My little brother Danny died of meningitis aged 7 in 1945, my parents were poor Irish working class people. My mother had 10 children 6 died and only 4 of us survived to adulthood. But, both of my parents never got over the loss of this precious little boy. It brings me to tears every time I hear this song I never knew my brother but he has a place in all of our families hearts. We are now only 3 siblings left my darling older sister died on Easter Sunday from the coronavirus, she is so sadly missed by us all. But, I, pray to the almighty that one day soon we will all be reunited as a family in heaven if God so wills it. Amen Thank you kingdom choir for a beautiful rendition of this famous Irish ballad. The only time a ballad was written for a father to a dead son in Irish folklore.
My empathy. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you and your family on your loss of those dear ones. My own mother also lost 2 daughters in their infancy to Measles in Africa. And for years, she cried over her loss. She still remembers them and her loss with some emotion. But thank God, she found the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and has hopes that someday we shall all meet as a united family never to be parted again.
I like this version but the one I listen to the most is byu vocal point they covered it a few years ago I love that one. Also did you know it was president Gordon b hinckley favourite hymn
I love this song it reminds me of my dad who passed away His name was Daniel and his family called him Danny Boy. I miss him so much and he would sing this song to us as children many times.😪😪
This song is for my cousin Scott who died un Nov 12 unexpectedly...you were like a brother to me my you rest in peace and god rest your soul. May we meet again on green pastures.
I can still remember my mother calling to me these many years ago...Oh Danny Boy where are you ?..may you rest in peace my beloved mother...your son. ..danny thomas
The song is known in Ireland as The Derry Air, which means the Derry Tune. Derry being an Irish city and County. A lady visiting and staying overnight in lodgings heard a travelling bard (a fiddle player) play the tune outside her window on the street.. No words are known to have existed. She asked a song writer to put words to it. It's about a father seeing his son off to war. having lost one son already. Danny, Dan, Donal, Daniel and Donald are the same name. It can be a first or second name. If a surname, it is likely to be prefixed by O (of the clan) or Mac (son of). It connects back to the biblical book of Daniel. Meaning strong man blessed by God. In the prophecy it was said a strong man would emerge as a leader in the world about now. Watch out for him, it is said is name will be Daniel and the hand of God is upon him.
Well I’m a little old in the tooth now and my back is a bit bowed by the load the Lord has placed there, but it has softened me and made me a better man because of it.
I think think if these beautiful hymns were played around the world, It would stop the corona virus, i would like to rise all these hymns to the altar of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
My husbands name is Danny ,,fondly called by his friend and me as”DANNY BOY”,,He passed away 4 years ago,,his death anniversary is coming this April,,and i saw this choir singing it,,i really cried,,i did not finish listening to the choir,,maybe later on,,i cried,so sad😭😭
I had the privilege of seeing the Tabernacle choir rehearse on Temple Square last October for the first time . I closed my eyes to focus on the singing. To me it was most heavenly sound I had heard. 5 days before that I watched them sing 'Loves Divine, all Loves Excelling' at the end of the morning session of General Conference. It was that wonderful it brought me to tears.
Frieden durch Chorsingen. Die wunderbaren Bildern mit den harmonischen Stimmen, lassen uns vergessen, dass es Menschen gibt die das alles zerstören wollen.
Aloha to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and everyone else responsible for this iconic song "Danny Boy." Let's do our best and ask God's protection for the whole world as we are living such troubled times~~~~Covid-19 pandemic killing millions of people all over the world, climate change affecting humans and all other living creatures too, hostility and waging wars among nations in the world, etc. In Jesus's name I humbly ask for your prayers and positive actions to promote more loving kindness and peace in this troubled planet !!!!!! Sincerely, Robert S.J. Hu September 30, 2020.
Choral singing almost always seems to elevate a song from lyrics being sung in a melody into a heartfelt communion between the listener and the Divine. I feel like if each choir member is a thread, then the choir is a window shade, and their unisoned singing is the voice of God, permeating from just beyond the veil.
Aloha to all of you that perform at the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all for posting this "Danny Boy" resonating song for me and the world to enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gratefully, Robert S. J. Hu May 25, 2020 .
Sang this to my son 38 years ago . When he started to sing it ,he always puy a little extra into "I love you so". Irish you may not be by blood ,but this song gets to any person who has loved ones distant.
Such a powerful song. It touches us the way we, uniquely human, should be touched. I love singing this song, but find it difficult to finish it without crying.
My Father in Law Alfie LISLE of Sunderland UK, loved this piece of music. having gone through 6 years of WW2 I think he sought solace and peace in the music
I believe I have all the Choir's albums; they're the best. And, if you like Danny Boy, you should view Shenandoah. The Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells of Temple Square are such marvelous additions to this fabulous choir. Thanks to all of you, you're just precious.
Red Rocks Colorado is one of the most unique places I have ever been. Very few people were there the day we stopped just to see the place. My kids had no trouble at all hearing my scolding from the "stage". .. and neither did the other people in the back who applauded.
The most Divine, Sincere, and Majestic rendition of Danny Boy ever Conceived for our Eyes and Ears! I care not who, what, when, where, or why such music came to be, all I know is that from the words and harmonies, this is a song of love...unconditional unrelenting love!
The ones who gave thumbs down don't even have the slightest idea how difficult it is to lead a choir to such delicate dynamics. The arrangement may be kitsch, but the interpretation makes it art.
Lorsque j'entends ce chant, il me rappelle ma tournée aux USA en 1959, avec The Littles singera of Paris. Ce fut comme un rêve de chanter pour des auditeurs si enthousiastes. Merci de tout coeur...
I was at this concert. One of the most moving and spiritual experiences of my life. President Monson was there and the choir was amazing in the most beautiful venue in the world to see live music. Especially music of this caliber.
Theres all.sorts of great genres of music out there, but some like this one commands the utmost of reverence, choral combined with orchestra, the mother of all music genres!
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the rose is falling It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But when ye come and all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me. And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
My friend just died lass than a month ago .She faithfully babysat her two precious grandchildren daily Daniel just turned 5 . Just came across this beautifu lsong I am sure he wiil miss her very much
I remembered I have to sing this song in my primary school (Hutching Primary School, Georgetown, Penang) almost 50 years ago. My music teacher was a English-born lady.
I believe I really do that at times we get glimpses of heaven if we are open to see them... it may be in the simplicity of a flower or something grander and this is one of those moments... truly magnificent - the Derry air... some lyric changes but lovely
I knew this song from my dad, when i was young, dad so love this song, ... but now my dad was rest in Christ.
My little brother Danny died of meningitis aged 7 in 1945, my parents were poor Irish working class people.

His name was Daniel and his family called him Danny Boy.
I miss him so much and he would sing this song to us as children many times.😪😪
I lived this song. I departed for Iraq and got home seven days before my father died.
Takes you out of this world, into another realm of appreciation.
This song is for my cousin Scott who died un Nov 12 unexpectedly...you were like a brother to me my you rest in peace and god rest your soul. May we meet again on green pastures.
I can still remember my mother calling to me these many years ago...Oh Danny Boy where are you ?..may you rest in peace my beloved mother...your son. ..danny thomas
My dad was called sonny boy by his parents and he used to sing this song to us . It makes me sad yet happy to hear it.
My dads name was Daniel so we called him danny boy I miss you dad ❤
My cousin Danny was named after this song, it was a favorite of his father's

Well I’m a little old in the tooth now and my back is a bit bowed by the load the Lord has placed there, but it has softened me and made me a better man because of it.

I'm from north eastern India and I love this song from my heart, you really needn't to be an Irishman to feel the beauty of the wonderful song.
You dont have to be Irish, just human
One of my all-time favorite Irish songs and done so beautifully by the Mormon Choir!
Music is the universal language
Absolutely Stunning. It's like the sound of Angels in Heaven 😇😇
This version is an uprising of serene melding together of everyone's spirit..beautiful indeed..
Frieden durch Chorsingen. Die wunderbaren Bildern mit den harmonischen Stimmen, lassen uns vergessen, dass es Menschen gibt die das alles zerstören wollen.
Brothers and sisters, you have kept me going through this Pandemic. God Bless you All.❤💯

Simply touching and beautiful! Dear God, guide us to abide by Your rules until we meet in Your Kingdom one day!
The Londonderry Air must be the most beautiful song ever written . . .
Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado is one of world's most beautiful, natural, musical ventures for concerts! Awesome performance!
I believe I have all the Choir's albums; they're the best. And, if you like Danny Boy, you should view Shenandoah. The Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells of Temple Square are such marvelous additions to this fabulous choir. Thanks to all of you, you're just precious.
Bruce's Dad from Scotland loved this❤❤❤ Very beautiful, gives me chills🙏🙏🙏
This is soothing and marvelous
I have loved this song since I was a little girl. And now listening to it it brings back so many memories. Beautiful. Thank you!,
History tells Danny Boy was the first love song in the world. Its 1000 years old
Red Rocks Colorado is one of the most unique places I have ever been. Very few people were there the day we stopped just to see the place. My kids had no trouble at all hearing my scolding from the "stage". .. and neither did the other people in the back who applauded.
Terry Russel Touce'
So sweet and melodious
Thanks
Red Rock is a beautiful venue. Love it 💘
Good song... good choir and orchestra... keep singing, Tabernacle Choir... I waiting the new performance... 😀😀

I'll bet this song reaches all the way to heaven, and back again!!!
Right now I'm glad that my mother was Irish.
Probably few dry eyes in the audience, I don't know how the choir gets through it without tearing up... wonderful post thanks!
The ones who gave thumbs down don't even have the slightest idea how difficult it is to lead a choir to such delicate dynamics. The arrangement may be kitsch, but the interpretation makes it art.
How is it possible to give a thumbs down on such a beautiful gift?!
Speechless, appropriate for what we live today. Beautiful song and moving.
What a beautiful melodic piece so well crafter by the Tabernacle Choir.
Lorsque j'entends ce chant, il me rappelle ma tournée aux USA en 1959, avec The Littles singera of Paris. Ce fut comme un rêve de chanter pour des auditeurs si enthousiastes. Merci de tout coeur...

Judy jacobsj
Wonderful rendition of a beautiful song sung with passion.
I LOVE the Red Rocks. What a beautiful setting & music.
I'm thinking about putting this back in my funeral list.
A song that will always stir emotions almost make me cry every time too,
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the rose is falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
My favorite song of all time. Awesome performance. Thank you.
😭
