This video shows historic picture images from each of the 32 counties of Ireland taken many years ago. I have a fine song being played in the background called "The Home I left Behind" and it sang by the ever popular singer from Connemara in Co.Galway, Nan Tom Taimín. A lovely song it is and I thought it related well to the images shown in the clip to remind the people born and rared in Ireland who left home years ago for far off lands.
Hope you enjoy and all comments welcome !

Brings back memories of my dad and mom who passed on many years ago. They both came across in the early 1900's at an early age. My dad used to sing this song back when I was a child before he passed on in 1947. It always brings tears to my eyes.

I have an Irish name and Irish grandparents but I grew up in England. I have been in India in the jungle for ten years. When I listen to this song I feel like the notes travel through my ears to the ears of my late grandparents and their parents. When I hear it, I know where I came from.

I left my home at the age of 18 on the late evening of 29 April, 1958, and boarded a TWA plane for New York Airport. My first trip back was 9 years later, after I had spent 4 years in The Marine Corps.

You might want to check your picture captions, Edenderry is not in Armagh ,it is in Offaly, ie south of Dublin, Portadown is North of Dublin.

Sean a mhic, there is indeed an Edenderry in Portadown and that is a picture of it,......just over the Bann bridge, heading towards Lurgan on the left, Gilford to the right, though it looks somewhat different now...as does the picture of Hill St, Newry Co Down..........

"Why type of flute is played from 2:12 - 2:23 ? It's beautiful." to me ear, sounds like a 'pan flute' being played via MIDI soundsource. too bad she didn't have Uilleann pipes on hand.. Nice tune though slainte!
