As an old man sometimes thinking about all the loved ones you have said goodbye to gets overwhelming. This song sums it up.

"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes..." - Edward Thatch

That pure silence while he’s singing... not just the mark of a talented artist, but a powerful choice and a connected, respective audience. Captivating all the way around

LOVE HEARING HIM DO HIS IRISH AND SO BEUTIFULLY DONE💚💚

He performed this at one of his concerts I was at and oh wow! The acoustics were just amazing, the room was silent in mesmerisation. Amazing!

We Miss You Edward Kenway The Best Character In History in AC.

for Edward Keneway

My brother sang 'The Parting Glass' at our mothers' funeral.

He had that audience from the very start of those lyrics...you could hear a pin drop amongst those people...Ed Sheeran is and always will be one of the greatest artists to bless this planet

It’s crazy how this has been viewed a million times and yet it’s only been “liked” 9.5 thousand times. This song and message is beautiful.

Beautifully sung Scottish folk song !

What was beautiful about this performance was the audience. They listened to the message being sung, and they respected and beautiful and traditional song. It's a nice change from girls screaming when they hear a high note.

Heart wrenching. Sending this home to Ireland to my Mammy who has lost too many too soon.....the last few years have been unbearable, but we who remain behind always send them a "Parting Glass". 💚

The song will always be greater than the artist . It's an Irish thing ☘️

That was one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Wow. Ed has such a fantastic voice.

A toast to our friend Bill this St Patrick's Day. May the road rise to meet you and the sun be always at your back. This one's for you. Rest in Peace.

Rest easy Big Unk. This one hurts for sure. No words to express this shit but this song comes as close as it gets. So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all.

Ed has Irish heritage. The Parting Glass is a iconic Irish song. He sang this with his beautiful voice and love.

For Steven Dunbar, my love, it breaks my heart you are gone but I raise this glass to you and for you always.

While I appreciate the harmony that many groups make this song into, I think the solo form is the best way to render it. This is a fantastic rendition, a single strong clear voice, with only sporadic/sparse accompaniment.

Absolutely beautiful, from Dublin, Ireland 💙💚❤️✊🏻

This guy respected a beautiful song of sentiment,with a beautiful voice!!

I'm so happy that this song would be a part of his album

A friend of me died way before his time, we played this at his funeral. It was pouring badly. Heaven was crying too. . . Had a shelter, and a bonfire going. A pinboard where everybody left a picture of him his for his 2 year old daughter and a 16 year old Lagavulin Whisky pass around. . . I miss you badly Jan!

Of all the money that e'er I had I've spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Of all the comrades that e'er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all

Beautifully sung and so awesome to see an audience blown away and listening. Show this to any of his doubters.

Everytime i hear this song im just shaking. Its incredible

I want this Song to be played at my Funeral❤️❤️❤️

This song speaks to my heart and blessings to Ed for bringing it ❣️.

Good to see the younger brothers engaging in history.

You got it wrong - It's a traditional Scottish song. Was the most popular song in Scotland before Robert Burns came along and wrote Auld Lang Syne. But yes, it's sung in Ireland as well.

Absolutely unreal, so well done,

This is a gorgeous piece. I sang it two years ago with my choir and it really connects with people. It reminds us why we need to keep our heads up, although the message is very much mourning all that was lost. It reminded us that we were still there, and we understood. My choir program is a family of sorts, and this rendition just made me to remember how appreciative I am

I love this. The whole concert was amazing

How little they new! This song is amazing.

Hauntingly beautiful !

I can hardly listen to this enough A thousand times!

I tear up every single time I hear this ...

wow, just wow, this guy is for real!

Love this

Can't believe I'm on my way to Manchester at 5pm tonight to meet him tomorrow, then back to glasgow to see his concert at the Hydro on Thursday! Raw talent.

Beautiful rendition. Thanks for the post.

Beautiful! ❤️

Wow, he carries that message perfectly xxxxx

I LOVE ALL ED'S VERSIONS OF THE PARTING GLASS.

The entire team at Fry's misses you Jeri lynn, We will never forget you and we miss you. Frys 474 forever.

I love you Ed Sheeran 😍

This is perfect

I have this saved in a playlist, and today, for the first time after hearing it dozens of times before, it’s emotional listen for some reason... Ed has a talent that has tentacles of its own and I doubt he even realizes it🐾🌻

that guy at 2:20 was so into it

Absolute chills.....😍

Amazing ❤❤❤🍀

Life in 3D knock this song out of the ballpark!

This man loves his Irish roots and seems to understand them......for that alone I love him.......but he's incredibly talented

Good man, Ed. You are much much more than the pop star you currently are. I look forward to you growing into a statesman of music in your hinter years.

Epic performer👍👍😟

Amazing he is..

Sweet voice ever.

So goood

Good Man in all respects.

Perfect..

just.....wow!! beautiful x

Very nice Ed

Irish man here saying that low key, it's kinda Scottish tho. But I love that the degree to which the Celtic experience is shared allows song to be shared with such ease.

wuaoo exelente tema. Vnzla

I just pure talent

I'd say it's very hard not to like Ed, I think the guy is great light it up if you agree 👍

May the light embrace you

"To say nothing is true, then why believe anything?, to say everything is permitted, then why not chase every desire?"

I ❤️ him

This is a traditional SCOTTISH ballad, before Auld Lang Syne was written it was sung at Hogmanay ( New Year ) celebrations, funerals and bittersweet partings “ Good night and joy be with you all “

Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all [Verse 2] Of all the comrades that e'er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all [Verse 3] A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all

I think my heart just stopped beating in awe.

Adorable!

2:20 the part where the guy is singing along is so emotional

The Parting Glass es una canción de amor por aquella o aquel que ha decidido partir y subir a la barca de la vidamuertevida gracias gracias gracias
