I don't know why but Harry Connick Jr's version of Danny boy always makes me think of ME. It has a very Hobbit-like essence. Especially the beginning where it says "From glen to glen and down the mountainside..." it makes me think of the Shire. Like the part where Bilbo talks about "the woods...the fields...the little rivers.." I think of the same things when I listen to the song.
