My family 4 generations ago left Ireland to avoid catholic persecution. My grandmother would tell me stories of her grandmother and their Irish heritage. She said that if they ever lifted the blasphemy laws that shed go back but unfortunately she passed before the chance came. I hope to one day go so that I may fulfill her wish.
I love that many Irish and Scottish songs have the same tunes I always play this and Loch lomond together. The same with wearing of the green and Scotland the brave . I've always loved Celtic music and turns out I have ancestors that came from Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I lost my beautiful girlfriend just a day ago, she died in a wreck. This song has been playing in my heart ever since. I'll miss you until I'm with you again...
I am a Japanese and not good at English, so I can't understand all the lyric. But I love the melody and the harmony. I want to sing this song with someone.
I walked down the isle to the whole first part of this song...we had nothing but red roses for flowers at our wedding. My husband picked this song out. First time he heard it he fell in love with it.
Raw talent on display. Wow! In a day where so many so called artists need technology to sound good, it is so wonderful to have four lads who don't need any artificial enhancements to blow away an audience. Bravo!
CHORUS Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows, And fair is the lily of the valley; Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne But my love is fairer than any. Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass Comer over the hills to your darling; You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow And I'll be your true love forever. 'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed And the moon and the stars they were shining; The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair And she swore she'd be my love forever. It's not for the parting tht my sister pains It's not for the grief of my mother, "Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass That my heart is breaking forever.
I was 10 Madison Square Garden I was with my Grandmother and this song was sung by the Clancey Brothers My gandmother reached over grabbed my hand and wept. This song this version has now made me weep Thankyou for reminding me of just how much I loved her.
I'm unsure how ANYONE can dislike this. These young men are extremely talented and this song is beautiful. I am deeply moved and salute you gentlemen especially for your musical talent and also for your Irish patriotism. Thank you for this.
Six month old son falls asleep to this. It's the only thing that will calm him down when he's tired and all his other needs are met. Legitimately THE ONLY THING. Thank you!
Used to play my son lots of Irish music to put him to sleep. He's half Irish himself (Mother's side), there's something about this music, it just touches the soul.
I'm half Celtic, my ancestors came from Dublin, Wales, and unfortunately England. But I am so thankful to be what I am for the celts are both lovers and fighters.
I had a friend from county Tyrone who took her life a few years ago. She wasn't my girlfriend or anything but this song had me sobbing non stop. I miss you mate
Friendships are a type of close relationship, just because you weren’t dating doesn’t make your sorrow any less real. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I hope that you’re doing as well as you can. And I believe any true friend would want you to live your life to its fullest ❤
Whenever I feel down and beaten, I go to my besties place, and inevitably we end up singing this together. Nowhere near as beautifu as thisl, but *our* way....And it moves me every time, and makes everything a lot less terrible!
The High Kings are by far and away my favorite vocalists of all time. The heart, spirit and emotion they pack into these songs which by themselves hold their own legacies, is truly inspirational. It is these men and their forebears who brought me to find my own place amidst celtic music, and I can never thank them enough.
What is truly amazing about this song is that it uses nothing except four voices to sound beautiful. There is not a single instrument playing, not a single sound besides these four voices.
I discovered them while learning guitar songs. I've been addicted to them ever since I heard Irish Pub. Green Fields of France is another favorite. I don't think I've heard a song from them I don't like.
@Tom Smith, so are the Scottish! Scoti was a waring tribe, that settled in Scotland, hence the name/Scotland! The Romans reffered to people as Irish too!
Am incredibly moved by this timeless strain of both pain and beauty, it resounds through ages past and yet tells anyone's story of love and heart break, the quiet singing to throngong vocal is spectacular. God keep you close❤
This chills me, as this is are the toneladders of our forefathers, as this is this the music of a naturally grown heart, vibrance of life, so different from todays artificial sounds.... This is accually what makes humans humans.....
I have Irish roots and this song just melts me. High Kings are one of my favorite groups ever since I fount them while listening to a Dubliners station on Pandora. I will say this, they put Celtic Thunder to shame in my mind.
Great music always makes me emotional. Played drums and percussion for over 25 years. But haven’t played in some time. This song is amazing. No words for the vocals.
heard this version of loch lomond first in ireland in a private singalong . someone was pointed at and she sang. we were lucky, also to not proove we cant sing.
Music speaks what cannot be expressed soothes the mind and gives it rest heals the heart and makes it whole flows from heaven to the soul. That explains this song. By far my favorite song forever.
So lovely! I heard them do this at Milwaukee Irish Fest last weekend and was blown away. It got one of the biggest responses of the show. As fabulous as they sound here, you hear the harmony best when you see them perform in a live setting... an experience I would strongly recommend!
I listen to this song at least 3 times a day. I just can't hear it enough. Because of this song I had to check out their other songs. I listen to little else now. Love the High Kings!
Irish and Scottish ballads and folk tunes have the greatest emotion of any songs that I listen to, and it makes me proud to be of Irish ancestry :)

Hi guys, I'm a Mexican Man and I love Irish music, Flogging Molly and Drop Kick Murfys
Yes! They each tell a story. Praise God
I lost my beautiful girlfriend just a day ago, she died in a wreck. This song has been playing in my heart ever since. I'll miss you until I'm with you again...

@@chelseajordan5081 I'm better than I was. It's something you learn to live through. Learn to live with. And go on from there. Thank you for asking.
I know I'm a year late, but I hope your pain is waning.
This a capella song slips into your heart, and takes up a permanent residence.
You can never forget it.

Diarmuid stop your making sad
Sorry for your loss 💔
the parting glass would be more appropriate
Pussy
My great grandmother passed away I listened to this song after her funeral

9 years later and this comment is even more true today 👏🏻
Fine performance. As are many of those by "so-called artists," too.
2022🍀
Thank you High Kings ❤you're one of my favorites ever! Just stunning & being Irish is wonderful I'm so proud! I can listen over & over again!
so rarely do we get treated to perfect harmonies and we weary humans so dearly need it.
This one, Wild Mountain Thyme, and Parting Glass. Just... yes.
Agreed
Uhh wild mountain thyme is go lassie go
Dont forget fields of Athenry
@@thatmrking it's called both
Also called "will ya go" to be fair
CHORUS
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows,
And fair is the lily of the valley;
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass
Comer over the hills to your darling;
You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever.
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
And the moon and the stars they were shining;
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
It's not for the parting tht my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother,
"Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever.
Thank you kind stranger!
The love between Christ and the human soul..
Thank you so much! May God bless you.
Thank you 💚❤

My kids fall fast asleep in minutes listening to this beautiful song ❤️
I love both "Red is the Rose" and "Loch Lomond". The melody is so enchanting, and beautifull
This is the kind of music I listen to when I'm angry or down. Celtic music is very peaceful
I understand your pain. I too lost the love of my life, my dear wife Meg. A tragic car accident January 14 , 2022. I talk to her every day and night !
I'm half Celtic, my ancestors came from Dublin, Wales, and unfortunately England. But I am so thankful to be what I am for the celts are both lovers and fighters.

Pure GOLD, what wonderful IRISH voices...
Can all Irish men sing!? Those harmonies are gorgeous.
Not all, some tell stories though, and having an Irish accent greatly effects the story
Kayla Peterson Most, i have the advantage of having Welsh and Irish.
Were jst class at everything ye see B-)
No, but they all think they can.
Lord, you never heard my father! And Irish as he was, you'd never want to :)
Not sure how I got here but thank God I did. Amazing ❤
Impeccably beautiful.
What is truly amazing about this song is that it uses nothing except four voices to sound beautiful. There is not a single instrument playing, not a single sound besides these four voices.
I found these guys on my Pandora Radio. I LOVE these guys.
Me too! Found this song quite by accident, and have been in love with it ever since!
me three
me four
I discovered them while learning guitar songs. I've been addicted to them ever since I heard Irish Pub. Green Fields of France is another favorite. I don't think I've heard a song from them I don't like.
Was listening to the Irish tenors classical version and saw this one. Well done by the guys. Just an amazing song.
This is such Beautiful song. My wife and I had this song played at our wedding, it was used as my entrance when I walked in. Still gets me every time.
are u aware this song is about a man crying cuz his would be wife emigrated to america leaving him alone
The original musical instrument, the human voice. Beautifully done. Thank you, fellows.
The most beautifull voices i have ever heard.
I can't get enough of this song! It's so beautiful, full of emotion, and the a capella harmony is impeccable! ♥
Preserve these folk songs and cultures. Ireland and Scotland are the two most beautiful countries on this planet. Lots of love from India
The beauty of this song brings tears to my eyes, every time.
Enjoyed listening to this very much ❤❤
It is just so beautiful!!! I am so proud to have in me 15 % Irish DNA. ( from Norway)
I seem to revisit this song each time I drink. Cheers to you all!
"And I'll be your true love foreeever" goose bumps all over my body.
Wow! Bravo!
I used to listen to this song all the time with my mom and sister. It still brings me so much comfort.
Just beautiful 💙🦋
This song always brings tears to my eyes... it is hauntingly beautiful and the harmonies are amazing
Song snuck up on me. Glad im not the only one.
One of my favorite memories from my childhood is hearing this song sung at a concert my father took me to.
It's the tune also for Bonnie Loch Lomond too. Irish or Scots , it's a great song.
And?
Sad love songs and happy war songs.... God this is beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes.
I may be a bloody Yank but you're more than welcome to play this at my funeral.
I support this VinnyMartello
@@BigSkippy1263 I'm a yank but I know I have Scottish blood. And I want to see Scotland someday.
@@raymonroe1983 Its amazing
@@jamiejones5940 as do i and im from alabama
@Tom Smith, so are the Scottish! Scoti was a waring tribe, that settled in Scotland, hence the name/Scotland! The Romans reffered to people as Irish too!
I like this song. Beautiful!
Wow this is the same tune as Loch Lomond! Amazing! I love it!
Epic MusicAE loch lomond came first and i think that this song is based on it
Am incredibly moved by this timeless strain of both pain and beauty, it resounds through ages past and yet tells anyone's story of love and heart break, the quiet singing to throngong vocal is spectacular. God keep you close❤
This chills me, as this is are the toneladders of our forefathers, as this is this the music of a naturally grown heart, vibrance of life, so different from todays artificial sounds.... This is accually what makes humans humans.....
Beautiful and Magical!!!!!
One of my absolute favourites. This and the Green fields of France...OMG absolutely amazing!
green fieds of france is a Scottish song
Ac-Dc and Angus Young brought me here. Scotland is a sweet land full of beautiful womens.
GOD bless Ireland.
I miss it there so much ;(
STEPHEN COLLINS connacht is my families ancient homeland :)
Amen...

He already did when he created the emerald fields of grass and the beautiful forests with more emerald in their leaves
Bless you too from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘💚
This makes me happy. 😊
Well done lads.....I didn't think anyone could sing this anywhere close to Liam....quite impressive.....
I could listen to these lads all day every day
You know it's beautiful when it brings a tear to your eye. Thank you!

A few yesrs ago my dad found this song on shuffle we listened to it and it bonds us
hell yeah brother.

It's the same malody as Loch Lommond. I love both songs
Great music has no borders !
Fritz Lee I disagree. Sometimes tradition and musical culture is important
Couldn't agree more. Just heard this on Pandora and was blown away at the emotion it displayed.
I love the the slight echo at the end of each phrase
I've listenig to this song without breathing... Beautiful song , beautiful vocals ....incredible !!! From Russia with love !!!
AWESOME!!!!!
This is such a beautiful song, the melody is just beautiful.💕💕💕💕
i had the privilege of seeing these guys live. They are amazing!
this song and 'the parting glass' are songs that just hit you right in the feels
parting glass is a scottish song
This is so beautiful. My brother is in Ireland and recommended that I listen to this group, and I'm so glad I did.
I just noticed that this song is sung to the same tune as The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond
This song is amazing... My boyfriend had sang this to me when I was sad... It made me cry, but they were tears of joy. I love it~
Wonderful story!😀❤️🙏
Beautiful
Their voices are so satisfying.
The tune of Loch Lomond
Greetings from America! Great job guys!
My love is like a red rose and Loch Lomond... Burns would have liked this Irish mash up of his work. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 👍
Agnes Burns is buried in Ireland, so too is Edward de Bruce!

Someone’s cutting onions. Wow!!! First time I’ve heard this. Damn!!!! Fricken amazing!!!!! I mean, damn!!!
Super voices!
Sitting normally. 30 seconds in and im crying. Beautiful Song

I listen to this song at least 3 times a day. I just can't hear it enough. Because of this song I had to check out their other songs. I listen to little else now. Love the High Kings!
If my da was still here with us he'd of love this band, I think there are great ☘️
That song is so deep words won’t do it justice.
