Our rendition of the traditional Scottish-Irish ballad "The Parting Glass", based on the arrangement by the Wailin' Jennys. From the spring concert "Vitae" at Kulturkirken Jakob in Oslo, April 27th 2024.
The song is often sung at the conclusion of gatherings or social events, as well as at funerals. The song is renowned for its poignant lyrics about farewell and reflection on life. It expresses gratitude for friendship, nostalgia, and bidding farewell to loved ones. The title itself refers to a final glass of beverage being shared at the farewell before parting ways.
