It’s such a shame that people don’t know about or have forgotten the tragic story of Grace’s sister Muriel, which in some ways is as sad if not more so than Graces story and of course are events that increased the devastation and sense of loss for Grace herself and the children. Sad times indeed but a period of history the Irish people can be so proud of, times and events that still stand as a beacon of light for Irish freedom. It is their memory and deeds that keep the flame of liberty alive.
My friend its just a little factor in my life and its like this. If we don't remember what or where we have come from then how are we going to know where we are going 👊🥊🥊🥊🥇🥇🥇🥇♠️♥️♦️♣️
@@Puterrrr Muriel Gifford, Grace's sister was married to Thomas MacDonagh, another leader of the Easter Rising. They had 2 young children together, he was also executed, and then about a year later, she tragically died while swimming. Leaving the 2 children parentless.

Monumental. Magnificent and everything an Irishman could ever ask for. The true love of his woman and his dedication to his beliefs. You can't import that from any of those false flag nations. Our heroes were Irishmen. No nation on this earth have the hearts of Irishmen.
Please remember the start of the 1916 Proclamation *Irishmen and Irishwomen* and remember those brave Irish women, 272 of whom fought during the Easter Rising. Our heroes were both Irishmen and Irishwomen.
@@Robbikelly Where does he imply that, where does he say that our heroes were Irishmen and “Irishwomen”? In fact if you look at Jan 22 the true hearts of the Irish Republic were 100% of the women but not 100% of the men.
@@benmoriarty4853 The phrase Irishmen has become a universal term. Your thinking into this way to much trying to cause problem. We have a fantastic history of female involvement and leadership. He didn't say one bad thing about that, he was clearly just writing a rallying message that you were to stupid to understand the nuance of.
I think that of all the stupid things England has done in Ireland, the drawn out executions of the leaders of 1916 was the dumbest. Before the executions, most Irish were pretty indifferent to rebellion. After the killings, especially that of James Connelly who was seriously injured and had to be carried in a stretcher and tied to a chair to be shot, Ireland got a massive surge to obtain freedom.
We, in 2023 are a monument to the success of the men of 1916, things may not be perfect but we have done pretty damn good. Fuckin heartbreaking song though.
@@tom_anderson If we were having this conversation in the 1990s, I would have agreed with you. However, look at the country today. We're ruled over by psychopaths, lunatics and pension collectors. Younger generations increasingly cannot afford housing, taxes are through the roof and we have a mountain of debt withal. There are also many things that I can't mention on youtube, but do you really think our Founding Fathers wanted something like the hate speech bill to exist?
Anyone from Adelaide South Australia, will/should know of Martin Timmins who has unfortunately passed away now, and used to love singing this Solo!!!!.... He was a great man, who made us all proud.... xoxoxoxoxox
A young man who was a poet not a fighter and in bad health when you look at photos of Joseph you realise what bravery is all about and as we all know Grace never married again.
Played this song to my Beautiful Father the day before he sadly died in hospital. We both cried and was the last song we ever shared. Cry everytime I hear it 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Jim was a good friend of my late Brother Charlie who sang and played with the Gollybeggermen ,, a lovely Man with great old school Dublin Banter and song Writer,, R.I.P. all who have left us
@@kevinpatton8228 I find it embarrassing that I have to leave my country to sing patriotic songs. I’m ashamed of what my country has become. A bunch of posh rugby following libtards who dropped their anthem and flag like it means nothing.
Wow you have a wonderful history and as a Irish woman I'm proud of your son god bless him 🙏✌️all the way from Dublin. The USA are or where the police of the world Trump messed that up for a bit, won't go into that hopefully the USA will be that light of democracy again but tell your son how even though I don't know him I promise Irish people are grateful and how proud you must be of him. Oh as a little girl I did dance for the Dubliners I did Irish dancing for years and my aunt had a pub in Dublin and they would drink there this was back in the 80' there's nothing like Irish music it touches your heart ❤️ no matter where your from again God Bless your son 🙏
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 1916. I still get chills when I hear this song and yes I do tear up.
Do you know sir u make me feel proud of your family the way you speak about them thanks it was lovely to read your story. Happy New year to one and all
May be the saddest song of all time. It’s impossible to think what they were thinking and feeling as they said their marriage vows. I’ve been to that chapel. The air is heavy with sorrow. Kilmainham Jail. Visit when next in Dublin. ☘️💧🙏☘️🌹
Touches me deeply 😥 , goodbye the only person I've truly loved in this life, I am so so sorry about it all, the craziness the hurt I caused....I wish I'd met you years ago and met your parents too and you'd met my grandparents. Life is so short for regrets. I have so many regrets , I wish I'd not been so angry all those years growing up and I wish I'd grown up.
😭😢😭I cry so hard when I listen to this song,,,I watch a movie called Duke,about a Veteran had a dog was his best friend,and he thought his dog had died because he took it to the clinic a Veterinary Clinic to have it put to sleep but he left a note but the doctor saved the dog's life and they tried to find the man that was the veteran and they reunited him and Duke it is a true story about a veteran and his dog a really great movie it sad and then it brings you tears of joy too,,, God Bless them Both and God bless all our veterans🏅
My 1 true love played and song this when I fought and won breast cancer war iam now battling bone cancer although they say am terminal I will keep fighting 😢❤❤
Shay checking in from dublin I lost 4 brothers and my mother within 2 years we wear a great singing family and my brothers wear very musical I find it very hard to sing your songs I keep thinking about the song the day the music died please God we will sing again thank you for Luke and the others❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jim I seem to know you already but I've been listening to you years I find it so lovely and horrible well why not to dwell on the past I always love you music most of it The fool on the Hill Take care with love
My Dad , my brother and myself all served in plunkett Barracks , The Curragh , Ireland.....the cavalry barracks. We have 92 years culminative service there. Not too ling since their " crown forces" carried out this act of cowardice.🇮🇪
At least there were given a CM trial unlike all those anti brave Treaty IRA men who were executed by the Irish Free State / National Army "without any trial at all".

I was on a tour bus leaving Kilmainham Gaol when the tour guide sang this. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house afterwards.
I sang it on a guided tour at her grave in Glasnevin cemetery.
I use to work Irish pub in Spain bro. My managar Jason was sing this song every day :)) love it it's my song
Very beautiful love song

I cannot sing or listen to this without weeping.
Just in case you haven’t heard it, you should listen to Dan McCabe’s cover of this song. Absolutely amazing.
Well don't listen to it then

@whotube3643 He's was not hung merley they shøț him ded a coward death for a brave man
"Will they say we failed?"
None of the men of 1916 failed. On the contrary, given the state of Ireland in 2022, it is WE who have failed them.
Sadly, you are dead right...
Ireland is beautiful, prosperous, free and at peace.

Totally a fantastic song with such sad meaning
Yes I do, which is one of the things that shows sadness in these fantastic songs.
Chills every time I hear it
Brilliant singer and song ❤
A great singer and musician. As a guitarist he was second in the Dubs only to Eamonn Campbell.
A tragic story of love and loyalty for the ages to equal any fictional or factual story sad it's not better known brings me to tears every time
Lyrics
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet, all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let thismoment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon yourfinger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to everunderstand,
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for thisDear land
But when Pádhraic called me to his side down in theG.P.O.
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let thismoment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon yourfinger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be ofyou
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyonewill know
I love so much that all I could see his blood upon theRose.
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let thismoment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon yourfinger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
This is so beautiful.
So sad ❤ bless you 🙏
Heartbreaking heros of their time
Love this song very sad story
