  • fukin beautifal : drunk indian

  • upon afterward he went with his fellow scotsmen and drank ale together under the sun

  • i dunno... if funerals are anything like weddings, my buddy's piper played for like 2 hours straight as the guests arrived. you cant stand around silently listening for longer than a song or two- it's not a front-and-center performance with seats and lights and shit.. it's just nice background noise as everyone joins together.

  • RIP Grandad. Love you to the tips of your Scottish toes. We had a piper similar to this at his funeral.

  • sonds lie macontoshes lame

  • I would be the quet one who really deeply feels this

  • omg the playing is horrible

    

  • If you listen long enough you don't hear the people talking.

  • what's the name of the song?

  • im mexican and i apreciate this music.

  • Sorry to mention this but minutes after this video was uploaded sir william mc cloud sadly passed away due to a beheading via shaving foam due to the infection on his neck, the doctor requested a chainsaw to finish off and while he was there he removed his arms and legs to be sure RIP

  • i am of mexican descent and love bagpipes..i love this music for what it represents..and the sound is AWESOME..makes me cry everytime idk how these people arent crying

  • It's supposed to be a 'sonnet' to ease the pain of a loved one, a welcome to the passing of a warrior?? so laugh, mock and jeer. it just means no one will give a damn when you pass on you bunch of ignaramouses!!! gbtq!

  • Some people have funerals to grieve. For some of us we grieve at wakes, with laughter, food, and drink to glorify somebodies life, not dwell upon their death.

  • I want ppl dancing, singing, cracking jokes at my expense and having a really great time celebrating my life. That is my wish.

    OH! and one other thing. This honorable Piper....

  • Respect for this honorable man

  • @NoviceBasser A-men

  • damn, about 20 seconds in i had to stop watching. i almost started to cry.

  • @bananakittens - ALMOST STARTED??? Wasn't even 10 seconds into the sonnet I was reaching for Kleenex.

  • This piper is a great guy, and I'm so glad that over 850,000 people have clicked on this video. Bagpipes forever!

  • what a loyal lad

  • what's the song's title?????

  • Respectful, Hand Salute to the Piper for playing at this funeral. I'd like to hope that

    the people attending this service share the same respect for the piper that just shows up, and plays a final tribute to the deceased. All the people yakking in the background don't get it... I'm proud to see that there are still a few lone Pipers sticking with tradition.. To them, Hats off... And Proud to hear them play. I wish there were more like you...

  • That's beautiful!

  • I ones saw some police officers arrest a scotsman playing amazing grace after a funeral ass they carried the cask out of the church and they gave him a noise violation disturbing the piece charges the family was very upset because the cask was a child and he was struck by a car and even though they were hispanic they requested a scots men to play at the funeral talk about being a fucken prick the cop was thumbs up if you think the cop was a prick unlike the cop I find the bagpipes very nice

  • @HewieOfHG What messed up city was this ?

  • @addcafe I am not sure but it was kind of an armpit

  • @HewieOfHG to the fuckwit officer at funeral i hoped you done what every Celt would have done and knocked him the fuck out Celts for ever and freedom to you all

  • @MyHenry22 I did not want to step out of line for I would of been sittied for interfearing with an officer and one of their favorite is asault to an officer so no dought it would of ended up like that

  • @HewieOfHG Bullshit, you're full of it.

    

  • @HewieOfHG Tosh, you need a good smack to the gob. Bloody liar.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @HewieOfHG Even though you likely typed this from your phone, use some fucking punctuation and spell the words right please.

  • @HewieOfHG i call shenanigans

  • ...the people in the background are NOT going to a funeral... do they know where they are at all?

    Laughing and carrying on-- wanna slap each and every one of them!

  • @wildblueiris I agree with you, they don't show any respect.

  • een driebubbel dik respect!

  • i wanna learn to play du bagpipes.

    (scotish axent) id look great ina kelt!

  • Funerals are there to represent your memories and honor of knowing the person that has died. There are times in the funeral where silence is needed but outside is where you can have joy and talk about the good that you had with the deceased. Celebrate the life while mourning. Beautiful song!

  • 10 mintues after this footage was taken, el bashir mc donald tripped on pavement and needed medical care. it was only hours later when doctor dearyme decided to amplitate his head before further injury ocurred. Later that day he passed away due to a having no head and his memories will be with his family RIP.

  • Funeral!? Gossip, laughter.. It sounds like a family reunion.

  • this is or way to say goodbey if you dont likr it shut up lad

  • Have you pepple no respect for the dead!!! shut up!

  • People have absolutely no respect for the dead anymore! It's pathetic.

  • Shut the fuck up douche bags

  • Is this a funeral or a family reunion. Holy Crap! Show some respect people!

  • Shortly after William Grandpa Poorkin displayed his bagpipe ability here he was unfortunately mowed down by his wife via wheelchair, his head and remains were scraped off the wheels and sewed together to be identified, friend's and family paid tribute to his funeral where many mournings were displayed, all residents who went to the funeral received a sample of shaving foam and a scottish haggis in his honor. R.I.P o pure

  • 45mins after recording this footage, Ennis Macleod shown above fell to the ground and went into cardiac arrest. he was swiftly rushed to hospital but it was too late. momments later the surgeon decided to behead him via snow plow. he will missed by his family and friends

  • 34 seconds after this video was published he slipped a disc in his spine and calappsed, shortly after he was pronounced dead at the scene

  • What people! Shut up!

  • I believe this lament is called 'coming home'. I can not believe people can be so utterly disrespectful talking over the funeral pipes.......idiots!!!

  • Does anyone know which tune this is?? This same exact song was played at my grandmothers funeral and I dont know it, anyone please???

  • @UbaWalker think the first part is -- i belong to glasgow -- its fairly rough though .. theres something else mixed in with it to .. hell im scottish and it makes no sense to me

  • bagpipes truly make a funeral better. the beautiful sound of the pipes are both sad and happy but in the end, makes it better

  • I either want this or Scotlamd the Brave at my funeral.

  • FUCK YOU ALL. that is disrespectful of you damn people to talk while this man is playing at a funeral!

  • Agreed, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

    ESPECIALLY DURING "WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILIN'!"

  • i want this to be played on my funeral

  • celtic funerals tend to celebrate a persons life rather than mourn their death so talking and having a reasonable time at a funeral isn't an insult or disrespectful. It's a different culture.

  • @MajorChaos69 your an idiot.......the celebrate AFTER the mourning process not at the burial........these people still dont deserve to be there

  • @NatureManGuy lol as if you would know anything internet warrior. You stupid neck beard.

  • @NatureManGuy You stupid neck beard

  • @MajorChaos69 you really want to argue this with me?......

  • the people laughing and talking in the background make me think of those in the U.S. that interfear with the funeraels of the fallin

  • These people must have really hated the person who died!!!!

  • thats the people fault, its nice too be baryed this way, ill like that

  • shut the fuck up u dickheads and let him play

  • All those jackasses laughing and chattering in the background. very disrespectful!

  • sundimented,I'm American and yes we can be ignorant and overbearing ,but not all of us ,I played the pipes at a funeral just yesterday

  • Hell ya what that man said

  • To everyone bitching about people talking whilst the piper is playing, as beautiful as it sounds, it is background music. The people talking are the deceaseds friends and relatives most likely and are also most likely talking about good memories of the person that died.

    How about you have some effing respect for them and their memories????

  • @sundimented please dont hate America. Not all of us drive a hummer and eat mcdonalds. Its typical here for Scottish people to have bagpipes at their funeral. Matter of fact, my grandmother who was Scottish had bagpipes at her funeral last week and the bagpiper did the same exact tune as this one.

  • Comment removed

  • All those disrespectful ass people talking,bunch of jackasses !!

  • i had a piper at my wedding last year and when i die i hope i have a piper at my funeral aswell.

  • Lots of chatter for a funeral. Bad taste. Good piper.

  • Typical ignorant Yanks, disrespecting the Scottish Bagpipe.

  • @sundimented

    The tune he's playing is turaluralura, which is an Irish song.... speaking of ignorant.

  • @rosebud1234c Celts all the same, cunt.

  • Beautiful.............

  • why are people talking while the player is playing?????

    So wrong...

    That's like honking your horn at a funeral possession.

  • why are people talking while the player is playing?????

    So wrong...

  • Hum... What is that i hear? People talking while that man plays on his bagpipe at a Funeral? Seriously shut the fuck up dumb idiots, and why did that girl laugh?!

  • isnt that the campbell clan tarten?

  • people who cant shut the fuck up at a FUNERAL really piss me off...

  • you're right tha's scandalous

  • @ericscarborough People who cut off funeral processions need killing as well

  • @ericscarborough Really because people are just supposed to stop their whole lives and weep uncontrollably.

  • @ericscarborough Some people are just disrespectful morons. Too bad they can't shut up for 5 minutes to show respect for the deceased and to hear this great music in respectful silence.

  • @ericscarborough Amen!

  • I agree, a total disrespect to the deceased, the family and the man playing in the deceased honour!!!

  • @ericscarborough Agreed show some somberness.

  • These are the same idiots that "host and coast" at Mass.

  • the bagpipes are one of the most beautiful sounds on the face of the earth anyone who disrespects them or thier origins are mindless idiots and have very little or no education whatso ever

  • Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh

    

  • The sad part and impressive part, is that, a lonely Bagpiper playing alone in some corner away from everyone, just playing. People passes by him, and just one person who really appreciates his music... I feel affected somehow by that... It's beautiful...

  • @Skillow "Oh I'm real sad about losing my father, but this guy is so great I have to go acknowledge him"

    And plus, he made many mistakes.

  • @Skillow honestly i would be crying and shaking his hand saying thank you i would notice it im not a genuin asswhole like them people OH AHHHAHAHA YEA THIS THAT AAHAHAHA talking like its a fucking party

  • @Skillow San Antonio, TX- There's a guy who has been playing pipes in the middle of the night, walking downtown for at LEAST 14 yrs. Not asking for $, not really a performer, but he's always there, even when you can't see him- you can hear him. Haunting and surreal. And just like you said- people ignore him, think he's crazy or whatever, but when you're that lone person who appreciates his gift, it seems as though it's his gift to YOU and that is def beautiful. I completely agree.

  • This bagpipe song is one of the most heartwreanching pieces I have ever heard....

  • How is it that the commentator with the most abrasive manner and most insulting language and needless expletive can ask anyone to be respectful while being disrespectful himself and yet get so many approvals to his comments?

  • Amen, quiet you disrespectful people! Just like all of you who are quiet for the organ at church playing the "Prelude" but not for the "Postlude" your organist practices these for hours, PLEASE have the courtesy to him or her and GOD to be silent?!

  • Amen

  • what if there were no military to defend us? and we were attacked? taken over and forced to change our way of life? WTF would you do AND say then? someone puts a gun to your head and tells you what to do, and you dont like it, would you want someone to come help and save you? there has been, and always will be a society of us who will stand up and say "you can sleep in peace tonight" they will also stand on that wall and take a post to protect you.

  • this is awesome :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

  • awesome

  • The fallen obviously made a wrong move in the art of survival. most of us are all trained to to manouver, unfortunately fools lack the simle principle of critical thinking. how many use it?---- the survivors!!! play your cards well and U will see many generations, period.

  • @mbuke1958 unless you get cancer..... kinda SOL there don't you think?

  • @mbuke1958 so, you're like 12, right? talking shit about people who lived their lives until death. lets put you in one of the twin towers right before the planes crashed into them. only because those people all saw the plane coming miles away and were able to get out in time. also, in case you're as retarded as you sound, i was being sarcastic, they had no idea those planes were coming, they died.

  • Please stop the argue...

    I'm Brazilian, yeah... But I've never heard something so touching and beautifull in my entire life. Have some Respect. That song pays respect for those who we NEVER will let forgoten. Miss u Grandpa...

  • the 41 people who disliked this video are really inconsiderate jerks.

  • @ajracerex You inconsiderate jerk, did you bother to stop for one second to think that that maybe bagppes are not everyone's favourite instrument?

    I like them, but people like you are as bad as those you rail about.

  • @ozzirt um wow way to call me something that i called someone else. use your own material or get off my dick. and its spelled favorite*** moron...

  • @ajracerex WRONG,... only in America is it spelt incorrectly. The Oxford English Dictionary which is the final arbiter in the english language has it spelt FAVOURITE......

    Now fcuk off before you make a public idiot of yourself again.

    Fukwit...

  • @ajracerex Yep, I don't have to put you down, you do a good enough job of that yourself. You certainly have a fixation with homos don't you? What, did you boyfriend give you a dose?

    Bye bye baby,....

  • I heard a few people laughing... at a funeral? Fuck's sake.

  • Why are people talking during the music? Really rude!!! :(

  • He was playing "Danny Boy" (?) at a SCOTTISH funeral ?

  • I didn't know John McCain was a piper.

  • I wonder...just how many cultures of the world have pipers in them, and how far did this instrument travel?

    what a sound, what a sound..... =)

  • An Irish funeral I presume ?

  • @sspunk1 Scottish. Bagpipes are scottish. /facepalm.

  • @sspunk1 Scottish. Bagpipes are scottish. /facepalm.

  • @Perilix wrong.

    bagpipes can be traced all the way back to ancient persia. the scots made them prevalant to this era....but they did not invent them, nor do they own the idea of them

  • @217RedRaider so true, i just watched a show the other day about the first ones made were made of the stomach of a sheep and some wood, with only one drone.

  • @217RedRaider It is possible that the pipes ( the chanter part ) can be traced back more than five thousand years, to the Far East - Nepal, Tibet, China etc. Even England had various forms of bagpipe inj the Middle Ages(see videos of Julian Goodacre playing them).

  • @Perilix bagpipes originate from India, we just make em sound good

  • thank you for this, regards sharyn

  • can I ask what does this mean. would like this at my funera. not planning to cark it. l if I cark it. it seems fitting not joking. my grandparents were irish catholic and danny boy was it but this seems a spriitual call to respect

  • idiots. he's not playing for the obviously badly raised people who remain. he's playing for the soul of the departed. some people have NO class, NO manners, NO idea of what they speak. dumb asses.

  • shut the hell up!

  • @jsamke He's out fricken side you idiot. It's not like the people are talking as the funeral is actually going on. It hasn't even started! Damn people are so ignorant.

  • @dexluther Very true. It even says at the top he goes inside and plays for a little bit. People are outside. It is not disrespectful to be talking. I thumbs up!

  • @dexluther Your why I hate people like you.idiot you say...Well I show respect to people..Not like you..One thing I have learned in my age is you will get yours man...And i hope to see it someday.

  • @jsamke I show respect to people as well. There's showing respect and there's being an ignorant idiot like you. The guy is outside. The people talking are maybe people walking by that have nothing to do with the funeral. Or perhaps they are talking about how they enjoy the music or they are sharing memories of the deceased individual.

    Only ignorant people like you think that just because it's a funeral means that people have to be silent the whole time.

  • *dead person wakes up, applauds the musician, and says:" now I can truly rest in peace"

  • puts a tear in me eye!

  • beautiful piece, well played. thanks for this

  • Its music you don't so much hear, as you feel. Thank you.

  • I hate when people dont show respect

  • @djnewfie1 I hate when people are ignorant and can't fucking see that he's out fucking side! Even if he was inside I don't understand what you retards find so disrespectful about fucking talking? For all you know they are sharing happy memories about the deceased person and the funeral hasn't even started yet.

    Fuck people get your heads out of your ass!

  • @dexluther Well said. I don't see why a funeral can't be a loud, happy event where we celebrate the great and kind things people have done, not just be sad about the fact that they are gone.

  • shortly after this video was uploaded to youtube, Henry ( playing bagpipes ) fell into a coma and had a massive heart attack. 20 mins later he passed away due to life support machine being switched off due to power cut in building. his soul will be missed by many o pure

  • @C1rus27 Are you serious??? Oh my God!!!

  • @C1rus27 Horse shit. All hospitals in the 1st world have basic electrical-backup by default.

  • am Scottish, please respect and respect

  • Gosh this makes me want to cry. I've always loved Bagpipes and hated how most others in my age bracket reacted to them.

  • RESPECT!

    But please can anyone give me the titles of the songs played.

    I know that on my end of days "Going Home"will lead me to a better place.

    But thisone is for my mom.

    Now just this days in her last days maybe no more than hours...

  • SHUT UP THIS IS FUKIN SAD SO SHUT UP FAGOTS

  • this reminds me of me grandpas funeral

  • wow there are some rude people at that funeral

  • @sprintspirit10

    Agreed, I hate when people do not show respect. 

  • As repetitive as this type of comment may be, I agree with the commentors that the people in the background should shut their yammering mouths because 1) Bagpipes are awesome and 2) This is a funeral and most of them sounded cheerful. Screw them.

  • Éternels puceaux !!!

  • Why the fuck are people talking?? God Damned Shit bags

  • Comment removed

  • all that have nae a silence respect tae the Pipes shud be themselves shot! I ave respect! fer each soulful note!! Alba Gu Brath!

  • after this faithful video recording of billy badwan he sadly passed away 20 minutes to the hour at 11pm last friday, the badwan family have issued a statement regarding his burial and death, after further analysis was carried out it was reported that he was run over brutally by a learner driver in bootle, it was said he didn't pass his test after teh doings and the funeral has been arranged with shaving foam in billy's one palm and a lil beheaded chicken in the other o pure

  • 12.7 seconds after this video was published on youtube general sir thomas shown here in the video calapsed and went into cardiac arrest, after 4 hours on the operation table his suffering was no more and sadly passed away. 

  • Music = SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE RESPECTFUL! SODDING BLOODY IDIOTS.

  • @TheNikkiBlack - I´m not a Scot, don´t even claim vague connections from grandauntie´s side...but I´ll kick every idiot in the wedding tackle when he doesn´t bloody shut up and shows respect.
