Agreed. I myself discovered this film in 2020 when Dan Vávra- the lead developer of my all-time favourite game Mafia from 2002 talked about gangster movies which he took inspiration from and Miller's Crossing was mentioned among them. Since the first time I watched it, it is among my TOP gangster movies of all time.
I have heard many, many people sing Danny Boy, male and female , and from decades ago until today. This is without doubt the best version of all of them. Fantastic, unsurpassed.
@@antobears It's great, but my personal favorite was one I heard very soon after losing a girl friend and my grandmother in the span of two weeks from each other, which is the reason why my grades in my first year of college were terrible, but Jim McCann's version always gets to me because it's the one I heard in the car on the way home from the funeral of my grandmother.
Damned good movie, and Frank Patterson had the absolute best version of Danny Boy. He could go from a whisper to really belting out the power in a song, and amazing how long he could hold a note. R.I.P Frank Patterson
I love Frank Paterson because of my beloved Grampa Thomas. I just cleared his service plaque at his final resting place on this Father's Day. It's been almost 27 years since he's been gone & I miss him every day. I played some Frank Paterson while clearing his plaque and telling my youngest two kids about what a wonderful person he was. I love you Grampa.
He kills it. He kicks it to the moon. The best melody in history combined with this fantastic voice. So thrilling. So meaningful. I am proud to be a Meehan.
This is a truly beautiful version of Danny Boy, and I dedicate it to my lovely brother Dave who died prematurely last year. His birthday would have been tomorrow (8th September). Dave, I hope you're sleeping in peace. Love you so much, miss you so much. J. xxx
I loved the film, but the strong accents made it less than appealing to the word of mouth population, which is required for attendance to make a film a great one. So many characters introduced, that it was almost too many sidebar stories to keep up with. That was the flim's greatest distraction, but I do love the film.
I liked the music in Miller's Crossing so much that I bought the soundtrack. LOL. The one and only time in my 70 years I've ever done that. Keeping in mind that Mr. Patterson stopped my breath with his song in John Huston's movie "The Dead."
It's impossible for me to stop crying when listening to this extraordinary version of Danny Boy! It's very sad that this world is so messed up...potentially LOVE could fix everything!!
My Dad always used to whistle the tune to Danny Boy all of his 72 years so thats what we had played at his funeral God Bless him, so when my wonderful Mom passed i listened to so many versions but Frank Patterson's was the one that i chose 💔 i love this song so much i even called my beautiful dog Danny Boy, he has passed too now but i vision my Dad, Mom & Dan waiting patiently for me when its my time & i have told my partner that i want Frank's version of DANNY BOY at my funeral 💔
It is absolutely the finest. Irish in graves weep at the sound of this version. RIP Frank............you were a kind and gentle man. Thanks for sharing your God-given gift with the rest of the World
I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to him when gave a concert near my home many years ago, so sad he died so young. it was very easy speaking to Frank great personality also. Thank you for making so many people happy. rest in peace
My brother in law, who is Irish, ran into him once in Ireland in the countryside, muddy boots and all. Said he didn't recognize him at first and that seemed like pretty regular guy.
My irish ma loved Frank Patterson even though she wasn't into Irish stuff much except the hatred for English things and stuff like this..She sang this to me alot when i was a wee tyke, and tis something i've never forgotten..Your Great Uncle was sure great..
Thank you for preserving this! Frank Patterson was an amazing man, whom I had the grace to know personally. Witty, kind, hilarious! His wife (Eilie) was lace curtains and proper, while Frank had the demeanor of an Everyman. They were both wonderful human beings whom I miss. Thank you again for preserving this.
I like your counterpoint idea. To hear Danny Boy as only sad is to miss the incredible positive core of eternal love that the song holds. Thanks for your inspiring take on it. I love the song and I'm thankful that so many people have sung it so well and that with youtube you can listen to as many as you want. Stay well.
I love this song I was watching Mills Crossing a few minutes ago and the song came up on the movie so I put it in here to find it. I just love the tune
Mitchel Mills A woman doesn't need to be singing anything, you're being very pedantic and taking the lyrics far too seriously, it's a song for gods sake lol.
Thank you, thank you James Buckie. I am agreeing with another commenter that this is the best version of "Danny Boy". It brought tears to my eyes also, as to another commenter. May the precious soul of Mr. Patterson be in the heavenly choir now showing them how it's done.
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 roses 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, It's 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, If 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, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
What is the point, for some internet surfing music listener to use the TH-cam comments area to post the lyrics to a song, perfectly clear and understandable lyrics that other internet surfing music listeners are able to hear and understand? What is your point?
Last time i heard this rendition of this song must be soon after the classic Miller's Crossing it shook me then and just has again, wow also my youngest of 4 sons grown up is DANNY, although apart he's fine
:'( Such a great Poem. Nothing could have made the song better than the Period Film from Coen brothers. The movie is my all time Fav, sadly not lot of people know about it.
Wow, this version is so good! I'm listening to it right now, damn the sorrow that he injects is so intense. The hopeful music that adds counterpoint to his saddening vocals that are as sad as they are inspiring of promising love. I really enjoy that. Thanks for forwarding me it.
I remember when I first listened to this, Miller's Crossing was a great fucking movie that's underappreciated to the point of it not mattering, because it's a great film and it doesn't need no fanbase, just love. But this song, maaan this song was sooo beautiful and haunting, and by far the best version of this classic, I've listened to quiet a few versions of this song, I think like 10 or 15, out of the dozens out there. this and the johnny Cash version really get me going with their sincerity
There musta been some Lypracohen magic in that tommy gun of Albert Finney. It shot at least two hundred rounds. If its not the best version of all time it is one of the best shootouts in the history of film.
Weatherly wrote it with the mindset of the Irish. When would a Brit say to kneel at a grave and say an "Ave (Hail Mary) there for me". The Irish always ask to say an "Ave" for me (short for Ave Maria).
Miller's Crossing is, in my opinion, not just the Coens' greatest film but the greatest film ever made. And they picked the absolutely perfect version of Danny boy for the Thompson scene.
The old man's still an artist with a Thompson
There's nothing more foolish than a man chasing his hat.

Longhammer37214 look into your heart, tommy look into your heart....... what heart.......
One of my favorite movie scenes of ALL-TIME.
Miller's Crossing is a timeless classic. Hugely under-appreciated when released, it is a gem for later generations to discover.
Just watched it last night and it is hands down the best Cohen bros. film. Horribly underrated and deserves more credit.
@@puddinpop1835 Just saw it tonight. Fabulous, and this is the best version of "O Danny Boy." No question.
Agree 100%
Yep

Try John McDermott
It's truly beautiful.
It surely is the best. Oh my brother, Testify !
Check Harry Belafonte's next -- I was amazed at his ability to be both powerful yet tender.
@brandonfurstenburg1303 I think it a great version, but my personal favorite is definitely Jim McCann's version.
I sang this at my father's funeral six months ago, and I can no longer listen to this song without crying. I miss you, da ... you were my best friend.
Not alone ☘️🚬🥂🖤
Same here.
I feel the pain me boi.
This is one of the finest films ever made, and Frank Patterson's singing is without equal!
Love the tune and the movie
@@antobears It's great, but my personal favorite was one I heard very soon after losing a girl friend and my grandmother in the span of two weeks from each other, which is the reason why my grades in my first year of college were terrible, but Jim McCann's version always gets to me because it's the one I heard in the car on the way home from the funeral of my grandmother.
This version is the gold standard. Miller's Crossing was a classic!

As a child my Pop would sing this to me all the time. As the tears would come down y face I would ask "sing it again" I will be seeing you Papa.
He kills it. He kicks it to the moon. The best melody in history combined with this fantastic voice. So thrilling. So meaningful. I am proud to be a Meehan.
Listening to this on St. Patrick's Day -- me Irish eyes are cryin.'
So beautiful.
I lost me best friend!!!!!! He died 2 days ago!!!!!!!!!
I remember my Momma walking around the house singing Danny Boy, terribly off key, but it was beautiful to me.... This song always brings a tear.
Heres to You Albert Finney!!
RIP February, 8.2019
A Great song for a Great Actor!
No way, Albert Finney dead??? RIP a master of actors!!! 😖😖😖
One of the underrated greats
I loved him in Scrooge (1970)
This is a truly beautiful version of Danny Boy, and I dedicate it to my lovely brother Dave who died prematurely last year. His birthday would have been tomorrow (8th September). Dave, I hope you're sleeping in peace. Love you so much, miss you so much.

One of the best versions out there in my view as a fellow musician, classical pianist and singer.
Hands down best rendition! And a great underappreciated movie!
Agreed & agreed.
The Coen Brothers' best-kept secret
I loved the film, but the strong accents made it less than appealing to the word of mouth population, which is required for attendance to make a film a great one. So many characters introduced, that it was almost too many sidebar stories to keep up with. That was the flim's greatest distraction, but I do love the film.

Absolutely - both the vocal and the orchestration - sublime.
My Mother, G-d rest her soul, Loved this song and used to sing it beautifully. I miss her so.
ditto mine two miss her so much
It's impossible for me to stop crying when listening to this extraordinary version of Danny Boy! It's very sad that this world is so messed up...potentially LOVE could fix everything!!
My favorite recording of Danny Boy. Extraordinarily beautiful
My Dad always used to whistle the tune to Danny Boy all of his 72 years so thats what we had played at his funeral God Bless him, so when my wonderful Mom passed i listened to so many versions but Frank Patterson's was the one that i chose 💔 i love this song so much i even called my beautiful dog Danny Boy, he has passed too now but i vision my Dad, Mom & Dan waiting patiently for me when its my time & i have told my partner that i want Frank's version of DANNY BOY at my funeral 💔
"the old man is still an artist with a thompson"
you stole my quote mr Inside-Outski !
Yep. That's the quote. :)
I watched this movie on my laptop years ago. When I have a TV, this will be the first movie that I will watch on the TV.
It is absolutely the finest. Irish in graves weep at the sound of this version. RIP Frank............you were a kind and gentle man. Thanks for sharing your God-given gift with the rest of the World
Frank Patterson was in my opinion the very very best Irish tenor that there ever was bar none! RIP Sir!
It doesn't get any better than this.
U bet! 🥺😭
I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to him when gave a concert near my home many years ago, so sad he died so young. it was very easy speaking to
Frank great personality also. Thank you for making so many people happy.
rest in peace
My brother in law, who is Irish, ran into him once in Ireland in the countryside, muddy boots and all. Said he didn't recognize him at first and that seemed like pretty regular guy.
Definitely the best version... the emotions...
what a fantastic version thank you for putting it on Frank Patterson was my Great Uncle and still is missed xxx
My irish ma loved Frank Patterson even though she wasn't into Irish stuff much except the hatred for English things and stuff like this..She sang this to me alot when i was a wee tyke, and tis something i've never forgotten..Your Great Uncle was sure great..
The movie has been shown on tv some days ago. That is most touching interpretation I ever heard. Thank you so much!
One of my brothers closest friends sang this at our dad's funeral what beautiful voices they both have I'll always love this song
I love Frank Patterson singing this..and anything else. Thanks
The best rendition I've heard in 50 years!
An absolutely great version. He sings it with the original lyrics. One truly great singer.
Absolutely one of the greatest renditions! I love this!
a very underrated coen brothers film. excellent song also
my favourite Coen brothers film and they have a lot of good ones.
@@774CISCO mine too!
Probably the greatest renditions I've ever heard!!!!!
Everytime I hear this song in a version whatsoever I must think of "Miller's Crossing"!!
Absolutely terrific. The consumate authentic Irish tenor.
So wonderfully done, especially in the film. Finney looks wistfully as he puffs and shoots

Frank ventarola I just watched it.
Absolutely and utterly outstanding. By far the best rendition of this song I have ever heard, fucking incredible.
Agreed brother.
just a little creepy you have a guy singing for his mother like this...a woman needs to be singing this, just sayin
Mitchel Mills
A woman doesn't need to be singing anything, you're being very pedantic and taking the lyrics far too seriously, it's a song for gods sake lol.
Yeldur hey, love the way he sounds, just, I like to think about the lyrics too...
My recollection about this song was a father singing about his son whom had gone off to war (or something like that).
Great rendition by Patterson! Wonderful and obscure movie....
Thank you, thank you James Buckie. I am agreeing with another commenter that this is the best version of "Danny Boy". It brought tears to my eyes also, as to another commenter. May the precious soul of Mr. Patterson be in the heavenly choir now showing them how it's done.
Love the song very much! So I am listening to it again in this 2020 Memorial Day afternoon. This is the best vocalist I’ve heard singing this song!
Jackie Wilson Version beautiful 😮
Just wonderful. Thank you.
Frank Patterson is buried in Saint Patrick's Cemetery,
Clonmel, County Tipperary,

Best Version I've Ever Heard in my Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A beautifully sung. Perfect. Thankyou Frank Patterson xx👏👏👏👏👏

Fabulous rendition of a master singing made us welsh proud and of course the Irish Colin carrington
Just thank you for this, and yes, the old man's still an artist with a Thompson.
I listen, over and over. Thanks for posting.
memories .........back to my childhood on Christmas Eve in Singland , Garryowen
Danny Boy, brings a tear to me eye
Me too!
I just bawled for like 15 mins to this. Holy shit.
Outstanding performance. Thank you.
I am in tears with this version. BEST ever. This is for my Mom
If there should be one song, named as the definitive song, this would be it.
You mean of "Danny Boy?" If so i agree 100%
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 roses 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,
It's 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,
If 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, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

X because it’s fun to read along too.

@@puccipuu1797 very very nice of you posting the lyrics !- only words 'Tis ' should be instead of it's
