Claymore The Parting Glass, About what? (72* d) RE: The Parting Glass, About what? 16 Nov 08


Though often sung in a minor key (usually Em),the Clancys sang it in a major key in full voice, especially in the greatist movie of all time, IMHO, the "Waking of Ned Devine" as the closing piece. As joyful an ending as one could want. It's an Irish indie flick from about 1998; the endimg is clearly about life. It says as much about the Irish as "Tunes of Glory" speaks of the Scots, and "The Englishman who went up a Hill and Down a Mountain" speaks to the Welsh sensibilities. Together with "Local Hero" a fine lot of viewing.

But I digress; sorry about the thread creep ;)
