Tribute to Nova Scotia

[AJulyWildFire]

The Best Song Ever

[bendingsickle]

I've seen this version credited to The Pogues.

[GlobePhobe]

My favorite version is still the Stan Rogers version on a record. Love nova scotia and Stan Rogers

[mcphee1101]

This version is not Stan Rogers, the accent is all wrong for him as well as the range. I'm fairly certain, just from the voices I don't have any proof, that this is the Dubliners.

[fishundertree]

HOneymoonin' In the nova scots here we come.....

[dixonskingdom]

This version is definitely STAN ROGERS!

[chrisinuae1]

love this song so much, and brings tears to my eyes when i hear it, being from there, and living so far away (middle east) there's no place like Nova Scotia, esp when you come from Cape Breton Island as I do :))

[keith138]

This is my favorite version of this song, love it, I finally found it on mp3......it is listed as being the Irish Descendants, and I've found that in a few places, so it must be them.......song makes me miss home, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo related to NS and the song..........

to get the MP3, go to beemp3.com and search it....

[bacon2889]

@keith138 How did you get the MP3 of this song.

[keith138]

@bacon2889 Go to 'beemp3.com', search the song, download the irish descendants version....

[EXTREMEHACKERZ4]

@theHawKV02 fuck off

[EXTREMEHACKERZ4]

@theHawKV02 this is dave by the way lloyd you lifer stop laughing a stuff i look at you gay back off from me and daf

[EXTREMEHACKERZ4]

omg i so want to go to nova scotia :D 

[nevjay100]

I reckon that it's the Dubliners singing the song - that sounds a lot like Ronnie Drew's voice to me.

I also have very fond memories of NS - I spent two summers there almost 20 years back and loved the place.

[scotiamesh20022000]

I too, was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Moved to Ontario 51 years ago, 'home' - Nova Scotia, is still in my blood, gotta be the sea and the people, nothing better or prettier. I still 'wanna go home' .. I guess that's not Anne Murry singing (??) 'tho she did a great job on it. Been coast to coast and still miss good ole Nova Scotia ...

[meljpetra]

Farwell 2 Nova Scotia With Amazing ~ ~ ~ Sea-Nery ! <:



[GrrrIamMad]

I was born here, lived there for a few months, then moved. I only visit once every year or two. But It's still home.

[MercuryWahWah]

This isn't Great Big Sea. Allen Doyle sucks. hahaha.

[zodiac09]

i am born and raised in nova scotia. i remember in music class we had to sing this song a lot. it was fun

[Ian74263]

Every time I go to N.S., I swear, it's a state in the U.S. itself. Go to Peggy's Cove, there's hardly anyone from anywhere else in Canada ('cept N.B., P.E.I. & N.L.). Look at all the plates, "New York", "Massachusetts", "New Jersey", "Maine", "Vermont", "New Hampshire"... Maine is not America's Vacationland, Nova Scotia is.

[zodiac09]

@Ian74263 Yeah a lot of tourists come here, that is a fact. there will be less from maine now though, with the cat ferry no longer running. but i guess they can always come through new brunswick.

[GoldStarUmbreon]

The artist is "Great Big Sea."

[districk34]

the irish rovers sang this one

[iraqattack665]

SERIOUSLY: NO ONE KNOWS THE ARTIST OF THIS VERSION? that blows

[lesleyburt]

I remember having to learn this song in Grade 4, LOL. Great pictures. :D

[PlayBoyMaster44]

the artist for this song is "Great Big Sea"



[adennehy]

Has anybody figured who the singer is yet? Ive heard this version before and Im nearly sure its a an Irish group.

[shawnhimmelman]

can't someone find out who this is ? i'm from mahone bay and i love this tune and luckily i have a good version of this but still don't know who it is.

[CanadiaMiliatry15]

I was born and lived in Nova Scotia I now live in BC and I miss home every day.

[Senna4ever8]

My mistake for posting it as Stan Rogers.

It's a nice recording though, would like to figure out who it is...:\

[ecksca]

@Senna4ever8

I've seen the band labeled as 'Newfoundland Kitchen Party'.

[porthooder61]

I miss Home a lot. These songs are bringing tears to my eyes. I miss everyone there.. Port Hood is my home Town but i guess anywhere on the Island is GREAT.

[IanPritchard1988]

Oh jesus, I miss home!!

[keithparlee138]

really want to know who this is, heard a version very cloase to it, same voice, only good version i've heard.

[davidgillis25]

Stan Rogers

[chargerdan]

Nice video, but that's not Stan Rogers.

[blackfrancis55]

No big deal, but the guy below is most definitely right. This is not Stan Rogers.

[johnduffboy]

My family comes from here originally, and I've always wanted to go there, and I will 1 day.

[Alan7997]

One of the best places in the world :)

[stifflermse]

the white boaton the flats whith no tide around it was taken in Advocate harbour Nova scotia god bless her and i miss home i'm in the army and posted to edmonton ab

[Senna4ever8]

@stifflermse

My family is also from that area, New Salem to be exact. I live in New Brunswick now.

[blacklabel1984]

i am from nova scotia, the annapolis valley in fact. i live in alberta now but i miss ns so much

[BenAliGtor]

I'd rather vacation in Nova Scotia & the Maritimes than Hawaii, ANY time.

[chengloki]

The pull of the sea. You don't understand what it is to be a Sailor. The sea is the Earth's life blood. We range the Earth's blood. Sailors have been "Green" before it was ever thought of. We don't give a damn about "Buzz Words". We do what is right!! Mama ocean knows. =Stefan=

[suestev07]

doesn't sound like stan rogers to me

[Myskatevids]

It is..

[blackfrancis55]

It is not. Check it out for yourself. I am a fan and own most of Stan's stuff. He never recorded Farewell to Nova Scotia, and anyway that is most definitely not him singing. Stan's most famous N.S. connection songs are Barret's Privateers and Bluenose. And I am from Nova Scotia, Stan however was not. He spent summers with family there though.

[robichj]

I just moved here from Ontario.

I love it here, it's very beautiful.

[WeskJago]

ah dammit! how come you got so lucky??! i had to move to ontario from halifax! i hate ontario! i wanna come back!! not fair!!

[makemusicnotwar2]

[makemusicnotwar2]

[puissse]

i really wanna go to the Maritimes. I am from Ontario and never saw the rest of Canada.

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

I've never been past Saskatchewan (I live in Edmonton) so count yourself lucky... at least stuff happens in Ontario!

[Appleye]

im from nova scotia, moved to edmonton 3.5 years ago.. beleive me, its two different worlds, you gotta go see the east.

[germanssgirl]

[aceofhicks]
