I once had a dear friend in Ballymoney, who ran a bar. I spent many a happy hour drinking harp & whiskey, whilst listening to this one

[@1968harmony]

Such a beautiful song... have not heard it in many years, it also brought me to tears... Takes me back to 1968 when I was 16...I meet the love of my life, he was Scots not Irish, and we meet in a news agency where I worked... we were engaged to marry when I was 18 but when I was 20 ... sadly he was reckless with my heart, which I know he has always regretted, he always loved me and I him ! we both married others !! the moral of the story is don’t be reckless with some ones heart, It changes your destiny.

[@proudinfidel2194]

I gave you a tick as I'm 1968 as well. Not my real photo lol

[@shaunnewman9544]

Yes, I was the reckless one back in 69' and like you married, twice, but have always regretted my wayward path in those early years, it has also cost me dearly. Now there is no path back to the lifelong love of my life. Youth is sometimes wasted on the young.

[@mitchaok]

the singer is Scottish, Davey Arthur, if that helps.

[@mitchaok]

@Walter Samuel Which part did Finbar sing ?, all i hear is davy Arthur.

[@estefaniamonastero625]

It does so indeed.....

[@DenysPeel]

So much passion in his voice...The wonderful voices that the Irish are blessed with.

[@fluorosco]

I tear-up when he says " when you were sweeeeeeet, when you were sweeet sixteen". Only discovered it on ol top of pops on youtube. But lm glad its new to me.❤

[@Seanmcdhuibhne]

She still comes to me in my dreams of long ago.

[@tomwalsh9735]

I married my sweet sixteen forty five years ago. This song evokes such wonderful memories thanks Fureys

[@nharalhashemi7484]

I listen to this song over and over. such deep passion, strong voice, and great lyrics

[@tommyross5959]

For my mother Grace Maureen Ross who gave me life aged 16, now gone XXxX

[@johndowse8045]

R.I.P. Mum will always love you.

[@paulmeekcoms217]

Now here's a challenge. Try listening to this without a tear in your eye!

[@3267ok]

This song makes me so proud to be from Dublin .I love this man.💚💚

[@charlesfortescue8631]

Gorgeous!!! (I just LOVE that plinking banjo)

[@Dave_Vee]

The sound on this version is fantastic.

[@DavidSmith-ne5cb]

Still listening to this beautiful piece of music years and years after hearing it for the first time. EPIC!

[@Ronnie-lu7uo]

Ditto.. addictive. All of us here have memories. of Love & Loss, this gets to us on many.levels ❤

[@FACELOWNER]

She is without doubt a stunning young lady, but even she cannot surpass the beauty of this magical song.

[@paulinedixon3490]

Such a beautiful song.

[@JeffreySawyer-y7x]

A beautiful, lyrical rendition. I am part Irish myself. I have always loved this version.

[@raime991]

My dad any mum this was there song,together from they were 16... My dad left us 3 years ago this December 12... A day after my mum’s birthday... Died very suddenly and honestly can’t get over it at all... So hard tears in my eyes writhing this love you always dad Xx

[@JayMacTìre]

I think they be happy looking down at what they made

[@robertsmith3073]

They are both in the arms of Jesus Christ in Heaven, worry and grieve not my friend. Bob

[@ChrisMacri376]

The sounds and soul in this song are truly beautiful

[@MrStatto1970]

One of my all time favourites

[@JasonDunlop247]

The most beautiful song of all time...

[@fluorosco]

Easy

[@stevenmassey9644]

It's one of the oldest most beautiful songs I have ever heard ..written over 100 years ago x

[@jonhouston5372]

Highly recommend the same group's equally wonderful "When I Grow Too Old to Dream". Both songs turn my heart to mush as I think back to my sadly deceased sweetheart lady and our 57 loving years together !! ❤️

[@dannylovesya2052]

It can drag up so much emotion this song. To be 16 again with the brain I have now.

[@donnietobasco9791]

I hear ya.....me too bro!!

[@gloriacole4241]

[@nigel5768]

Maybe just maybe one of the most beautiful love songs ever

[@Ted44fs]

amazing how beautiful and heartfelt this song is, will always be remembered for its purity and genius

[@DavidSmith-ne5cb]

What a beautiful song. Very melancholy and loving. Oh to be sweet sixteen.

[@derekstocker6661]

This is so superb, not heard for years but this brings back so many lovely memories. Fantastic sounds...

[@buffermoore]

What a lovely song

[@donnietobasco9791]

The string arrangement on this version is somewhat fuller and richer than the other "ensemble/quartet" version out there....and the song fully deserves this treatment. It's an emotive song WITHOUT any strings...but by god.....this version lifts it to an otherworldly level. What an enchantingly beautiful song this is.

[@jonhouston5372]

About the "fuller and richer" aspect: this version of Finbar's evocative song is from the album "The Best of The Furys and Davey Arthur", and the arrangement quality is typical of the entire collection. By my estimation, this album is a later rework of their best "tug-your-heartstrings" songs, which features a gloriously full, top-notch, string orchestra as their accompaniment. I regularly listen to the entire playlist via my earphones -- essentially whenever I need an emotional "fix" 😢

[@michaelmcloughlin5798]

The banjo on this is superb.

[@unterwant]

Finbar is playing ........ superb, wonderful, emotional, perfect music ... 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
