rest in peace man, hope youre doing better ❤

I feel this comment on a spiritual level

+Nikau Wineera At least it ain't Tristan and Isolde dragging it for 4 hours till the end ahaha

He resolves it at 0:50.

Same in the outro with the piano. Sticking to the dominant and floating around with a tonic melody until he goes down a fifth and resolves so lovely

I don’t know what you’re talking about because the tonic (F Major) is being sustained from the very beginning. He plays different chords with F Maj in the background and then resolves back to F Maj at 00:50

+Allan Pelosi Wow! I know EXACTLY how you were feeling. That moment when you find the song you've been looking after... it's indescribable. I was on the search for a song for over a year.

+Allan Pelosi This is the first artist I have ever heard on radio and gone and looked him up!! (as in found the songlist from the radio playlist, so happy I did, he's the next Prince/ harry connick jnr in my opinion!)

+Allan Pelosi Had you not heard of Danny Boy before?

Nah, can't say I've ever actively listened to Danny Boy by choice before so I had no idea.

Allan Pelosi Huh. Interesting! I meant no disrespect, it's just one of those songs I assumed everyone had come in contact with at some point. It's really old.

After reading, i played and waited. And what you described, I felt.

I feel like there are things going on in this guy's brain that even he can't quantify. He rationalizes all he can, but also trusts his inner intuition to take him to the promiseland.

don't say stuff like that

it's not true and you need to just trust your inner self and think out side the box

it's more about how you think about music than it is about skill

and when I say how you think about music I don't mean the technical side but the more abstract and "philosophical" side of music

Holy wow, that’s awesome and crazy.

That was deep man haha

You obviously do not listen to a lot of music ....

I have listened to tons of music of all sorts, and I totally agree

@@rugueuxbysurson3118 first off thats a really douchy statement because music taste is a very personal thing, and second off, this piece of music is incredibly advanced from a completely objective standpoint. i dont see your point.

@@rugueuxbysurson3118 don't be an idiot

@@rugueuxbysurson3118 I've listened to a lot of music. I've studied classical music at Uni. I've played musical instruments my entire life. I come from a very musical family. And I can also say that without a doubt, this is genuinely one if the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. So fuck off.

Amen to everything you said. I am completely enthralled and drowning in his music.

Still so true. Just happening again. 🎇

"Listen" to one of the greatest muscians alive today.

It's even more true now that he's released a lot more music. I always get the question: what kind of music does he make? I can never give them an answer, and I always just show them bits of different songs of his, to show how he isn't limited by any genres or labels.

Jan Huydts Humble reference to our great son 😉

What version do you recomend of Mná h-Éireann?? Thank you Redbranch

Collier says he was exposed to a lot of Tallis, Byrd etc. growing up and I think this definitely comes through in his work.

I think it also resonates with Vaughan Williams, whom I love. (Especially his fantasia on the theme by Thomas Tallis.)

Helmi Korhonen perfect description

Love your comments on JC, just sayin.

Is this a compliment or a critique?

Maximillion P . L . H Pretty Sure its a compliment

h o n e s t l y

Agree, You can’t help but be sucked in to this and completely abandoning the work.

lol I know. all those chords. I melt

+Patrick James Staples I think its something along the lines of a C#maj7(#11) voiced as: C# G# C F G C From low to high.

+Patrick James Staples I think it's C/Bb...Am7 ,, Db7maj ...Dm7

+tamas szasz Dbmaj7 b5

+Patrick James Staples ikrrrrr replayed it too many times

Bouncybon nothing to add 🌊

Hey just an FYI, using big words that no one really uses anymore doesn’t make you sound smart, it just makes it sound like you’re trying way too hard to sound smart, having the opposite effect than what was intended

​@@playthemstrings1those words are still used to this day... just because you have a limited lexicon doesn't mean the greater populace does as well.

⁠@@krakenzilla.populace 😂😂😂

@@chad7928 proletariat 🤓🤓🤓

I agree! 2:09 that chord is just magical

The DANNY BOY story: In 2001, the writer Malachy McCourt tried to unravel the mystery of this most popular Irish song in his book "Danny Boy: The Legend of a Beloved Irish Ballad." Not only are the lyrics not Irish, they were not even written by an Irishman. "Danny Boy" was written by a British lawyer. According to McCourt, the story of "Danny Boy" has its roots in the terrible siege of Derry in 1690. He claims that "Danny Boy" is not even an original song but just one version among hundreds of different lyrics set to the tune of the "Derry (or Londonderry) Air." The original air is believed by some to date back to Rory Dall O'Cahan, an Irish harpist who lived in Scotland in the late 17th century, while the lyrics were written by Frederick Edward Weatherly, a British barrister and prolific songwriter. Weatherly wrote the words for a different tune in 1910 but in 1913, his sister sent him the tune of the "Derry Air." He adapted the lyrics to the tune and it was an instant success. Weatherly gave the song to the English opera singer Elsie Griffin, who introduced it to a wider audience. The first recording was made in 1915 by the German singer, Ernestine Schumann-Heink. So who is Danny? Why are the pipes calling? As for the meaning of the lyrics, some say it’s the call of parents, begging their son to come home before they die, or sending a message to a son at war.

For some reason, KZfaq refuses to allow me to post the whole story here. What's THAT about?

Bouncybon Love your dedication 😉

Bouncybon crowning it all with that little cristalline arpeggio at the end 😉

right?

It's jazz

Well, it's life, and it's love.

@@achenarmyst2884 yes it is !

i'll rather look pathetic while listening to him

Stop comparing yourself. Go play music and practice. Be on your own path.

There is enough room in the world for more than one musician.

He's a year older than I am and he has more grammies than I have songs I know how to fully play on Piano without sounding like a little kid practicing basic chords.

@@ophello is there tho
