[LizAndyMovieWatcher]

this was great

[mygirlietaz]

Eddi, this song by our great bard Rabbie Burns is totally flawless when sung by you. Yip, you have fallen in love with Rabbie.You have brought the old so and so back to life. Thank you for that.

[MrCruyffTurn]

@mygirlietaz Don't forget to sit indoors to avoid the 300-days-a-year-rain. And remember to avoid the heroin syringes and used condoms when you pop down to the cornershop. And don't forget, Westminster is the cause of all your problems. Culture. You can't buy it. You just get to live it.

[kettuantti]

Just wonderfull!

[reallyrolly]

beautiful voice - never seen her before - she is so good

[DJPaterson28]

Amazing performance!

[Goldenbridgeinmate39]

There's nothing more moving than listening to a Scottish folk song being sung by a singer with a pure natural Scottish accent/voice. Eddi does so much justice to this ballad. Eddi's guitar skills are really great as well. As for 'specs' which commenter, down below remarked on; well, I guess, Eddi needed them to play guitar. I'm definitely going to purchase her Robbie Burns CD. I was so bowled over with her modern rendition of Auld Lange Synge that she sung some years ago at Scottish parliament.

[ANNAisNICE]

Well guys, This is my cousin. YEEEAA BOYYYYYY

[cARCHIEc]

nice 1

[mygirlietaz]

Eddi, this is a heartfelt wee bitty that makes my heart feel heavy and light at the same time,Why ? Only because our boy/our Bard, made us think again. Those lyrics and your delivery were and are, a match made in heaven. The lyrics are incredible and your VOICE is FLAWLESS. ........When a' the seas.......Oh Rabbie, you did us proud and as fer you Eddi, you're some girl. Thank you for being JUST you.A voice that, thus so far, anyone can match.

[gary0074755]

wow a beautiful song that touches the heart done by a lovely lady, awsome

[trackdaybob]

She has the voice of an angel.

[ballotboxman]

Never very sure about the specs but perfect rendition. Does it better than anyone else.

[hippyhorses3]

Cant wait for your next concerts, can't believe I never been to one yet! Please always sing Red Red Rose and Aye fond kiss your amazing bonny lass!

[rnr5682]

thank you eddi, for the dedication-- to return to you

[benzaitenmantoo]

I can hardly wait to get to one of your concerts...I would love to take you to the Island.

[benzaitenMAN]

Eddi I really have no idea how you can now move on and surpass what you have done recently. But I guess you will bounce back again and surprise us even more. I look forward to that day. Gon yerself Lady.

[NossedEvoTwin]

Beautiful rendition. Great post.

Thanks

[smilersweetness]

Lovely:)

[DonegalRaymie201]

How this great song should sound for me! Thanks Eddi!

[gourdonboy]

This is the song that Bob Dylan said inspired him to write his songs.

[gregharrison]

Did he actually say that??

wow

[gbwb606]

yip i agree Eddie looks and sound better with age. just love her voice. she could sing to me all night.

[Raised2Rock]

Beautiful song indeed. Eddi does a great job and the original words and the Scot accent is great.

Eva Cassidy's vrsion is still me fav tho...

Even more beautiful in my opinion although lacking the accent and with modernized words.

[natjames7]

I love her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Philoaussie08]

What a beautiful tune. I first heard of Eddi on Aus ABC Radio last year, it was a great interview. Thanks for sharing this vidio.

[thepoeteamon]

Am I the only one who thinks she sings and looks even better with age? I remember her from Fairground Attraction but I prefer her as a folk singer.

[LozzaMc1972]

Gives me goosebumps this song, especially sung by Eddie. Wonderful, makes the Scots blood run through your veins that wee bit faster!

[Quietlydoesit]

You have to be a Scot to understand the lilt and poignancy of this song. It instils a feeling similar to what the Portuguese call: 'suadade'

A longing. A kind of romantic sentimentality for ones own culture and place. We all have the feeling but only some cultures have a specific word for it.

[nimmidiel]

Maybe you meant Portuguese "saudade"...

[wilsparky]

Maybe I meant exactly what I wrote.

[Quietlydoesit]

Geez yer number hen means... 'give me your number darling' ...well that is as near a translation as I can give. 'Hen' is a term of endearment that Glasgow men use in reference to women they are on casual but friendly terms with.

[Muskadash]

Mmmmmm.....

[weeweelegs]

this song and singer transports you back to a different time in history, so beautifull

[DreadedEd]

a Scotts Angel

[geebus83]

wow she really has a beautiful voice... it had to be perfect

[princesspeachygirl]

my high school chamber ensemble has to sing this for a competition. its really beautiful and touches all of us!

[jsolisv]

0, my luve is like a red, red rose,

that's newly sprung in June.

0, my love is like a melodie,

that's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair thou art, my bonnie lass,

so deep in luve am I,

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

till a' the seas gang dry.

[jxjl99a]

Lovely and beautiful all at the same time!

[MINIMUMJOHN]

SWEET SOUND - MAY LADY LUCK SMILE ON YOU

[budburp]
