boygenius is paying tribute to Sinéad O'Connor.

On Friday, the trio featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker released a cover of “The Parting Glass,” a traditional Irish and Scottish song made popular by the late Irish star. All proceeds from the release will be donated to the Aisling Project, a nonprofit committed to providing after-school intervention to youth in need in the Dublin area.

The “Not Strong Enough” band also teamed up with the Irish duo Ye Vagabonds for the cover. Together, they create a beguiling, heartwarming indie-folk cover to honor the singer-songwriter who died at age 56 in July.

Slowed down from O’Connor’s rendition lush with Celtic-sounding instrumentation, the cover is full of muted strings and gentle yet stunning vocal performances. Each member of the Grammy-nominated trio gets a moment to shine, while their Irish guests support them in harmonies.

“So fill to me the parting glass / And drink a health whate'er befalls / Then gently rise and softly call / Good night and joy be to you all,” the group repeats, as if sharing a sweet send-off to the “Nothing Compares 2 U” artist.

The indie group posted to Instagram to announce the release, sharing the cover art featuring a smiling photo of O’Connor and opening up in the caption about the project.

After teasing the release, she also dedicated the song to her father, who died earlier this year and with whom she had a complicated relationship. “For Sinéad, and my dad,” the “Motion Sickness” singer wrote.
