can't handle the truth. I worried for my Dog. When I go my Dog will not have a true heart to look after him.

[@ianhogg8777]

Not bad for a song that has stood the test of time 400 years

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Beautiful!! I first heard this poignant song in the movie "Waking Ned Devine"! Thank you for sharing! It's delightful to see it performed live!

[@gavinjones777]

What a song, has sooo many great feelings and sad to. Instruments and voices come together to make an anthem to be proud of. This should be the final song of any gathering and celebration. Just briiliant

You are right....this should be the final song of a gathering.....

[@krnerup2011]

The song is from 1770 and first appeard in a song book called Scots Songs

[@HowardJ74]

Was actually known even earlier, appearing in a farewell letter in 1605.

[@gasaholic47]

Irrespective of it's age, that it has survived all these centuries is a testament to it's joy and power.

[@floridacrackerguitartips6004]

I told my wife I want her to play this at my funeral. Then, she can dump my ashes out the car window like a dirty ashtray!

[@snipper1ie]

When parents go, it's The Old House to take them to the grave. At the grave, sing the Parting Glass

[@lah67]

my dad said he wanted this played at his funeral, way back in the late '90s. he's now 80 years old, terminal with cancer, and they've stopped his treatments. he has included it into his funeral plans. hard to listen to it, now knowing that day is on the horizon.

[@frank0001000]

Wonderful rendition and I have listened to this so many times -- over and over. I just wish whoever compiled this had gotten the choral video in synch with the audio. (Some of it is a bit off, but the choral is nowhere near close in the early parts of this.)

[@Tkeane8]

This rules. Davey rules. Ned Devine rules. Carry on

[@TheDelacato]

Love this! Thanks, Shaun 💙

[@glorfindel2012]

Elegiac, lyrical, and lovely.

[@theghoulyard]

Davey's version was a beautiful "modernized" version without killing the traditional sound. I love both versions, but this is much more emotionally charged. The Uilleann pipes might be the punch in my heart. I played my interpretation of it on wooden recorder for my grandmother's funeral (tied in with Amazing Grace). I cried through it. If I ever got back into performing music, this is one I'd want to do, but at the same time don't thing I could handle it.

May I know the name of the singer? Wonderful concert it is in deed

[@annesheridan4976]

Shaun Davy

[@madddog6790]

So there's a piper on stage (Uilleann, *not* bagpipes), and we get the intro from Kenny G lol. Still, quite nice.

[@abbyniloingsigh7188]

That’s an oboe not a sax you dope

[@abbyniloingsigh7188]

And that’s Liam O Floinn on the pipes. Master of holding off and joining the song right at a pivotal moment..

[@Tmjr6]

@@abbyniloingsigh7188 That's a soprano saxophone, not an oboe. They do have a similar timbre though.

[@nf54551]

Good for Ireland, North, South, East and West.

[@baffofraffo]

I think that the uilleann piper playing is the Great Liam Og O'Flynn is it possible?

Indeed that is the late "Master Piper" Liam Og O'Flynn

[@leonaguayo4238]

The Parting Glass es demasiado más antigua que 1998 y ya es una canción y melodía tradicionales del mundo celta y sobre todo del Erin y desde luego no es una mera cancioncilla de funerales//expresa la amistad o sea el amor compartido como camaradería cuando uno o una de los amigos amigas ha de partir lejos a otros mares o tierras o a los senderos de eternidad siendo esta melodía canción una fiel expresión de la confianza sin fin en la vida que hay aun en toda muerte y esto es lo propio de todo y para todo celta//en buen castellano se diría que esta canción trata de la copa del estribo//Shaun Davey es un investigador de Irlanda del Norte en específico de Belfast que rescata esta canción-melodía del olvido y creemos que en realidad es anónima algo semejante y distinto al Mull de Kintyre que Paul McCartney le agrega una letra de su autoría a la melodía antigua y anónima del Mull de Kintyre//gracias

[@maryhatch9225]

A beautiful version -- and conducted by Gearoid Grant, no less.

[@manuelaschuster6847]

Liam O`Flynn, I miss you

[@rhiannonhill]

This song was written in 1605. Davey may have mucked about with it, but don't say it's a 'new' melody.

That's a great piece. Who are the performers?

[@imshinickjamal]

Come on, this wasn't composed by Shaun, why say that?, its his version to a very ancient beautiful song of Scottish origin, probably. These tunes have wandered the Celtic paths for centuries.

Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever 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 to you all So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all Of all the comrades that e'er I had They're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell into my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all Fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all La ra la ra la la La lala lala la la La ra lala la la La la la lala la la But since it fell into my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all Good night and joy be to you all Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: David Downes / Trad The Parting Glass lyrics © Wb Music Corp., David Platz Music, Arvee Music, Liffey Music, Wb Music Corp, Embassy Music Publishing Pty Ltd

[@foggydew3614]

Sorry, who is the man that sings? I'm sure I have already seen him

[@cougar2002law]

Foggy Dew I ask the same. Is it’s the men that are on the movie’s video. Not the same sound as the Clancy Bro’s. This man is my favorite singer and Shaun Daves is a musical genius! It’s majestic and proud full of the Old Country. The soundtrack also has some Gaelige verses which is perfect. I want that version played at my funeral. I have tried to find the lyrics to the Gaelige part so I can learn them. Anyone who can tell us who these people are would be great! If ya have the words as well please share! Here’s the original. It’s magnificent! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnWlaWqlYtOdfLM
