I don’t know if this has been posted yet, but no thread on songs of Life and Death would be complete without a version of Danny Boy. I have always heard it as a Father speaking to his Son going off to war.

This is one of my favorite versions:

You are correct.

that pipes are calling, from glen to glen and every mountainside

is a reference to the use of an Irish pipe as a method of calling out to young men to come to join the army. Supposedly, if you heard the pipes you were obligated to join up
