Had my grandmothers funeral about two months ago only six months after my grandfathers funeral and my father sang this song for my grandmothers funeral and had everyone in the church in tears.goodbye Nanny and Grandad love you😢❤️❤️❤️
My grandmother passed at 84 about 6 years ago, in a time that couldn't have gotten any worse for me with also having lost a girl friend (edit: even though we had not been talking for months already, it still stung all the same) shortly before that, and so even though September is my birth month, I feel some bittersweet memories from this month. It is a very emotional one for me. That said, neither my grandmother nor former girlfriend, were Irish or Scottish, both had this performed for their funerals. I'd prefer to have "Time of your Life (Good Riddance)" by Green Day sung at my funeral, but this was all a very touching rendition that brought me back to those two tough times. Still is a sweet but bittersweet song for me. The guy who sang at both funerals was an older, kind Irish man and he also died recently. Of old age I believe. Can you guess the song they used at his burial? The very same one he sang for so many deceased people before.
Shows how many different selections of lyrics are chosen from who knows what lyric reference ..... The phrase " ALL THE ROSES FALLING" is likely more accepted as in the next verse "FLOWERS DYING" is the often used ... and herein it is "LEAVES ARE DYING " - which I never heard of in any context - so quite liberal interpretation apparently. Best and most importantly - Jim McCann does a nice job in delivery and pace of the song ... accompaniment is well down as well. GBjj
@@DukeLIngton is it written by an English man who based the song off the Irish melody londonderry air. The lyrics referencing “the pipes” and “glens” would also suggest and Irish setting too
My partner Susie, for some reason hates this song... Sigh.... I just do not understand!!!... She generally loves ALL Folk music/songs which I play as a Guitarist... except THIS one ??? Especially when the performer is the wonderful Jim McCann... sigh.....
Easy Tony, This song was written by an Englishmen over there hundred years ago an has Been rewritten and remade hundreds of times over. Made famous worldwide by the Irish folk artist in 1917 ❤
@@mrburkescarpentryclassqhs5452 Means nothing at all mate and it doesn’t change the origins of the song, It wasn’t made famous by Irish folk singers at all, The Irish and Scottish seem to claim it as there national song for some weird reason when there’s no real connection apart from it’s been sung a few times from people from them countries, I agree it’s been sung time and time again by many different artist around the world but it was made famous by the fella who wrote it and sung it, If I asked you who sang Danny Boy you wouldn’t be able to answer cause soo many people everywhere have sung it same as if someone asked me who sang Danny Boy I’d say Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Jackie Wilson etc. cause in my opinion they made the best versions but it doesn’t make it an American song, You understand?
I'm going to listen out of respect, but I HATE this song sooo much, I can't put my finger on exactly why, I think maybe it's too dull and droney. Each to their own and no disrespect at all to anyone to which this song is really important, in fact massive respect, but you know when a song feels like nails down a chalkboard LOL

Music is universal.
Perhaps its because Irish people are born wherever they want.😊
Such a lovely voice as always. He was one of my favourite singers. Greatly Missed. R.I.P Jim.
Reading the history about the song you just cant have a tear once you hear this song now.
I love this song especially this beautiful version
My dad's favourite song fills me up listening to it used to sing it when he was drunk he was buryed to it 38 year ago
Nice Tribute to the Irish Guards at the end, Jim McCann has a fabulous voice

Its interesting how one person can sing a version of a song versus another..this was how Danny Boy is supposed to be sung..
Agreed
Thankyou Jim

damn it we went from this to bebop pung pung taung stuff
❤️
The line is: … “ and all my grave will warmer , sweeter be”
A truly beautiful English song.
Ok
Irish
@@vestty5802 Danny Boy is a song .... who wrote the song? What nationality was he?

Well ... I'm glad you finally worked it out!
I appears Jim was a west brit with his poppy
My partner Susie, for some reason hates this song... Sigh.... I just do not understand!!!...

This isn’t Irish at all, Danny Boy is an English song and so is Amazing Grace btw
I'm so wonderful

Honestly try singing it for yourself sometime. The melody is basically perfect.
