The Fureys- The First Leaves Of Autumn
Музыка
Irish folk band The Fureys with another of there most beautiful love songs.
Two phrases leap to mind when I listen to this song...It is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all..... and......you never realise what you have until you've lost it!

This night six years ago , 23 September, I searched my phone for a song to play to my father. It was just before midnight. I told him I'd play a song and then we'd rest. As the autumn leaves were turning and I found the Furey's "First Leaves of Autumn". I didn't know the lyrics at the time. I played the song, lay down on the fold out visitor's bed in his hospice room and fell asleep. At around 4 I am I awoke and held his hand as he breathed his last breath. I rarely listen to this beautiful song whose lyrics resonated so much with those last hours but I just had the urge to right now. R.I.P Daddy

Most people my age ,64, dont know it either. I first heard it when my mate brought his Gallagher And Lyle albums down to my mams house for us to listen to long ago.

Agreed
A beautiful ballad. I don't think anyone could sing it any better than Finbar
The most beautiful song of rememberance ever.............xxxxx
'From the making to the breaking of the day you said goodbye.' I've lived that day for 46 years in my head. Every time i hear this song it still breaks my heart. Love you Mum from now until we hopefully meet again.
This song never grows old. could listen to it 4 ever. how true the words.
Timless music never fades; finbar's autumn leaves is an evergreen song.
they don't make men like finbar anymore what a vice and what a song .
great song
I of course I love Irish songs but this one is poetry

It's a Scottish song.
Love his peculiar way of saying or singing words. My mother died 22 august. Technically in British summer. But in Irish autumn. The last conversation we had was about her favourite tree. And I did beg her I’ll admit to talk to me.
Love You Grandad. Cant believe your gone.miss you always
Reminds me of my lovely mum....she died of cancer back in 1978......far too young....xx
i love finbars voice on this ,, straight from the heart .
Another beautiful song by The Fureys which one can apply to many a situation in life. Great group of which I am very fond.

So true. For me it is an empty nester song for when your child goes off to university for the first time.
The same beautiful hit every time. God, I love the Fureys.
Class
the very best of irish music
finbar sings great here! he must go on forever! Finbar never give up this gift!
Voice of angel👍💚💚💚💚🍀😆
beautiful recording by a wonderful artist
This is a real song what an artist we are so blessed to have music like this 💚💚💚
A near perfect match of voice lyric and music !
When I took my mother home from an X-ray in the hospital she’d worked and trained in, in July 3 2013, and she looked at this beautiful shrub she’d planted and said I’ve never seen it like that so beautiful that’s before something; and then she died on 22/8, before the first leaves of autumn
Magic ❤
What a voice ! What a talent ! I'm an old man just learning of him , that's sad
GREAT VOICE
I couldn't agree more with your two phrases and this song. One of the most beautiful songs ever sung by the fureys, and at the same time one of the saddest and sensitive. Finbar's rolling deep voice gives it that special edge. Thanks for posting it.
Best Irish lovesong sang with feeling !fabulous Fureys !
Oh boy ,, music and words that touch deep in your Soul ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Thank you
Brilliant as ever Finbar, and may you keep singing and giving pleasure to your loyal fans of ballards...

Great song
Lyrics: As the daylight turns to starlight and the season turns to change, I get the same ould answers but the question still re - - mains. We shared a brief but magic song, By the first leaves of autumn, you were gone, Chorus Not until the rain has touched my face, Not until the first leaves fell from space, Not until that moment did I see, I never realised what you meant to me, From the days you filled with sunlight, To the laughter in you eyes , To the making and the breaking of the day you said goodbye, We shared a brief but magic song, By the first leaves of autumn, you were gone Not until the hearts defence is down Not until ould come-all-ye comes round , Not until that moment did I see, Never realised what you meant to me Not until the rain has touched my face, Not until the first leaves fell from space, Not until that moment did I see, Never realised what you meant to me,

Just.... Beautiful ❤
Hi TheMrMoor I'm very glad to see someone else loves the pogues! besides myself! also love the "Fureys" music! hope you have settled somewhat in the UK but always go visit your homeland whenever you can! "The Emerald Isle" is awesome regards
Great song Indeed lads
wow.
What a wonderful ans lovely song..voice..Message
What I can guarantee you, as truth from my life is this, irish men will not display verbal emotion what they can write song, poetry abut amonst us Irish women as much to show love.... but God love 'em for what they can do. Ne'er tire of it ever, give the song the love the praise til I drop from it all. Pennywhistles haunt fiddles jaunt, madolins strum and lil' banjos pick in simple chord. Take me away... I am older now, nothin' matters but his.

For Stevie. We were big fans of The Fureys and related to this song as our way of life.
i love the fureys, chas and dave, micheal buble, skibadee, shakira, lionel richie, whitney,i know its quite a big range of music but when i listen to any of them they make me happy
Sorry to hear. Its a touching song indeed.
Beautiful song
Mum I miss you so much xxx
Lovely fiddle playing on this track by John Sheahan from The Dubliners.
may your father rest in peace.
Both phrases could never be of any bloody use ever to anyone at all ever, but thanks for mentioning them, hahahaha, thanks for the laugh.
Pity people don’t realise that time is finite; that I’m gone because I can’t take it anymore.
may he rest in peace !
This was my father's funeral song in 2016 so sad 😞
I did and the sun in your eyes yes because you are always here.
