While on a recent tour through Europe we had the chance to stop in Ireland to film this music video in the breathtaking Irish countryside. What do you think of our spin on this beloved Irish anthem? Let us know in the comments below.

My dad used to whistle and sing this when I was growing up. I sat with him and held him the night he passed. I would so very much like to hear him sing it one more time. The time we have is precious use it wisely

My grandpa was a veteran and he loved this song. It was played on the bagpipes at his funeral six months ago. Thank you for making me feel close to him again ❤️

[erinwalsh]

My grandfather was an awesome, stand up Irishman. 🍀 the night before he passed, I sat at his bed side and sang this to him, as we used to sing it together and he smiled 💔 I miss you, grandpa 💗🙏🏻🕊

[TheDharma]

In memory of our loved ones who have passed away. They are always there in our hearts.

My dad has gone.
Tomorrow his granddaughters play this song on violin at his funeral.
It makes me goosebumps.
Thanks for this great song.

My brother is a traditional Irish Folk musician. One of the things he always said about this song is that as far as any one knows, it is the only Irish tune where a father expresses his love for his son.

[lindamills]

I've been a singer for 50 years, and this song has always been my favorite.

[danbollen]

My father used to sing this to me when I was a little kid. Then when he spent his last year in a nursing home he sang that to me. I said Dad why are you singing that old song. He said, I love my kids, what can I say.

This is my omas song, she passed right after the new years last year, I was there til the end, for her and my grandpapa, my son asks me to play omas song all the time, brings tears to my eyes every time. Rip oma, we love you

These gentlemen sing the most touching and beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy" that I've ever heard.

[shivamchopra]

I am from India. Mostly unaware about the back stories and emotions that Irish people have connected to this song. But I just heard it for the first time and could not stop my tears. Such a beautiful song!

[wendycunningham]

Remembering my little brother who we lost in May. I miss him so badly. Learning this to sing for him.

[teresaproaps]

The french horn, the pipes and drums, and the perfect harmony sends the chills.

[lillyturnock]

In loving memory of Daniel Frances Price, a young love who was not mine to love, who passed from this life December 14, 2019. Thank you for the gift of friendship and for my dearest friend of my heart, your one true love... We will always remember you, Danny.

[cindyerickson]

This song brings me to tears every time I listen to it. My Dad used to sing it to me and I sill miss him terribly.

[blingting]

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

And take ye with my memory ever smiling
Untrodden path, I'll tarry by your side
And though you leave behind a silver lining
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

[jarryjayo]

My father died, three month ago. this is one of the songs I would of liked to be play at his funeral. I loved my dad and he will be missed.

[lucyinthesky]

Just stunning. My dad and I would sit on the deck in the summer overlooking the water and drink scotch and belt out this song when we were reminiscing about friends and family gone too soon. When he passed and his ashes were spread I sang it alone. I always tear up when I hear it but this rendition made me cry. Tears of grief, happiness at a memory, release from so much stress that the world is in right now from the pandemic, that America is in from D.C., from the hate that holds the country, tears of joy from the pure beauty of their voices.

Thank you for this. Tears are needed sometimes, they cleanse the soul. Put everything into perspective. Start a new day with a clean slate.

[MikaGoose]

I was NOT prepared for that harmony! My goodness the way your voices sound together is angelic!!

[HubbellNelson]

When I was 12 my father told me that he wanted this song to be played at his funeral. Although he has not passed, and hopefully has a very long life to live ahead of him, this song makes me cry every time I hear it. You guys did a great job!
