  • superlative song

  • Any other drum corps folks listening?

  • One of the greatest Bands ever. Can't believe they're just a cult following here in the US. It ain't right.

  • this is awesome!

  • lol can you put up fishermans lament LOVE THAT SONG

  • GBS are OK, but they are not a patch on Runrig.

    I do also wish that they would learn to pronounce the word "loch". They sound like English people when they say it as "lock".

  • @thegoatboy69 how dare you great big sea is the greatest band ever to come from canada i dont care who runrig is they dont come clo to GBS i think you should rethink your answer

  • @gegot1 You don't know who Runrig are?

    So funny. They are who actually wrote this song, though GBS had to alter it as most Canadians wouldn't know what a "caman" is. The song is originally called, "Pride of the Summer". The big clue to that would be in the suggestions to the right of this video.

    Runrig are a celtic rock band, singing in both Scots-english and Scots-Gaelic.

  • @thegoatboy69 NOPE and i don't want to im a true blooded canadian and i love great big sea im sorry i came off strongly at first i listened to runrig their ok but we can like different bands my bad but really listen to GBS live you might like them better! :)

  • @gegot1 I love you. I completely agree with everything that you said the thegoatboy69. GBS FTW

  • I'm born and raised in the Maritimes. I've only seen GBS in the US.. go figure! LOL

  • i miss it down home so much, great big sea is one of the best things to come out of newfoundland EVER!!! that have never embarrased newfoundland, they have shown honor and respect to all of the world.

  • GBS & RUNRIG ARE GREAT FOLK BANDS

  • i love this song it is awesome

  • I just saw them in concert for the very first time in my hometown of Buffalo. They were phenominal!!! Anyways, they sang this and I am now obsessed with this song.:)

  • @CarlieCurlyQ This song was written by the band Bruce Guthro sings in now.

    The 2 writers for Runrig Calum and Rory MacDonald, the lyrics have been altered a little, but it's all about (the original) the market square in Portree, the Isle of Skye in the North West part of the Scottish Highlands.

  • Lovely song, and amazing cover from Runrig

  • These song is from the album Something Beautiful*, And Runrig does a termendous job. Runrig is a wicked cool band and i hope to get one of there albums sometime soon. The DVD's are the perfect example of true LIVE bands.Runrig and Great Big Sea are both wonderful bands! :D

  • @greatbigsea247 I love the way GBS are based on more folk than Runrig, was actually blown away by how genuinely talented they are.

    I don't think Sean or Big Al really appreciate how good they genuinely are, great bunch of lads too, they'll be going for years to come I hope, seen them twice live supporting Runrig, want to see them on their own soon though!

  • @greatbigsea247 GBS don't seem to take themselves too seriously, their a great bunch of lads a credit to themselves.

    Runrig are exactly equally as talented but they I don't know just understand their position and stuff, it's great, but what this song was originally about for when Calum and Rory wrote it was about Portree on The Isle of Skye, but this version is just equally as good, it's great that they covered this I think and changed some of the lyrics to fit them, wonderful song!

  • 5* Thank you. :-)
