Shaun Davey's Fill to me the Parting Glass, Derry 2013 

May our glasses be ever full, may there always be a roof over our heads and may we be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows we’re dead.

For me, this (with the original Ned Devine soundtrack) is the definitive version of this beautiful and cheeky farewell song. We played it as my husband's coffin was carried out of the church, and it lifted me to sing along. Thank you Shaun for this gift of tune, Liam for his voice, and everyone else involved 🙏

Holy Moly ! Full orchestra, including a bagpipe section and a huge choir, with Shaun Davey singing The Parting Glass sure was stunning!

Ah Christ, this is just perfectly beautiful.

I want this to be the last song that is played when I am present. ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Straight to song pattern and style imprinted in my heart and nervous system. Could the Irish diaspora have left a such a trail ?

It's tunes as these that beckon now my Celtic soul to walk down heathered paths to find some quiet place of dearest friends and true, themselves in search of comfort from the gathering cold.

An enduringly beautiful and poignant song for the ages.

Majestic! Absolutely my favorite rendering of this wonderful ballad. What a loving way to say "goodbye" to our friends. 🤗❤️🎶🙏

goose bumps listening to this beautiful ballad , Shaun excellent

This grabs the heart and doesn’t let go.

Not bad for a song that has stood the test of time 400 years

I heard this version on the film Waking Ned tonight. I think I’ve just picked a funeral song for myself. Not being morbid but it’s such a beautiful song and a perfect one for saying goodbye to loved ones and friends. Thanks for sharing. ♥️🙏🏻🌹

After I saw Waking Ned Devine, and the Tullamore Dew commercial, this is definitely the tune I want played at my funeral.....and a toast with Irish Mist would be in order too!

Still in 2021 is one of my fav song....love Shaun performance....

What a song, has sooo many great feelings and sad to. Instruments and voices come together to make an anthem to be proud of. This should be the final song of any gathering and celebration. Just briiliant

beautiful music as always from Shawn Davy.if we ever re write our boring irish national anthem it should be written by Shawn Davy

God Bless Ireland. God BLess Derry♥ All my love and my arms around ya.

UK City of Culture 2013. What a lovely piece of orchestration. Tastefully treated. To Ned

Beautiful!! I first heard this poignant song in the movie "Waking Ned Devine"! Thank you for sharing! It's delightful to see it performed live!

To Ned Devine!

Beautiful. And no talking in the quiet parts and no cell phone screens.

my fav song this song changed me

Magnificent performance in a great city.

The song is from 1770 and first appeard in a song book called Scots Songs

Davey's version was a beautiful "modernized" version without killing the traditional sound. I love both versions, but this is much more emotionally charged. The Uilleann pipes might be the punch in my heart. I played my interpretation of it on wooden recorder for my grandmother's funeral (tied in with Amazing Grace). I cried through it. If I ever got back into performing music, this is one I'd want to do, but at the same time don't thing I could handle it.

What an inspirational piece,really need it now.

Goosebumps!!

I told my wife I want her to play this at my funeral. Then, she can dump my ashes out the car window like a dirty ashtray!

Quando escutei essa canção pela primeira vez, nunca mais esqueci.

Beautiful!!! I love it!!!!

...so schön und auch so schön gesungen...

This rules. Davey rules. Ned Devine rules. Carry on

Thank fuck we are still here.

Beautiful on every level

One of my favourites. Thanks for posting it.

God bless. What an exit that would be!

Musical perfection.

Beautiful !!!

Shaun Davey has set to a new tune - though very similar to the older one - both lovely

Perfect

The bagpipe players played this at my cousin’s funeral and I fucking lost it

Bravo!!!!

Amazing

Wonderful rendition and I have listened to this so many times -- over and over. I just wish whoever compiled this had gotten the choral video in synch with the audio. (Some of it is a bit off, but the choral is nowhere near close in the early parts of this.)

Elegiac, lyrical, and lovely.

Thrilling!

Good for Ireland, North, South, East and West.

The Parting Glass es demasiado más antigua que 1998 y ya es una canción y melodía tradicionales del mundo celta y sobre todo del Erin y desde luego no es una mera cancioncilla de funerales//expresa la amistad o sea el amor compartido como camaradería cuando uno o una de los amigos amigas ha de partir lejos a otros mares o tierras o a los senderos de eternidad siendo esta melodía canción una fiel expresión de la confianza sin fin en la vida que hay aun en toda muerte y esto es lo propio de todo y para todo celta//en buen castellano se diría que esta canción trata de la copa del estribo//Shaun Davey es un investigador de Irlanda del Norte en específico de Belfast que rescata esta canción-melodía del olvido y creemos que en realidad es anónima algo semejante y distinto al Mull de Kintyre que Paul McCartney le agrega una letra de su autoría a la melodía antigua y anónima del Mull de Kintyre//gracias

Love it!

Love this! Thanks, Shaun 💙

Fantastic🎈

Thank you. Beautiful!

A beautiful version -- and conducted by Gearoid Grant, no less.

The Scots and the Irish. What's between us? Hell, you could swim it if you were so inclined.

marvellous

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 Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: David Downes / Trad The Parting Glass lyrics © Wb Music Corp., David Platz Music, Arvee Music, Liffey Music, Wb Music Corp, Embassy Music Publishing Pty Ltd

So there's a piper on stage (Uilleann, *not* bagpipes), and we get the intro from Kenny G lol. Still, quite nice.

Liam O`Flynn, I miss you

May I know the name of the singer? Wonderful concert it is in deed

Come on, this wasn't composed by Shaun, why say that?, its his version to a very ancient beautiful song of Scottish origin, probably. These tunes have wandered the Celtic paths for centuries.

I think that the uilleann piper playing is the Great Liam Og O'Flynn is it possible?

RIP Liam

Nice

Cancer returned let us 🙏

That's a great piece. Who are the performers?

would anyone have the lyrics of this song ? Thanks !

2:25

Sláinte!

Sorry, who is the man that sings? I'm sure I have already seen him

I'm unclear on why we have someone badly miming the soprano sax while the oboe solo is going on ...

H.

| prefer simpler versions.

Why has Liam O Maonlai voice been overdubbed to someone else? DISGRACEFUL check him out the proper version on The Waking Ned film... How has no one mentioned this before?
