I played this for my Dad (also named Peter) when you released it, and as a choir-singer he adored it, instantly saying he'd like that played at his funeral. He passed away on Monday after a long battle, and as requested, we played this at the church. I always felt this song spoke of the honour my Dad so casually wielded. It has always been, and will always be, my favourite of your offerings. Thank you, Peter.
Honored to share my newest creation with you. "The Parting Glass" from AC4 (my favorite folk song) LINK: The Parting Glass - Peter Hollens - Assassin's Creed 4
10 ปีที่แล้ว +6
Awesome as usual ! And AC4 is my favorite episode, so thanks ^^.
I was the one that originally asked you to do this song. Thanks! Beautiful, and far better than what I expected!...=) Congratulations on the new member of your family...=)
I just found out that a friend of mine from years back died today. I had to come back to this as a weird kind of goodbye to her. She was such fun and awesome person, and at 38, she died far too young. So, Devon, this parting glass is for you.
Of all the money, e'er I had, I spent it in good company, And all the harm I have 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, Goodnight and joy be with you all. So fill to me the parting glass, And drink a health whate'er befalls, Then gently rise and softly call, Goodnight 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, Goodnight 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, Goodnight 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, Goodnight and joy be to you all. *** if anyone wants to sing
I haven't played AC4 in years and that song still holds a dear spot in my heart, I guess also helps I'm irish too lol. Still miss our pirate friends though. Riposare in pace.
me and my two sisters sang The High King's Parting Glass in three part harmony for my best friend's brother's funeral.. he adored this song.. and now every time I hear it, it reminds me of him and the amazing memories... your harmonies and the nostalgia get to me every time.. thanks..
After having read the comments and having listened to this rendition a good amount I'd say that some people are missing Peter Hollen's person completely. A rendition is NOT suppose to mimic the original, it's suppose to be a personal spin. "Knowing" Peter Hollens from his videos, I'd say that he'd take a parting such as this, a sombre sorrow, deep as rivers, with the same spirit he delivers this song: With teaming emotion, a quiet power and with celebration to the life lost, or chapters closed. Minus the traumatic sorrow suffered by Kvothe, I imagine Peter Hollens being a lot like him when he becomes Kote, the tavern owner. A small part of me hopes that Peter sees this to confirm or debunk this, alas I know it's been a long time since the debate died out. I raise my glass, to all of you.
This song is actually an old Irish folksong from the 1600s. It's been adapted for multiple modern day media shows/video games, the most notable ones being the Walking Dead and Assassin's Creed. However, this is NOT a new song.
Hey, Peter. I'd be more than honored to sing with you someday. I don't really have anything for you to listen to, but I admire what you do so much. You're amazing and your kid is just adorable. have a wonderful day.
I am an actor at Medieval and Pirate Festivals and this is the last song we sing at the Pub before ushering patrons out for the day. Further, we sang this at a friends wake we held at show a few years back. Deep feelings come with this song and you have done it justice on many levels,....
I know! I have a good ear for detecting tones and chords, but these are odd in that I can't tell which notes make up the chord. I can tell that it is a harmony, but I can't tell what's in it. The chords are that perfectly tight, and it's that way with all of Peter's songs!
I'm 61 and of Irish descent. When I was age 6 the family dog died and an Auntie sang this song as my father buried him. Since then when my dogs die I drink a few drams and play the Clancy Brothers version. Teddy, Dinkum, Sherlock, Bobby, Cullen, Finn, Gadget, Gizmo, Bonnie loved you all and will meet again. Clyde and Jessie alive and kicking.
You are welcome. I always emjot the old standards from Ireland. I really only listen to you and the Clancy Brothers. I just wish I had pursued sinfing like tou have.
This is the BEST Aceppella version of this song, the only thing wrong is it's too short! Even after all these years it sounds fresh and exciting. You have a beautiful voice Peter, ballads suit you so well as does the folk genre, of which your covers I have listened to many times over.
I raise a glass to you, sir.. you bring true emotion to the tune and a tear to mine eye (which I'm sure was your intention) I wasn't aware of this tune in a video game, I first heard it in the movie "Waking Ned Devine" Talent rules over technology, and so you have proved you're an artist first, and it was just you... that deserves a raising of the glass, gentle joy to you., and may it last ! That child will inspire you, as you will inspire him, please don't cut his hair til absolutely necessary ;)
I cry every time I hear this gorgeous arrangement - Peter sent me the signed first and last page of this arrangement, which arrived in time for my 21st! SUCH a lush piece, with a lush voice to boot.
+Chozin Yi Actually, I'd be fine with him doing just about any of the songs from that movie (except for "Guy Like You"). My preference would be the intro song, but Hellfire would also be awesome. Or just a medley.
Anyone else see that gum commercial? Gah I came here for a cool song, not a tear jerking commercial XD. Nice job Peter, you should do more like this song, awesome job.
Person: "Hey do you want to get like 5 other guys to sing this with you?" Peter Hollens: "HAHAHAHAHAHA no. I got this" -how i hope the conversation went when someone recommended this
My son played his guitar and sang a version of this beautiful song for his grandma at her memorial service. She died 2 years ago today, and this came across my FB newsfeed just now. Here's to you momma. Miss and love you!
You know, I love this song and I've heard a million different versions, but this is the first where it's not all sad - it's even happy. And I adore it! Coming out of the loss of a very dear family member, this song (especially this version) really strongly reminds me of her, and how she wouldn't want us to be sad. I'd like to thank you, Peter, for making this (even though it's over two years old). It seems I found it just when I needed it. :)
I've known this song for years, and I've loved it since the first time. When I heard this in Assassin's Creed 4, I got misty-eyed, especially with the visual scene going with the song.
it gets awkward for me when it comes to songs like this because most of my early life was spent at and is still spent at renaissance fairs, and whenever my friends that don't go to the fair find these songs from a game that i haven't played yet know the music of. They automatically assume I've played the game in question and i suddenly end up on the lonely side of a one-sided conversation
I just lost one of my dear relatives. I listen to this plenty, but I listen to it a lot when I lose someone. Thank you for making this. It brings more comfort to me than I could ever express.
You know...I didn't think I would enjoy this song without strings.....but if there was anyone to prove me wrong, it would be you, Peter. A beautiful job as always.
Have you ever listened to something that was just too beautiful to be true? Well, this is something like that. It's one of the most beautiful songs on earth mixed with the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Thank you so much!
Got me again. You have a way of bringing the tears. The last time I heard this was at an Irish bar. We were there for a memorial. The sound of 60 drunken warriors singing it for a fallen friend is something I'll treasure. Thanks for the beautiful rendition. :o)
I know it from The Walking Dead, Beth sang it over a camp fire one episode. It really resonated with me, and the tune stuck with me for a long long time until i heard it one night during a run in the rain on an Ed Sheeran album. I stopped and listened to the entire song. I swear it changed me somehow haha XD
You, sir, have just explained how I discovered this song. The song in Ed Sheeran's album is "Give me love" by the way, and the episode of the TWD series is the first of the third season.
Margaret Decker ^.^ XD and Alex G Yeah i know! due to a symptom called the iPod syndrome (skipping songs before they're done) i never really got through the song and heard it. I never skip songs while running tho and thats when i "rediscovered" this gem :) absolutely beautiful.
Hey, Peter. I know you won't respond to this, but I just wanted to say that this was beautifully done. Thank you for bringing some happiness into my life. :)
If you're a fan of the song, check out The Bard Of Cornwall doing his a cappella version of this song. A lot simpler, and more telling of the old Scottish(not Irish) roots of the song. Then, check out Ed Sheeran, who performed it for AC4. Also, Emily Kinney sang this in the Walking Dead(Season 3, I think). I think Peter's version is fantastic(I'm generally impressed with his work), but those are some other versions worth checking out.
unless ed sheeran had a sex change on me im pretty sure his version was not in assassins creed 4. the one in ac4 was done by anne bonny (Sarah Greene).
I stand corrected. Disclaimer: I've never actually picked up an Assassin's Creed game after the first(I didn't find it that great). It's posted here and there that Ed Sheeran did it. My mistake, thanks for catching it.
I've been listening to this for about 3 hours now. So sad that it took me this long to find it! It's truly food for the soul. Definitely one of my favorites you've done, Peter. Thanks for such beautiful music!
I have been listening to your songs for months now but it wasn't until I heard this one that I fell in love with your music! Thanks so much for sharing your songs with us! And congrats on the new baby!!!

May your travels be short and may you always have the wind in your back, my friend. Your father sounded like a fantastic person. May he rest in peace.
I’m not crying... there’s just something stuck in my throat
I've always wanted this song played at my funeral, now this is my favorite version.
Peace, and Joy, again to you. May your Dad Fly High and Free!
I bet he's up there singing a beautiful song.
My mom died last saturday and this is a beautiful song. I am sorry for your dad.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Though your tears may be salty, the beer you drink in my honor should be less salty
i raise my glass for her lad she will be missed
Thank you, both.

I'm not crying. You're crying.
-I'm just after a bit of coin my friend.
sorry but theres sand in my eye
He drinks damnation.
I'm definitely not crying.
But so true
Of all the money, e'er I had,
I spent it in good company,
And all the harm I have 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,
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
So fill to me the parting glass,
And drink a health whate'er befalls,
Then gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight 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,
Goodnight 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,
Goodnight 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,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

*flashbacks* The ending of black flag where everyone is there in the table drinking ale and enjoying the moment. Made me shed a tear.
Celine c this I am from the future. That scene never gets any easier
Can confirm. Still hits like a fully upgraded jackdaw.
I haven't played AC4 in years and that song still holds a dear spot in my heart, I guess also helps I'm irish too lol. Still miss our pirate friends though. Riposare in pace.
4 years too late, but it did make me emotional

The song expresses how I want to be remembered. It is unspeakably beautiful.

It always makes me so upset when people think it's from something new :(
+Banzai Mongoose agreed
Doubly agreed.
+Dawn Wolff they mention Alas ? I'm not familiar with expresions ( in foreign languages ( im romanian ) ) but are they refering to the god or what ?
Yes Chelsea, it's just me. :-)
Sing way of the monk from world of Warcraft
***** Any way I could get the arrangement?
I'm so glad you made a cover of this amazing song,
love it
Hey, Peter. I'd be more than honored to sing with you someday. I don't really have anything for you to listen to, but I admire what you do so much.
You're amazing and your kid is just adorable. have a wonderful day.
Fantastic song and you executed it so well :)
P.S. you have a cute kid :)
One of the most beautiful versions of this song ever. Magnificent
What a beautiful song and performance! And the baby looks so sweet ***** Congratulations!
Тhx sweety this morning ....

Love this ***** and echoing Terri...congrats on the new baby xoxo
Yay! \p/
I meant \o/ mmhmm, as in a cheer!
This man has supernatural talent
work is the key i think^^
Sam Dupont, ***** is awesome, isn't he?!
Sam Dupont Exactly! It takes incredible talent to self multiply 6 times.
Heh..Its 'supernatural'!~ xD

Brings tears to my eyes everytime.
Amazing as always. So smooth. I hadn't heard this song before but now really like it :)
WOAH
Hey Chad just want to say miss the original content not the hackers the reviews. we all miss it.
29 seconds in... absolutely love it already.
This is actually a classic Irish folk song
And a damned good one.
you can say that again
Us Irish sure know how to make music.
+Collin Shay i think American Country Music is based on Gaelic Music.
+Gabriel Jacob Eberle Aye, it is.
Goosebumps and goosebumps and goosebumps omg. Amazing.
This has to be the absolute best video you have done so far. The harmonies are perfect and the blending is excellent.
Thanks David Davis I appreciate it my man!
You are welcome. I always emjot the old standards from Ireland. I really only listen to you and the Clancy Brothers. I just wish I had pursued sinfing like tou have.
David Davis Never to late to start
Orthan Risin any ideas on how?

Reminds me of my friend that died in Afghanistan, good job Peter, made me tear up a little, which I find hard to happen
DocHoliday 53 sorry for your loss brother. To the ones we couldn’t bring home
you guys all look and sound so similar!!!
LOL
Still wonderful!!
I love how this version has a positive vibe, there are several version which are rather sad but this one always makes me happy! Amazing job Peter!
Might i suggest you do Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame???
+Chozin Yi Actually, I'd be fine with him doing just about any of the songs from that movie (except for "Guy Like You"). My preference would be the intro song, but Hellfire would also be awesome. Or just a medley.
+Sean Murphy that prayer song from ND would be great.... God Help the Outcasts
"Out there" Is an amazing song as well!! I love the Hunchback movie!!!
Oh yes, please! Do Hellfire or the intro please!
QueenChrissiThe1st he did do a cover of it in his Disney villains medley over the summer
Anyone else see that gum commercial?
Gah I came here for a cool song, not a tear jerking commercial XD.
Nice job Peter, you should do more like this song, awesome job.
Person: "Hey do you want to get like 5 other guys to sing this with you?"
Peter Hollens: "HAHAHAHAHAHA no. I got this"
-how i hope the conversation went when someone recommended this
Oh god this reminded me of how fricking incredible the ending of AC:IV was and now I'm getting all the feels D:
I know right?!!
In a world without gold we would of been heroes
this song always makes me cry (in a good way) it reminds me of my dad who passed away in march, and its a beautiful song. thank you peter hollens
Does anyone else just start harmonizing to his songs cause I all the time.
Growing up with the High Kings version, I can say I honestly love this one :3
My son played his guitar and sang a version of this beautiful song for his grandma at her memorial service. She died 2 years ago today, and this came across my FB newsfeed just now. Here's to you momma. Miss and love you!
Played this today at my father's funeral along with a playlist of other rocking tunes. Thanks Peter.
You know, I love this song and I've heard a million different versions, but this is the first where it's not all sad - it's even happy.
And I adore it!

My Favourite Peter Hollens song! This is stunning
This wasn't his song..just saying
I know
You know...I didn't think I would enjoy this song without strings.....but if there was anyone to prove me wrong, it would be you, Peter. A beautiful job as always.
Have you ever listened to something that was just too beautiful to be true? Well, this is something like that. It's one of the most beautiful songs on earth mixed with the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Thank you so much!

woah, that is quite the compliment thank you Pat Floersch
Hai
So touching Peter Hollens.....so great
Very nice song Peter. God bless you, your family and specialy your little beauty :D
Someone needs to loop this song infinitely. If anyone can somehow do that, that would be AWESOME!
Beautifully sang, thank you for sharing this x
I know it from The Walking Dead, Beth sang it over a camp fire one episode.

Mubarak, Walking is a decent arrangement. Check out High Kings and Celtic Woman.
Spoilers:
Oh god why did beth have to die!
Hey, Peter. I know you won't respond to this, but I just wanted to say that this was beautifully done. Thank you for bringing some happiness into my life. :)
Listening this song performed by Peter Hollens makes me feel delighted with his harmonic voice work. It's so beautiful.
congratulations you gave this song a rhythmic sense which makes it less flat. and congratulations for bass !
This is possibly your best. Two thumbs up. So cool to listen to.
OMG - how did I go my whole life without these videos!!! SOOOO inspiring on so many levels. Thank you, Peter, for showing us how it's done!
I'd love it if you did a medley of the sailing songs in AC4. A lot of them are really catchy and I think they'd match your voice well.
Such good songs RIGHT!?
Singing or talking, he has such a soothing voice.
To me this is still your finest video. Great visual impact and some of the most beautiful vocalizations I have ever heard. A true masterpiece!
You should do "Auld Lang Syne"
Logan Mainord Love that song
Are you a fellow Irishman?
Auld Lang Syne is Scottish.
So was The Parting Glass...until the Irish turned it into a drinking song.
The Parting Glass actually predates Auld Lang Syne. Robbie Burns had a better PR program
the feels :,( so beatifully done
Edit: I actually shed a tear
We always sang this at the closing gate of the ren faire I worked at once upon a time. Always gets me a bit teary.
If you're a fan of the song, check out The Bard Of Cornwall doing his a cappella version of this song. A lot simpler, and more telling of the old Scottish(not Irish) roots of the song. Then, check out Ed Sheeran, who performed it for AC4. Also, Emily Kinney sang this in the Walking Dead(Season 3, I think).

I stand corrected. Disclaimer: I've never actually picked up an Assassin's Creed game after the first(I didn't find it that great). It's posted here and there that Ed Sheeran did it. My mistake, thanks for catching it.
Brad Simpson Ed Sheeran performed it as a hidden track on the album version of Give Me Love.
Brad Simpson You are stupid for so many things, but mostly for judging the series based on the first one.
Those are great versions! I personally love the version used in the movie Waking Ned Divine.
Ok so I'm drunk right now, and I'm Irish by descent, and this is an excellent performance of the song.
my Irish heritage goes back to the potato famine and when the Irish and Germans first immigrated to America. so im like 25% percent irish
your parting glass version just brought me to tears.. amazing. simply amazing
That baby's going to hear some AWESOME lullabies!
you should do something from the spirit soundtrack! like Here I Am by Bryan Adams
That's my favorite movie. I couldn't handle it. I think my heart would stop!
+1! I'd love to hear Peter's version of Here I Am!!
I definitely agree! We'd love to hear that, Peter!
I agree!
Thank you Peter. This brought back many wonderful memories from when I lived in Scotland.
goddammit, my eyes are sweating again.
I am not alone.
Ok who's cutting onions "looks around suspiciously
SkipChylark 🙄🤐
Lil Hyde sorry that was me
It's Mary ...I Know
maledetto Hollens..........
Bravino eh? :)
Your voice is just so good for folk music.
I bet he sings wonderful lullabies to that little baby...
listen to his song ashlands song and you know instead of betting...
This video is 8 years old, and I keep coming back, and I CANNOT listen to it just once.
I am blown away. Splendid work!
Out of curiosity, is there a specific version for Assassin's Creed 4?
Also, I recognize it because of The High Kings and Celtic Woman.
RvrStyxRasputin I think it was someone named Sarah Greene.
assassins creed 4 why you give me so many feels -cries at end video-
I've been listening to this for about 3 hours now. So sad that it took me this long to find it! It's truly food for the soul. Definitely one of my favorites you've done, Peter. Thanks for such beautiful music!
nice video!
Thanks Wayne Mansfield !!
you shloud do the foggy dew

We sang this toast for our Grumpa, an old soul of Irish stock. Thank you for making this.
I would love to do this arrangement with my choir. I think it would inspire tons of guys to sing. Is there somewhere I can buy this arrangement?
You should totally do the Attack on Titan opening!!!

And congrats on the new baby!!!
