Geweldig nummer! Zeker toen ze dit op KeltFest samen met Fling zongen.

En afgelopen zondag op het KasteelFeest in 'Rooi'! Om met de hand op je hart zachtjes mee te zingen

[k1ll3rtr0n]

going to see them tomorrow at a fest at our local castle :D

[th21021952]

Deze jongens maken van ieder optreden een feest

[nadllamonteiro]

perfect

[metalgod1993]

I have seen them 5times. over a few days I will see them again.

And they are always a surprise and a pleasure to listen to.

This song and Loch Lomond are so incredible.

Phantasium was great and cant wait till the EFF @madscotsman65 you should be proud for your music and proud, that everyone is singen it! It doesn't matter who sings it as long the songs keep on singing.

[madscotsman65]

THERE FUKIN DUTCH and there in kilts and singing our songs, what the fuck is up with that its like an englishman trying to tell people hes a scot it just not right

[TheMountainbikefreek]

[1991Tijmen1991]

Waterpijp en dit liedje, wat wil je nog meer...

[MRnasienie]

@1991Tijmen1991 wiet?

[1991Tijmen1991]

@MRnasienie nah, dan liever hasj...

[Smokerthesexyhunter]

@1991Tijmen1991

Een nuchter hoofd en geen geld verspillen aan wiet en tabak

[1991Tijmen1991]

@Smokerthesexyhunter Nah, zo nu en dan is een goed waterpijpje, al dan niet met hasj wel erg lekker hoor. Als je dat binnen de perken houdt, is het nog niet eens duur.

[lilibeape]

luv it!!!

[rjcb3]

Excellent!

[Raic94]

Rapalje is wonderful und epic ! :)

[piratebri]

Rome, the greatest empire in history, could not conquer Caledonia.

[ElishaGhost]

@piratebri

Actually, they never even tried to invade Scotland, some later sissy emporer decided the Roman Empire should stop expanding.

Either way, it says a lot about Scots.

[schnemo]

wonderful! Rapalje is only GREAT... thank you for upload your Video Marceal!!

Mit Abstand die schönste Version von 'Caledonia' - ihr seid einfach klasse!!

[EndBoss187]

I saw Rapalje live about half a year ago. i literally cried when they played "Caledonia". Sang along with them at the top of my lungs, too.

Awesome band.

[Southman45]

Saw them the first time in my life today in Öjendorf - did not know them before, was not into this kind of music...but this is absolutely magic - I instantly fell in love with this music! Pure musicians, great!!!!

[isilsurion]

prachtig!!!

t lieve liedje caledonia gecombineerd met zijn rauwe stem.

vind t echt super!!!

[dendritaa]

Maravilloso, magico, como toda lla cultura celta!

[seonidh]

A song like Caledonia is the song, that special song that the Scots love, its their equivellent of danny Boy is to the Irish.

[maggie09992]

wunderschönes lied :)

da kommen jedesmal die tränen :)

ich freu mich aufs mps in hamburg :)

[SimonMcBlack]

Zo eenvoudig en puur...

Heeft geen electronische junk nodig.

[GunniTheGunman]

Yeah, i saw them live today and yesterday, very nice band, great songs, wonderful melodies and rhythms, and these guys are very friendly xD

[EndBoss187]

Saw them live today. Awesome band.

[huluhi]

*fell in love* <3<3<3<3<3

[TessDurbeyfield81]

Wow I love them and this song is one of their best! I'm very very curious because in three weeks they'll play at the "Phantasie Spectaculum" in Karlsruhe!!

Can't wait to see... Rapalje rules!

[Asator09]

Awesome Music! I'm very excited, that I'm able to see them at the Hörnerfest this year!

[maarhoefe]

just came back from there life performance they are so awesome i got my whistle and dagger signed by all band members

[tomgollek]

saw and heared them last night.pretty goog.

[Brummelhexe]

There is no way to resist Williams amazing voice and Rapalje's beautiful music ... thank you for making wonderful memories :)

[3306372264]

norse and celts have a long and intwined history

[baschimera]

lekkere song!

[EmoFromHell23]

i've seen them live over 20 times, it is total fun when they play. everyone jumps and dances.

[theforsakenvampire]

amazing song.. brought perfectly..

cant wait till KMF!!

[Loth0o]

Zijn stem past echt perfect bij dit nummer!

His voice fits like hell too this song xD !

[Misericordia89]

Amazing interpretation It's very warm like a lullaby (:

Beautiful song guys!! My congrats from Chile...in the very end of the world

[Finargon]

Dougie Mclean cover!!?

[owlet1963]

The instrumental part gives me goosebumps on top of the goosebumps I have already from listening to the awesome voice singing. GREAT JOB!!!

[Maerko]

I cannot say any more than:

This is utterly beautiful.. The chorus makes you feel warm...

And they're not even scottish, nor am I (both Dutch)

Rapalje.. you guys are great!!

[OrcBebado]

This was just Phenomenal!

[oledoc65]

Great song by a great singer with a great voice and a great band .

What more can I say?

[Kneepkid]

That's what she says, but Northern Ireland is still under her rule (or at least under that of the british parliament) so they still belong to England. Otherwise there wouldn't have been a Bloody Sunday.....

[metalgod1993]

seen them twice ;)

[motte1168]

caledonia you´re calling me...

as if it comes from my heart so wunderful!

[Flulu92]

awesome song. :)

[Kneepkid]

But northern Ireland is, and besides that, they've never been part of the uk, but Great Britain is just those 2 huge isles of coast. And Ireland is celtic. ^^). But together with scotland the best and most awesome celtic part of europe! :P

[Kneepkid]

awesome part at 2:34, cant get enough of this song.

[Moonchild1607]

His voice is great.

[ltmatt90]

CELTIC BRITAIN(Scotland Ireland and Wales) IS AWESOME!!

Greetings from Italy ;)

[kleinepierik]

The band is dutch, and plays Irish, Scottish and Dutch folk music

[kilomeister]

pish. viking boy bands are trendy now! whatever happened to talent?

[Rukill]

War auch in osna beim eisheiligen geplänkel! Muss sagen das mir Coppelius und Rapalje am besten gefallen haben wer lust hat habe nen bissel geupet !

[HeuleKuH]

Ich war auch in Osnabrück und fand Rapalje einfach nur geil ;)

Am besten fand ich es aber, als sie angefangen haben zu dritt zu singen!!

Und natürlich den roten Weihnachtskilt :D

[SKAiman]

I was very surprised when i heard them two days ago... only did know the version of celtic women, and then he came... his voice deeper then any of the ladys ever could. and even it was in germany, and i think no one was prepared... at least some did sing along. quiet, not to dosturbe him... but it was so... harmonic... simply beautiful. but i must admit: just in my memories two days ago it was sung with a bit more spirit then in this video, but it might just feel so becouse it was live.

[jonnydread7]

I saw them in Osnabrück too and yes, this version is not so good as the one we heard. It was really amazing after "Omega Lithium" and "Ragnarök"

[SKAiman]

@jonnydread7 only "omega lithium" was... well... or more like "not so well"...^^ but coppelius made a great show again, like last year.

still, rapalje was one of the best on this night, i think. better then subway to sally, in my opinion... eric fish is especially on the old songs not as good as he was

[Kadef7]

Ah by the way: Look at the other songs, where he`s singin. As soon as he has a guittar, he`s another man and everything else but nerveous.

[Kadef7]

Its no big deal that hes VERY nerveous, while singing this song. HE WAS A STREET MUSICIAN!!!! And for THAT hes singing WONDERFUL!!!! MUSIK NOOBS!

[ejlaparram]

WHAT A VOICE, BEATYFULL!!!

[OhneToeFehltDirWas]

Where's your problem. Listen to this song or not.

[MrDiscodave22]

this guy ruins this song, it should be sung with passion and heart not someone trying to copy a celtic style who is OBVIOUSLY not a true celt

[bcaatje]

@MrDiscodave22 William is nervous while singing this song. Go to their website or channel for more!

And for someone who comes from the Northern Part of The Netherlands.... To sing in English... Listen to hear him sing the Manowar song The Crown and the Ring!

[MrDiscodave22]

nervous haha whatever, leave the scottish songs to the scots

[ejlaparram]

Do you even have any knowlidge of music, or working ears for that mather.Or do you have any feelings at all? What William does, sings or plays is always whit lots of feelings, and he is a verry nice person as well. If you don't know what your talking about, just shut up!!!

[MrDiscodave22]

to answer your queation i have more musical knowledge than your whole shitty fan club put together,g and i was born in stornaway so i have been brought iup with proper music , i also playe din the reel and strathspey as a child and no more about paasionate celtic music than any of you so why dont you all fuck off sure the guy is nice i just said the version he did of caledonia was not the best and was not sung in the fashion it should be because the guy is not scottish,

[LeafHuntress]

You do not NEED to open this page. You do not NEED to watch. You do not NEED to listen. You do not NEED to comment.

Please take your obnoxious attitude elsewhere.

[MrDiscodave22]

its a free country and you tube is a free service open to all , go fuck yourself and the horse that you road in on, you are all wankers

[ejlaparram]

Jet with all your 'knowlidge'of music and áll'of the things you claim to play, brought up with proper music, have i never seen you on you tube! But considering your choise of words, thats to uspect, does'nt it!!!

[LeafHuntress]

Well, all the knowledge he claims to have is being born in a special place, that is no feat for anybody. To have played some instruments as a child, nothing special but we can't fault him for that either, because he probably still is a child seeing his writing.

I'd question the passion of one who has disco in his username, NL as country and trolls 50 cent stuff.

The horse reference is funny because he seems to ride in on a high one, o how they fall!

Just ignore the ladd, he's "special".

[ejlaparram]

I could'nt agree with you more, and sure disco is made for 'people' with a bad taste of music.

And the language, one does'nt have too ask what his favourite hobby is, but you know what they say, the more you talk about it, the less you get.

[thegirlNiceOne]

1. you still make spelling faults, so learn english first.

2. if you think you could do it better then this then do it, don't only talk about it .

3. if you're scottish then sing the song and you will see that it won't be any better then this.

4. you're a stupid fucker if you claim to be better while you ain't.

[ejlaparram]

One thing, iff you don't like the music, why do you even put it on??Do you like complaining thát much? I pitty you for it!

[katfairy1969]

I wish their albums were available in the US; you can't even order them online.

[arjanMAFIA]

rapaljee rulezzzzzz ad meursing!!!!! drenthe!!!

[TruthNeverFade]

it's soo beautiful, and I have to cry, every time I hear this *_*

RAPALJE FTW!

[dougie159753]

then listen to the original version of dougie maclean. it's just stunning. gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to the song.

[SoulReaver0]

just beautiful...

[DutchAngua]

Beautiful song, and very friendly guys too.

[maarhoefe]

@DutchAngua very friendly they even helped me learn tin whistle

[bmmcloughlin]

I love the music in this version; the violin is superb.. But there is a reason why Celtic Women has 50 times more viewers than this and I don't don't think it's simply down to physical beauty.

[lacorue]

Well, Celtic Women are on public tv in the US almost every other day. I'm sure that helps with popularity outside Europe. I don't think a lot of people outside of northwestern Europe have heard of Rapalje, though.

[Angela220907]

Thanks for that Slightly Susan - I didn't know the Scots and Irish are Celts - Doh ! as I'm only a scottish person living in Ireland - next you'll be telling me the Welsh & French are celts where will it all end

[spooxie]

Scots, Irish and Welsh are considered Celts, French are not, except Bretons (inhabitants of Bretagne/Brittany). Irish and Scottish-Gaelic are closely related languages (q-Celtic), as are Welsh and Breton (p-Celtic). If you want to know where it ends, you could try Celtic Studies, taught at several universities in Ireland ;-)

[KniepStuuveR]

Sarcasme is hard to catch with written text it seems. :)

[AngusOnkel]

Good Tribal style :-) Good Music :-)

[Eddieeey]

Vindt het zo cool hoe de grote stoere mannen van Rapalje zo'n lievelijk liedje, zo gevoelig kunne brengen. Echt geweldig nummer dit.

[JessicaCastle16]

whahaha ja echt he, kei schattig!

[eizetjuh]

ik heb ze in groningen voor het eerst gezien donderdag, heb de hele tijd wat zullen we drinken in men hoofd :P

[singingmuse]

ik heb ze woensdag en donderdag gezien in Groningen, en ik kijk uit naar de volgende keer dat ze in de buurt zijn.

[SweetyDante]

Prachtig nummer.. Jammer dat ik donderdag niemand kon vinden die ik mee kon slepen naar Groniningen, anders was ik zeker gegaan!

[wolfjeanne]

ik ook niet, ben toch gegaan en het was het waard !

[Silveryne]

De enige versie van Caledonia die ik oprecht super vind. Williams stem is er gewoon geschikt voor. Ik kan niet wachten tot donderdag (woensdag misschien).

[Tenz0r]

Ik was er donderdag, geweldige preformance niet? ^^

Publiek was ook goed donderdag !

[jmmarjan]

Heb ze gister voor het eerst zien optreden op de Elf Fantasy Fair....SUPER kijk al uit naar donderdag dan spelen ze in Groningen :D

[SlightlySusan]

I like that someone described this a video response to Celtic Woman. AARRGGHHH! Celtic Woman! As someone said, "what does that group have to do with Ireland or Celts?"

[Angela220907]

what does it matter if they are not Irish or Celts - and I will think you will find it's a scottish song !!!

[SlightlySusan]

The Irish and the Scots are both Celts. Do a little research.

[Endarfin]

just on the side, dutch are from the same descent, irish and celts btw is saying potatoes and bread, irish(country) celt (religion) :P

Druids , bards etc are celts.

/I\

[howlingwulvi]

Beautifull!

Hier kun je een scottisch op dansen ^^

[Zwaan226]

Beautifull :) looking forward to Elf Fantasy Fair ^^ its in 18 days :D

[Stefanhofer]

jea the accent is great, i`m from germany, and i just understand every second word^^

[kingofkards91]

Wow, that's really cool phrasing. I've never heard this with a Scottish/Dutch accent.

[LNatasja21]

They are not scottisch dumbhead. They are fucking dutch so shut up!

[Fiddle315]

I sent this around as a joke to people. What is that dweeb doing on the fiddle? Boolavogue in the middle of Caledonia? Come on, just pretend you know the Scottish music.

[STRIENESTAD]

Suck some Dutch dick sheep fucker

[Fiddle315]

No, its you losers that suck the farm animals. These guys are a comic team, there is no way they would try to play these songs without a sense of humor. OR,.... they really just are terrible but that is the level of garbage you eurotrash will accept.hahahahahahahahahahah

[bcaatje]

Hi TCZblood, try to come over to Holland and visit one of the fairs where they perform live and you will enjoy this version. Try the other video's from this group.

[Tazs20]

Prachtige versie! Kippenvelmomentje hoor!

Live zijn ze altijd zoooooo goed. Beter dan op de cd's ;-)

[mientjeXL]

Het is calAdoni trouwens xD

[kierannightstalker]

Listen to the original - Dougie Maclean. That's how it's supposed to sound! It's great that this song is crossing borders but until you put yourself in Scotland, you don't realise how powerful this song is.

[tczblood]

being scottish, i finding this is the worst version ive heard yet.. i couldnt listen to all the way that bad

[AxaliaN]

Have you heared the version of Celtic Thunder? Yeh. THAT one sucks. This is brilliant, and at least it's played how it is supposed to be played, without beats or a "pop" feeling.
