iTunes puts out playlists by celebrities with songs the celebrity has picked as well as an explanation on why they like that particular song. This past week Steve Martin put his out and the last track on the list is THK's The Parting Glass.
About the song Martin said:
I'm a sucker for drama and this standard Irish tune, which I interpret as a funeral dirge sung by the deceased to the living, is given the royal treatment by the High Kings.
