Usually I think of this song about a boy going to war and the dad awaits his return. Wonderful singer's rendition of a powerful and sad song. Let there be peace so no son goes to war anywhere anytime.
Amazing voice! My dad sang this song for as long as I can remember up to 2 days before he passed 22 years ago. At 66 yrs old, I still cry whenever I hear this song.
Have never heard this beautiful man sing before.. and totally astonshied I was.. his voice tore my heart right out of my body, so powerful and beautiful it was... never have I heard such emotion ., his face expressed every ounce of the emotion intended and demanded by this beloved song.. Many great tenors sing this.. and Finbar Wright sang it exactly as I believe that dear Irishman once sang it to his beloved son.. Indeed Finbar Wright has one of the most beautiful voices ever I have heard.. and his amazing rendition of this heartbreaking song is truly a treasure I shall cherish forever.. This serene video was made 10 years ago.. and was found by me just today on a TH-cam search for Danny Boy.. named my first born son Danny as it was my fathers favorite song which often he sang to me in his own lovely Irish tenor.. yes he was Irish as the day is long and rightly so proud of his heritage! So grateful to TH-cam for finding this for me.. it shall remain in my playlist forever! Thank you! Jen999💙
This was my mother's favorite song, and she named me after it. It was played at her funeral. I cry whenever I hear it, no matter who is singing it. This is a particularly nice version.
@MaiS Sm I just found this video. I have the same story you do. All through early years I was called Danny Boy. It is a lovely, lovely song with an attachment to the deepest memories. Bless you and those you love. Dan
To my grandfather Cornielus McGuire, his son and my Uncle Ray McGuire, KIA USMC Guam, and to my dear Mom, Margaret McGuire Gilkenson.. I lost you all years ago, but your memory never fades.
When i posted my first comment here 11 years ago, i was only missing my Immortal Beloved. I lost my Son 5 years ago from cancer in November. But my consolation is to know that Life and Love are eternal and my losses are only temporary.
@@GoofyChild33 my profound apologies. My German is quite limited and I thought that "freundin" was the feminine of "friend", and not "girl-friend". So so sorry for my mistake
Greetings from Manila, Philippines. I lost my younger brother in a motorcycle accident. His name was Adan, but I call him Danny. He was sweet, a joker and a drinking buddy. Sad, the person who drove the car and bumped him to death escaped from justice. Soon, when our Lord Jesus Christ returns, will see Adan, Danny again. Miss you my brother.
Not the drivers fault . It’s how the cookie crumbled. My friend lost his life in a car accident and his friend also. The Mother of her Son is blaming his Mother. Nobody is to blame as we have freedom to make choices. I lost too and i had to remind myself my husband made his choice to have the operation. Please forgive and move on.
A good friend of my name Danny Killed in Korea where we served, I think of him every time I here this song. I feel sad. R.I.P. Danny. Semper Fi. USMC 51-55
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear friend and of the innocence I'm sure you lost in the midst of such horrors. Bless you and thank you for your service to our Nation. Love and respect from Texas. (Please don't be sad)
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
Thank you Donna Stachowski, for the lyrics of the most beautiful song that I have heard in the past sixty years. O Danny Boy and So Deep is the night, are my most beloved songs, and I love Finbar Wright's renditions of these songs. Thank you very much!
@donnastachowski3867 Thank you very much for providing the lyrics to this song, one of two of my favorites, and both sung by Finbar Wright. A great voice. Thanks for reviving beautiful memories in my life.
Wow, THAT's the voice! I just went through a dozen singers covering this piece, and they all fell short at some point. But this is a beautiful, natural, powerful, and tender rendition. This is as close to perfect as a human can come. BRAVO!
@@scottishlore closest I have heard to this is Emmet Cahill.. his beautiful and emotional version also made me cry.. and he too is Irish, so.. Jen999💙☘️
Miss you so much Maury .. since you departed life has been a struggle. Iwill never forget you …. Never. The love of my life. You left too early …. I love you so much. ☘️
oh sunnie boy remember when danny lynch graced the hood. remember when and you will know how to win. the porch is closer than you think. danny you were a great friend. 😇
I'm not aware of a better arranged, better performed version of this, with full orchestra. His clarity is astonishing, the breath control here just perfect.

My friend Gene McCarthy just died at 75.A heroic U.S.Marine.God bless him
One night recently i listened to many versions of Danny Boy on TH-cam. This one is, by far, the best!!!
Jim McCann of the dubliners is the best I've heard.
Agreed
johnscott,- I agree. So far Jim McCane is my favorite version of this song 🎵 😊
Amazing voice! My dad sang this song for as long as I can remember up to 2 days before he passed 22 years ago. At 66 yrs old, I still cry whenever I hear this song.
A cheishable song for all. And this singer makes it more relevantly touching!
My mother loves this song she cried every time she heard it ❤
How I love this song, so many wonderful renditions, but this reaches my soul.
Try Rudi Night

So much emotion in his voice. You can feel the sadness. What a story in that song. Magnificent.
Beautifully sung. I would bet that there is not one dry eye in the audience.

What a rendition young man. Outstanding. Best I’ve heard since Burrows
"Danny Boy" is one of the few songs that belongs to all of Mankind. It touches every emotions across every race and creed of Man.
This is my favorite rendition of Danny Boy. Finbar Wright has an angelic voice.
Janis Hannes ❤

Oh MY! How simply BREATH TAKING!! A TRUE PROPER IRISH RENDITION of DANNY BOY. Simply out of this world. THANKS FINBAR!!
*greatest rendition of all time*
I am a french woman old 71 and this song is for me the best of the best and this man has an extraordinary voice and interpretation...It's fabulous.
Finbar Wright ...I have never heard...ever felt...such music. I cried. Thank you.
such talent & he's classically trained, all the Irish Tenors are except John McDermott who began the quartet.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

Thanks for reviving beautiful memories in my life.
This is the best rendition of this beautiful song, by a country Mile.
Song. This. Song. In. Choir. Lil. Girl. Elementary School in Lake Charles Louisiana and it stuck with me as an amazing most beautiful hunting song
My father's favorite song, played at his funeral service. RIP, daddy.
Sorry for your lost 😢
he's the best there is, and the best there ever was...... THANK YOU Edward Finbar Wright
Wow, THAT's the voice!
I just went through a dozen singers covering this piece, and they all fell short at some point. But this is a beautiful, natural, powerful, and tender rendition. This is as close to perfect as a human can come.
BRAVO!
Yes meant. To. Say. Haunting beautiful and ghostly like voice luv. It. So.
Agreed. The only other person I feel comes close, is Gordon Macrae's version.
try the great frank patterson, you will change your mind. regards Louie Vaccaro las vegas.

What a great solo for this special song he handles beautifully
Beautiful song 💕💕💕
What a beautiful voice!
Exceptional , such emotion and truth in his every word xxx
This song made my tears drop 😭 😢 😩 ❤️ 🤧 😫 😭
His voice has been an inspiration to me giving strength for when when health is low, making one day at a time so far possible. Just love his voice
World class performance. Don't know that I've heard a better version. Love this song!!
I agree. Other tenors force this lovely melody out of shape -- not what the composer wrote.
philip tropea yes but all 3 of the Irish Tenors sing it as it should be sung
I agree Finbar Wright did a class performance. ... did you ever hear the Mario Lanza version of Danny Boy..
The Weatherly/McCurry combination, perhaps the greatest musical combination of song ever. A fine rendition Finbar.
absolutely wonderful,my favourite version
Miss you so much Maury .. since you departed life has been a struggle. Iwill never forget you …. Never. The love of my life. You left too early …. I love you so much. ☘️
