Going Home (Bagpipes)

[fireems71]

Thoughts and prayers for the family, friends, brothers and sisters of Firefighter Bruce Turcotte of the Hopelawn Fire Dept in Woodbridge, NJ. FF Turcotte succumbed to an apparent heart attack on February 19, 2012, while operating at a structure fire which also claimed the life of a resident.

[Knight192]

[jro1602]

@Knight192 terrorists? wtf are you talking about? there is only one jackass in this game sir, and it sure as hell is not me. What a horse's rectum you are. Please, see my original post and try really hard especially during the holidays.. You are a clueless moron. BTW, which, means by the way, I won't be responding to your next post because I can't match wits with an unarmed child, it's just not fair.

[subliminalmesseges]

@zmoney485 I'm not even scottish and I love the sound of the bagpipes :'D

[XanosKnyghtshade]

As much as I love the song, I was waiting for someone to tackle the piper into the water. Maybe someone dressed up as a Brit.

[ev1lscotsman]

scotland born and bread stirs a real scotsman when hearing the pipes

[NavyLaxBro]

[ArcanistsFreak]

[lifeofanidiot]

[TacticalNova]

@ArcanistsFreak thats what the bag is for, its holds air so you can breathe and keep playing...

[hep2jive]

[MasonUK1]

This tune was composed by Patrick mor McCRimmond, and has never been acknowledged. The closest is the note that Dvorzak arranged the tune.

[jmjk63]

Going Home, Moving on, Through Gods Open Door

Hush my soul, Have no fear, Christ has gone before.

Parting hurts, Love protest, Pain is not denied.

Yet in Christ Life and hope span the great divide.

Going home, Moving on through Gods open door

Hush my soul, have no fear Christ has gone before.

Christ has gone before.

[puritanpro1]

@jmjk63 Thank you for putting up the words - I didn't know it had words - but do appreciate them so very much.

[Langtonian2003]

Truly beautiful... As an exile Scot in California, I miss the sometimes calm and sometimes stormy beauty of the land and my people who are so much like their country.

[URLy2Rise]

Edelweiss ????

[davisonh1]

yes i know..bet you cannot explain to anyone how it is you can get over injuries and illness so quickly either..I am the same way..

[sickerthanlife]

i am a glasgow from glasgow scotland and i love bagpipes from the bottom of my heart and soul

[josephgmen]

R.I.P. RYAN DUNN GOD BLESS YOU :(

[dboyer15]

I like playing this tune on my piano! BTW the day you uploaded this video was Gwyneth Paltrow's 36th birthday!

[MrZkblack]

lol it says negro

[beastlord21]

when i hear the bagpipes play even though im a lil irish i still love to hear the great music that comes out of them, only if i learned how to play i would buy a cult and play in the street so everyone can hear the music of the scots and the irish

[beastlord21]

im from the Cushman Clan

[celticbattleaxe]

Well done!!!! I'm from clan Gordon highlanders and Dempsey (Irish). I play the Pan-flute, but every time I hear the 'old bagpipes, my pulse quickens and I get chills :)

This video and "Scottish Lost Song" have this effect in special potency. Sounds like home, in Alba, and MAN I wish I was back there.

[johnny3734]

Am I the only one that's noticed that there's water in his reed? And that he's playing the simplified version? I don't mean to nag, but I feel if you're going to post a song like this on youtube, it should be the harder version.

[TheAmericanCelt]

I get the chills after hearing this tune. feels like just yesterday the bagpiper played this at my grandmothers funeral. Love knowing that I'm of Scottish decent. Theres no better culture, traditions, or people than the Scots.

[BorisLikesBeer13]

What kind of a bastard whould dislike this.

:`) (tears)

[sarbarton]

thanks for the reminder of home

[alibalibe100]

Sorry but there are and never were tribes in Scotland i think you mean CLANS...............The clans made up of many familys and yes many were forced by an Evil Eglish government to move to many countries and have established the name of Scotland with Pride,,,Winston Churchill once said that no small nation apart from the greeks have gave the world so much

[gloripine]

@duggan6592 cause it just don't seem ''right'' playing without the kilt on.

[sheenska00]

Its a good bagpipes song and it takes lots of talent to play them... but i cant help but think of friends when ross is playing bagpipes.. "Everybody sing with me!".. "EEEEEEEEEE"

[97schultz]

Makes me think about my cusint Anthony who passed away in April

[oJKBo]

why do bagpipiers always wear kilts when they play?

[duggan6592]

@oJKBo They are probably Scottish and the kilt is a Scottish custom

[oJKBo]

@duggan6592 yeah but i was talking about anyone who performs on the bagpipes. us military bands have guys with bagpipes in kilts too. I dont understand why they need to dress like the scots did years ago

[Maholix]

@oJKBo

As I understand it, it's meant as a tribute to the legacy of the clans, and the isles themselves. The kilt is not a simple plaid cloth with no purpose. Traditionally these were hand sewn by someone close to you, and marked you as a member of the family.

The patterns may appear random, but even a single line of red in the design can symbolize a great deal, and bagpipe music is important to the people of the isles. It's said it connects them to their homeland and is almost sacred to them

[oJKBo]

@Maholix is this the same for all bagpipers? or do only bagpipers from the UK have their own kilts specially made with special meaning to it?

[Maholix]

@oJKBo

Well, much like anything traditional in our world, there are of course exceptions and those who are simply unaware. So no, I would not say all. But it's especially common among people who have celtic blood, or wish to pay their respects. This is why is a common uniform attire in a bagpipe band, especially in the UK.

[oJKBo]

@Maholix thanks ;]

[Maholix]

@oJKBo

Your welcome and thank you for your interest. I am glad I got to share this info with someone today.

[Maholix]

@Maholix When you consider that the bagpipes were also often played during times of war, a time when many lost their lives, the importance of the bagpipes to celtic families is deepened even further. The bagpipes are something to respect, and some even feel it rude if you do not wear the kilt.

By playing the bagpipes, your remembering and paying homage to all those who suffered, all those who died to give you the live you have now, and are wishing others a good life in an otherwise hard world.

[duggan6592]

@oJKBo Guess it's just tradition :)

And Scottish ppl still do wear kilts sometimes aswell afaik.

[skid1977]

Makes me want to buy bread.

[jgtemplars]

Well played. Condolences to the those who have seen the loss of a family member or friend this year from the Kerr clan Northern Highlands.

[digitalwasteman]

@jgtemplars Thanks much clan Kerr. My mum and brothers two now gone on...

[THEinsideOFaMOOSE]

really nice background, and greattt playing!

[12ock]

it woulbe be amazin in you are actually there

[craiggeary47]

very nice

[PrinceHallPiper]

well played

[68Wildhorse]

to me, no music is more beautiful than bagpipes.

[BwoodLegionAmb12]

this was played at a funeral i went to today

[junkgundrunk]

How many notes & grace notes can you miss?

[Indee619]

They had a piper play this song at the beginning of our Schools Rememberance Assembly. The piper played Amazing Grace at the end.

[hunebare22]

is there a way to download this to my comp from youtube? my husband is making a cd for his cousin with pics of her late father, she had this song played at his funeral and he wold like to use it on the cd.

Thanks

[sierr4]

WIN!!!!! 

[jeffhegarty]

Been looking for this tune for ages. Perfect with the pipes!

[Laurishala79]

Im of Scotish descent, but was born in the Dominican Republic, most of my family are Dominicans and have been for many many years now, but we are descendants of Scothish tribes that emigrated to the United States in the early 1700's. Its amazing how heritage can pull on someone, everytime i hear a bagpipe being played, either in a funeral, a church or any occasion, i cant help but get misty eyed and actually be able to feel some of the highland move thru me in a most mysterious way. Go Scots!

[CaptLim]

Most of my family is Jamaican but of Scottish descent. The way you described how you feel when you hear bagpipes played is exactly how I feel!

[hadiroo]

@Laurishala79 the way you describe it is perfect, this is exactly how I feel

[pheenix42]

@Laurishala79 Alba Gu Bra, indeed!

[Grantrus71]

@Laurishala79 Yeah when those pipes fire up...look out.

[Maholix]

I agree Laurishala. I grew up in a home that had no father but I will forever be grateful to my mother who stepped in and taught me such great lessons. I could have been completely unaware of my heritage, but she was there to tell me when I felt the call of the pipes. They have always called out to me, inspired me. I am so happy she told me why I was so drawn to them,

I have had many experiences that would not have made sense without that knowledge. The pipes remind me of home and embolden me.

[DrinkToIreland]

@Laurishala79 Aye ye have some scottish in ya lad and your entitled to wear a kilt like us :) Oh and i play the bagpipes. Alba Gu Brath

[Trilliumtrigger]

@Laurishala79 right there with you brother. i can't help but stop and listen when i hear one. you can feel the music inside of you and wish you could go home.

[piperbob2]

I heard that Dvorak took this theme from a negro spiritual, and that the inspiration for the spiritual came from hearing a piper playing a piobaireachd. So here's a pipe tune that has gone full circle!!

[kodaxrose50]

Love it

[commachio123]

e its not about negroes, Ive piped more guys back than you can think from back of c-15, yes we got it wrong, and caused more shit than nagasaki, You guys have my respect, Ive piped more ghurkas and fijians than you would know about, so shut the fuck up

[jock1454789]

NEGRO!!

[dcgreenspro]

amazing...I could listen to that all day

[FabioJP1300]

i must be part Scottish or somewhere from northern Europe cause I love the bagpipes even when i was small and today I'm a 13 year old don't know why but they call to me I love that instrument.

[Stephspirit08]

I love the sound of Bagpipes, it reminds me of when Amazing Grace was played at my brothers funeral. It reminds me of wonderful yet sad times.

[AriochStarr]

Only a true Scotsman could be able to play this

[Stephspirit08]

@AriochStarr Actaully my uncle can play this song, and we are german. It ahs nothing to do with being Scottish. Just if you got the heart to play the instrument, that's what counts. I play the clarinet, and love it to death. The first clarinet was invented in Germany, yet my friend, who happens to be Irish, plays the clarinet too. You see my point. No offense, but I took offense to your comment.

[leeinlancs]

Beautiful

[frankpaddyank]

Going home! Good on the Scots

[celticmusic352]

great tune happy piping

[morekare]

This is the tune to the song "Going Home" in the classic movie "Snake Pit" with Olivia DeHaviland. It was sung by the woman who played the mother of the little boy who owned the dog called "Lassie" on the television series many years ago.

[Ascaidh]

KiltedCrankie, your right sir. The song was originally written for african americans. Yet I have heard it just after 9/11. This and Amazing grace. The sound of bagpipes......comforts.

[jambali51]

i heard this tune in an old movie about a mad house does any one know what thet film was called

thanks babs

[LaloMD2012]

Amazing!!!

[footwerq]

This was the song played during the funeral scene for The Departed. Moving.

[FabioJP1300]

im tearing, i love the morning star line. I love the bagpipes. I want this song to be played at my funeral so bad.

[MegaAnnunaki]

I had a lump in my throat and tear in my eye when I first heard this, I am from Aberdeen in Scotland and miss those who have departed, may they find peace

[dahoser44]

Excellent piping, truly enjoy your playing!! 10****

Floyd

[CousinSusie]

Wow this is so BEAUTIFUL!! How you can play that Bag Pipe, It just Amazes me!

Thanks for sharing this with me Floyd!!

[saywhatsaysnot]

My hat is off to ya sir ...keep up the fine work

[AULDPIPER]

Good fingering but a bit to fast. Use the pauses to really bring out the melody. hence the tem"slow air"

[MegadethNate]

Quite sure she said that. And I too love the sound of the bagpipes along with the sun rising.

[ArizonaDesertPiper]

Good Job!!!!

[refreaper]

It aint amazing grace neither flowers of the Forrest it´s dvorak´s "Going home" theme of his magnificiant piece "New world"!

[commachio123]

awesome mate ignore the fuckwits

[Skyhartt]

More and more I love this instrument...

[bigneil8888]

what do u want him to say "decrepid nigger"

You tosser

[Azishome]

Good response. Despite the blithering of the politically correct guys, this music is still a Negro Spiritual. Know what the American Tuskgee University Golden Voice Choir calls this kind of music. They call it a Negro spiritual.

[qtarleton]

not bad.....

[bowebonney]

Does anyone know the song that they play at funerals sometimes with the bagpipe? I cant think of the name of it for some reason.

[nicewood21]

Amazing grace? Flowers of the Forest?

[Queedio]

amazing grace

[AULDPIPER]

@bowebonney Lochaber no more? or Mist covered mountains?

[cknoodler]

a little too fast, slow down

[cjanquart]

First song I learn to play, from a crappy little 2 page "guide" and an equally crappy cocus-wood chanter. I like The Rowan Tree myself

[kennyworth1967]

Very nice..I love bagpipes.

[pipemehome1]

Way too fast!! nice fingering!!

[unionfallen]

I love playing this song. especially slow (which is usually harder because its so easy to rush through)...I've started to work on playing it with like a piobairechd lament speed and adding extra embellishments...

good video, playing outside in natural areas like that gives you a real good feeling as a piper

[JohnathanTravolta]

Wow that was very good. I usually play it a little faster, but that's cuz i'm impatient, so yours is much better.

[polkadotsandstripes]

what a beautiful tune. well done. :)

[KiltedCrankie]

Thanks.

I'm planning on learning the seconds (at some point) to go with this tune. If the weather is with me I'll see what I can do to mix them.

Martin.

[atomphx]

One of my favorite songs on the "pipes". Well done.

[johnnyboy562]

Nice
