Hozier - The Parting Glass (Live) 

It's a traditional song that was sung at the local pubs when it was closing time... It became a funeral song over time

I speak 6 and still couldn't

Don't care who wrote it ,Hoziers version is epic

@@pmc237you should care, because the song has a long and storied history. it was traditionally played when gatherings of friends would disperse in Scotland (it also has strong Irish influences, which is part of the reason the song has special meaning for Hozier). appreciating the roots of the song makes it that much more impactful; you can read all about its history in a condensed form on Wikipedia. his rendition is so beautiful, as is the new boygenius version, but the lyrics themselves are gorgeous too. and it’s important to acknowledge that the song has been around for at least four centuries. meaning someone else (or perhaps multiple people, possibly including Sir Alex Boswell in the 1700s) molded the song into what it is today.

Thanks for the history lesson

You mean the other commenter saying Hozier knows it's "his song"? That's not what they meant. They meant that, especially with a traditional Celtic folk song, when you really know a song in your gut and you can ornament it so effortlessly, it becomes "yours." In Irish traditional circles, you're not said to know a song, you're said to "have" it, which I believe is a holdover from how the Irish language would express that concept. So while Hozier didn't write this song, he has it - it's his. (It's mine, too, though my voice isn't as beautiful.)

girl his birthdays on the 17th....
