out of all the songs out there i chose to do my exam song on skye boat song

[tterevelytnom]

Look for "Sirens' Song" as the artist, and there is an album with this song, but you could also trying searching "Over the Sea to Skye", as I found it that way.

[agormanvideos]

Sorry if this offends anyone, but I see Scotland looks so much like Ireland. Both are uncomparably beautiful.

its thunder claps not thunder clouds

[Xx2cute4evaxX]

@zionzangel It's thunder clouds, we're singing this song in Chorus

[sarahedwards2]

Someday when I have children (way off in the future) If I ever have a daughter, I'm going to name her Katrine after the loch, and I'm going to sing her this song as a lullaby without the war verse.

[hitthatperfectbeat]

@sarahedwards2 The war verse? The whole song is about the second Jacobite rebellion and Charles Edward Stuart (the young pretender) fleeing to Skye to escape the massacre at Culloden.

Not quite. It's written by the Jacobites after their failed rebellion at the Battle of Culloden, and Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped to Skye by sea. It wasn't Scotland vs England, but Jacobites & France vs Britain.

Many of the British troops were actually Scottish themselves. :)

[floraenchantix9]

[DarkxEmoxLove]

@floraenchantix9 Haha so am I, its pretty fun 

[shazanne]

Beautiful Song,One Of My Grandad's Favourites xxx

[inuyasha42297]

very nice. thanks for the lyrics!

[scottishlassie1000]

@inuyasha42297 I first heard this song many years ago and I started crying immediately, although I did not hear the words. I found out the name of the song, looked up its words and its history and found out that Flora MacDonald, an ancestor of mine was the woman who helped Bonnie Prince Charles escape to the Isle of Skye from those who were planning to kill him at Culloden. My Great-grandfather and family came to Canada from Skye to Prince Edward Island. I would love to visit Scotland.

[hawickman]

@scottishlassie1000 You should come home of you heart. I am one little chap who will make you welcome

[letstorkbollocks]

@scottishlassie1000 Bonnie Prince Charles escape to the Isle of Skye from those who were planning to kill him at Culloden??????

It was war he started. You can hardly blame those he was trying to kill. After all he was trying to kill them. And although I think this is a beautiful song I think it is a real shame it is about a man as cowardly and inept as Charles Stuart.

[maurice]

@letstorkbollocks Agree totally. It was him who destroyed Scotland, and only in pursuit of the seat of power in London and of undoing all the democratic gains since 1688! Jacobitism is barmy romanticised authoritarianism.

There is another song to this tune which is nothing to do with the sodding Jacobites at all. But it's a church hymn, which also is not everyone's cup of wine. I think it's quite a nice gnostic spirity-ghosty song, not too religiously severe: it's called Spirit of God Unseen.

[Yakovlievich]

@letstorkbollocks Oh just enjoy the damn song will you!

[TheLovegirlie]

this is god song

[superstar1464]

I have to sing this song for Regionals this year. I absolutely love it!!!

[hsmusicalfanforever]

[inuyasha42297]
