♪ MAN: "Dear Mom and Dad, It feels like a lifetime since I saw you last.

Almost two years have passed since that wild farewell back home.

I can still hear Dad singing "Danny Boy" at the top of his lungs!

I miss you folks so much and long to tell you all about my adventures face to face.

But for now, let me tell you, you were right about Ireland.

There's music everywhere here.

It's in the trees and the rivers.

In the wind and the rain.

It rolls in on Atlantic waves.

Boy, I wish you could hear it.

Wish you were here.

Isn't that what they say in postcards?

But I know we'll all be together again someday soon.

As sure as the sun rises.

Always your loving son, Sean."

The big oak where Dad proposed to you, Mom.

Right where you said it would be in the Wicklow Mountains.

It makes me smile to picture you guys sitting under it as kids.

How strange to imagine all the things that old oak must have seen.

So many lifetimes.

Yet still it stands.

It reminds me of that song you used to sing us, Mom.

We're recording "Where Sheep May Safely Graze" by Bach.

And I just don't think there could be a more perfect, uh, location for this, for this piece.

It's absolutely stunning.

You can see that there's a tree growing in the ruins here.

We don't have any roof on the abbey, and there's light coming in through the arches, it's absolutely stunning, and I used to come to Killarney on my holidays whenever I was younger, and I remember even coming here, I was here even just last year as well, I was just sitting and just thinking that there's no more beautiful place in this world.

It's so peaceful having this gorgeous tree, so I'm absolutely delighted to be here, and I think it's gonna be a special moment, in the special.

So much music and laughter.

But the one thing that's missing is having you here to share it all with.

Today, I spotted the prettiest little church by the side of a lake in County Cork.

It was no bigger than your Dad's tool shed.

The locals tell me it's a popular spot for weddings.

Just saying.

Always, Your Sean."

Kylemore Abbey has been on my bucket list of places to visit for many, many years.

And this song is incredibly special to me.

It's one of my all-time favorite songs anyway, but the last time I performed this beautiful song was at my grandmother's funeral a couple of years ago, and, um, to be able to get to sing this very special song in this very special place today...

He was playing your favorite hymn, "Amazing Grace."

I imagined the notes rising into the misty Irish sky and traveling across the sea to you.

It made me feel a little closer to you.

And the last words of that song suddenly struck me more deeply than ever before.

'And grace will lead us home.'"

Which is very exciting, I've always wanted to come visit here.

'Cause it's not too far away, really, from us, um, but I've never had the opportunity, so I'm delighted to be here, this is like the coolest place.

There's loads of stuff all over the walls.

It's brilliant here now, so this is like the session piece, we've got all the lads, it's like we're, you know, having a session at the weekend.

We've got all the real Irish instruments.

It's a real fun one.

So this is "The Banshee" and "The Calm of the Day."

So, yeah, it's cool, it starts off a little bit slow, but then things definitely get, um, a bit exciting, up the tempo, and we have some amazing dancers joining us, so it's a really upbeat number.

I'll never forget them.

But I think what I'll carry with me the most is the music.

Always the music.

See you soon.
