As a scot that has been living in england for over 15 years can i just say that this particular song just takes me home in an instant. THANKS FOR SHARING &GOD BLESS ALBA
Bruces finest ever performance, i believe, was given at this concert in Drummnadrochit. This is by far the best version of this song and would bring a tear to a glass eye!!!
How it took so long for Runrig to get inducted into Trad hall of fame is a disgrace. The MacDonald brothers have churned out hundreds of fantastic songs and have done so for well over 30 years!! The end of it all will soon come but the music will live with me forever
@4nt3ftw It is absolutely beautiful. I love it by Bruce. You should listen to it also with the former lead singer Donnie. Two awesome ways to enjoy this song.
And funnily enough, my dad and brother were at the soccergame Scotland - Holland and they were the only Dutch people who knew Runrig and could sing along! :P
@ArlyaM .....Greetings to you and I hope you do come to the game because as one of the tartan army I have been to four Holland v Scotland games in Holland and some in places like Sweden too.I have first cousins in Zeeland so and volunteered in Amsterdam for a year so I feel great togetherness with your country.
That is great to hear. I do hope I am going to get the chance to come to one of the games. Even if it's only because I'll be in Scotland. ;-)
And maybe you even met my brother and dad at the game, who knows. Oh, I did see the song you did (Flower of Scotland?) in the stadium. I have to say that that was quite impressive. Dutch people usually sing songs that have two full sentences repeating themselves. :P So being able to sing an entire song with so many people... That's cool! ;)
you cannot CANNOt say this is a bad song, no matter what music you like or where u come from or what ur opinions are. i love this song, i sing it in the shower i sing it in the street and i annoy the hell out of my mates singing it when drunk in the pub and i dont care about saying is because its sinply the best song, so simple and short yet so good.
seeing these guys very soon up in scotland. brilliant band and forever my favorite alongside Dire Straits and Pink Floyd
Hehe, I love this band. My dad has been listening to them in all my life, but it was first last year that I came to like them, and this was the first song I got to know by heart. ^.^ Now I really love that my dad and I share this interest, hihi
Lets face it, those of us who have been RunRig fans for years should be pleased, while DM and his voice are irreplaceable, thankfully they managed to find someone as good as Brucey to take over, he is an accomplished singer in his own right and now seems a proper part of the band.
rettuscm, mit Bruce mag es peppiger sein, aber die Versionen beider von Dir erwähnten Titel mit Donnie am Mikro jagen mir jedesmal eine Gänsehaut über den Rücken. Aber ich kann mich ja mit seinen Solo-Alben trösten. Meine Partnerin lehnt es sogar strikt ab, Runrig ohne Donnie zu hören... :)
Having grown up listening to runrig, Donnie Munro will always be my favorite lead singer, but by god Bruce is just as good! Love this song its amazing and this live version is excellent!
Es mag menschen geben, die Donnie Munro als den besseren Sänger empfanden, die Live Versionen von Hearts of olden Glory und Loch Lomond, die ich bei Youtube gefunden haben sind mit Bruce Guthro einfach peppiger! Dei Year of the Flood CD ist einfach der Hammer!
not sure but i think the first time i have seen /heared the band was on a german TV music show called rockpalast about 24years ago and i still love the songs and keep on listening to them
The first time I was made aware of this group was in a bar, believe it or not in Thailand and I have become a great fan. I play guitar and my wife plays base and we will be playing Hearts of Olden Glory at our new years gig, for a very special Scottish friend, in Thailand
I was not aware of this fabulous group until my friend, Petra - Prisha308 - shared this with me! I'm glad she did -- they're great!! I can see why they are her favorite.
Thanks, Prisha, for sending my way. And thank you, Bammer958, for the great post!!
Actually I think this version is better than the orriginal...! I'll have to admit that I didn't think much of their old singer, Donnie Munro, but I like Bruce Guthro.. :)
Thanks for your videos of Runrig and Donnie. I didn't know that Donnie Munro has his own carreer now. Immediately bought a cd and dvd of him. (in Holland they are not so famous, that's a pity)
Love this song makes me proud to be Scottish
