Farwell Nova Scotia

[chengloki]

Magnificent song about magnificent peoplle. We pulled into Nova Scotia aboard the USS Milwaukee. My God, you treated us is as if we were your own. My money was no good at any bar. And the way the HMCS Protecteur (SP) took care of us!!! This is one US Sailor that will take offense and kick the ass of anyone who insults any Canadian. =Stefan=

[Primal400]

This is my favourite version that I've found, but this video is the only copy that I can find. I'm pretty sure that it's not the Pogey version, can anyone clear that up?

[scooby00699]

This just made me a little home sick.. Can't wait to get back for a visit.

[silentgui08]

i love living in nova scotia best place to live in the world

[Uberdust]

I believe the version of this song is by a band called Pogey.

[Sean2Ireland]

Wow! From the first verse I really loved this upbeat, powerful and just plain fun rendition. I'm not sure who is performing this version, but I love it! I love the slower classic renditions also, but this is new and energetic. It's great!

[joeytubeuser]

this is an insult to whoever wrote this great song!

[Triforcecwp]

I love you Nova Scotia <3 :D

[bluenoserr]

Lots of fog in the pictures.  Proper!

[japanesehighlander]

Thanks for the video, I haven't been back to my home in Nova Scotia for 6 years, living and working in Japan, my Japanese wife really loves it there, and I've met a Japanese man who went to Cape Breton to learn fiddling!

[wolf7426]

Aye, I love Nova Scotia.

[BrittanyHargestFan4]

[fckshtdck]

[Lutik2010]

I really love Nova Scotia and this song. I´ve been to Nova Scotia in 2001, 2002 and 2004 and I hope that I will be able to go there as soon as possibe again.

AH, now I`m homesick. I`ve lived in Asia for 13 years and have only been home about 3 times. Thanks for the video

[BigBossCat]

A sassenach is what Scottish people call English people, usually as an insult. I don't know what the word actually means, only, like I said, that it's how they refer to us English!

[nitroxfever]

@BigBossCat

sassenach means 'saxon'

[Angus01ful]

@nitroxfever Sassenach..in a sense your correct ...It is a gaelic word that means englishman....Sassen = England

[Angus01ful]

@BigBossCat Sassenach is not a insult from the gaelic people to the english..It just means Englishman and Sassen just means England.........sin agad e....thats it.

[777godisgreat]

Springhiller right here!!!

[torontocolorado]

This makes me proud to say I am a 78th Highlander Halifax Citadel.I am pipe major of the grade 5 band,and I love nova scotia.

[BigBossCat]

Wonderful pics! I'm from England, but seeing these pics makes me wish I could live in Nova Scotia! I must visit there one day - I just hope they'll be nice to me, seeing as I'm a Sassenach!

[CorkedMagician]

Were nice to everyone, even people we don't like aha. It's our big strength and fault. Its the Canadian way and the Martimes are even more so.

[MissAlbaNuadh]

@BigBossCat what is a sassenach? i have never heard that term before, us Nova Scotians are a very friendly bunch no matter eho you are( for the most part there are exceptions to every group)

[ASLforU]

[angieinto]

Thank you for posting this. It's 20 years ago this week I moved to Toronto from Nova Scotia and I'm feeling a little sentimental. I still go home every year. I recognized a lot of the places you had pictures of.

[chengloki]

Nobody gives a damn for us sailors. =Stefan=

[aceofhicks]

0:20 the Noon gun at Halifax, right? And good modernized version of the song.

[lordofthingz]

i used to live in Saskatchewan, but when i moved here i had my heart, and breath stolen! Love this place!

[cheart99]

[snowcatns]

No dis-respect intended, Farwell should be Farewell Nova Scotia in the title, Make it easier to find :) Great video and thanks

[asmith8797]

Sure miss it! Can't wait to go back to my adopted home land! You're pictures make me homesick

[Ambidexter143]

I love this song, I hate this cover of it.

[Rikki0]

I'm not sure, but this version sounds very much like it's done by " Great Big Sea ". It's their style and sounds like them.

[vivlyons]

Definitely not Great Bog Sea. Sounds more like Pogey - a Halifax band.

[Rikki0]

You may be right, vivlyons. This just sounds so much like GBS's style. But now that I'm listening again, the lead singer does not sound so much like GBS.

[Rikki0]

Just watched some clips from Pogey. Very entertaining group and yep, this could sure be them. Thanks for the heads up.

[brummc]

WHOOOOOOOO nova scotia rocks!

im glad i live there!

[zapaul93]

aha woo i live there yah!!! fast song tho

[martinc16]

i like the slide show, this version of farewell to nova scotia is a little to uppidy though.

[Oakaloke]

if only the song was slower.....

[McGenghis]

This is Ray Mattie, isn't it?

[oldmanbassoon]

That's exactly how I remember Nova Scotia.

Could have used a better version of the song, though.

[coolergolf]

Is this Pogey playing the song?

[pizarroluigi]

I've always wanted to go there.

[bitchface66]

If you do, make sure you have lots of time! hehehe There's alot to see...and hear. I've hear people say it just feels like home, no matter where you're from.

[jewelhc]

simply beautiful

[dannyplouffe]

This is one of my all time fav songs

[simbrow]

nova scotia is my adopted province i live in ontario i feel very much at home
