EDDI READER - "My Love is Like a Red Red Rose"

[AndiHummingbird]

Robbie Burns is smiling down on her right now

[DitchBiscuit]

You should never change Robbie Burns words.

[Uefafreek]

@DitchBiscuit i noticed it too. she sings very well, i admit. but changing the words of a great poet has no purpose.

[Lightena]

We listened it at our English lesson...It's so beautiful!

[baddad250r1]

as always, Eddie does another Burns song great justice, the song tells my story well eh Nereida!

[SuzanneLW]

For you Pete. I will love you forever. So upset you've left me. Sue

[LowellGallin]

Marvelous! Marvelous song, marvelous voice. Just sent this to my wife, who is far away from me in Jerusalem now (I'm in White Plains, N.Y., visiting my parents). Reminds me of the Good Old Days (Past AND Future) when I was a member of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society/Delaware Valley Branch, at Swarthmore College (1974-1978).

[ckwrich1]

Wen't to see her in concert last night. On tour around the UK right now.

[rosesmurf]

[roverlux]

Her voice is beautiful combination of fine Champagne and warm honey

[rirover]

For you linny. Forever. David

[cocochanelleke]

[3toons]

How could anyone dislike Eddi's version of this song? It's perfect!

[LizAndyMovieWatcher]

the 10 people that disliked this are crazy how could you not like this

[zigmunds1000]

[MartynFolkSinger]

I am spellbound - what a voice, and what delivery of the Bard's work.

[MsBlu2011]

Sublime, there's such beauty & spirit in her voice. x

[FAWNMAIDEN]

it would bring the sweetness of angels.......

[risabe]

My Scot blood just gave me chills from the listenin of this song.

Miss you, Grandaddy McDuffie.

[scotsmaninusa]

[spiderlashes36]

[TheGuitarjerry1126]

[desertwarriorpoet]

Pity the fat arrsed chav in the background ruins the video !!!

[rnr5682]

congrats Eddi, on getting engaged.

[sweetgypsywife]

Gorgeous voice.....

[headmacsporran]

What key is this sung in? :)

[kimosabelarry]

@headmacsporran She's playing it in E

[999madjock]

this song means so much to me i love it for special reasons rip grandad

[NicArgent9]

That's just gorgeous... it's not the version/tune I was looking for, but I had to sit and listen because she's simply amazing. The hikers in the background around minute 1:30 are funny, though :)

[xScenexOreoCookiex]

This song always makes me cry <3

[costumecowgirl]

ugh

[forestdweller68]

Beautiful- Eddi interprets Robbie Burns so well!

[calboy64]

magic

[shilptwo]

My Love is Rose Madder, it is a colour don't you know? So deep in love am I........

[eihwazone]

@shilptwo .....i know exactly how you feel.....so deep in love am i as well.....

[shilptwo]

@eihwazone My Love, you are the colour...

[LilacSilky]

Eddie sang at the opening of Scottish Parliament, she is recognized as a Scots "gem" but sadly not by too many Scots or ex-pat Scots.

[rawrimaprick]

i swear if people get any more dramatic than they already are in the comments section, i'ma puke.

[barrach7]

@rawrimaprick

Rawimaprick...I love you, I truly turly love you. More than the morning, rosey mist, through which gleaming doves arise to Heavenly skies and.....want a bucket...?

[rawrimaprick]

@barrach7 you misspelled truly, cunt. :P

[barrach7]

lololol...oh dear! It tried! All it can note is a typo...and when it was spelt correctly only the word before!lol

FANTASTIC! MORE please rawmaprick...MORE!!lol

[rawrimaprick]

@barrach7 there's usually a space between lol(s) and question mark(s) to indicate it's being a new word, cunt. :P

[barrach7]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear....! Barrell? Scraping....? Relevance....? (P.S: You forgot a full stop capital letter etc. in your 'retort' (though, ifanress, you DID remember your masturbation break....!)

Well done Kapitan Pendant!

[barrach7]

Rawmaprick:

In fairness, at least you attempted to give a coherent, human, relavant answer. However, I suppose it's all relative...! So beyond pity, I offer you my congratulations. Well done lad, well done!

[rawrimaprick]

@barrach7 I fail to comprehend what you're going on about.

[barrach7]

I know. Don't worry.

[Nyarl3]

Hey, who's that walking around back there?!?!?! GET 'EM!!!!

[djforde]

this woman has a georgeous voice

[Alston1947]

I only regret that I am just now discovering this amazing singer. She has one of the purest, clearest voices of anyone anywhere. Thank you Eddi for sharing your wonderful gift with us.

Bill Cheek, Ross, CA

[noshearth]

SO beautiful.....This is a very old favourite song and I cant tell you what it means to have a version of it that is so lovely. Its just perfect...

[altic68]

[sofarsogut]

[OldHowlingHound]

[clarebannerman]

Lovely rendition ♪♫ 5*****

[ihateFFX]

does any one have tab

[rnr5682]

she uses DADGAD and capo, of course--the chords are G Am7 Em7 D G Am7 C D G -very beautiful song. i think this is why bob dylan had to leave minnesota,--he was indicted for murdering this song

[Mr9111950]

....was'nt the only he murdered...that said, wrote some great songs......enjoyed the humour.......has'nt eddie a beautiful voice...love to hear her sing this masterp[iece without guitar....she dos'nt need it..

[shazam15]

her voice is only beautiful when she's not singing in english. it works that way sometimes, you know?

[neacht]

Nice enough - but not a patch on the version recorded by Kathryn Tickell and Corinna Hewett on "The Sky Didn't Fall".

[PeelTower]

I remember winter in Belgrade. Your fresh cheek on my lips whilst dogs lay in doorways, content with gifts from soft Serbian hearts. I remember winter in Belgrade. Cmok.

[lilacton]

the tune is not correct but getting there..

[juiceybee]

this is realli nicely sung! great job

[Tonyrcan]

Love your rendition- thank you

[dyking]

beautifull

[Rikki0]

Well, my favorite version is by Andy Stewart but I have to say, this one put a great big smile on my face. Very pretty.

[blueyun08]

my favourite robert burns' poem

and now to have the chance to hear the song

--wonderful!

[beuntoyourname]

Check out Eddi's performance this year at Celtic Connections. She's really brilliant. Don't think she could get any better.

[Macangusagain]

A delightful rendition of one of the greatest Burn's pieces,I'm sure the bard would be pleased. It uplifted me, and put a smile on my heart, for which I give thanks ! Alba Go Bragh

[lunaticaenlaluna]

Preciosa canción y la cantas muy bien, ¡'excepcional

[lilacton]

si si es preciosa

[bhallaich]

i was never an edi reader fan but she truly found her true voice when she took on burns.....gaun yersel the wee lass frae the southside

[DMB31122008]

amazing song..

[llibmahargtube]

A beautiful song, beautifully sung, by a beautiful young lady! Thank you!

[BrightonBabe]

I'm walking down the aisle to this song in a few weeks! hurrah!

[bumchiner]

congrats, listen to another burns song the lea rig its on here too

[gourdonboy]

Bless you. Have a great day.

[BrightonBabe]

Thank you! :)

[Cronopioslover274]

@BrightonBabe Best wishes for you, you certainly chose a lovely song!

[pammycowan]

@BrightonBabe we signed the register to this ! Awesome! kleenex moment!

[ravsandhu1]

@BrightonBabe great choice & congrats

[BrightonBabe]

@ravsandhu1 Thanks! Been 2 years now and still makes me shed a tear when I hear it. Beautiful song. Wish Eddi would play Brighton :(

[GourmetGuerilla]

@BrightonBabe A beautiful tune by Robbie Burns which was originally a poem to love.

May you ever feel that which is within you. Sometimes we can't distinguish what is true or not.

This song's performance for instance is a sham. It was neither written or sung as original.

Truth rings like a bell, there is no mistaking the sound.

This is not true, do not fall for second place.

[l10vry]

i am going to see/hear eddi tonite at the magnum scotland canny wait

[DeclanMax]

love this song ...this singer

[voetjz]

learn how to lipsing :s

[pebz1212]

watch her sing it live before you diss her! she's amazing and no lip syncing involved - maybe you just got a bad edit!

[jeaniegomez]

Beautiful! Is this down the shore at Culzean Castle?

[nersolitario]

can't stop myself coming back to this page and listen to this voice again and again. thank you.

[upyerkilt123]

aye no bad at all. Thought she should have just sung at aly and phils concert instead of talking, she is better at singing than talking. But so impressed with the songs I have now got 3 of her cd's, rabbie burns one is the best.

[nanefy]

Eddi Reader is simply amazing. She is my favourite singer of all time and she is even more amazing in concert. She has the voice of an angel and is a true asset to Scotland.

This song and her voice always bring a tear to my eye.

Simply beautiful!

[nersolitario]

wonderful song! but i wish those two people at 01:30 would not appear on the screen...

[weeweelegs]

your a bonny  lass , great

[freshinit]

What a girl. What a singer

[bguwripabuip]

Let's say for a second, that someone were to make a rock/thecno ish version of this song featuring a dude with a really steriotype scotish accent? could it be considered insulting?

[smileyfreak23]

music defies all boundaries. if you truly want to have a shot at remaking this song because you love the music then go for it:) dont bother bout the haters.they have no life.well they'd probably have one(literally speaking) considering that they're still here taking up the precious little oxygen we have left.but whatever.

[smileyfreak23]

damn isnt this supposed to be sub-categorised as a reply or smth? pfft:(

[moominpic]

if you don't have a ral Scots accent then don't us one. Unlike many of Burns works this one is writtn pretty much "in English", as opposed to hard Scots. If you sang it in English you wouldn't be changing too much of the lyric.

[usaf2020]

tugs at my heart sings, and plays love like a true melody. I wept until I had no more tears, then played it once more for the sheer joy!

[homousios]

This is beautiful and the poetry is so lovely. I love it. Thanks

[radge21]

Watch the youtube video of Eddi Reader singing at the opening of the new Scottish Parliament building.

It was a fantastic day for Scotland.

Made all the more special with the beautiful songs Eddi sang. "So proud to be Scottish"

[captainstrong0]

Beautiful

[ceresSEREC]

my love's like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June;

O my love's like the melodie

That's sweetly play'd in tune As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I;

And I will love thee still, my dear,

Till a' the seas gang dry.

[ceresSEREC]

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi' the sun;

O I will love thee still my dear,

While the sands o' life shall run. And fare-thee-weel, my only love!

And fare-thee-weel awhile!

And I will come again my love,

Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile! O my love's like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June;

O my love's like the melodie

That's sweetly play'd in tune

[dxhty]

My Daddy, he's a cankered carl,

he's nae twin with his gear...

(original words)

[radge21]

A brilliant singer and a brilliant song.

Listen to her album Eddi Reader sings the songs of Robert Burns it is wonderful.

Scotland should promote Eddi Reader better.

She is fantastic.

[freshinit]

is it not blackpool or ibitha......shusssh...shut up and listen

[01475freedom]

Eddi, you are a true singer singer. I love your voice. Your range is phenominal.Come on tour to Tucson, Arizona, will you please?

[johnpar70]

Eddi is anational treasure.

[mcjock1983]

robert burns is brilliant

[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.

[ceresSEREC]

Thanks

[janetteloiseau]

How did she get the sync together as this is a studio recording? the only time she falters is with the guitar work at the very end--she forgot to play a bit---wonderful though---I just was so amazed at how well she did this amazing feat.

Linda x

[freshinit]

sweetness comes

[Derventio74]

Wonderful!

[keller1969]

very nice duet on this with brian kennedy too on his on song 2 cd

[222ferrett222]

kenneth mckellar is tha king a rock n rool hyi lad

[jimdext]

Dinna rush to praise this lass until ye've heard Kenneth McKellar sing it.

[Rousel12]

Aye, she's LOVELY! =) Does anyone know whereabouts in Scotland (I suppose) this was filmed?

[celticgurrl]

I believe this is filmed on Salisbury Craggs in Edinburgh

[Rousel12]

Thanx, C-Gurrl! =)

[grandmagrumpy]

Very nice!

I read that this is one of the songs that Paul Potts has selected to sing when he comes to Scotland. Maybe the two of them singing a duet? I'd like that,

[Ve4Vendetta]

The voice of an angel and the timeless words of an unsung hero, what could be more powerful, evocative or touching. Thanks for the vid. dayfornight - 'awesome' (as I never say!!)

[NO1CLANNADFAN]

A LOVELY SONG FROM A SCOTTISH GEM

[isabellle87]

c'est vraiment magnifique! Eddi a une voix superbe!

[dearone1]

absolutely beautiful. she is fantastic x

[dpgreeneye]

heartaching beautiful song - and no one sings it like Eddi Reader does - with such a heartfelt simplicity and her beautiful voice...this is a jewel and will forever be...Rabbie Burns would not only smile he would love her too...

[dearone1]

i love eddi reader, she is fantastic...she has such an amazing, beautiful voice ^_^

[johncomms]

Gone hen!

[WilfSpeaks]

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and Eddi's devine vocal pays it due justice, i'm sure Rabbie Burns is smiling when he hears her sing it.You'd have to have a heart of pure stone not to be melted by this song and songstress.

[sellack]

A beautiful song sung by an exquisite singer

[ScottishSnareBear]

If Robert Burns Could Hear Eddi's Lovely Version She Would Be Another Notch On His Bedpost?? Beautiful Song,Beautiful Singer & Beautiful Woman!

[talldark22]

To Andy and Marge. Till aw the seas gang dry x

[ferrispoint]

This is WONDERFUL! what an amazing song and eddis voice is just incredible.Thanks for this.Wish she would put her live shows on dvd for us fans.

[duncs21]

brilliant! i ahve to sing this song for my sisters wedding - should help my practice to listen to this. Big range -wowzer!

[DeborahYoung]

Great video ! Thanks for sharing it !

[GWIII]

Sadly, I never knew there were any videos from the Burns album. Sadly, that is, until now. THANK YOU for posting...
