Happy St Patrick's Day ☘️🇮🇪💚🦄 Rod 💚 you just nailed this...i loved that you told the beautiful tragic story... amazing. You are are cherished treasure Sir Rod. 💐☘️🇮🇪
The ultimate price for a great love is not paid by the one who dies, but by the one who must endure an eternity of heartbreak after. I learned this recently when my parents died.
As an immensely proud Irish-American, Grace is one of my dearest songs, taught it to my children (My daughter's middle name is Grace) as toddlers. Together as a family we traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland and learned and walked the grounds of the GPO and Kilmainham Goal, me as a grand-child and namesake for a 1916 Uprising Survivor and my children, my son is also a namesake of his great grandfather. Fast forward to 2016 my son a Sgt. in the United States Marines Corps attended the 100th Anniversary celebration of the uprising as a member of then Vice-President Biden's security detail, walking the street toting a gun just like his Great Grandfather that day in 2016. I still get chills when I hear this song and yes I do tear up.
To me this is just so disrespectful to the brave men and women of 1916. It's sad when celebrity just get's it all so very wrong and it's just another nail in the coffin of true Irish history which is so misunderstood or forgotten. As Pearse said, The fools, the fools, the fools...
@@liamjpbrady And completely wrong and in my view disrespectful to the executed of 1916, what they stood for, who they fought against and full of incorrect supposed "facts" (in fact they are so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn't so bad) so you must also be completely devoid of knowledge around the Easter Rising and the aftermath and obviously not understand the irony of this spectacle and how offensive it is to people like me who absolutely love and adore these brave men and women. Look at James Connolly's last statement and if you still don't get it, there is no hope for you on the subject I'm afraid.
It's a great song and you might understand the whole story but unfortunately Rod obviously doesn't from what I have just heard, and as an Englishman do you really understand the whole story, I wonder, unfortunately even most Irish don't.
Thanks Rod for not being afraid to sing a song about Irish history , there are English people calling it anti English what a bizarre understanding of the song , it’s a song of sadness of two young people who loved each other separated for ever by conflict ...
I first heard this in Turkey in an Irish bar before a Celtic match. The bar plays it every time there is an Irish or Scottish Celtic match. I heard it in Glasgow in Argyle street a month ago it is such a great reminder of what went on at that time, I’m neither Scottish or Catholic but this is such a be beautiful song about a tragedy that it should resound with everyone.

Her name was Grace Gifford and she never had another husband she was a true lady and there is many more people during the rising who didn't get talked about but in Ireland they are legends and never be forgotten
@@markbowes4704 I think this marriage has made Joseph Mary Plunkett and Grace Gifford story has made them immortal..it's a beautiful song. Rod does a great job but i cant get past Jim McCann's version..
And that he got most of the details wrong. Grace was 28 years old when she married and was 67 years old when she died in 1955. She would have been 81 years old in 1969 had she lived until then and not many people born in 1888 like she was, did so. Joseph was 29 years old when they married and so was a year older than her, rather than the other way around.
@@seanscanlon9067 He was not shot the next morning, He was taken out and shot when the 15 minutes was over. Salute to Rod for singing this heartbreaking love song, but Jim McCann sings it like no other.
Love the fact rod Stewart sings this song after hearing it at a Celtic football match, it really got to him and he has visited kilmanin gaol and the graves of all who died in the name of freedom 💕🙏 and 22 yr old grace Clifford never married, again ,,now that's true love 💕

The saddest song and truly touching words ever in a song about the hero’s of Ireland 🇮🇪 in the 1916 uprising that happened manly in Dublin , I’m Irish and was born very near kilmainham jail , where this hero was shot and killed , I live in Canada 🇨🇦 now but I’ve never forgotten my history of Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m proud to say that I’m Irish ☘️ I love Ireland and love Canada 🇨🇦 👍
Arguably the most powerful love song of all time . They had 10 minutes together , then Joseph Mary plunket was shot to death and grace Gifford became a widow . Heart breaking
I believe she lived until the 60s she never remarried and was also involved in the 1916 uprising they were very young Patrick was a young man who suffered from tuberculosis but was instrumental as a writer because he was one of the main signatories of the proclamation he was sentenced to death and Grace was a talented artist after the majority of Ireland gained independence she lived her life quietly in Dublin
Actually quite a heartbreaking story behind this, is true he married grace but she didn't have it easy in anyway shape or form after he was killed, his parents done everything they could to stop her inheritance from him and she lived in poverty for many years
Im not an Irish. Im an asian man, actaually Indonesian. But i dont know, i love Irish people, irish culture and irish politicial view about british, and you know, i always put "Egan" in the middle of my name in all my social media, and also people around me call me Tyo Egan. And for fuck sake, im die hard celtic fc fans. Greetings from Indonesia 💚🇮🇪🍀🇮🇩
Rod you have done your self proud really good version love it because when you're in a pub in the north of Ireland they will play your version of this great song no Matter how is in the bar 👍👌🇨🇮 🏴
So much going on beneath the surface with this performance, Rod inhaling at the start finding his voice, fingerwagging the backing vocals to sit back because he'd found his peak. Greatest performance. Talent and material rhyme.
I noticed that as well. It could be seen as rude, but it wasn't. He was just making sure they knew he was gonna go for it alone. They were smiling and then joined him again later. I bet he's a great guy to work for 🎶 💚

Michael Crowe , yes I agree, terrific version, I’m sure he’s rehearsed it many many times to get it right, fair play , although for me , Jim Mcann of the Dubliners does the best version
Michael Criwe, Jim McCann sang it well, but unfortunately gave a lot of 'information' which was totally wrong. At the time of the wedding Grace was 28, Joe was 29. Grace died in December 1955, not 1969. At the tine of her death she lived alone. I don't know where he got the misinformation.
My late wife Cathleen and I were big Rod fans. Jim McCann's rendition is magnificent and heart rending with depth , quality and emotion. I am pleased that this song has been brought to a worldwide audience but really Rod's version is truly awful - it just does not suit him at all (he is still a wonderful entertainer but should stick to what he is good at). I am a stickler for accuracy and was disappointed that research of the facts was so sloppy !!!

I am of Irish desent and when I heard the song Grace boy could I connect with that song! In our family ancestry going back to 1815 none of my relatives have ever gotten divorced. We had a motto in our family and that is this One love ❤️ One life.
Wow, I’m a big Rod Stewart fan, yet I’ve not heard that before. A beautiful rendition of a very sorry story. Hard to really comprehend the feelings of the 2 young people who loved each other but had no time to share that love 😢
I'm roaring after watching this,lol,as you say,one of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written.Fair play to oul' Rod ,he did it justice.I could tell it really means something to him.
Not only has Rod understood this song, he's made it his! The blood on the rose! My infant's name is Joseph-Mary, if our next one is healthy, she'll be Grace!
I am an old fan of Rod Stewart. I remember buying the single Maggie May. I'm an Irishman and it is very nice to hear Rod singing this song and empathizing with one of Ireland's great patriots. Right on Rod!
I am an old fan of Rod too, since the Gasoline Alley days but now Sir Rod Stewart has no right to sing this song after having accepted the knighthood from the very crown and empire who caused this, who raped Ireland and killed Irishmen and woman!

And sadly completely ballsing it up! I've never heard anyone make such a complete mess over one of the most important events in Irish history. Perhaps I should have advised him on the facts before he went on stage.
james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate. One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.
Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.

The story of this moment in time, I believe, will continue to live in time. I saw the two brothers who wrote this song being introduced to Rod Stewart on a TH-cam clip. The meeting was very sincere. This is a beautiful song and beautiful story. This song will go on forever. (I'm a wee bit Irish).

Each time I hear this song, I cannot help but cry. Though I know he sings it in English for clarity, I wish he would learn to sing it in Gaeilge. Now THAT would set an Irish audience on fire!
By the week rod Stewart goes higher and higher in my estimations as an artist and a human being stay healthy Rod music wouldn't be the same without you

For me it's about the song and the two people who the song is, about!! Irish history is written in song and this one is exceptionally great. It causes a tear every time.. Rebels we will always be until every corner of our land is free. England itself will always be in chains until Ireland is in bondage no more..
Well if the English had a referendum to leave irland and Scotland The English would let you stand on your own 2 feet . we voted to leave uerope .you can see by comments English basterds etc the Irish poeple saying these things were not about at time of killing.unlike the English who in the 70s lost love ones . English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone

To be brutally honest, never really had a thing for Rod's music, but obviously, as a passionate Celtic supporter I wished him the best... When i clicked on this video I was half expecting a butchering session.. however, I think I've just become a Rod Stewart 'fan'. Good on ya fella! Rod's just put Grace, and the tragic story of one of Ireland's many martyrs onto the global sphere. Kudos to you, Rod Stewart, Sir.
I am English and love this song. I hate our history and the way we treated people around the world in the name of empire. Well done Rod. Supporting a United 🇮🇪🏴🏴☮️

The ultimate price for a great love is not paid by the one who dies, but by the one who must endure an eternity of heartbreak after. I learned this recently when my parents died.
Respect Rod for courage and truth.. From Scotland.
Never forget. My mom was born in Robertstown Kildare and I just had the best St Patrick's day there with my sister I love all the Irish peopole

Grace Gifford died with a broken heart in 1955. She wad 67. She had never remarried. A true love story.
The marriage allowed the military and by extension the English government to pretend to themselves that they were honorable

Thanks ♥️ Dave Kearney.
Yet he’s a Tory
The best version by far
Always brings a tear to my eye. At least one of my ancestors fought in the Easter Rising under James Connolly.
A truly remarkable true song of how the English where towards the Irish. Credit to rod Stewart for singing this historic song from his heart 💖
I am of Irish desent and when I heard the song Grace boy could I connect with that song! In our family ancestry going back to 1815 none of my relatives have ever gotten divorced. We had a motto in our family and that is this One love ❤️ One life.
Rod I'm Irish and know all about that . 😊❤ Slainte
I have loved Rod's music for decades...but this is going down as one of my all-time favorites. Thank you!
Top tune
Always in my memory and love to you dear Ciaran from Belfastxx
Wow, I’m a big Rod Stewart fan, yet I’ve not heard that before. A beautiful rendition of a very sorry story. Hard to really comprehend the feelings of the 2 young people who loved each other but had no time to share that love 😢
I have a message for the BBC who refused to play this song, in a song.
Defund the BBC, don't pay the licence fee.🎶🎼
sure they banned invisible sun by the police......and that backfired big time..
Phil Green I didn’t know that, that bbc is a patronising , top heavy corrupt business
EBC, you mean? Celtic songs don't count!
The BBC don't speak for ordinary people. Establishment curs.
EBC for sure.
Just love to listen to this for St. Patrick's. Beautiful voice and gentleman.
One of the saddest most beautiful songs ever written 🇮🇪
So sad
I'm roaring after watching this,lol,as you say,one of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written.Fair play to oul' Rod ,he did it justice.I could tell it really means something to him.

Britain's greatest pop vocalist. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
Rod thanks for sharing 😊, Great Song, I was in Kilmainham jail.❤😊 Gerry Giffney the man who got Jack Charlton his Irish job, Slainte
Never know Rob Stewart sang this song it has to be one of the best Irish songs ever, and Rob sang it beautifully and respect from an Irish man 🇮🇪💯
Rod had to compose himself before he started the song, a pure pro, right there....Respect man....!
He shook his hand at his backing vocalist mid song.He lost a few points there imo.The poor girl was mortified.
@@janefriel6895 He knew he had it covered....and it was beautiful....
What a Tim is Rod Stewart never ,ever forgot his beginnings❤God bless the Irish
Happy St paddy's day from Belfast ,sang it beautifully Sir Rod
Not only has Rod understood this song, he's made it his! The blood on the rose! My infant's name is Joseph-Mary, if our next one is healthy, she'll be Grace!
It’s kind of chilling that the events this beautiful song describes took place only 5 minutes walk from where I live on this day 103 years ago.
I am an old fan of Rod Stewart. I remember buying the single Maggie May. I'm an Irishman and it is very nice to hear Rod singing this song and empathizing with one of Ireland's great patriots. Right on Rod!
yes me also just like yesterday
I am an old fan of Rod too, since the Gasoline Alley days but now Sir Rod Stewart has no right to sing this song after having accepted the knighthood from the very crown and empire who caused this, who raped Ireland and killed Irishmen and woman!

beautiful Rod ....a classic song well done
I'm sort of glad you're lost already, Mr Highlander. Saves me from suggesting that you , ahem, "get lost"...
So beautiful. Keep singing. What a beautiful voice and song even though sad.
USA
My all time favourite song,I’ll listened to all the different versions by all different people,but Rods version is exception.
Congratulations Rob it's the best love song ever and thank u Celtic fan's keep singing

tears to a glass eye.....thank you rod and the team....hail hail..
You are a heroe for the Irish . Thank you for telling such a sensitive and sad story about Irish history. Xx
And sadly completely ballsing it up! I've never heard anyone make such a complete mess over one of the most important events in Irish history. Perhaps I should have advised him on the facts before he went on stage.
We will never ever forget these brave lrish rebels and heroes...l am proud of my lrish blood.. cork
It's war my pal just look around your city non Irish

32 years away from Ireland I'm still proud of my homeland...enough said.
@@GARY-yu8pc London is not British. the Muslims are taking you over. It's war pal
Proud to be true republicans child 💚💚💚💚💚
He is going to make this great song so popular all over the world good on him , he does it very well 🍀
Ever heard the Green Brigade renditions at Celtic matches ? You can guarantee Rod has paricipated in those many, many times amongst the thousands ...
james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate.
One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.
Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.
Muriel McAuley hi

Hiya...thank you so much...its my favourite song and means so much...v emotional 💕💕
The story of this moment in time, I believe, will continue to live in time. I saw the two brothers who wrote this song being introduced to Rod Stewart on a TH-cam clip. The meeting was very sincere. This is a beautiful song and beautiful story. This song will go on forever. (I'm a wee bit Irish).
Well done Rod!!! I am an Irish woman and forever your fan!

@@johnmcevoy1038 I know 😃
Each time I hear this song, I cannot help but cry. Though I know he sings it in English for clarity, I wish he would learn to sing it in Gaeilge. Now THAT would set an Irish audience on fire!
By the week rod Stewart goes higher and higher in my estimations as an artist and a human being stay healthy Rod music wouldn't be the same without you
A great interpretation and rendering of an outstanding love song.Thanks.

I am Irish & have loved rods music for many year think this is an absolutely amazing version of Grace
Welll done Rod absolutely beautiful
For me it's about the song and the two people who the song is, about!! Irish history is written in song and this one is exceptionally great. It causes a tear every time.. Rebels we will always be until every corner of our land is free. England itself will always be in chains until Ireland is in bondage no more..
Well if the English had a referendum to leave irland and Scotland
The English would let you stand on your own 2 feet . we voted to leave uerope .you can see by comments English basterds etc the Irish poeple saying these things were not about at time of killing.unlike the English who in the 70s lost love ones . English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone
I absolutely agree

@@roderickdavidstewart5200 wonderful! Thanks for sharing your talents, very much appreciated! God bless!
To be brutally honest, never really had a thing for Rod's music, but obviously, as a passionate Celtic supporter I wished him the best... When i clicked on this video I was half expecting a butchering session.. however, I think I've just become a Rod Stewart 'fan'. Good on ya fella! Rod's just put Grace, and the tragic story of one of Ireland's many martyrs onto the global sphere. Kudos to you, Rod Stewart, Sir.
A gteat song whicj was sung by a great Artist every word so true Grace.
I am English and love this song. I hate our history and the way we treated people around the world in the name of empire. Well done Rod. Supporting a United 🇮🇪🏴🏴☮️
Thanks rod for singing that song for Ireland 🍺
Is he singing it for irland or is he making money out of the Irish he Scottish then English then American .
Rod loved the story of the lrish history so yes he was very proud to sing this beautiful lrish song thanks Rod
