I believe I'm not the only one who has no Irish heritage, has never seen Ireland and yet gets nostalgic when I think about Ireland? How can you miss a country you've never seen?? xD
As a descendant of 1798 Irish rebels that were sent to Australia, I am very happy that the 1798 Rebellion is remembered. It has to be remembered also that both Catholics (like Michael Dwyer) and Protestants (like Joseph Holt) fought against anti-Irish tyranny in Ireland in 1798. Éirinn go Brách!
@@tomgreene2282 Yes, it is interesting that the writer, John Keegan "Leo" Casey, was imprisoned without trial for eight months in Mountjoy Prison. Casey was released on the understanding that he would leave for Australia and not return to Ireland. However, he chose to stay on in Summerhill, Dublin in disguise, living as a Quaker and continuing to write and publish in secret.
@@tomgreene2282 Casey based the lyrics on the failed 1798 uprising in Granard, County Longford. The ballad has been in circulation since circa 1865, two years earlier than the Fenian rebellion of 1867. The ballad refers to the outbreak of the 1798 rebellion, as United Irish rebels convey the order to rise. The air of hope and optimism associated with the ultimately doomed rebellion was intended to provide inspiration for rebels preparing to take to the field in the rebellion of 1867. The song says that "pikes must be together at the rising of the moon" to engage in rebellion. Civilian pikeman, though outnumbered and outgunned, were active in the 1798 rebellion. This was especially so in the Wexford Rebellion and in Dublin, the pike was useful mainly as a weapon by men and women fighting on foot against cavalry armed with guns. Improvised pikes, made from bayonets on poles, were used by escaped Irish rebels during the Castle Hill rebellion in Australia in 1804. Weaponry had improved by 1867 and pikes were obsolete and their use was far less effective and not as noteworthy.
2 years before my parents divorced we went on one last vacation together as a family. We basically flew to Ireland, rented a car and drove across the whole country. It was the best and most memorable vacation I’ve ever had. Things that really stuck with me were the kind, humorous and overall generous people everywhere you go. Breathtaking nature and scenery… endless green fields with cliffs and hundreds of old castle ruins to explore. In the cities and villages there is joyful music at every corner, every pub. I will never forget this country and I hope I get the chance to visit Ireland again.

I am Polish but lived in Ireland half of my life, and I cannot put in words the love of mine for this land. I always felt Irish anyways. It truly is the heart of the world :)
I work with lots of Polish people and count them among my best friends. Apart from language, it's astonishing how similar the Poles and Irish are. We both went through really tough times in the past and yet we still maintain a positive outlook on life. So glad you like it here in my home country.
@Gael 20th Century sectarianism has muddied the waters that is Irish history so that to most people today, it is strangely ironic to conceive that Irish nationalism was born of the words and deeds of men like Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward FitzGerald, and Charles Parnell -- all Protestants, but all revolutionaries who paved the way for home rule (Hell, Lord Edward gave his life for it.) My own ancestors, despite being Anglicans, despite serving as officers in the British Army and Navy, and despite owning estates in England, supported Catholic emancipation at a time when it was perceived as a threat to British and Dublin interests. There is this tendency to assume that Irish identity has always been static and that sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland is between all Protestants and all Catholics. But there was no deliberate attempt to tie Irishness to Catholicism until the late 1800s. (The Reformation failed in Ireland because the Protestant clergies failed to incorporate the Irish language into their religious doctrines, not because Catholicism was woven into Irish patriotic identity.) And the tensions in Northern Ireland are mainly between Protestant and Catholic fundamentalists, not Anglicans and mainstream Catholics. The Irish people write Anglicans out of their history at their own peril. The best of modern Irish literature, philosophy and scientific achievement were produced by Anglicans. Anglicans also salvaged most ancient Irish language texts at a time when they could've easily been destroyed.
High above their shining weapons hung their own beloved green Death to every foe and traitor forward strike the marching tune And hurrah me boys for freedom! 'Tis the rising of the moon.

Ireland is a country whose fame comes not from its conquests or imperial accomplishments, but rather from its significant cultural achievements and beautiful landscape. It's hard to put into words the love I have for this incredible country particularly while listening to songs like this and so many of the other classics about our history. Éirinn go deo.
The Irish conquests ended with the Norman invasions. They raided mainland Britain taking slaves for centuries and invaded Daliriada and assimilated the Picts. No, the Irish have the same bloody origins as any other people.

This tune was written by Leo Casey about the battle of Granard in 1798, where the local United Irishmen Leader Pat Farrell from Ardagh gathered the men from Longford and Westmeath along the banks of the river Inney outside Ballymahon.
Thanks for telling us the history. I always guessed it related to Longford because of the name Farrell. The battle of Granard has been written out of history and Ballinamuck was reduced to a line in my day in school. Great revisionism in history since then, they have taken the blood and passion out of it, but trying to hide the truth can never change the history of what happened.
My ancient ancestors were native irish. I’m American but feel a pull to ireland I can’t escape or explain. Visiting this beautiful country is at the very top of my bucket list. I hope I get the chance someday soon.

This is what we should sing (and do) in Canada. Bless the Irish they did it right. Love you guys. This from a Canadian in the English colony of Canada.
Makes me proud to be part Irish and this was my great Grandad’s marching song during ww1 and it makes me love him and Ireland GOD BLESS IRELAND 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
To all Irish people from me all the way in the Unites States in the state of California... God bless you all and thank you for making such a majestic song.
I am so glad that I spent time in Ireland in 2019...just before the pandemic. Now, it its the memories of the music, food, and people that gives me comfort. I am of the Mayan' culture and this sounds makes my heart sing along with the Irish! Greetings with love.
As a South African my Irish great grandmother sang these songs to me.. Proud Irish go Ireland!!!! Actually Afrikaans more of a Dutch heritage but will never forget my Ireland brothers!!!
@Shane k I wouldn't compliment a person like you. Clearly you haven't understood the traiditional struggle and what dignity means. It doesn't mean being a racist prick.
We live the endless struggle together, I am Tasmanian Aboriginal and we fought our way back from the British colony's declaration that we were extinct, and won land hand-backs from the government. Yet we struggle on, and have the same thoughts as the Irish who, like us, hate the Butcher's Apron, freedom will return once again when the colony accepts its identity from our land.
Proud Irish family from Carbondale Pa. I remember my grandfather in his thick county Mayo brough accent singing this song with meaning and a tear in his heart! ERIN GO BRAGH
I'm Croatian and im proud to be Croat but Ireland for some reason takes special place in my hart, I love everything about Ireland cant wait to see it and maybe one day live in it.
Well you're welcome to come. Be aware though. You might find the climate to be a little jarring especially in winter. Almost nowhere gets more rain than Ireland.
@Matthayi Naalaaman Well, I suppose you're right. What's worth remembering is that while Ireland doesn't have the sheer volume of rain that monsoon areas get we don't have a dry season. So while it may not rain as heavily it rains far more often. In some parts of Ireland it rains 2 thirds of the days. It's a unique climate generated by the gulf stream. So in a way you're right, but in Ireland you'll get almost the same climate every month of the year and sometimes we don't get a summer.
huh and to think all my great great grandfather had going for him was living in a tiny town in central Virginia. i know i have Scottish and Irish ancestors like one was the Scottish warlord summer and one was the Irish princess he marries but i don't know which ancestor between them and my great great grandparents came to America and i cant ask my great grandmother since she has Alzheimer and my grandfather knows nothing about this and we cant bridge the gap due to them having terrible records pre-1900's
I get so much happiness listening to this and so much pride, I am American but more than half my bloodline comes from Ireland and I am so proud that my family came from such a brave country and we now live in yet another great and brave country,
This is the first I song remember listening to and singing along to, and it brings back so many memories. I hope to visit Ireland someday, but, in the mean time, greetings from a small town in Maine, USA!
My friend died last night at 1 am I play this song in his memory.... Rip ben I will see u one day when I am laid to rest your honor will not be forgotten...
I have always heard this song on St. Patrick's Day in Cleveland but had never heard the lyrics. This song is played by the West Side Irish American club marching band in St. Colman church on St. Patricks day and hearing the beating of the drums in that church is something else. Wish there was a recording of that version on here
One of my ancestors was an Irish conscript from Dublin, William Kamells, forced by the English to go and fight in the failed invasion of Buenos Aires in 1807: he was wounded, became a prisoner, and was taken in by a family until his wounds were healed: when he had recovered, he preferred to stay in what was to become later Argentina rather than go back to Ireland and suffer the English oppression.

Merci. 🙏👍🇨🇵

I have not a drop of Irish blood, yet I could easily and readily go to an untimely and gory death in glorious and unequal battle to a tune such as this. I don't know what it is about the music of the Irishman....
I'm Aussie, living in Mindanao Philippines with my native Higaonon wife, but I had Irish blood on my maternal grandmother's side. I have always loved Irish music. Now I introduce it to my family here in Mindanao! I've recently sung for them "The Fields of Athenry" and "When you Were Sweet Sixteen"!
Brilliant to hear that you are doing that. There are so many songs to sing of freedom and betrayal too, one that springs to mind is "The Croppy Boy" and surely a sad song of a lad whom the brits executed "Kevin Barry".
@@johnoconnor4623 I even managed to find a version of this song on the Wesing online karaoke, and of course I had to sing and post it. My Irish roots are dating back to the 1800's, but I'm not sure when the Cregan family, my grandmother's maiden surname, emigrated to Australia. My guess is somewhere around 1850, most likely due to the potato famine in Ireland. So much oppression, poverty and famine in Ireland in the past! A similar story here in the Philippines, only the Spaniards were the oppressors. Perhaps that is also why I hear a similar feel to some songs in Tagalog and Cebuano here. That same sad lilt found in much of Irish music is evident here too.
Thank you, Ireland, for your contributions to music, art, and literary Culture. I love your beautiful country!

This tune was written by Leo Casey about the battle of Granard in 1798, where the local United Irishmen Leader Pat Farrell from Ardagh gathered the men from Longford and Westmeath along the banks of the river Inney outside Ballymahon.
Thanks for telling us the history. I always guessed it related to Longford because of the name Farrell. The battle of Granard has been written out of history and Ballinamuck was reduced to a line in my day in school. Great revisionism in history since then, they have taken the blood and passion out of it, but trying to hide the truth can never change the history of what happened.
This is such a beautiful song... greeting to my irish friends from Italy.
Irish = heroes.
With love from Siberia.
Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 to 🇷🇺 Siberia !❤💚
No love for occupiers anywhere in the world.

@Shane k I wouldn't compliment a person like you. Clearly you haven't understood the traiditional struggle and what dignity means. It doesn't mean being a racist prick.
Just a mistaken click and this masterpiece exposed me to Irish music and I'm in love with it. Greetings from India.
Love this song. American of mostly Irish & Italian descent. 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 🇮🇹
We live the endless struggle together, I am Tasmanian Aboriginal and we fought our way back from the British colony's declaration that we were extinct, and won land hand-backs from the government. Yet we struggle on, and have the same thoughts as the Irish who, like us, hate the Butcher's Apron, freedom will return once again when the colony accepts its identity from our land.

I'm Croatian and im proud to be Croat but Ireland for some reason takes special place in my hart, I love everything about Ireland cant wait to see it and maybe one day live in it.
Well you're welcome to come. Be aware though. You might find the climate to be a little jarring especially in winter. Almost nowhere gets more rain than Ireland.
@Matthayi Naalaaman Well, I suppose you're right. What's worth remembering is that while Ireland doesn't have the sheer volume of rain that monsoon areas get we don't have a dry season. So while it may not rain as heavily it rains far more often. In some parts of Ireland it rains 2 thirds of the days. It's a unique climate generated by the gulf stream. So in a way you're right, but in Ireland you'll get almost the same climate every month of the year and sometimes we don't get a summer.
Croatia.
Ah yes.
The country which sided with the Nazis and saw Catholic clergy assist in the slaughter of Serbian Orthodox
This music make me love Ireland from your friend. Thailand. Thank you

I love Irish music and I would love to see Ireland. My great-grandfather came to America from Ireland.
Same with my great-great-grandpa! I bear the same name as he... He was Martin J Flaherty...I am Martin J Flaherty the 5th :D
Wow! I like your name...
Oh why thankie.
Darling, send me your address and I will take you with me.
huh and to think all my great great grandfather had going for him was living in a tiny town in central Virginia. i know i have Scottish and Irish ancestors like one was the Scottish warlord summer and one was the Irish princess he marries but i don't know which ancestor between them and my great great grandparents came to America and i cant ask my great grandmother since she has Alzheimer and my grandfather knows nothing about this and we cant bridge the gap due to them having terrible records pre-1900's
Switzerland, Ireland, Catalonia, and Bavaria.

This is the first I song remember listening to and singing along to, and it brings back so many memories. I hope to visit Ireland someday, but, in the mean time, greetings from a small town in Maine, USA!

LONG LIVE BEAUTIFUL IRELAND!!!!!!! St. Patrick's Day today and there's no better 'cause for celebration!!!!!! Cheers 'n' beers from Greece!!!!!
I have always heard this song on St. Patrick's Day in Cleveland but had never heard the lyrics. This song is played by the West Side Irish American club marching band in St. Colman church on St. Patricks day and hearing the beating of the drums in that church is something else. Wish there was a recording of that version on here
I am Irish so this song brings a tear of joy to my face
I am Turkish, it brings tears to my face too :)
@@erengurel620I’m Azeri, and this song also brings tears to my eyes 🥲

Its a wonderful song i love Ireland so much can't wait to go again
Just came back from my first Ireland trip. Ireland is truly beautiful. Hope I will return soon
One of my ancestors was an Irish conscript from Dublin, William Kamells, forced by the English to go and fight in the failed invasion of Buenos Aires in 1807: he was wounded, became a prisoner, and was taken in by a family until his wounds were healed: when he had recovered, he preferred to stay in what was to become later Argentina rather than go back to Ireland and suffer the English oppression.
Ô Ireland. From France with a full heart
Magnifique chanson, même si elle raconte des faits tragiques, excellente photographie, touchant cet homme qui porte sa femme dans ses bras et la présente à la Vierge, et cette mère avec ses enfants, sans mari, peut-être tombée à la guerre qui se prépare à embarquer , peut-être dans le nouveau monde : « L'Amérique..c'est ce que je voulais. Merci. 🙏👍🇨🇵
just a thing, Irish, oh god, its heaven for me, people, music nature....everything feels so calming so deep for me, i never been there but feels like i belong there...i dont know, ireland so away from me....but feels more like home...because make me so calm.

The rebellion of 1798 has something so glorious about it. Even more so than 1916 and 1848.
Perhaps because it was the catalyst for independence?
Yes general
1798... 1848.....1916...1981.... bout due another one... ever thought we might be in some kind of loop!!!
Revolutions are called that cos they keep going round and round, people die and nothing ever changes.
Up the revolution!!

the wearing of the green is a good one too!
It is the same tune isn't it.
Ireland has magic. L'Irlandais de Montréal. With love and nostalgia.
Proud of my Irish heritage all the way from Australia x
I have not a drop of Irish blood, yet I could easily and readily go to an untimely and gory death in glorious and unequal battle to a tune such as this. I don't know what it is about the music of the Irishman....
+Nikita Glushkov Lol.
Nikita Glushkov my mother in law was half irish and my dearest wife so you can understand how i feel
most of my blood is irish ;)
i may only have irish ancestors but i will stand with you in bloody battle no matter the outcome
anyone who loves freedom understands
I'm Aussie, living in Mindanao Philippines with my native Higaonon wife, but I had Irish blood on my maternal grandmother's side. I have always loved Irish music. Now I introduce it to my family here in Mindanao! I've recently sung for them "The Fields of Athenry" and "When you Were Sweet Sixteen"!
Brilliant to hear that you are doing that.
There are so many songs to sing of freedom and betrayal too, one that springs to mind is "The Croppy Boy" and surely a sad song of a lad whom the brits executed "Kevin Barry".
@@johnoconnor4623 I even managed to find a version of this song on the Wesing online karaoke, and of course I had to sing and post it. My Irish roots are dating back to the 1800's, but I'm not sure when the Cregan family, my grandmother's maiden surname, emigrated to Australia. My guess is somewhere around 1850, most likely due to the potato famine in Ireland. So much oppression, poverty and famine in Ireland in the past! A similar story here in the Philippines, only the Spaniards were the oppressors. Perhaps that is also why I hear a similar feel to some songs in Tagalog and Cebuano here. That same sad lilt found in much of Irish music is evident here too.
@Chuck Fortier I guess it's no surprise!
@Chuck Fortier oh yeah!
@@johnoconnor4623 I listened to "The Croppy Boy". Sad how poverty sometimes drives people to betrayal of their own family members.
