[desperatemeasures911]

My aunt plays The Queen of Argyle in this video :P

[MsOneiroi77]

@desperatemeasures911 well the swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile! 

[TxKimberly]

Love it! The harmony is awesome, the song is cute, and it just doesn't get any better than this!

[seonidh]

Nice scottish song

[randallcormier]

Had the pleasure of sharing the stage with these guys in Texas, great musicians and great people

[mundymanor]

I like this version far more than any other. Harmony is fantastic and so is that fiddle.

[Jipjoow]

I really love the original, but this one is good too, just a pity it's so fast.

[shadowcat48li]

pretty good version, I prefer either the original or the Tempest version

[mrzeegrr]

Sons of Maxwell are a great Band. Until now, I thought "Great Big Sea" and Niel Young were the only great Musicians to grace Canada. Alas, I was wrong.

Great song, great band, Great white north is indeed great.

[shadowcat48li]

@mrzeegrr you need to check out Stan Rogers... probably canadas greatest folksinger

[InvaderJem]

Easily the best cover of The Queen of Argyll I have ever heard. I love it!!

[bungmasterteddybear]

i just can't get enough of thisong. S.O.M. you are amazing

~Bungee

[davefgordon]

Pure magic !!!

[dragonsofliberty]

[griffindog1]

[sm4yrh]

[kittyspurrr]

[longingtobethere08]

WOW...Lovely

[NatureLover987]

Amazing harmony, guys!

[monkeemen1]

Amazing song and awesome music video! Thanks for uploading!

[Pionervozhataya]

Awsome. I adore irish tunes.

[seonidh]

@Pionervozhataya its not irish nor is argyle in ireland

[scoozanna]

this is great. I have really enjoyed checking out SOM's stuff since their United song!

[deaconiuppa]

I got pulled in by the United videos, but this is my favorite song. Hopefully you'll be in Buffalo or Toronto sometime soon.

[BrianBinOR]

As a Campbell, I particularly love the lyrics. :-)

[scoozanna]

love this!!

[mrkemac]

You guys have a great sound

I'm from Cape Breton...

Hung around the 'The Pub' on George St 1977

Thats where it all started...The Pub

[rsmithlal]

i really like this song! great video too =)

[arbarber9943]

I am amazed that these guys aren't in the mainstream music industry!!! Someone should be marketing these guys to the masses (computer illiterate masses, I mean)...seriously. I am not a profesional by any means, but these guys are really great!!!

[jamesmorton1992]

No comments saying how WONDERFUL this song is and how well these guys perform it after over 57 thousand views?!

Madness....

[PenNhnd]

I guess this speaks to my Irish side! Out of the 57,000(+) views of this video, 57k of them are from me! :)

[scotti54321]

I would have thought that this was a very old song until I looked it up. Good work guys!

[69MuffinMan]

pretty great.

[slowrvr]

Best version on YouTube. Love the quicker tempo.

[namnoiz]

Great video !!!

[rtsutrdsrsr]

this is such a good song

love it

[rtsutrdsrsr]

[najadetwo]

Love this song, thanks for posting it

[youniquelikeme]

I love love love this! You guys do this better then any group on Youtube.. great harmony! Why are you not allowing comments?  The video is perfectly done as well.

[angelita2556]

I like this video so much!!

[Slides2006]

Good rendition

[Celtica1]

love this song, violin is so beautiful!

[Rodro226]

Unos fenomenos muchachos, sigan asi, recien los descubro!

[TheShirEl]

I discovered the Sons of Maxwell because of "United Breaks Guitars." All their clips are good, but this one is magical. This and "Oceanside Again" are my favorite clips on YouTube. CHEERS!

[ddb05440]

Love it! So wish I could see them in concert! Come tour in the lovely state of Vermont or anywhere in New England!

[MrandMrsMcG]

But why can't we find you on iTunes?

[saijar67]

these guys are awesome. simply fantastic. they need to go on tour here in the US. like maybe somewhere near Jackson, MS....

[dreadedjollyroger]

Awesome song

[iTerpy]

Love their arrangement of this song!

[Mommarazzi]

Andy Stewart's great song, found this after "United Breaks Guitars"- like the upbeat tempo, Son's of Maxwell do a great job. Like the chord changes in this song, the progressive chord changes are lovely

Go listen to the artistry of Silly Wizard as well, the originators of the song. What a great band, my kids were raised on it: even though we are States bound Scots

[Laylablue14]

I like so much this version!

[Ruzdur]

Amazing song!

[SargeantBlite]

Love the music SOM do :D

[arkanewolf]

I've always loved this song, and this rendition is fantastic.

[Onawawgirl]

Really enjoyable song and video.

[griffindog1]

outstanding!

[lederbandl]

This version has some sort of "the unknown stuntman"-vibe to it^^

[MrWincidi]

bloddy hell guys,over 47.0000 views and no comments.... I love you SOM, keep up the good work!

[00silentlyshouting00]

it's SO beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

both the video and the song, lyrics everything i really really love it!!!

[oliviathefolkie]

Wow! I love this song! I have never heard anyone but Andy Stewart's band do it, and you sound wonderful!

[youniquelikeme]

Wonderful song, terrific harmony! Just a great ballad!

[youniquelikeme]

so lovely

[japanesehighlander]

I first heard this song off a buddy who had taped it from Dal`s celtic music program. Now I`m learning it for my kitchen parties in Japan!

[rwasmyfirstlove]

AMAZING VERSION!!! THE BEST I'VE LISTENED TO UP TO NOW! :-)

Hugs, Billy from Montevideo, Uruguay, South America

[badavis2840]

Love this song

[luxlunna]

Muito lindo!!!

A música tem um pézinho na Idade Média, quase Renascença.... tem um algo sutil que me encanta. E os vocais? Muito bons!

Esses caras são bons e eu agradeço à United por quebrar o violão dele, senão eu nunca teria conhecido o grupo!!!

.....

...

[scoozanna]

Love this song!

[rwasmyfirstlove]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! :-)

[griffindog1]

Outstanding!

[sorrypop]

[earthangelly9]

Such a wonderful rendition of a beautiful song!

[griffindog1]

Outstanding!!

[Uagnim]

VERY good!!!... I just wanted to hear more times the last moviment, when the violin starts to play at 2:50

[TheAngelsprite]

Exquisite!

[Hagolino]

I like this song very much. And the video as well!

[Hagolino]

Very good. I like this Song very much!

[endbringer1]

Cant wait to have these guys at the dragon boat festival :P better play this song ;)

[Wildlybamboozled]

Really, Dave, I don't know how you do it. I haven't heard one song of yours I don't like, and even my absolute favorite band has some songs I don't like. This happens to be on my list of first favorite songs- a lot of songs tie for the spot.

[Xage85]

i love this song.. cant stop listen to it...

[DivineCaliber]

[tankerm11982]

This is an Awsome Song !

[tankerm11982]

Awsome song !

[LadyMarian56]

This is great! Really enjoyed it - well done and thank you

[injunshepp]

Oh my lads my needs must leave you,

My intention's not to grieve you

Nor indeed would I decieve you,

For I'll see you in a while

I must find some way to gain her,

To court her and to tame her

For fear my heart's in danger

From the Queen of all Argyle

[injunshepp]

On the morning that I mention,

I passed with light intention

Down through part of our dear country

Known for beauty and for style

In a place of noble thinkers,

Of scholars and great drinkers

But through all their lovely splendour

Shone the Queen of all Argyle

[injunshepp]

And if you could have seen her there, Boys if youd just been there The swan was in her movement, And the marble in her smile.  All the roses in the garden, would bow and ask for pardon For not one could match the beauty Of the queen of all Argyle.

[injunshepp]

Quenn of Argyle

Gentle men it is my duty

To inform you of one beauty

Though I'll ask of you the favor,

Not to see her for a while

Though my love she is a creature

Of character and feature

No words can paint the picture

Of the Queen of all Argyll.

[MemphisMyoho]

Love the kilts!

[slidenote]

Very Celtic. Love it!

[bungmasterteddybear]

hey guys i really like this song. the upbeatness and minor kwy make it awesome

:)

~Bungee

[bungmasterteddybear]

damn, i really enjoy this song. the harmonies and the upbeat tempo :)

~Bungee

[kauricat]

Hi! I found this video after hearing about your United woes. Thanks so much for doing this version of one of my favorite songs!

[alaskapilot3]

What is the Instrument at 2:26 ?

(ok i Know its some Kind of drum please Be specific)

[robstitt22]

This is an AWESOME song--and a good video, to boot! Amazing harmonizing...catchy tune...great!

[KingNikan13]

Amazing Song

[rodm4]

love this video!

[xKCBEx]

good song, why did they drop this genre I wonder? I like it more than their more recent offerings

[sorrellainimogen]

I love this song, thought I don't really understand the argyle.

[robstitt22]

Awesome song! Good video, too!

[robstitt22]

Wow, this is quite a bit different. The Irish accent kinda threw me bit--but I like it!!

[acpren]

Very Nice! Who is the lead singer in this one? It sounds a little like he could be from the other side of the pond, eh?

[sjlenator]

Can't believe no one has commented thus far...this video is brilliant!!!

[MollyAuden]

What a wonderful adaptation! Very energetic, and the harmonies are beautiful.

[Bertziethegreat]

She is quite beautiful.

[nilsdrew]

nice song, good memories of going to british pubs in saskatoon thanks

[animation508]

you guys are awesome, rock on!

[Bertziethegreat]

She is quite beautiful.

[KaptKan1]

Great version of this celtic classic from the pride of Nova Scotia (and the rest of Canada!), The Sons of Maxwell!

You guys are GREAT musicians!

BOYCOTT UNITED AIRLINES!

[Bertziethegreat]

Amazing imo tbh

[curlyowl6]

I love this video. The timber of your voices are just beautiful.

[btbtwill]

this is kind of funny and I like it. they are good with the humorous stuff.. Keep it coming. Where is United #2

[jantjehoofd]

everytime i listen to this it just makes my day

[lephyduex]

I'm a new fan, purchased by the Taylor's blood. This rendition of 'Argyll' is, by far, the best I've ever heard! Vocals are clear and resonant. The accompaniment is just breathtaking -- lively, yet alluring. (The boys look pretty cute in their kilts, too . . .*smile*)

[bluenoserr]

When i saw the song-title, I thought it was going to be about that really hot waitress at the Economy Shoe Shop (on Argyle St). Great song and video though!

[kaldraug666]

This song is so great... :)

[60616zzz]

where can i buy this

[rsh2cpa]

I enjoyed your singing. It looks like an Ovation guitar being used in this one. Did the Taylor come later?

[Slides2006]

Great rendition of a Celtic folk song.

[terryhaggin]

WHOOHOO! I made the first comment on this video. Sons of Maxwell, do I get a free ticket? You guys are going places fast.

[ThisCanadian]

most excellent...

would that be of ARGYLE Street?

*wink*

[blaker007705]

gr8 song...makes me long for the east coast...nice job

[jaxgal618]

I'm so glad I found this band on MSNBC from an article about United Airlines. You're all FANTASTIC!

You definitely have a new fan down here in Georgia ( My dad's family comes from Halifax and St.Johns/Moncton area ). I absolutely love this kind of music and your vocals are incredible. Hope to catch your band live sometime if I ever get back up North. :)

[constantvigilance11]

I love the video to the classic song, and that the Queen was the fiddle player. Excellent work!

[tclapshaw]

A good, updated version--and I did the kilts! :)

[Rosaberry123]

What's in her smile? Marbles?

I can't fathom why you guys would change the lyric from 'the morning in her smile', which is a much lovlier image!

I only forgive you because your harmonies and arrangements are so absolutely gorgeous.

:-)

[NHMntnHIGH]

excellent tune well done

[Zeuszgrl]

good job !

[kittyspurrr]

I loved the fiddle and really great harmonies.  I am kinda glad they mucked with your guitar so we could find your great talent.

[jerichomyles]

[AZterritory]

~Nick in Toronto

[gr33nman]

These guys are awesome.

[devin793]

[generalbrock2000]

I only noticed this band when they posted 'United Breaks Guitars', but they have amazing music.

[KaptKan1]

You guys do it all, from folk to rock to country! And thanks to United Airlines, you are about to become a super-group.  Cool.

[3technique]

These guys are terrific!! I need to buy some of their stuff. Anyone know where I can find a CD or 12?

[Janet1968]

I love it! You guys are terrific! I'm sorry that it took United breaking your guitar to get your band all this attention. It's certainly way overdue. Best of luck.

[donrad2]

Nicely done. Very creative video.

[Stillpt]

Great images!!

[billymoe7]

know what i just heard?? United breaks guitars ... nice tune, boys ... !

[kittynnc]

Beautiful!

[jondoe8889]

Nice version! I like the confidence shown in the video.

[vayde]

Nice track =)

[Johnnavic]

Again, well done.

[rodm4]

Love this song...great video...miss the Halifax pub scene and the great Celtic music.

[rodm4]

Love the song - love the video - love your voice - miss the Halifax pub scene and the Celtic music.

Hope you get your guitar fixed and some compensation!

[ralphdjeeper]

great video,and song too,enjoyed.

[pillsauve]

How can there be 13 thousand odd views and no comments??

[donrad2]

Nicely done! Very creative video.  Love the sound.

[NSResponder]

guys, you really ought to learn the words. She's the queen of ALL Argyll not OLD Argyll.

Also, it's "the morning in her smile", not "marvel in her smile."

Seriously, how hard is it to google the lyrics?

-jcr

[MrDeAD1313]

oh dear!

[Reed220]

this is the best version

[doug427]

nicely done...

[Fionnuala1969]

ahhh.. hot guys in kilts. thank you! great version of this song, too! :-)

[ArtClancy]

This is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard.

[agduine]

I don't understand why you erased my comment, it was a positive comment about your music, which I love, by the way.

If your answer to a positive comment of a fan is erasing it, why are you enabling comments?

[agduine]

I like your version! :)

[ghost127232]

Good Version of this song. Very good video too.

[Patsyinclined]

Love it...x

[ThisIsPaintball741]

Love these guys

[Josette1795]

Great video. you did a wonderful job.

[shep54]

When they say smile it doesn't sound right...kind of awkward, but the rest is really good!

[NoahsLucky]

This is my favorite. I am determined to meet a girl in some similar way.

[MyCoreIsMETAL]

Amazing song, one of my favs.

[cibodrake]
