This is. A beautiful song 😘

I feel for you but don’t dwell on the opportunity that others missed. Instead, treasure this song as a special connection that just the two of you had. And whenever you hear it, feel free to unabashedly cry or rejoice - whatever you heart tells you to do.

I played this version at my dads funeral last year. He loved this song so much.

sorry for your loss, treasure your memories, you will meet again, truly a beautiful song. RIP Martin.

¡Qué hermosos sentimientos por tu abuelo! Mis respetos por los recuerdos que vas a conservar para siempre. No te aflijas. Mientras tú vivas y escuches esta, "su canciôn", su alma abrazará la tuya, y algún día él te recibirá con alegría allí donde está. Saludos desde Chile.

Keep your head up mate👍

Mein Beileid, ich liebe dieses Lied😭

Wow! I wonder what really goes through the mind of a person that lives to 100 plus. I am almost 77, my mother passed in 2020 and my father is still alive. With my health I thought I would pass away before any of my parents but it didn't work out that way.

That's lovely. I hope your granny is still singing to you!

This song is only 51 yrs old. Your grandma would have learnt it in her 50s.

Thanks Mate....we forgive, but don't forget...You're still more than welcome!

i relate. totally

Me too

I’m Welsh and need to make that distinction because of the disgusting treatment of the Irish over the centuries by our neighbours in England.. A very contemporary and pared down but oh so soulful interpretation of this song is by the wonderful young singer/songwriter Zoe Clarke and for me is the most beautiful of all. Zoe busks her own material and covers on Grafton St. and for anybody who doesn’t know her material look her up here on YT, particularly her version of this classic.

Im portuguese been here in Ireland since I was child (1999). I Love Ireland

Thanks for watching.

Sorry for your loss😢

❤

A very touching story. thank you for sharing

My condolences to you and yours, on your dad's passing. I was just thinking about my dad and this song today, as I came across your comments. My father also passed away, on October 15, 2020 and he used to play this song on the record player back in the 70', 80's and 90's, as a youngster, if you can believe it. He was a true Dubliner, if there ever was one. He and I were both born in the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin. I live in Vancouver, Canada and will make the trip back to Dublin next year to spread his and my mom's ashes in a suburb called Marino, where we lived for a short time, before emigrating to Canada in the late 60's. And yes for sure, we will see you again in Ireland. Best wishes.

I find baritone voices very easy to listen to, also. His voice has a wonderful depth to it.

Comforting, that's the word to describe this performance.

Dubliners ‘The Town That I Loved So Well’ In my memory I will always see The town that I have loved so well Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall And we laughed through the smoke and the smell Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane, Past ther gaol (jail) and down behind the fountain, Those were happy days in so many, many ways In the town I loved so well. In the early morning, the shirt factory horn Callde women from Creggan, the moor and the bog While their men on the dole played a mother's role Fed the children and then trained the dogs. And when times got tough, there was just about enough But they saw it through without complaining For deep inside was a burning pride In the town I loved so well There was music there in the Derry air Like a language that we all could understand I remember the day when I earned my first pay When I played in a small pick-up band There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth I was sad to leave it all behind me For I learned about life and I found a wife In the town I loved so well But when I returned how my eyes have burned To see how a town could be brought to its knees By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars And the gas that hangs on to every breeze Now the army's installed by the old gas yard wall And the damded barbed wire gets higher and higher With their tanks and their guns oh my God what have they done To the town I loved so well Now the music's gone but they carry on For their spirit's been bruised, never broken They will not forget but their hearts are set On tomorrow and peace once again. For what's done is done and what's won is won And what's lost is lost and gone forever I can only pray for a bright, brand new day In the town I loved so well.

Beautil song love
