The contrast of the vapid souless media friendly musical intro to the pitch perfect emotional rendition of a remarkable song is something to behold.

@monellerichmond72089 жыл бұрын
hairoil I don't know, but you can certainly watch lips and faces! Most people who sing together without a conductor also watch each other. I'm a musician, and I was trying to say something nice, so I don't need lectures from smart alecks about how they're listening.

how hard it has to become to find a more modest rendition of this beautiful traditional song. It seems like every modern rendition must be chocked full of vocal adornments to show off the vocal prowess of the singers. why? it is a beautifully written harmony in its own right. and dont even get me started on the studio recordings being passed off as live renditions.

The barmaid part of the song...does it have a double meaning once the chorus comes up? Like normally when they say "Fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.", it is referring to their best wishes to their friends and family at the end of a meeting (or possibly bidding farewell to a dead friend at their funeral). However, when said after the barmaid portion of the song, it almost implies that they're asking their eye-catching bar maiden with whom they're about to seduce in bed to "get wet" by "filling her parting glass" as they wish a goodnight to others, for they'll be conducting the act of procreation and will get none themselves. Maybe I'm being perverted, but if there were a sexual implication to that verse, it'd be awesome.
@AlecBrady10 жыл бұрын
It's not "barmaid", it's "fair maid". "If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile, there is a fair maid in this town that surely has my heart beguiled. Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has my heart in thrall. So fill to me the parting glass; goodnight, and joy be to you all." The point of the song, surely, is that the person is dying and saying farewell to his friends, his sweethearts, his memories, and all his hopes. "But since it fell into my lot that I should rise and you should not, I'll gently rise and softly call goodnight, and joy be to you all".
