My mum was dying in hospital, the nurses said you can play songs and hold her hand. I played this song on my phone, to her with all the family around, it was a special moment for me.

I randomly started singing this song in the shower today so I came here to listen, the comments broke my heart, I love all of you ❤❤❤.

This song played as I said my final goodbyes to my nana a month ago. She married my grandad at 16 and till her dying day she adored him as he did her. His blue eyes would twinkle everytime he looked at his wife of 53 wonderful years. He lost his love and he lost the twinkle in his eyes on the 3/4/15. Sleep tight my beautiful nana, I'll love you for all eternity ❤️

I sang this to my Mum who was so poorly. She was Irish & sang back bits to me. Even though she was so ill in a care home & I miss her every day of my life 😢

I played this song at my father's funeral a few weeks ago, it was our special song. It's hard to listen to it now as my heart is shattered into a million pieces, I loved my dad with all of my heart 💔

This is quite possibly, the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[@neilisagum7623]

They don't produce gems like this anymore, this kind of genius is a thing of the past but will live on forever.

My favorite Irish group of all time. No politics just pure lyrical, musical and vocal talent. Sometimes rough often thought provoking, but always enjoyable.

My parents met at 16 and 17years old on Chorlton Green before WW2. They married after the war and my father worshipped her all his life. I first heard this song 198something. It broke my heart and still does.
