I'm definitely not crying. I'm so glad and grateful as an Irish man to hear the music being played with this convection. Raise up and joy be to you all. For all those who don't know, this song is somewhat written by the individual who passed away and written for you. Song to be played after a funeral, drink from the parting glass and last final goodbye, drink while the spirit rises to heaven. Main point is why should you be sad? Have joy, why? While the spirit gently rises, so should you rise. Until we meet again. God bless to you all.

So...this difficult, but beaitiful! My son was diagnosed with a terminal illness when he was just 21. He outlived the initial predictions by 5 years. In all the time we spent together (he needed 24hr care), we decided to expand our minds. I am mostly of Scots-Irish ancestry, and his paternal grandmother was half Irish. We began to study and embrace our heritage. I even began studying Irish language (and continue in his honor). When we discovered this song, we decided immediately to close his funeral with it. My son never wanted people to feel sorry for him, and he wanted the people he cared about to know how much he cared. We even arranged to pass out shots of whiskey (sparkling cider as an option), an the last thing we did, was join in a toast to Tillman. The Parting Glass. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful way to send him off! ❤🙏 Go raibh maith agaibh!!

My ancestors came to America 4-5 generations ago, hailing from County Cork and County Wexford. I was finally able to go to Ireland December 2022, and my wife and I fell in love with all of it! The culture/heritage is so rich and lovely, as well as the land itself! Being a musician, I fell in love with the traditional Irish music, visiting various establishments that had the grandest music to dance to and sing along with. The music of The High Kings somehow stirs a sense of pride in me that I had not known fully until our stay there. I am putting "The Parting Glass" on my "must have" list when a memorial/celebration of my life presents itself. A toast to you all, lads!

I like The High Kings' version of this song. Their version is like a triumphant and uplifting announcement of a celebration of life. A final goodbye filled with joy and laughter. A grand occasion. Many other people cover this song and they all do the topic justice by making their version a quiet time of somber farewell, which I absolutely love, but sometimes "the end" needs to be raucous and hearty to uplift the spirits of people you may not see again.

My maternal grandpa and grandma were born in born in County Kerry and County Sligo respectively, and immigrated to the US when there were teens. My father's family was mostly English, with a faint trace back to Ireland in the distant past. However, dad found the right woman in my mother and her strong Irish family. He loved everything about the Irish heritage and culture. He knew the history and could sing most every classic Irish folk songs and often did on road trips with the family. The Clancy brothers were played on the record player most Sundays in our house. When dad neared his time to pass, he requested that The Parting Glass be played at his funeral. It has been 19 years this year and it still brings me joy when I hear it and think of that wonderful man. This is a beautiful version!

The day after Her Majesty The Queen died, I'm here listening to this song, sad but also grateful for the great woman she has been through these 70 years. Agreeing or not with the monarchy, I think this is a moving and unforgettable moment for history.

This was an amazingly good rendition of a very old song. The harmony was spot on, and absolutely beautiful. This song has been covered by a vast number of singers ranging from The High Kings, to Ed Sheeran, to Sinead O'Connor. and even to a retiring U.S. Army General which I saw a moment ago here on KZbin. Still, it is the first version that you hear that sticks with you over the years. For me, it was from an old scratched up vinyl LP album called "Come Fill Your Glass With Us" by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. I first heard this in the late 70's but it was recorded in 1959 and had all the hisses and pops to prove it. There is only one singer, with his guitar, regaling us with a man's last thoughts before he dies. The performance wasn't overly polished or highly technical. That recording was however, almost soul crushing in its simple honesty, devastatingly brutal sadness, and bittersweet beyond belief. It still brings tears to my eyes. Now most of us old folks who loved their music, drank a parting glass to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem as they rose, one by one over the years, and we did not. But for those who follow, do yourself a service and find that 1959 recording here on KZbin. Listen - understand - feel - contemplate -. and drink a parting glass to the small group that brought Celtic music to main stream America. "CONTRA NANDO INCREMENTUM"

This wasn't sung at my grandad's funural but I remember my grandfather when I heard this song. He was a good man and I'm glad I spent my early childhood with him in his last years. I believe he had irish on his side as well and so does my dad and so do I so this song hits me harder then ever before.

I've had a strange life. I won't get into it but this song describes the whole damn thing. I've shed a few tears. I loved this song for a while but when I beat AC4 I heard this song and it literally broke me. I was at a had time in my life. It's quite amazing how music can do that to ya.

This song was sung at my brother-in-law's memorial. His ancestry was hugely important to him and he lived to it as best he could. His memorial was a celebration of a well lived life by a brilliant, talented and deeply loving man. This song speaks of everything he represents in our family still. We love and miss you, Ian.
