The Last Rose Of Summer - Irish Tenor - Emmet Cahill

[@JosieTyner-s7u]

I am 66. Last indeed. Truly beautiful and sung with feeling and knowing this pale silver rose was once so red and fair...lovely.

[@AvatarPrimus]

Gorgeous rendition! I could listen to it all day! Greetings from Mexico!

[@prototropo]

We sang this at my grandpa's funeral. The epitome of a first-generation Irish American--he was Catholic, laconic and a union man of unfailing progressive politics. He loved good laughs over stiff drinks, and could play every sad song from Eire if an old piano stumbled his way. I miss him but honestly miss my grandma more--the epitome of an Irish American woman--more devoutly Catholic than The Lord, more tolerant of my Grandpa's mischief than he deserved, until what he deserved was a boot in the gitalong, which he got and which left Grandma to the loving devotion of 35 grandkids, all of whom adoring her as the first, last and best rose any summer could have hoped for, and every season got: a steely blue-eyed daughter of Ireland, who in 1917 caught every rascally Irish boy's eye, and in her autumn of 70 years later, made every good Irish boy cry.

My friend this could be the opening paragraph to a most memorable holiday memoir read. Big hello and hug from Limerick.

[@prototropo]

@@mccniall Great to hear your good cheer!

[@estherpoon207]

Thanks for sharing the lasting rose. Lovely❤

[@cheungmarcus9979]

'Tis the last rose of summer Left blooming all alone, All her lovely companions Are faded and gone. No flower of her kindred, No rose bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, And give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, To pine on the stem. Since the lovely are sleeping, Go sleep now with them. Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves o'er the bed Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow When friendships decay, And from love?s shining circle The gems drop away! When true hearts lie withered And fond ones are flown Oh! Who would inhabit This bleak world alone?

[@johnschuh8616]

Thanks.

[@VocalEdgeTV]

The dude on the piano though… Absolutely phenomenal.

[@maryoleary2037]

The pianist is Seamus Brett. Emmet is with the Irish touring group Celtic Thunder and Seamus is their assistant music director.

[@nancyarchibald9095]

Indeed!! Very capable and proficient. His key changes are amazingly smooth, almost effortless. Kudos to ALL!!

The other offices had their phones and email a week. My phone is such a JALOPYYHAT THE HACKERS HAD TO REPAIR THREE THIINGS IIN MY OHONE TO HAC!K IT!

I bet he could sing anything and it would sound good.

[@chrishoo2]

Amen to that!

[@spencersmith2798]

Summer’s grandest, and saddest, exit music each year…don’t count the summers lightly, lest they be all too few, even if many…

[@marinamostert6870]

May the road rise to meet all of you, may our Lord meet you .

[@davidphillips4063]

Nice to hear a singer who feels the music.

[@johnbluehouse4991]

I think this is the best rendition of the last Rose of summer that i’ve heard online period!

[@kathleenbolton6385]

The best version I've heard. Voice , phrasing, musicality, sensitivity, accompaniment...superb. Bravo!

[@aprilrichards762]

I was lucky enough to see him preform at a local church. His version of Ave Maria sent chills up my spine!

[@annefrancis9720]

[@catherinepreneveau3471]

You have such an amazing voice! It gives me shivers and makes me feel all the feelings! Keep it up. You are awesome!

[@stephenburns3678]

Thank you

[@myloveforya]

AMAZING ,💚There's a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering why, For it never should be there at all. With such pow'r in your smile, Sure a stone you'd beguile, So there's never a teardrop should fall. When your sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy song, And your eyes twinkle bright as can be; You should laugh all the while And all other times smile, And now, smile a smile for me 。。。。。。 And when Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, they steal your heart away.💚

[@deborahhigginbotham7276]

Beautiful.

[@Oziebou]

I just listened to a bunch of other versions of this song, and this is by FAR my favorite. What a simple, perfect rendition. thank you!

[@KG-tu1tz]

Yes, indeed! From a Californian who just wants to flee into the hills of Ireland...

[@jinilkim9706]

What a amazing performance in this break world.

[@rader304]

[@brandonluft8950]

Chills all over! Amazing!

[@delectableslectures]

I was introduced to Irish music thanks to this song back in 2006 and have been in love with it since then! Beautiful rendition, your voice is so clear and moving... Love from France!

[@katherinebartz8545]

Thank you for posting these videos. It is a great way to relive the in person concerts. :)

[@wotan10950]

I’ve heard many heartfelt renditions of this old chestnut. This performance made me weep 😪

[@GinaBlythe]

Is there ANY song you CAN'T sing? ❤🙃 You could sing the entire Encyclopedia Britannica series and entrance us all with your male siren voice! ❤🙃

[@donnawornek9391]

I saw a video where Emmet sang the phone book. 😆😆 He can sing anything beautifully.💕

[@margueritegerard4492]

[@colettelucas2532]

Beautiful ❤❤

[@andredeininger]

simply beautiful ... thank you for this one ... love it 💞

[@BellaFirenze]

John McCormack is smiling in heaven. Bravissimo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is a poem by the Irish poet Thomas Moore. He wrote it in 1805, while staying at Jenkinstown Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland, where he was said to have been inspired by a specimen of Rosa 'Old Blush'. Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No rose-bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes Or give sigh for sigh! I'll not leave thee, thou lone one. To pine on the stem; Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them; Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may follow, When friendships decay, And from love's shining circle The gems drop away! When true hearts lie wither'd, And fond ones are flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone?

[@nancyarchibald9095]

Such a beautiful allegory. A great musical choice for someone's funeral, for sure.

[@HeleneLouise]

oh my

[@jinilkim9706]

Amazing Great ~~ One of the best performance ever ~~

[@loredelore7286]

There is something about the Irish singing voice.

[@joanna-ls6nz]

喔～I love you

[@linneamalmberg368]

This is absolutely amazing! Such a powerful yet gentle voice! Does anyone know who wrote this arrangement?

[@jamesclark4523]

Who else found this from the walking dead?

[@edkratty1444]

Emit Cahill

[@johnbluehouse4991]

I truly like John McDermott’s rendition, but I’m sorry but Emmet puts it to shame.

[@humblecharlie4383]

good job for a beginning singer. needs to work on his technique more. right now he's doing a kind of mumble-singing (too much interpretation and not enough actual singing). the right vowels and enunciation of consonants are needed. he's got to open his mouth for the sound to come out.

[@angelespiccinini3987]

I got back to my 8 or 10 years, playing that beauty on the piano,and singing phonetically,badly for sure.Fortunately there is a privileged voice like yours, that honors it.Thanks,Emmet.
