[ayetherock2010]

this song is pure magic. Brings me chills everytime i hear it. Sunshine on lieth was the first cassette i ever bought. That was over twenty years ago and i am still not sick of this song. Also from a gers fan. This tune really is Simply the best

[perger1973]

oi! as long as they dont sell out, fav hands down....of course I live in the country and they might have by this post, but ya sorry

[chevimpala68]

i bought the sunshine on lieth album in about 1989 when the 500 miles song was a hit here in Australia and even thought back then that this was the best song on the album (along with "cap in hand")

[PIlotrcm]

This is kinda a sad sappy drinking song

[2LEGIT2TRY]

I love the Proclaimers. This song just sucks sorry. Depressing and hard on the ears. Course if your only other choice is to listen to bagpipes.

[dubbyboy]

@2LEGIT2TRY Philistine

[jemzan21]

@2LEGIT2TRY blow me ya fud

HULLO HULLO!!

[BlueSilverStars]

I have goosebumps right now. This is fucking gorgeous

[ringafiar]

One of the best drunken love songs ever!

[glock496]

Great melody and song, I played for Edina Hibs in 1976, but being a Celt, this is the only thing to come out Easter Rd................ na just kidding, both are very close to an Embra boy who has been away for very long time.

[5kegne55]

Great song, I'm glad the guys are getting more air time on the radio.

Well under-rated imo

[gamlaE1]

[PaintMartin09]

The song is wonderful****

[lewis450]

Haven't heard this song for years,always makes me cry,a beautiful song.

[bealzaboob]

love this

[pjgumby]

Good lads.

[sneachta12]

I'm Irish and this is a fucking great song, wherever you are. As William Wallace would have said 'Unite the clans'. The Scots are a great race - they just don't know it. I have seen the view from the top of the Wallace Monument - unbelievable country. You have more culture, humour and heritage than the English will ever have. Check out Damian Dempsey on Youtube boys! We sing all our cares away!

[albahfc1875]

Fuck you yam scum

GGTTH

[rosscol106]

hibs bum boys.

[TtotheD26]

[gpzDave]

@TtotheD26 no their not

[preciousmystery]

@TtotheD26 Obviously you dont know much about music then???

[missfying]

@TtotheD26 Really? "Letter from America" and '500 miles', makes 2 doesn't it. And then there's 'I'm on my way', from the Shreck movie. Seems to me you can't count.

[WEEJIMMYBOY]

Great song, The twins are the most ignorant people i have came across. Was sat beside one of them at an event and i explained that i loved there song and he got up and walked away. Just lost a fan and i vowed i would never buy another record and it seems i am not the only that has been treatedthis way! Sad!

[eddypfunk]

@WEEJIMMYBOY were ye pished?

[scawsknifer]

@WEEJIMMYBOY i have met them 4 times and every time i have been pissed up. each time they were more than happy to pose for photos and sign c.ds etc.

[swingersonian]

I'm drunk, so this is appropriate. And a great song.

[ixyplixy]

In memory of Peter Smith - "the Jannie" there was no bigger supporter!

[smokinggunnr]

The Proclaimers are truly an amazing Scottish treasure. Makes me proud of my Scottish heritage-WHAT A SAD AND BEAUTIFUL SONG-ONLY THE SCOTS!

[ROBERTSONSINOZ]

Greatest modern day patriots and songwriters Scotland have ever produced. Seen them with the B-52's earleir this year when they were support......you have to be joking they are headliners wherever they are. Mon the Hibees(A Gers fan)

[gark75]

im irish and a celtic fan but this is pure quality, go on the hibees

[LittleMissMaureen]

In Memory of my uncle Eric, who suddenly passed away last year.

He was the biggest Hibs fan I ever knew.

Xxx

[sregnar21]

[GMcC1875]

East Stand Singalong

[shieldsyx]

[kon65cake]

[ScotsLyon]

@kon65cake

a scots worst enemy is another scot

[frasercrawford100]

I am actually a Rangers fan so yo can all set about me now. However I think that this is a brilliant Hibs song. So do your worst.

[Flacoyo58]

Hey, are they twins_ and why they stopped singing!

[frigate100]

In Australia now, but went to Trinity Academy b4 I moved to Aus. Leith was brilliant. Love this song........ Good on ya guys x

[GaelicGuitarist]

well the proclaimers care about the politics, :P

[MajicTV]

Majic.

[ChrisOrange1]

why all of the politics shit, good lads, good harmony, great song, nuff said

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Does anyone give a toss about the music?

[shanie670]

at the end of the day,its just the harmonies and good music they keep creating,politcs is 4 people in shirts and ties,+dodgey expences lol

[boogieeck]

I was at school with them. God, we are in our mid forties. Great song. But while the Chief puts Sunshine of Leith, we will remain British citizens.

Just so you know.

[godstargodstar]

You are a misguided man, how can you accept to be lead by the English who have done nothing but make Scotland , and the Scots economy a wasteland, If any other country had the mineral wealth of scotland their standard of living would be enormous. long live the most inequal of all marraiges!!!

[boogieeck]

Aberdeen  is not a wasteland our economy is booming. The bit that votes Labour is a wasteland because they think that economic prosperity can be driven by the taxpayer. We went into the Uniuon bankrupt and Glasgow became the second city of the Empire. In the last 40 years our oil has made us net contributers, which is fine and when it is gone we will be net beneficiaries which is fine too. Thats how marriage works. You put in what you can and get out what the union produces.

[godstargodstar]

Do you think so England will drop you like the leaches you will become.

[godstargodstar]

When the oil runs out.

[loufrank]

grow up please there is a lot worse than england or scotland

[KardKaper]

We're not lead by the English - we're a democracy. Just cause the parliament is in England doesn't mean the English tell us what to do. We've have two consecutive Scottish prime ministers ffs.

[godstargodstar]

In the British parliament you have 80% of the seats occupied by English MPs , the Scottish Secetary was and is still appointed by the PM, not by universal suffrage of the Scots. Glasgow has the lowest life expectancy of "any" City in Europe, You have consisitently the highest unemployment rate in the UK, For over 80 years you have voted Labour only to have been run by a tory England. Blair wasn't Scots.

[KardKaper]

Tony Blair was born in Edinburgh. And how many seats are filled by Scots sit in the Scottish parliment i wonder. Oh that's right, all of them. We don't get run by anyone other than ourselves, that's the meaning of democracy. How then does England rule Scotland? The Scottish people rule Scotland. Just because Barrack Obama comes from Hawaii, doesn't meen the "Hawaii'eesh"(meh) people rule America.

[godstargodstar]

You know as well as I do that for the moment the Scottish parliament has a very restricted role and policy making powers. You can't claim to be independant, you are still governed by the UK Parliament and the truth is that it is mostly made up by English MPs.

[godstargodstar]

To be pendantic The Scots don't "RULE" Scotland that is the role of the Sovereign, the Queen, at most you can govern.

[godstargodstar]

So it is completely the fault of your current assmebly memebers that Scotland has the lowest life expectancy in EU, that you have the highest divorce rate,in glasgow the highest child poverty rates in the whole of the EU (including eastern states), Largest benefit take up in UK, These are long term issues that don't stem from the Scots parliament but are the results of years of neglect and under investment that continues today. The UK parliament sets the Scottish budget and has made cuts again!

[godstargodstar]

Scotland has great natural resources and any country that has 6 million population with the oIl that Scotland had would never have the social problems and under funding that you have in Scotland. The UK government purposely blocked EU grants to the poorer areas of Scotland because it didn't want the truth of underfunding to become an EU issue. The level of Grants that Scotland would recieve as an independant country would out strip much of the money now going to the eastern bloc

[KardKaper]

Alright, they're fair enough points. You win. As soon as i can im voting for independence. I think it's another 100 years i have to wait though? lol. Time for open rebellion!

[godstargodstar]

You name the time and Place I'll be there holding the standard. Cheers

[MONTHEJAGS1971]

well said

[eksteelman]

aye right enough -democracy ! superb !

[kdl220483]

I really do love the proclaimers - their music brings a tear to my eye as it reminds me of some amazing memories at Hampden and makes me realise how much I love my country........Scotland.
