This is the most beautiful version I have heard. Outstanding. Transcending all my anxieties about life and completing my PhD. I'm an Irishman living in England. This song is special to me and I'm certain its going to get me through a lot in life. God bless you all.

My Uncle Tommy wanted this to be the song at his funeral. He died sooner then expected. But we searched for a store that had it, and My uncle Tommy Got his wish... It is a song his mother (my grandmother) sang to her sons (she had 8)...So I had 8 uncles. All died before my grandmother. She sat there and listened to that lullaby... I think it was like soothing him to sleep again like a boy.

this was my grandfather's favourite song ever, played it in his funeral. . . . 6 yrs later I had a puppy and called him Danny Boy. . . when Danny Boy was about 3 yrs old, I took him to where my grandfather's ashes were scattered and he walked straight to the exact spot. "And i shall hear how soft you tread upon me". makes me think my grandfather's spirit lives on in my dog? ? is this possible??

The song played at my Mothers funeral. Happy St. Patricks Day mom.... I miss you so ;(

One of the most beautiful renditions of 'Danny Boy' that I've ever heard. Thank you.

This song is my emotional kryptonite. There only a few things that can make me cry. This song is one of those things. Especially when Michael Londra is singing it. His voice is perfect for bringing out the somber tone. The background music and lyrics also add to the somber tone.

We had a great tenor, who knew my Dad, sing this live at my father's funeral in 1996. I can still remember the tenor singing while crying. So was everyone in the church.

I'm not Irish, but I love this song. Thumbs up if you're not Irish but you still love this song!

missing my dad brought me here RIP .sadness in my heart till we meet againxx

Arguable the greatest song ever written.

Hi, I`m a german folker loving this song. I sang it on my father side as he layed dead in 2006, 4 years later I had to do the same for my brother. And now, after 1 and a half year, I hear the song again and tears come in my eyes...for me it`s a bridge to the persons I lost. Is it romatic? Am I a fool? You can think about me and this son whatever you want. It`s a great gift for all people with a feeling heart.

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 flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis 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 'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And 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, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

This was played at my Grandad's funeral too 😭 I miss him so much 😭💔 I miss you Grandad I love you so much!!! 😭💔

i heard this song 60 years ago .. this morning it came to my mind, no small wonder considering the beauty does not fade

My grandfather went to his grave to this song. His birthday is coming up and its been so long. Happy st. pattys day grandpa. Love you until the day i die.

My sons and daughters will one day song this at my funeral and I, I shall be listening with tears streaming down my face one last time as I bid them farewell..

i remember singing this song at my grandmas funeral she passed away in 2011 i miss her a lot

I heard this for the first time at a funeral of a close friend, last summer. It's such a beautiful song.

This is absolutely the best version of this song

My grandpa died a few weeks ago and this was his favorite song...truly beautiful....

I remember watching this video years ago, now I came across it again and it's still amazing! The most beautiful version of Danny Boy I've ever heard!!!

I've made my six children promise that they (and hopefully grandchildren) will sing this song at my funeral. It's an amazingly beautiful song about good-byes, especially good-byes that might last a long time... For all the angry people on this post, forgive each other...

Im not Irish but being as a father to a youn man can relate to the sentiment of this song. I agree with all the comments below, this is the most beautiful rendition I've ever heard of this song.

Though he was not Irish, my father Manfred Anson always loved this song. Probably because he spent a good part of his life in Australia where lived a great many of the Irish people. He was a seargeant in the Australian army and fought against the Japanese in New Guinea during WWII. And now I have a great love for this song along with all Irish music from that fine land. I love you and miss you every day dad, your devoted son, Joel

such a beautiful song .respect to Ireland from Serbia.Find on net "Orthodox Celts.That is band from Belgrade who play Irish music.Just listen "Far away" from Otrhodox Celts

The lyrics made me cry once I heard them

this was my grandads favourite song...he was singing it days before he passed away....beautiful xx

I had this song at my dad funeral yesterday it's the song we listened to in the car on our road trips RIP Dad xxxxxxx

my admiration to irish nation. ------from China.

Now I give this song to my 36 year old Turtle who passed today, so they share peace together. Uncle Tommy, please take care of him ok?

I've been listening to. Danny Boy my entire life and I'm pushin 70 this is the most heartfelt rendition I have ever heard. I'm leaving for Ireland is 6 weeks and I know when I get there what I want to hear this Van Morrison. Rans good

My cousin Danny brought me here. Danny lives whenever I hear this song.

Whenever I feel gloomy and just want to have a good cry, I put this song on and I let my eyes pour. It's relieving and soothing. This is damn beautiful.

My favorite version of Danny Boy

My great uncle recently died, and he was born in Ireland. He was like a grandfather to me because I never got to meet my actual grandfather. My younger sister and I got the honor of singing this song at the funeral. He was born in Ireland and he'd always sing this song to my sister and I before we would go to sleep at night. I

I lost my friend, Danny on Sunday. He had this as his ring tone....Oh God I miss you

One of the great song ever written

look, just to stop people saying the same thing. the song was written by an English guy but was made for the Irish...okay, we all good? then can i actually read some comments rather than people saying who wrote it or who it was made for. no one cares. its an amazing song, the song and the meaning is all that matters.

fantastic ireland, beutiful land, beautiful people....from an italian

My gran's birthday is today. This was her favourite song. RIP Gran

My dad listen to this on the way to his dads funeral and my birth and then desired to name me after his dad and the song. I'm Danny

That's why God loves the Irish. Faith, he loves the dear old sod Second only to his God, And he prays someday her freedom she will gain. Ready with his wit and blarney, Whether from Cork or Killarney, To bring back the sunshine after rain. And since he's been created, it's a fact well known, He's fought for ev'ry other nation and his own.

My dad used to sing this to me when I was a kid (my name's Daniel as it happens) and it still makes me sad and happy every time I hear it.

My little cousin (12 years old at the time) sang this song at my grandads funeral, still play this song at least 3-4 times a week

The most beautiful country on Earth I just wish it was united

Beautiful English lyrics and Irish [Londonderry Air] music...... I bet you didn't know that!!!!

Listening from Louisiana, USA ... This is one of the most beautiful versions of the song i've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

3days from now will mark the 6th month anniversary of my fathers passing.3years ago he showed me Danny Boy,and gave me an appreciation for this song. At the time I was only 13, still pretty sheltered, so I had no idea why he showed me this. In the past 3 1/2years I've grown a lot.I see now that he showed me this song so I would have something that really reminded me of him. like a note, and this song is just that.I'm now taking this song to solo contest in a choir contest just for him :)

This is our anthem- The Londonderry Air- in the North. Proud Ulsterman; Proud Irishman. Greetings from County Antrim, Ireland! 26+6=1 !

I sang this in The Lego Movie!

i just cried at this because in a year i will be leaving my family and friends to come to ireland (which i love because of my irish grandmother) and i'm going to miss them so much. i wish that my mother could come with me.

They played this at your funeral Oscar Morris, so I play this and think of you. Miss you loads, will never forget you X

I have a twin brother called Danny and when my mum would put us to bed she would sing Danny boy. I would be so jelous.

This should be our new National anthem!

..my mother passed away a few years ago on xmas day nite,,,being irish we have a younger brother named Danny,,so they played this at her funeral,,,u never know the true meaning of this song ,,until u hear it in church,,ERIN GO BRAGH god bless ireland

this song reminds me of my husband who died of lung cancer in 2008, i miss u so much my darling husbandand i know u are no longer in pain and u are with the anagals and we will meet again lots of love from ur wife clare weaver xxxxxx

my dad gave me a music box of this song before he left.

I think that sometimes it sound like "you raise me up".

Big love from serbia, I love the Irish people!! God bless Ireland

This was my Grandfather's favorite song and my cousin sang it at his funeral, its a really good song

Being Irish brought me here

Love this song, and this song has nothing to do with leaving or stayin in with Brits, but I would stay, and it's Derry not londonderry

Rest In Peace Helena my fav Irish lady from Ballyporeen u loved this song ❤️Irene

Oh Mummy, I miss you sooo much. This is the first song in my memory - your favourite. I miss your hugs and your beautiful, melodic soprano voice. R.I.P

Mike From Breaking Bad Brought Me Here

Anyone come from Futurama?

I can totally understand you, it's already touching when you just listen to it without it being played on a funeral. Stay strong my friend!

So sad you never get over that. Every holiday every big event like graduation, Marriage, birth of a Grandchild he will never see. It is bitter sweet.

Packie from GTA IV bring me to here

Written by an Englishmen set to a traditional Irish tune, could look it up on google takes like 5s

My Grandpa would play this song over and over again in the car, in every different version. He passed away yesterday. Be at peace Grandpa. A great man. A great life. You will be missed xxx

was actually named after this song as it was my grandads favourite song. 14 years since he died and this songs still gets me upset

Came here from Gravity falls, so sorry

Written by an Engli.......we know. Give it a rest. It's not the third secret of Fatima. Nobody cares.

Sad to say every time I hear this song, it reminds me of my cousin Danny who passed away too young.

This is the best song in the world. Our orchestra is learning this for our spring concert.

Written by an Englishman.

for my gran that used to sing this to me n my name is daniel and she called me danny boy its coming to christmas and i miss u soooooooooooooooooooooooo much i would give everything to spend one day with you as u were the best person i ever met and i hate cancer and i hope we find a cure at 98 you should not have died of such a horrrible sickness i miss u sooooooooooo

After my great grandfather died several years ago, my great grandmother had the lyrics of this song written down on a small piece of paper. She always held onto it and constantly read it to tears. She is now in the hospital and won't last the week. She asked this song to be played at her funeral. She's been living a wonderful 97 years and has touched countless people's lives. She will be back with her husband soon and for that, I am happy for her.

Great song and well sung. A memorial to all Mums and Dads who, through no fault od their own have been left alone.

I came to this site while watching "Thank You, Mr. Hodges!" A WW2 POW apparently sang this song at night in the prison camp when it got very quiet! I have tears streaming down my face right now after listening to this! ...and peace to you and yours Roxanne Santori. There are still good people in this world! Thanks for sharing.

I got this song in my MP3 , given by my son. beautiful song and Ireland as well. cheers !!!

this was my Nan's favourite song everytime i listen to it i get a tear in my eye, i love this song because it reminds me of her

this tugs at my heart strings hence playing it on you tube, remeinds me of my grandad danny, my uncle danny, my brother danny, my nephew little danny and his son daniel.x

Exactly the same as my granddad who died a few months ago and when I hear this all I can think of is him as it was also the song played at his funeral. I'm sorry to hear about your loss but just remember they will always be with us and watching over us.

its crazy 3 weeks ago i neaver know this song but after my grandfather died on the 25 of june and we played this song at his funeral because he loved this song what a great song thanks alot michael londra miss u alot grandpop

This song is so beautiful. I have difficulty listening to it without my eyes filling with tears.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It saddens me to see people copying the sound of this music and getting fame than it's origin...

I love Ireland.... What a beautiful song, country, and people

There are many signs that adulthood has arrived. One, is the day you hear this song and it goes from just another tune from childhood to something that hits you right between the eyes and you suddenly understand why it made all the grown-ups cry, way back when. If there is a more beautiful, poignant song about love, loss and being human, I don't know it.

This is the most beautiful song of all time. Rest in peace Thomas E. McParland. I was a pole-bearer at his funeral. There was a piper there, playing this song beautifully. I cried so hard. He had Parkinson's and died with his wife in his hands. Now whenever I hear this i burst into tears.

this song played for his father the night he was born,my Danny boy departed this life,at age 29,the bagpiper played it as he was lowered into the ground,next to his grandmother.OH DANNY BOY HOW I MISS YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine told me that her nephew really likes this song. That kid has a taste in music.
