First, this sounds like every national anthem I've ever heard. Then, why post a version without the words? Just sayin'. Last, and perhaps most important, this song (at least as it stands) is stultifying, not rousing. If you have to lose 'Flower of Scotland' (why?) then why not make the unofficial one official? Of course I mean the Proclaimers' wonderful "500 Miles". From a quick study here at youtube, apparently it's impossible to be too drunk at least to sing the chorus=lager louts at matches!
no likey this...it has too much pomp and ceremony........not stirring at the heart strings enough and actually can you see the boys ar rugby or footie singing this I don't think so..sorry
I am a supporter of Flower of Scotland. I think it's right we have an anthem that celebrates our history. And it's not anti-English: nowhere is there a reference to England or the English, just 'Proud Edward's Army'. It's about the people uniting to fight a tyrant. If it's not anti-German to celebrate the defeat of Hitler, it's not anti-English to celebrate the defeat of Edward. But the big selling point is that everyone already knows Flower of Scotland and will belt it out with passion.
Maybe its just me but from about 58 seconds on it sounds like a mix of auld Lang syne and a nation once again .I have to say I am English and removing politics aside I love the Scottish national anthem and the passion the Scots sing it with I personally think its irreplaceable.
naw it's a nice music but I like Flower of Scotland more rousing canny see the tartan Army singing this but it'll be good in it's place no an Anthem though.
I'm all for a free Scotland, but, I don't think we should change the anthem. The one we have is great and deals with the life journey from past to present. Move forward move free but never forget your past........
I think when Scotland becomes independent then we really do have to change our national anthem. Flower of Scotland is singing about the past and is kind of sad, but with independence we will need an upbeat positive anthem. Of course it just has to include bagpipes. I really liked your take on a new anthem but not so keen on the keyboard sounding part. The same tune but with a bit more bagpipes would be brilliant for our new anthem.
Not to my taste I'm afraid. . Self indulgent stuff at best. Not a National anthem in the sense that I can imagine a whole nation chanting ...and feeling.
