Dude if this isnt played at my funeral im not going.
I’m 75. It’s already scheduled by an Irish singing group. I’m Episcopal, so it’ll be okay. I’m not Baptist.
That's as Irish a sentiment as ever there was, my friend.
My Scot/Irish husband passed away a year ago. This was the song I had always imagined being sung at his wake. Unfortunately there was nobody left to attend by the time he went. I played it for him at the burial site none the less knowing he would have both enjoyed and appreciated it. Maybe he heard it from heaven.
He heard it… I promise you
Absolutely he heard it, cheers for going through with it, he'd be proud.
I am sure he heard it.
I am sure He did.
I hope he did
I expect to pass shortly. I loathe dour Funerals but hope that my loved ones will play this at a party! I am 54% Scottish and ADORE this song with all my heart. If you read this, Joy be to you all! ❤
I don’t know you, Annie, but god bless you, or whatever else you believe in and hold dear ❤ make the most of the time you have left and spend it with those you love. Hopefully you’ll be granted a lot more time in this life, and I don’t know if you feel like it Will help so much, but I Will keep you in my prayer ❤️❤️
@@axdilez3486 You are very kind. Thank you!!
if you are still alive know you have amazing value in life and you will be sorely missed if, as you say, the skein is tied. Jesus is Lord. Repent if you havent and if you have then dear sister please be there when it is my time. there are lots of dogs and wonderful people upstairs waiting to greet you.
Annie, I'll see you on the other seaside. Cheers. 🍻
I pray that such a beautiful tribute is offered to you when such a time comes. If you are anywhere near Southern California, I would gladly do it myself if you family needed it.
Played this for my dad while he was on hospice at home. Played it for him has he took his last breath. Called my sister and hugged my dad until she got there to keep him warm for her to say goodbye. This song brings me to the heavens
Wow, that is incredibly moving -- thank you for sharing. I am so sorry for your loss, and so incredibly touched that this recording could provide some level of peace during such a difficult time. May your father's memory be a blessing! ❤-SR
❤
My husband passed away 8 weeks ago and he requested this for his funeral my son’s friend sung it at his grave it was wonderful the sun came out at the end everyone applauded him it was a big funeral it gave me great comfort ❤️🙏
Six years ago today, 3/9/2014, my eldest son died. Held his funeral on St. Paddy’s Day and an entire bottle of 25yo Laphroaig was had by me, my dad, his godfather and my two best friends. I’ve not had a drop of that since, and won’t, but raise a glass of every other scotch I find to my son on this day and many others. Until we can raise one together my boy, here’s to you. I miss you. I love you. 🥃❤️😢
Thank you for this version guys. It’s fantastic and now my favorite. 🙏🏻
What a lovely tribute to your son. I am sorry for your loss.
Ron Hesse good luck to you Mr Hesse. I wish you all the best.
Your son has inspired me to respond. He’s still got influence🌻
Madeleine Thank you. I’m amazed by the empathy lovely folks such as you have. 🙏🏻
Grandson of Sam NiFDy Oh that’s just awesome! You’ve made me smile today on a very difficult one. 🙏🏻
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I'm crying my eyes out because you are living my greatest fear in life; losing my precious son. I pray for peace and comfort for you while you wait for the blessed day when you'll be reunited and raise that toast together
My brother passed away on the 13th January this year after a beautiful winter sunset up North by Vancouver, B.C. I played this song sang my heart out and cried a healthy cry. I love the songs of our beautiful heritage and culture. 💚🍀
"In a world without gold, we would have been heroes"
Whatever the daemons, whatever the devils, whatever the doubts, shadows, nightmares and sleepless nights plague my brothers in arms, please know that there is always a place to lay your head in peace and still see the next day's beautiful dawn. HE provides, as surely as HE knows we have been cursed ...
Raise your glasses with me, brothers and sisters.
Here's to cheating. For if you cheat, may you cheat death.
Here's to stealing. For if you steal, may you steal a fair lady's heart.
Here's to drinking. For if you drink, may you drink with me!
Here's to all those who've gone to meet their Father. May He grant them everlasting peace.
And finally... here's to all of you! May you all be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead.
_Sláinte_ !
cromusic ibra beautiful!!!
It's "Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting and drinking"!
"If you cheat, may you cheat death"
"If you steal. may you steal your lover's heart"
"If you fight, may you fight for a friend"
"And if you drink! May you drink with me."
@@dilligaff1979 I didn't know the part about fighting. I just took the other 3 and edited it to my liking. And my last quote is part of a classic Irish blessing. "May your glass ever be full, may the roof over your head ever be strong, and may you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead."
Sláinte !
cromusic ibra Hahahah aw that’s great!
Alot of my military brothers had this played at their memorials. Every year on their anniversary as a toast to their memory we get a shot of Jack, hold it up, with tears in our eyes we sing to them. We sing to their families, we sing to their memories. We take our shot and hug each other and tell stories. Till it's our time for the parting glass, we'll continue to fill it with joy and love for all.
in a world without gold, we could have been heroes
-edward thatch "blackbeard"
If I'd be the bartender, the round would be on me
Ah, it's Ireland. You'd end up just giving everyone a free round for the road.
Well said
You mean the owner of the pub?
Good lads, all. Another round!
I'm a newfie I get ya by.
I've already told my wife I want this as the last song at my wake.
very good idea it is such a wonderful send off
And she goes first, she's getting this song, like it or not! ;)
Good choice
mtlyb look for the video from the funeral of Liam Clancy. People stand around his grave and sing this
Me Too!!!
One of my best friends passed away about a month ago. This song has taken on new meaning for me. I raise my glass in honor of Julie Davis.
An Ulster Scot here . This was indeed a Scottish folk song and a very poignant one it is too and given the very close cultural ties between the West of Scotland and the province of Ulster it’s little wonder it has become so very popular not just in Ulster (Northern Ireland) but throughout the whole of the island of Ireland and this is without doubt one of the best renditions of this song I have ever heard.
@@TheWrensHouse of course I’m Irish but I’m also of Ulster Scots descent , where is the problem you seem to have with identifying with both ? My ancestors came here to Ulster in the 1600s during the Plantation and our family roots have been traced to Tullibardine in Perthshire, can you trace your family that far back ? Do you even live in Ireland North or South ?
@@TheWrensHouse mate, this isn't even a Irish song. It originated in Scotland and still sung in Scotland. It's just a song and didn't even originate in Ireland so no good calling it Irish culture.
As a semi-practicing Brooklyn Irish Catholic
I'm questioning why you cannot just appreciate the sentiment
And not argue about the origin
PEACE
"May you be in heaven a full half-hour before the devil knows you're dead".
Out of the over 1.8 million views of this video, I'll bet 10,000 of them are mine. Unbelievably beautiful!
*Crying* Reminds me of my Grandpa. He immigrated from Ireland to America when he was a teenager. He lived to 102 and sang this and many other Irish songs to us grand kids at every family gathering. This was one of my favorites!
Agree with ye on this, my Uncle's still sing this song at family gatherings they are all from Northern Ireland. I never did get to meet my Grandpa but I hear he sang this also. I love my family. Crying Also.
❤️🍀👊
He lives, for as long as a single Irishman breaths. The spirit of our ancestors breaths within him.
Same here
I was very young when my (scottish) granpa sang that song to me. The time went on and I grew up (I live in Germany) and I simply forgot it. Maybe 4 years ago I heard it again and something broke out - I knew the lyrics, I knew the song and it had me bursting into tears. It took something like 3 weeks to remeber why... So long story short, I fell you brother
I've only watched this about 30 times in the last 24 hours.
Ive watched it about 20 times the last hour. It has been more or less on repeat once I found it. The most beautiful and harmonic version I ever heard. Reminds me about my grandad patrick and his old mens choir. Though they were never near as good.
These are rookie numbers
This group def deserves more attention.
I sent this 5m ago and instantly got a like?
amazin
good luck!
They do have a decent following on their other stuff. This song in particular is one of their covers that got spread ALL over Facebook a while back. But they’re also competing with well known groups like the High Kings for viewership on this song. While in general I prefer the High Kings, I like Face’s version of parting glass better...
Interpreten la cançó d'una manera meravellosa... Bellesa!!!
@@helpfulduckie5193 I'm a Celtist and I prefer Face's version to that of the High Kings. Not that there is anything wrong with the High Kings vocally. I am not necessarily a front line fan of Face's repertoire, but, they can really sing!
Susan Wozniak Agreed. They really nailed this song. For a diehard fan of the High Kings like me to say that, they’re definitely AMAZING!
For anyone who wants to sing along here are the lyrics.....
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
La ra la ra la la
La lala lala la la
La ra lala la la
La la la lala la la
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all
I KNOW THEM
Brilliant!
@@kriskelley5216 good for You!
good job Brian
Thank you so much!
This glass is for all the people who have gone RIP
Just when I thought this couldn't get any better, the drum came in.
Even more amazing when you realize that drum is a GUY WITHOUT A DRUM. Mark's vocal percussion is just mind-blowing.
Drums=Bagpipes in Kings version?
Honestly I don't know any other groups are producing their rendition of this song. This is it. It's done. There will not be any better, nor any to compare. Move on and raise your glass to Face Vocal Band for the ultimate rendition of The Parting Glass!
czcams.com/video/sFBWY_sA2QA/video.html test it
@@arkantim828 A good rendition - but IMO not close to this one...
The celtic woman
Freddie White does a acoustic version that is worth hearing. The two versions would compare almost like a nice wine and a very good Scotch.
This is the best version of this ageless classic.
Vocal percussionist... VOCAL percussionist. I absolutely love that not instruments other than one's vocals were used in this.
There's snare drum (?) playing in the background starting at about 2:00. Muted, but noticeable. But still, this is a great version using no wind/string/keyboard instruments.
@Cross Link: That is not a snare drum. That was produced by the vocals of Mark Megibow - I've seen him create the same effect in concert.
@@p1mpernel That's impressive if it is. Sure had me fooled!
you might enjoy the band "Home Free"
@@kennethbrink8014 I do indeed enjoy them, and many others. With Face on the verge of its 20th anniversary as a group, it's neat to see the "vocal band" version of a cappella really flourishing these days.
I'm not Irish but I'll raise a glass to this song everytime.
Technically it's a Scottish song, but we're willing to share.
@@AnonymousXIII So a double whiskey? NIIIIICE.
Why is no one talking about the baritone??? I’ve never heard a voice that is that deep and rich. Holy COW!!!
People have mentioned him years ago. He is a bass deeper than a baritone and yes he has a great rich voice.
Yep, I did notice it when I first watched this about 6 months after it was posted. Pretty unique to be able to go that low.
Amen. That's about the cleanest and most pitch-perfect bass I've heard if it's genuine. (No auto-tune, right?) Great song to show it off, and nice job by the sound engineer too!!
@@ericablair7747 , it is indeed genuine. That's Forest Kelly (good name for a song like this, no?) and I've seen him live with the group many times.
His voice is the reason I keep returning to this video. So much beauty in such a short span of time!
First guy starts singing....holy crap, what a voice, second one, same thing, and on, and on. Powerful spectacular singing guys. VERY nice.
try to get a live version of it, will sound differently i guess
@@gretes1298 czcams.com/video/uBtdTNuwJ1E/video.html :)
@@FaceVocalBand Sounds the same. Nicely done, gentlemen!
GreTEs trust me, they are even more amazing in person!
I spent three weeks in Dublin and explored the island......it was like a calling home. I belong there.
Such beautiful harmonies.
I play this every so often. The finest version out there. Stunning harmony.
I’ll be 69 years old in a month and without a doubt, this is the finest vocal group I have ever heard. WOW!!!
A parting glass of Tullemore Dew has been hoisted at all my family burials, and most recently my mothers. I keep the bottle in the truck for my visits, and amazingly this tune has cued up on local irish radio several times as i arrived at gravesite. It hold great value in the heart, just listen to the words
No question, the best version of this wonderful old song.
Yeah Scotland love your song. This the song the Scots used sing before "Auld Lang Syne" came about, got to admit I do think Auld Lang Syne is easier to sing when you are drunk but this is just as great.
The Scots have the best songs.
This song and Danny boy were played at maternal grandfather's funeral. That was 35 years ago and they still remind me of him. That was a man definitely full of blarney and the luck of the Irish.
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION EVER. ....from a professional worker bee musician.
A great Scottish song
I’m not crying you’re crying
No you
We all die. To be sent off by this song would be GREAT!
When Lockdown's over and I get to go to a pub, I want these guys having a wee sing-a-long in a corner.
from Germany i hope so
I totally agree with you
I hope to see you all good luck
I'll see you back in Scotland next year..and buy the first round ..if you just remember my name , Ferb , and I'm often in a MacTavish kilt..promise !
Time for Scotland to be free & brave again & tell the Govt to jump in the loch, the game is up.
Up until I saw this video, The High Kings performance was the gold standard for this song. But all respect to the Kings, these guys blew them out of the water. Beautiful harmonies, wonderful soloist and the video is brilliant in its simplicity.
"Brilliant in its simplicity". That, and its absolute naturalness, even the setting. Voices are all it needs.
Heck! The guy at 1:53 has the clearest, brightest voice I've ever heard! You can feel what he's singing.
T Rex Yes. And he looks just like my cousin so had to go back several times to watch it again. The spitting image of him. Spooky. My cousin can’t sing like this though. 😀
I agree. His voice is rich, smooth, clear and powerful capable of tenor notes and deep bass notes. He should be featured more often.
Idk what the guy in full white was doing it didn't look like he was doing anything but maybe Im just seeing things?
@@SirTenik I think he is doing the percussion part
@@SirTenik he's "the drummer".
This. This is how men should be together . Love it.
Goodness the Scottish know how to write a song!! And the Americans really know how to sing it!! Beautiful rendition 👍👍
These guys are Irish The High Kings
It's a beautiful Scottish song that's popular in Ireland 🇮🇪
@@conhopkins6975 Hello. The high kings are Irish. But this isn’t them. This is the Face, An acappella band from the USA
The kind of song that lowers blood pressure by 20 points in less than 3 minutes
What a lovely rendition of a beautiful old SCOTTISH folk song. Thanks for posting.
The lyrics may be Scottish, but the melody was changed by the Irish to what it currently is.
@@mickcollins1921 who wrote the irish melody
@@brucecollins4729 There was a traditional Irish parting song called Sweet Cootehill Town that has the same melody. Somewhere along the line, some Irish person took the lyrics of the Scottish parting song 'Good night and Joy be With you all,' and sung iy to Sweet Cootehill Town, which was relatively well known as a song people sung when loved ones were leaving for US.
That evolution continued as the song became known as The Parting Glass, and the original Scottish melody was largely forgotten in favor of the adopted Sweet Cootehill Town melody.
As far as who wrote the melody, I cannot find any reliable sources on writer of Sweet Cootehill Town.
@@mickcollins1921 i have also researched the tune sweet cootiehill and cannot find any evidence of who wrote it or when it was written. it,s possible sweet cootiehill came later from what i can make out. the parting glass was known as ..burns farewell in ireland.
This rendition of "The Parting Glass", is truly the best I have ever heard. These guys are the very best! One for my wake also.
I come from very heavy Irish decent. My grandmother immigrated over as a little girl. She was my best friend. She passed away when I was around 13. She sang this to me all the time. Hearing it come up now and then makes my heart do a lil flip.
my condolences
I suppose I am a "paper paddy". An American whose heritage is primarily Irish. It might be the Irish whiskey talking but this song touches a place in my soul that let's me know that I am Irish. Now some may "go historical" on me and say this song has Scottish roots. Doesn't matter, I have Scotch blood as well. Tis not that far removed from the Irish if we are telling the truth. Damn fine song and well sung at that.
when the irish get hold of a scots sang they won,t let go. i,m auld enough to remember when irish music started in the late 50s early 60s when bands like the clancies etc sprung up and adopted the scottish style and many scots and english sangs in the 60s. this sang is just one o them. your own american country music has it,s roots in scotland.
I am Australian - my father has Irish background and my mother Scottish so I claim it too! Beautiful rendition - brought tears to my eyes.
PS. I was looking for music for my funeral too. I think I have found it.
I have decided that this will be played at my funeral.
This was perfect. I lost my brother this week and I'd like to think that he's saying exactly these words with a smile on his lips and a jaunty look in his eyes, while he rises up and we do not. We will meet again, just not yet.
Damn...my condolences 😭 But what a beautiful tribute to him
renamcvicar Many Thánks for Your remark on this beauty!!
Sorry for your loss fella...
Here’s to you and your brother. My boys are missing theirs just the same. 6 years ago today 3/9/2014 ❤️🥃😢
Bless you
This is the song I want played at my funeral. I am so moved by this rendition. This is the one I hope they play!
I'm Latino, but I came across this through Spotify and thought it was great! Awesome song!
One of the most beautiful thing our race was able to achieve. To sing words, that we created, in harmony
Perfect harmonies, they do a traditional song a great justice.
You are the absolute best. Goosebumps guaranteed. Greetings from Hesse Germany
I’ve requested this song and version to be played at my funeral someday. This is the most beautiful version of Parting glass I’ve heard out of the many.
I'm definitely not crying. I'm so glad and grateful as an Irish man to hear the music being played with this convection. Raise up and joy be to you all. For all those who don't know, this song is somewhat written by the individual who passed away and written for you. Song to be played after a funeral, drink from the parting glass and last final goodbye, drink while the spirit rises to heaven. Main point is why should you be sad? Have joy, why? While the spirit gently rises, so should you rise. Until we meet again. God bless to you all from the Green Isle of Ireland.
What a gift from God to have voices like this
RIP Aaron Bushnell
You FVB guys have recreated the real atmosphere of this legendary Scottish song...it brings tears to my eyes! Thank you
Just discovered this by accident. My goodness it is amazing.
Isn't it
For those who don't know, the "percussionist" is Troy, the older guy in the white shirt. Watch his mouth, when you're allowed a glance. He is usually not singing, though his voice is fine when he does. His lips are mostly closed, except at the corners. That lovely bass does not arise from Troy's pipes, though, as I thought at first--that would be the guy to his left, Forest Kelly.
===
That aside, though: I dearly love watching the gestures and expressions of these fine gentlemen. Completely natural, every glance, gesture, and rueful smile. The best of the FVB video performances I've seen. I so dearly want to make up stories about the characters they are playing so expressively.
Definitely the white shirt, but his name is Mark Megibow. He is a first class vocal percussionist. He does a solo VP performance at their shows and his range is just astounding.
@@donnaswaffar4289 Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
My brother Tommy died on 09 . 03 . 86 and he was 25 and me 26 and I only wish for him one more day stay; hope heaven is Good to him he was a caring and giving individual. Broke my Mom's and Dad's heart and they died within 9 months in 1991. Raise your glass to your loved ones.
My bestest friend who passed away this year had this played at his funeral.
What a performance. Could not be better. And that's no exaggeration . The bass line is out of this world and exceptionally well done.
this song goes to my 2 friends who have passed away may your next journey be a good one lets fill the parting glass tonight and toast you 2 my dear old friends
It is appropriate for funerals. I don't deny you that. However, also keep in mind that this song was simply originally about someone leaving a dinner party and wanting "one more for the road," e.g., the "parting glass." To me, this translation resonates even more so with my particular heritage. I can absolutely picture my Irish ancestors concocting this elaborate song simply to obtain one more drink to carry them home! At any rate, cheers to however you interpret this song and may good joy be with you all!
So many songs are based on this Songs 'Premises'.... I ALWAYS associate this song with the parting of someone,
when either someone has Died, or when someone is 'Leaving', and we never know when we may see them again!!...
I used to play this on the Guitar
This were some of the best three minutes of my life. Like right up there. I mean I can't even put it in words
As a kid many years ago I heard this song in a pub in Scotland and even at my young age it had an unexpected impact, so a couple of months ago right before chemo and radiation were completed I did a rough outline of the stuff I wanted included in my funeral service. Thankfully I shouldn't need this for along while, but I will eventually.
I'm native American Indian and I want this to be my choon when I die
Still the best version ever! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
One of the best covers I've heard of this song so far, you deserve more attention for this
Ah, a song of great words and voices. At my demise sing me home and toast to friends.
My favorite The Parting Glass!
The Number #1 funeral song of all time. And it shall be sung at mine (you know . . . 50 years from now). ;-) Slainte!!
Ah, Mother Nature gave us the ultimate song with just our voices. Kudos, acappella ❤️
My dear friend that I was a police officer with took his life yesterday morning. This song is the only solace I can find at the moment. I hope his soul is at peace until I can see him again on the other side.
God rest their soul. The timing of your comment makes me believe it was the NYPD officer. My thoughts are with you and their family
My buddy was with Sparks PD out of Nevada
Rasing a glass to you both for your service and sorrow parting ways. 🥃
Wouldn't you just stand in snow listening to these guys, beautiful.
When I slip the surly bonds of earth, I want a proper Irish wake and this song played
Forest is my most favourite part. When he begins 😍 just makes my heart jump a little
This song is worth more than money. So I would give them free whiskey if they continue to sing for me.
Lovely, lovely performance of a beautiful song. Has anyone else noticed that these guys arrive one by one at a pub and immediately start singing good night to one another?
My great grand mother sang this song to me every night when I was little I'm proud of my Irish family
My wife’s dad passed and I’ll always be amazed at how much of an impact he’s had on me. He wasn’t even blood to me and here I am bawling my eyes out to every time I hear this song. He was a great man, great father to all his kids, and a great friend to me and many others. I’ve remembered the lyrics to this verbatim and sing it to myself in honor of him. RIP BLM love you and miss you terribly.
To make such an incredible impression on another individual the way your father in law did, shows just how incredible a man he was. It is the ultimate expression of "living forever", by being fondly remembered by the hearts and minds of those who remain. I did not know him but I have no doubt that we need more men like him in this world. To him I say, RIP sir.
Best version I think I’ve heard. One of my favorites of this genre. Sing it at my funeral.
Братья, спасибо вам!
Most beautiful version I every heard. A quartet sang this at my brother's wake.
6 months later, still crying 😂❤️
Some day, I will be able to listen to this without crying. That day is not today.
I Spent My Parting Glass In Good Company
SOOO... FILL TO ME... THE PARTING... GLAAAASS
This is what perfection sounds like: One voice, many layers. My 14-year old granddaughter learned it this weekend at choir camp. The kids sang this for the parents. I could not control the tears - they captured the beauty of the harmony, and watching my granddaughter I could see from her face and body language that she was moved by an unforgettable musical experience. .
Damn... this rendition hits me in the feels. Nicely done.
Wow great harmony, incredible bass.
Pure listening pleasure...greetings from South Africa♡
This is the root of country music in America. Add a banjo, guitar, a fiddle, and we are there.
