Ed Sheeran: The Parting Glass (Irish traditional) 

I swear his voice needs to become a candle scent

All my relatives know that I wish this version to be played at my funeral. This is my favorite.

Now THATS a man that feels music in his soul

2012: #NoGoingHome 2020: #StayAtHome

does anyone else have a feeling like ed is singing from his pure shiny soul?

the thing i love about him the most is that he is just casual. he is sitting there in his jeans, hoodie and scuffed shoes. it makes him seem more relatable.

the point is that thru Ed Sheeran the younger people are becoming familiar with the traditional Irish Music. . . thanks for doing this Ed.

This man has literally saved me from the endless nights of crying. Just listening to this makes me relax and get lost in his voice. There needs to be more artists like him. Thank you Ed, for staying true to you.

I think that his voice cracking makes it sound better actually it makes it sound more realistic and seriously tons of people can't do what he does so I think he's awsome

Best part of the perfomance 2:36

I am going to play this song every night before I go to sleep, and pretend like Ed Sheeran is singing it to me. #foreveralone

My Papa sung this to me as baby. So beautiful.

that song is sooo old..... and ed probably is one of the best at singing it in my opinion.... "goodnight and joy be with you all!"

Why didn't I find this post earlier? This is perfect. My dad (born in 1916) would have loved this. Me (born 1950) and my daughter (born 1992) have found some common ground.

2016 and can't get tired of this 🤔

It's 2017 and I'm still coming back to this cover song. Simple. Magnificent. Ed Sheeran.

Leave it up to Ed to give me instant chills

I can not fucking believe there are people criticizing this...this is literally flawless and I have never heard a voice as good as his

i'm not crying, i'm not crying, i'm not crying...

He is such a gift to this world.

Honestly everyone is freaking out about when his voice cracked but I think it's the most beautiful part of this performance

This man can sing so effortlessly. Cheers.

The first time I ever heard this song was when my family sat around and sang it at my Uncle's funeral. I was nine, but I'll never forget it. What a beautifully haunting song. Ed's voice just makes it that much sweeter.

im very appreciated to get to see him live. this man saved my life from ending and i was given the oppurtunity to thank him. best moment of my entire life. thank you ed

such an amazing young man , to sell out shows all over the world , yet sit for a small group of people and give them his genuine time. . . .awesome.. . . . .Willy

Watching this in 2017

I like his natural voice the best. He is perfection. Enough said.

He is just so beautiful.

His voice is so soothing and peaceful,I wouldn't mind a lullaby from him Every night

people need to stop bitching, he is a amazing singer unlike so many artists these days who use auto tune or lip sync, one of a kind this bloke keep it up mate!!!!

We have musicians...we have talents...and there is Ed!! I saw him live long before he got famous....unbelievable

[Verse 1] Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've 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 with you all [Verse 2] Of all the comrades that e'er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all [Verse 3] A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all

His voice is absolutely perfect.

2012 you wouldn't think he could get any better than this, but its 2017 & he did get better. He went from great to amazing.

I agree. I saw him live once. Trust me. If he's ever performing in your country, be sure to see him. It's absolutely worth your money!

beautiful voice, amazing talent ..I am very glad, we know somebody like Ed Sheeran, because he is here for us to cuddle our damaged souls .. I love you Ed ♥

I know, right?! It's as if he's still so surprised at people's joyous reactions to his undeniable talent!! It's quite beautiful!

Funny thing is... I don't even think it was a voice crack at 1:36. legit think that's the way he sings it, listen to his live version of this. It doesn't even sound bad at all

I found it… the end of +. This ghosted around in my head and I never know what it was.

i still remember talking to him about this song and how beautiful he did it in Vancouver , and talking about how it reminds me of my grandmas funeral. He looked me in the eyes and thanked me for that and told me that he wants this song performed at his funeral. He is really a beautiful person who deserves everything he gets

Omg that end literally kills me. Im crying right now.

Maggie and Beth sang this in an episode of The Walking Dead.

amazing singer god bless

i saw him live and just let me tell you guys, he puts his everything into each and every performance, whether if there's many people or not, he just is a true artist, and thats so rare now a days, seeing him live just makes you feel so calm and its an awesome experince, its totally worth every dime

just beautiful............. near tears right now .....

Even if you don't like Ed, you still like Ed.

Will always be my favorite artist

If you’re trying to find this on Spotify, it’s a hidden track at the end of ‘give me love’, skip to 5.48 on that track.

I seriously got chills the seconds he started. I am in love with you Ed!

Dear God he needs to record this. I'm crying.

coming from an Irish girl. it is a Scottish and Irish song. everyone chill.

A purely beautiful voice! I am sure all those who went out if their way to click dislike on this are volunteering their time to help their fellow man, like Ed does. Gorgeous song!

Wow he is so talented. I love hearing him sing live.

2:44 that's a sound cut through to the soul, this is a beautiful song, sung with a beautiful voice. Edit: This is cool I may have never heard this traditional Irish music had it not been for Ed Sheeran.

how 20 people can dislike this beautiful performance?, I love his voice, he is so talented!!

goosebumps long live the irish

Such a beautiful voice. Wonderful.

It's a Scottish song - the words penned by an Armstrong - Scottish Border Reiver about to be executed for the killing of a Carmichael. The song was popularly sung at the end of an evening's merriment until supplanted by Burns's 'Auld Lang Syne'

It took me a year to re-find this artist. I'm not losing you again boi

He is almost of an age to realize what this hauntingly beautiful song is actually about. Lovely rendition.

One of my favorite songs and he does it beautifully.

His voice is beautiful

I looked for this song almost everywhere omg finally!

and i mean the dude is sitting down, no, hunching over while singing this, that is even harder to do than singing good while standing, ed you are a gift

He recovered and smoothed over that crack very well haha

Voice is fantastic

WOW....what a beautiful voice, he has.....(an Irishman with soul)

I'm late to this amazing rendition ... but omg! The focus is so much on the words and not the pretentious performances that litter the internet. Well done young man.

i love this so so so much... his voice in this song is simply perfect...

Finally, someone who doesn’t need to do this song with a defined beat behind it... simply sung as if speaking a series of phrases with having its own individual pace as the phrase needs - far more in keeping with a departed soul giving one last toast to those left behind on their way o the everafter...

God bless you Ed! He's so talented..

This is very very beautiful - sparse, raw, more beautiful with just the voice. Absolutely lovely.

Oh my God he is...amazing, such a flawless voice! Such a pleasure seeing him in concert.

Beautifull! 💝💗💖

""The Parting Glass" is a Scottish and Irish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was allegedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne".[1] The song is also hugely popular in Ireland and amongst Irish communities."

So beautiful it gave me chills!
