Those moments you stumble upon something in TH-cam and the world just stops around you, leaving you in a bubble where all is good and you just listen....
If you see a group of Irish people like this in a pub, just sit down and wait...sooner or later the magic will happen🙂 I heartly miss my Irish friends and evenings full of lovely voices and ballades like this 💕💕💕
This is what we miss in the time of a global pandemic.... Sitting around a table with friends sharing songs and stories. Eight years later... Thank you! Hope all is well in Ireland.
I was born in New Jersey, my mother's side is from Dublin. At big family meetups some people always start singing and have beautiful voices, i will be sad when the family meets in the future and no body sings
I can't understand why this video doesn't have more views, or for that matter; hasn't gone viral. The setting is perfect; just a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table; a symbol for friendship and kinship and where memories are made and good meals eaten, laughs and stories told, songs sung. Very poignant song and props to the singer. thank you for sharing this video; it is a jewel.
A typical Saturday night gathering around the kitchen table for a bite to eat, the craic and a session with family and friends. A lovely ballad from a fine voice.
@@cruisepaige yep, you might have a smoker or 2. Leave them at it, I don't drink or smoke but I really don't mind those that do. Open a window and enjoy the company.
As an Irish immigrant to Canada, I found the singing of this ballad very poignant. It brought great memories of my childhood back. We would spontaneously break into song, in pubs and in groups. Over the years I have sung to my grandchildren, and although the voice is not as good as it once was, my darling grandchildren will ask me repeatedly to sing songs over and over again. This man has a lovely voice.
Ah, don't stop singing to them! I'm third generation and I wish we had some of that tradition still. And they were musical people, to boot! Well, we at least have a few recipes....
If this man had released more music I'd have bought up every bit of it So Cool! No auto tune BS... Not one bit of fakery Just sweet all natural talent... So Beautiful! Wish there was more... Does anyone know the name of the song?
That was great lovley voice.bought back great memories of having a sing along in the pub in Galway.i was on holiday there with my sister we had gone to trace our roots .my Granddad came over from Galway to England in 1919 had five sons all who served in ww2. The stories my Granddad used to tell me were wonderful.im 74 now doubt ill ever go back now. Thank you for posting this.
I myself am a Nflder, and never get tired of this video, constantly watching , listening and loving it, reminds me of our good old kitchen parties back home. Simply amazing voice.
I’m Palestinian and majority of my family are redheads and I love when people ask if we are Irish! We take it as a compliment. I love my Irish brothers and sisters! Palestinian by blood Irish by heart! 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇪
Full bloodied irish man here, what's the craic with ye all.. I know ye all love the Irish stories. Like the British empire taking on all countries and dominating them. But little old ireland sent out a handful of irish men to take on the British empire.. They could not defeat a handful of irish men and women... almost like your modern day 300
Im so glad that for once , my phone listening to my convos with friend and family payed off ... I love Irish people , Irish soul , music and tradition ... So beautiful , if I wasn’t Serbian , would’ve definitely work on being Irish 😂 Beautiful , stay safe and love you all 🇷🇸💚🇮🇪

@@lauraf7937 hi I looked for the original singer and I tell ya in my opinion this man sings the song better than the original singer! 3 years on and I still love listening to him
From a massive Irish family in Liverpool. This video is so reminiscent of all the family gatherings we had when I was a child when all the ould fellas would sing their ballads and rebel music. Beautiful 🇮🇪🍀
It was in the hungry forties when old Ireland lay in gloom. Thousands sailed from Galway Bay to find a brighter home. Among them were three comrades who were brave and strong and bold, And they came from Dinish Island off the Lettermullan shore. The streets of Philadelphia they had heard were paved with gold, But very soon they realized it melted with the snow. The pangs of hunger know no bounds; they make the young look old, So they went to California a-hunting for the gold. They staked a claim beside the hill known as the {...}, And started digging into it some fortunes for to hoard. It was a promise to their parents on the day they left their home: They'd bring it back to Dinish off the Lettermullan shore. McDonagh went to town one day to rustle up some stores. He was killed by three banditos who robbed him of his hope. Folan and Jack Larkin they waited at {their home}, And they buried him beside his flame on the side of {...}. And when the mound was patted down and the three Hail Marys said, They placed a little wooden cross as a marker on his head. Jack Larkin faced into the east and he swore a mighty oath There was blood for blood; he'd have revenge or never show his face at home. That very day Jack went to town with his pistol in his belt, And he went into the tavern where they killed his cousin Pat. He called out the banditos, and when the fight was o'er, The three of them were lying dead upon the barroom floor. Jack took a bullet in his back and for three long weeks he lay, Till one night he says to Folan: "Sure I'll never see the day, But tell my folk in Dinish if you ever make it back; Tell 'em I got the bastards that killed my cousin Pat." He was buried with his cousin in the grave upon the hill, With a marker at his head and feet and the three Hail Marys said. Before the mound was patted down Jack Larkin's mighty soul Had flown back home to Dinish off the Lettermullan shore
@@georginalowry5910 are you having any luck with that? What part of Ireland is this in please? Does he sing often, I really hope he does! Could you confirm his name please, how's he's life been? Are you able to tell us more about him please? God bless him and that voice
The gentleman smoking the cigarette never exhaled. No cell phones, just a good time with each others company. Very Nice. Greetings from Texas USA. I wish I could have been there.
@Penelope Stout I understand why Americans say it but you are Americn, be proud of your country. DNA is biological sructure, it has not got a nationality. You are American, your country has a culture too, be proud of it.
@J T All I know about the guy is he has a plaque at some high end university in the UK somewhere, and he is arguably the first person to scale mt. everest. Noone knows for sure because he never came back, his body is still up there on the side of the mountain. The only person I know that ever met him was my grandmother, & she has now passed.
Beautiful💚☘️💚 Much love and respect, from Saskachewan Canada. Me Da, god rest his soul, passed in August this year. He was born in Northern Ireland, Derry to be exact. Emigrated to Canada in 1956. He would’ve cried, listening to your tune. Peace be with you💚
One of my favorite things when visiting my family in Europe is sitting down, at night after eating, especially outside and someone whipping out a guitar and people just singing, vibing, under the stars. And just. It's such a special moment.
Nothing better than the beautiful Irish accent singing a beautiful song.. I'm from Liverpool so can hear the Irish scouse mixture in his voice . Very beautiful , just beautiful. May the Lord look over you and God bless you all. YNWA
I love story songs and this one touched my heart. It is especially relevant to me because I live near Coloma California where the California gold rush started in 1849. There are many Celtic crosses and Irish names in the Coloma graveyard.
Hey...that's interesting!! You have a real connection to this song then!!. Thank u for your comment. maybe u could find a gravestone of the name Larkin in the local graveyard. Probably not...but that would be something..wouldn't it?
@@georginalowry5910 Hey there! I know it’s been a few years, but if you’re still wondering there’s a site called “findagrave.com” that will help you in your search. I looked up “Larkin” in California, sorted by oldest death, and found quite a few - some born in Ireland!

I love when this happens randomly. Someone's in the mood for singing, the song needs to come out of the soul then and there. Myself being Irish I appreciate this video very much. This man sings beautifully.
@@filex95 I have been searching for a week and found three different singers doing this song. I put my version of the lyrics up in the comments today. Christy Moore sings about a different Larkin.
I love my irish heritage. Although born in Boston my father made sure we knew Ireland. All my family and friends over in Ireland. He was so proud to be irish I never realized as a boy why we went over so much or why he praised the Irish. I’ll tell you at age 32 if it wasn’t for the Irish the world would not be the way it is today. They have done so much and have so much passion. I love Ireland and the people. Thanks dad for making sure I know my irish background.
Love these kind of tunes. So mournful & shows the trials these people endured. No matter what life threw at them, they overcame so much to still be here today. Their resilience, love of country, respect for their culture, is inspiring these many centuries later. I have only a smalll amount of welsh in my blood, but the kinship I feel, even as an American, well, this just pierces me to my soul!!
I forgot yesterday was st pat until the evening but for some reason when I woke up yesterday morning i had the urge to learn this song... of which there are two videos on TH-cam I can find of it - I wish I could thank these people for sharing it with me - its a song ill make sure I never forget the words - kind of like Jim Jones at botney Bay
There is everything in this lament: hopes, hunger, wild dreams, journeys of exile, love, prayers, betrayal, life and death of course... You can smell the salt of the sea and the powder of the guns while your ears can tell distant laughter, giddy fiddle, howling desert wind, a lone bell tolling, rasping sobs and prayers, a last breath, even a gasp. Your mouth is tasting warm tears, sour beer, tobacco and whiskey and you can feel beyond the soft green grass and briny sea, the burning sun, wet shivering sweat, red iron blood and blue cold flesh... There is a poem in every Irish song and in each Irish singer a true poet. You need to halt, kneel and collect, for here is lays... the Irish soul. AMEN...
"His soul swooned softly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead." - James Joyce
The most beautiful sight I ever saw (not including my babies of course) was Dublin from the window of an Aer Lingus plane on a bright winters morning as the sun was coming up. Returning for good, home at last after 8 years living in New York. Not that it wasn’t great there but home is much better.
“That was absolute. Fucking. Class.”
Couldn’t have said it better friend
I miss the days when people just were sat around the table. Music drink cards stories. It wasn’t that long ago.
Oh me too miss it soooo much
Lovely. Hope he passes this song on to younger family members
Haha that tradition hasnt gone anywhere in ireland
The days when people listened to the song rather than filming it
it happens all the time
And that's with no digital filters and equalizers. No nothing but a few good beers, and a good buzz going. Imagine what he could do in studio!
So true...well said.
Buzz What's that
Also no need to look up the lyrics. Just off the top of the head. Love it
@ and no partial voice over like in modern concerts
My God man, there’s famous singers on stage wishing that they could sing as good as you. And they have a band behind them. Great voice 👍🏻
💯
Well said mate
It's so true!
There are lots of people who can sing very well even more who do not know that they can. And you can only record so many people
👍👍👍💯😇
Pretty exaggerated but okay
2020 and this just appeared, glad it did. Top of the heap. We should all sing like this and if unable, just shut up and listen
Right!
The majority of people should listen more, they might learn something.
Love it
unnecessary mate singing is for the joy of it true
Lovely tune a lovely voice can hide a deadly song though, if love to hear cheerier lyrics
These irish people man im telling u theres something about their voice. So mystical.
We are born with a love of beauty, music & poetry in our blood for sure!! 💚💚💚

The pangs of hunger know no bounds; they make the young look old,
So they went to California a-hunting for the gold.

Tell 'em I got the bastards that killed my cousin Pat."
He was buried with his cousin in the grave upon the hill,
With a marker at his head and feet and the three Hail Marys said.
Before the mound was patted down Jack Larkin's mighty soul
Had flown back home to Dinish off the Lettermullan shore

Beautiful! ❤️👏🏻❤️. Oh to sit at that table and hear a wonderful voice!
What a voice! Beautiful
Somebody in the room said "that was brilliant", and that it was. What an awesome voice. The continuation of a great tradition.
This was so amazing. What a fantastic voice. I love this. Thank you. Xxx
There is everything in this lament: hopes, hunger, wild dreams, journeys of exile, love, prayers, betrayal, life and death of course... You can smell the salt of the sea and the powder of the guns while your ears can tell distant laughter, giddy fiddle, howling desert wind, a lone bell tolling, rasping sobs and prayers, a last breath, even a gasp. Your mouth is tasting warm tears, sour beer, tobacco and whiskey and you can feel beyond the soft green grass and briny sea, the burning sun, wet shivering sweat, red iron blood and blue cold flesh...
There is a poem in every Irish song and in each Irish singer a true poet. You need to halt, kneel and collect, for here is lays... the Irish soul. AMEN...
"His soul swooned softly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead." - James Joyce
It’s enough to make you weep.
Hello from the north of our beautiful island. Beautiful song and beautifully sung..
...isn't he lovely...can we have more?... All of my Irish relatives are gone. The Tanseys'. They always sang...lovely people.
And not a smartphone in sight! People actually sitting around a table and looking at each other. How times have changed haha beautiful song!
Love that's it's getting bright outside.. such a voice!
TH-cam saw my homesickness and was like yeah. Yeah she needs this. And it was right.
Always welcome back home
The most beautiful sight I ever saw (not including my babies of course) was Dublin from the window of an Aer Lingus plane on a bright winters morning as the sun was coming up. Returning for good, home at last after 8 years living in New York. Not that it wasn’t great there but home is much better.
I cant wait until I can afford a house of my own, move out of Dublin city into a nice cottage somewhere and have my friends over for nights like this.
Liam Devine please invite me, I was there last year first time ever but I’ve been dreaming about it for 25 years before that!
I'm thinking the same
Go to Clare or Galway great people for music song and storytellers
make it happen
@@wesleysullivan8047 just moved out of Dublin actually.
