Ae Fond Kiss - Eddi Reader (click "more" for Lyrics)

[Dioxinpie]

Stirs the soul.

[twiggers23]

Absoloooootely beautiful.

[johnnyM809]

Burns masterpiece beautifully sung here by Eddi Reader

[bolshieagitator]

agree with williefaeayr, whit ur thae hauns a' aboot but she should stick tae pop there are so many trad singers who do burns so much better, in an independent Scotland we could legislate against people torturing Burns's works like this wumman 'B.T.W. a fine vocalist Christine Sparks does the same hand gestures when singin'Burns, ruins her act

[SluiceCrew]

@bolshieagitator Arent you the cranky so and so - Plenty room for everybody. You cant beat Robbie Burns and Eddi Reader does a great job.

[gaconnochie]

@SluiceCrew "You cant beat Robbie Burns and Eddi Reader does a great job" All down to taste of course but I agree with the other poster. I'm not keen on her versions of the Burns songs either. Way over exposed!

[bushtuker]

heart and soul poored !! thank you eddie.

[williefaeayr]

lovely version of a great song no sure about the hand actions but performed beautifully

[lombmusic07]

I prefer her recorded version, sung more simply and so she drops each words true meanings.

[kerrsteel]

One of the best voices in Scotland today, singing a song by one of the best writers.

James.

[alceurcruz]

[hippyhorses3]

keeping burns alive. My 12yr old is loving it! This can only be good! Inspiring a generation. How wonderful! Scotland so lucky to have you Eddi and were fair proud o' yi, weel done!

[XShowThemNoEmotionX]

I love this song, i have loved Robert Burns' works since i was a wee lass growing up in Dundee. Im a teenager now with a strong love for Rabbie Burns.

[hrhqueene]

I've seen her on other vids doing the hand thing. Looks like she's trying to blend Scottish song with Hawaiian dancing.

[rnr5682]

scottish song, hawaiian dance and the world's finest singer/finest song only the best for the best

[benzaitenmantoo]

It's like Scotland just came into my livingroom...Brilliant.

[tigerstyle07]

grow up,that wiz bloody guid

[benzaitenmantoo]

The very first possible concert that I can attend I will be there. Brilliant night I am sure it will be.

[GuitarBhoy76]

The folk tradition is kept alive by reinvention and should be open to interpretation. Ye cannae whack this!

[Dryfield3]

@GuitarBhoy76 not even close pal, not even on the same stage as Hayley Westenra

[ChristianBrinsxox]

What the heck is she doing with her hands!

She messes about with it too much, it should just be plain and no messing about with the length of the words... it's more beautiful that way!

[calmacleod]

Better to listen to than to watch. She is like an air hostess showing you where the exits are!

[rnr5682]

i'd like to be the pilot then

[brother1ray]

She almost single handed reintroduced Burns to a new generation, so get a Life!

I've heard her Burns collection and it's gie guid!

[wullieready]

@ChristianBrinsxox]ts away of gettihg stuck in 2 the song and getting involved . its singers thing thats what we do .and in directs the band.

[Crieftan]

Nope, she really doesn't do it for me. Never has and never will.

[bellaciuma]

intenso....e passionale..... :-)

[Nhurm]

[isabellanakahara]

This is such a beautiful song. 5 stars!

My favourite vocalist at the moment. Superb.

If you still like Eddie try Kate Rusby sometime. She also blends traditional English and Scottish folk with modern and has the voice of an angel. There's plenty here on YT. Annan Waters is one of my favourites.
