England - Great Big Sea - lyrics -

[KilroyTheGrand]

I like how people feel proud for living in the area of newfoundland, yet little to none have anything to do working on the sea. It;s not where you live, it's what you do.

[JeremyHill89]

@KilroyTheGrand That is where your wrong. Its not pride in the labour or the land, its pride in the blood that courses through us. We, as in all Newfoundlanders, come from a very diverse background and culture, and its pride we find in how we were made, and our ancestors who made us. saying its the work that makes us is like saying every person who works in the fishing industry is a Newfoundlander, and we are all aware that is not the case. Its the blood that makes you.

[KilroyTheGrand]

@JeremyHill89

Sure, if that makes you happy, believe that.

[JeremyHill89]

@KilroyTheGrand It does, because its the way it is. kick and scream about it all you want, but you cant change that fact. Rather than protesting the facts of life, you should try to accept it for what it is, because you cant change your blood and heritage any more than you can move the stars in the sky. By your thought process, if i moved to china i would be a Chinese person, when in reality, i would be of Chinese NATIONALITY. I would still just be an Englishman in China. Deal with it.

Respect to NFLD from Cape Breton Island

[13Orcun]

epic !

[plszuts]

[kteaka]

[matthewosmond1984]

@kteaka We Newfies are cool, and Newfoundland is the best place to live so you SHUT THE HELL UP YOU PIECE OF CHICKEN SHIT

[iamamangina]

I'm watching this in Leeds about 54 miles from the shores of England, So not that far

[rocknroll3000]

I envy all newfoundlanders

[matthewmosmond77]

I'm a full blooded newfoundlander, and there's no place i'd rather be than here in newfoundlad

Rock On GBS

[IStartedTheFlameWar1]

Awesome song....however....please, proper grammar...capitalizations....

[Masterkavi]

Songs like these are what make me truly proud to be a Newfoundlander. I might not be a fisherman, but I can see the ocean from my window, the same ocean that my Grandfather fished in and his before he.

Nothing grander than seeing the mighty waves crash upon the rocky shore, with great eagles flying above and great whales frolicking below.

I love living on the rock.

[ronsiris]

[Thisbloodypave]

[Darleemes]

Canada without Newfies... couldn't imagine it!

I'm proud of Canada and ALL Canadians...

From Sea to Sea to The Great Big Sea!

LOUD AND PROUD !!!

[CrazyCanuck129]

my mom's last name is Puddister, I'm part Newfoundlander, love GBS!

[112550349]

It's things like this that make me glad to be an "accidental Canadian" (a Montannan who was born across the border).

[hannahtim]

I love this song :)

Doesn't it make you proud to be Canadian ? I think so <3

[papiervampire]

Ugh, what song is that flute playing?? It's getting to me. I've known that tune my life; why can't I remember?

[somefooltookmyname]

@papiervampire

The tune that starts at 2:14 is an old hymn called Lift High The Cross.

[VPlover987]

one of my fave songs

[CeridwenLynne]

I love GBS and this is my favorite song of their. Love it!

[gdgest]

One of the very best songs from Fortune's Favour and from Sean McCann because it came from his heart and soul. He noted that he wrote it in North Carolina while thinking of his own family so far away, and realized how the first immigrants to Newfoundland must have felt centuries ago, never knowing if they would ever get to say goodbye.

[kreo45]

Ehhh. . im Novascotian <3 but still, them Newfies are crazy <3 ;D~

[Detano2]

sean is a goof

[Detano2]

[Tabooue]

@luvalotbaybee Hah, I'd have to top sayin' Allen is my Cousin.

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 england is shit so is the rest of the uk and most europe U.S.A = AWSOME

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters no YOU are shit, and so is your country

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 usa has better wether it has more mony were not a muslim brother and i dont have bad teeth oh yeah alot of (most) game coimpanes r in america movies dvds cds and stuff on tv comes out hear first so please explane how america is shit u queen fucking child raping cock sucking funny accented dick

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters lol, ur dissing our country when your page is full of shit on how u want to fuk miley cyrus, your a joke

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 no ur a joke miley is a better person than ull ever be and im not a five year old that jerks off to porn on the internet (like u) and i dont *fuck* my mom or suck my dads dick like u do so get a life iv been to england its cold and wet like the whole uk scotland has better ppl than england and oh yeah we beet u in soccer and u dident win the cup

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters why do you defend miley, shes only famous because her dad is famous. and btw, i dont like soccer nor am i from England, but without England america wouldn't be the way it is today. anyone country could build a boat and sail to a new land, its just that England got there first. so if you insult England, you insult yourself.

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 1 miley got her dad in hannah montana by acsadent 2 the spannish found the new world first moron the spannish qonquestadors hens how the united states of america was origanaly called la florida pronunced la floreeda when cristopher columbus found the new world (he was italian) he initiated the process of Spanish colonization which foreshadowed general European colonization of the "New World". then u brittish came and took it of them then george washinton wooped ur brittish asses

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters I'm not brtish

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters well if ur, as your user name says, "against miley haters", then you fail, there is just as many miley haters out there as there is justin beiber haters, and trust me, the number of beiber haters are off the chart. (supposing someone was stupid enough to make a chart based on imposable numbers)

[Detano2]

@Detano2 and btw, her dad was famous before the show even started, he's a country singer. (that sucks ass)

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 oh rely then how comed hes got millions and u dont ?? billy ray cyrus is awsome same as all the cyrus's better than u just because her dad is famous dosent mean she had it easy miley worked from the ground up

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters how do you know if i do or don't ? and i dont even like the shit that they sing

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 if u had millions i think u wood hav other things 2 do other than be on youtube

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters you're right, like buy a Lamborghini, make it all wheel drive, put a lift kit on it, put off road tires on it, and go dune riding in the Sahara desert. but only Bam Margera would do something like that, do you watch Viva La Bam and Jackass?

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 no am a disney fan

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters dose that mean, "i"m not a disney fan" or "no, i am a disney fan"?

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 it means i am a disney fan

[GeometricChemist]

@agenstmileyhaters Don't get an achey breaky heart over this.

[Psychonaut316]

@agenstmileyhaters Dude, for one thing, go back to school and learn grammar, punctuation, and spelling; you are doing yourself and your backwards-ass country's education system a grave disservice. Secondly, if it weren't for the British colonizing North America, you'd be speaking Spanish, French, or Cherokee, so show some respect. Thirdly, Miley Cyrus is only as popular as she is because of her father, Disney, and all the seven year olds that watch the damn show, listen to her music, and movies.

[TheAdelmo12]

@Detano2 technically the vikings were the first to sail to the new world. hence the name

"New found land" for Newfoundland. but yes england was a major colonizing power back in the day.

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 and thers always exscuses like england plays better against the big teams that explanes how uv not won the world cup in 44 years or evan made it to the finals and by the time the next one comes it ill be 48 years and rofl david injerd him self and didnt get to play what a joke

[Detano2]

@agenstmileyhaters I'm not from England

[agenstmileyhaters]

@Detano2 realy then why r u defending the uk ??????????? oh ur a hun of corse u support rangers oh how they are shite

[GeometricChemist]

@agenstmileyhaters I, a Michigander, find that to be stupid and insane. Both countries are just as awesome as the US, if not better.

[matthewosmond1984]

@Detano2 I'm part Newfie and part Native American because my Dad is Native and my Mom Newfie.

[Detano2]

@jmacgft wtf ur 1 ucky guy

[MisfitsToFreaxxs13]

@jmacgft Don't forget Canadian mate!
