Perhaps you all have a point. But I say, famines may come, wars be fought, ships may sink, but the fire of the music never goes out. Music is how we pass the torch.
Irish music is full of patriotism.
They sing about there Heroes and the Men who fought and died hundreds of years ago. I like this and i think, that the People in the Republic of Ireland, all can be Proud of their ancestors
Yes I part Irish and love Freedom.
Irish music is incredible.Great feeling
Thank you comrade!
I have my Sister to thank for turning me on to the High Kings. She had been to one of their Concerts and got me one of their CD's. I fell in love with their singing!
The Best Group since The Clancy Brothers. God Bless Them Both.
God bless you carrying the Clancy's Brothers. R,I,P,
The best thing about this song is the comment section. There's no raging debate about politics or religion, just people expressing their admiration of Irish music and of Ireland. Brilliant!
And a thousand pikes were flashin by the rising of the 🌕
Well they fought for poor old Ireland, and full bitter was their fate,
Oh what glorious pride and sorrow, fills the name of ninety-eight!
Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating hearts in manhood burning noon,
Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon
At the rising of the moon, At the rising of the moon
Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon.
Rory Stephenson-Eves i wonder why nobody ever sings that line...
Makes me want to kill an english royal with my bare hands. Much love to English people, I just despise those reptiles in power.
@@OromisBack copyright issues? Know the song is old but at the same time if someone has cut a copy with the full version...? Just guessing really.
The orange and the green beat,i love it🥰
Until my Sister got me hooked on the High Kings, I only knew this song as "The Orange and the Green".
I love being half Irish! My poppy which is my great Grandpa is Irish. my other side is German!
I'm also from Germany!
I'm most prominently Irish with German, Russian, Swedish and Scotish mixed in 🇨🇮🇷🇺🇩🇪🇸🇪🏴
You know, I had a shitty day with hard PT. As soon as I listened to this song, among others, I get happy. Just something about Ireland that makes me unable to be upset.
Just watched The Rising of The Moon on TCM wow great Irish History
Any good?
Great song for Rebellions and for celebrations.
Birthdays, funerals, divorce settlements, you name it
Soon EIRE WILL COMPLETE … and the fucng English rule will go from NI
Same music like "The orange and the green" Funny song. Greetings from the Italy. Ciao.
MY people are from Ireland! My GGF Fox came from Dublin and studied under Samuel Chase Fox, my GGF General Stephen Moylan came to George Washington via Cork and Portugal shaking his fist as a fierce war Patriot he named the United States of America and was a proud Irishman! He founded the Friendly Sons of St Patrick with John Barry and Thomas Fitzimons to help the Irish come under better conditions!
Love this song and patriotic vibes from Irish diaspora America to you Ireland!!🇺🇸🇮🇪💪
We need more of this today!
One person is clearly from Scotland XD!! Epic Song!!
I wonder what it would sound like of these guys did "Come Out Ye Black 'n Tans"
Would be a good sound I can bet you that 😂🙏
Like everything else they do, awesome I'm sure!
Good suggestion
Magic that's what
Always wished they would
Lovely song my father sang it long time ago
Wonderful cover! The first song I heard to this tune was the Irish Rovers’ “The Orange and the Green” so every time I try to sing along I end up slipping into Orange and the Green by accident XD
Same for me, but I slip into "The wearing of the green".
The Orange & The Green is a parody of this song.
The High Kings are possibly the best band out of Ireland, I'm sure my wife wouldn't agree she's a Westlife fan :o) I liken them to A Scots band and one of my favourites, Runrig. This has to be a one of their best songs, it don't matter where you come from music is there to be enjoyed by everyone.
i wish the HIGH KINGS would come back to Texas. i miss seeing you guys! i remember the lunch i had with martin like it was yesterday even though it was in 2008
We Irish tend to celebrate life through music and drink. Even though its about losing to the English. We will sing from our hearts and damn the rest of the world and what it thinks. Thats why we have wakes when one dies. Carry on boys.
You're American mate
RugbyLifeUK even though I dislike this crap music I need to say that if "matt wolf" says he's Irish ..who are you to say he's not?All Americans are immigrants don't you know that..
rust in peace
"All Americans are immigrants don't you know that.."
not me i'm American, i was born here.....
and if i go to Ireland and tell people i'm Irish, i'll get laughed off the island..... same for Madeira and Montreal...
John O'Brien Ok John O'Brien first if all you might have been born in America but you are of Irish decent yes? Your country isn't that old you do know that right? Everyone in the USA and Canada either their parents or grandparents came over from Europe or Africa or Asia correct? If you say your American and nothing else why are blacks that are born there too still referred to as African Americans?? And I'm sure if you ever came to Ireland you would be very welcome here.Do you know where in Ireland your family came from?
rust in peace "african american" comes from race-baiters who constantly try to keep us divided...
My portuguese ancestors came to the US around 1908.
My french ancestors were a founding family in canada (google Louis Hebert)
Dennis O'Brien left Kilrush in Clare and joined the Brittish army in 1846 at Oughterard... the 88th foot... eventually was stationed in Stockport in England and married a girl from Roscommon.... after getting shot in the leg during the Crimean War (at the battle of Inkerman) he went back to stockport, had a couple of daughters, packed them, the wife and mother-in-law up and emigrated to the US in the middle of our civil war.... had two more kids over here....
So, not counting the native american blood from the french side.... my european ancestors came over 500 years ago, 150 years or so ago and a 100 years ago.....
I'm sure i'd be welcomed in Ireland.... but i'm not Irish.... at most i'm Irish-ish.... i don't even have the genetic marker a member of the Dal Cas should have.... so i'm not even a real O'Brien....
I am however 100% American.... though i do love Guinness, Black Bush and the Wolfe Tones....
One of my favourite Irish folk songs performed by my favourite Irish band makes for one of my favourite videos.
There's nothing like Irish music.
I do not believe the blessed green isle will ever be occupied again by any foreign contingent - military or otherwise. I would be proud to represent my Irish clan in either this world or the next...I have a small advantage, it's this band of angels that's been keeping me safe all these years. English, Spanish, and Irish and ASL will be accepted as the "lingua franca" of all "refugios" whose paths I may cross "down the road..."
it's a so powerful song. i love that band. I love the irish music
Fantastic. Love the uptempo!
When I get a mandolin for Christmas, I'm going to play this song on it once I unwrap it!
So how is it coming with the practice
How’s that go? I play mandolin myself as an amateur. This is one of my aspirations as well, though I haven’t mastered chop chords yet.
@@yandengray4516 I didn't get a mandolin for Christmas that year sadly, I ended up with a Nintendo Switch instead. I did however end up with a melodica the following year, and this year I got a ukulele bass.
@@stevenkramer6217 I had to play it on my banjo instead because I didn't get a mandolin.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 sounds awesome honestly
Why is everyone saying a rebellion song should be mournful and sorrowful? You think the rebels are gonna be all "Well shite, we're fighting for a lost cause, our music may as well reflect it"?
+BDNeon I totally agree. I love the song "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya" and I heard both slow and fast versions. I prefer the fast versions because it makes wanna go (pardon the expression) fuck shit up!
This ia a good ol' rebel rouser...songs of rebellion are songs of unrest and riot, not formal dirges...those come later, and there is plenty of time for that later...Dixie was always played as a somber tome, almost like a hymn....then, one evening, a fire started in the lobby of a theatre, so the manager, in order to avert a panic while they were putting out the fire, had the band play Dixie, so everyone would stand...after once through, the band leader continued , each time picking up the tempo...crowd was clapping along stomping their feet, and never even noticed the fire....the faster rendition of Dixie was so popular it came to be the standard...
Totally True!!
Literally 90% of Irish rebel songs are cheerful
Reach McReach that’s because only the Irish truly know how to “fuck shit up” and have an awesome time as well!
Unconquered, we shall still remain the army of the free
Wow these guys are great live!!
i love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless the Irish! They stood up and we should take their example!
god you
Love this version
I love this song!
So do I......but not this
Splendid.
Fantastic group of lads, love the up beat. They always have a good old time
I love the solo they always do after yhe first verse
Fantastic
Great songs!!!!
Ha, rock & roll version......I like it. Good job fellas!
Great song
Brilliant!!!
Love it!
First time I have heard this group , really enjoyed their music. Will be listening to them a lot more.
NO, it didn't. The rebellion of 1798 was brutally crushed. This song, written about that rebellion, was meant to be a rallying cry for the Fenian rebellion of 1867 (also brutally crushed). There was no happy ending. BUT, they play it in the true spirit of the song, which was to rouse the rebels to fight again. Tragic, given the result, but accurate in spirit. And a great drinking tune, either way - drown your sorrows or up the rebellion!
ITs fantastisk musik love from Denmark
I just realized where I've heard this tune before: "The Orange And The Green" by The Irish Rovers
Written to the same Irish lilt, but the tune itself predates both songs (Rising of the Moon being older)
The wearing of the green
Great performance
I love Martins flute part :D
Hey, these guys are really good when they just stand up there and deliver a song like they do here. So much of their other stuff that I've seen has been so over-produced that it's laughable.
Perhaps, but addictive nontheless
thank you very much :) I'm just of the same oppinion. I don't understand why everybody still hates Germany for what it did long time ago, most people didn't actually live at that time.
Just enjoy this awesome music!! Greetings from southern Germany ;)
Tiocfaidh ár lá! Forward Irishmen!!
Absolutley sterling instrumental
Hopefully one day we will have freedom for the whole island. Tiocfaidh ár lá.. From Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪☘
The whole island wont be free if the globalists take over.
Nicee🙏🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
At primary school I learnt The Wearing O' the Green to this great tune.
One of Finbarr's best lead songs. :))
i dont care that a rebellion song is supposed to be sad mournful this is a great cover and it brings some happyness to this sad time
Simon Meadows I totally agree
The wearing of the grey!
how in the world can anyone dislike this
@Kriemelen It's the same melody as The Wearing of the Green too!
Love the culture
@Weasel1282 totally agree m8 :) and god bless in your hope 2 set foot in ireland :) u will enjoy when u get here :)
The rocky road tae Dublin Is my favorit one
Listen to galway girl by high kings
For the big fella
Lord We are One Love your daughter ♡♡
By riding of the moon
Lyrics because someone had to do it. "O come tell me Sean O'Farrell,
tell me why you hurry so?"
"Hush ma bouchal, hush and listen"
And his cheeks were all aglow
"I bear orders from the Capt'n
Get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon"
"O come tell me Sean O'Farrell
Where the gath'rin is to be?
At the old spot by the river,
Well known to you and me.
One more word for signal token,
Whistle up the marchin' tune,
With your pike upon your shoulder,
By the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder,
By the rising of the moon.
Out from many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching through the night,
Many a manly heart was beating,
For the blessed morning light.
Murmurs rang along the valleys,
To the banshee's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing,
By the rising of the moon.
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing,
By the rising of the moon.
All along that singing river
That black mass of men were seen,
High above their shining weapons,
flew their own beloved green.
"Death to every foe and traitor!
Whistle out the marching tune.
And hurrah my boy for freedom;
At the rising of the moon".
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon,
For the pikes must be together;
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon,
With your pike upon your shoulder;
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon,
And a thousand pikes were flashing;
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon,
By the rising of the moon
For the pikes must be together;
By the rising of the moon".
At the rising of the moon,
At the rising of the moon,
And hurrah my boy for freedom;
At the rising of the moon".
Shawn Patrick Mulrooney here. People are from Galway. do not be fooled, we are yanks but the roots still run deep.
i agree, People are from Galway. Not all people, but some people
Man that lad can thump a bodhrán...he sounds like an entire drum corps...
He's my favorite :-)
***** You got to meet them???
***** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHH I'M DYING OF JEALOUSY OVER HERE. (Seriously, though--that's awesome!! I'm so happy you've gotten to meet them . . . I just hope I'll be as lucky someday . . .)
***** Thanks :D Ohhhh, I would love that!! I'll have to check it out!
+Riley Jay Banasik oh, so lucky! I haven't been to a live concert yet, mainly because I am still in high school and can't travel long distances on my own, and partly because (as far as I know) they've never come near the northwest corner Of CT ...someday. :)
Up Wexford
I'm singing this song in choir and it sound so much different
I see your point, but I think songs like this are a culture's way of commemorating and celebrating its history. No doubt those involved in the revolt felt the anticipation of the rousing call to arms as this song portrays it, as well as apprehension at what could happen.
TAL. i love Eire and her people. iv met a few but unfortunatly never touched her soil other then stones from a creek which a friend brought me. i hope to change that and see the day when Ulster is free from the english
With my pike slumped in rags by this flap-happy slappy-wag
♡♡
@MvTCracker It's slower on their CD, Memory Lane.
Does anyone know what kind of flute or whistle is used here?
@TheGlenmanusskinhead thank you
Have you heard Peter Paul and Mary's version? Check it out, it's more in keeping with the result of the rebellion the song touts.
Has anyone ever noticed that this tune appears to be the same as the song the orange and the green by the Irish rovers?
I love mandolina
the wearing of the green
For the Great Irish Republic )
Я нислова не понимаю, но звучит прекрасно
aaaaaaaaat the raising oooof tha mohoon aaaat the raising ooof tha moon
This is about the revolt of 1798, which was savagely crushed by a terrified English government and resulted in one of the most tragic and prolonged periods of bloodshed in Irish history. To make it a jolly jumping dancing song is like whooping with joy at a funeral.
Real irishmen
1 year later Erin go bragh
it's the same tune, I got you bro:)
Haha, Westlife is pretty good too. I have nothing against them. But, Runrig is a phenomenal band. They are probably my favourite Scottish band.
I heard this and immediately thought of "Wearing of the Grey"
It's not by the Irish Rovers. It's an old Irish folk song, and they are meant to be sung to the same tune. Same as The Wearing of the Green
Aloha I’m shanebearddj I’m biggest fan ever best music ever
can someone tell me the instruments used in this performance?
From left to right: Mandolin, Guitar, Bodhran, and I'm not certain about the last but it appears to be a Mandola.
one dislike = the queen of england!!
Who dislikes this the 69 of you are shameful with your modern audio tuned modern music
What's the name of the instrument playing at 2:33 ? A banjo ?
Mandolin
