Mull Of Kintyre ~ Song "Mull Of Kintyre"

[BiboTheBudgie]

fantastic song



[Seattlecarnut]

Beautiful song!

[TheManWhoLovesToRock]

I love Scotland and this song! There needs to be more songs like this in Rock music, songs that are heavily influenced by Folk culture.

[Seahorsefan]

What is a mull? Is it like a sound, bay, or inlet? Can someone please tell me.

[lavyheed69]

@Seahorsefan Mull is the second largest island of the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. :)

[briterhorizons2011]

A great tribute song to be played including the video footage for my mothers funeral.

This is a testament to her long ago Scottish Ancestry. Family and friends will love the images that mum & dad saw on their 2 trips to Scotland and then over to dad's side in Ireland. Love the song and the images are great too.

I can't FIND Jim Leggett anywhere is what I tried to write. I was a disc-jockey- he was a photo-journalist with a great family. If you ever see this Jim, I'm still in south Florida. Your Friend, STAN SALONY

[Originaluncleagent]

A long-lost friend named Jim Leggett introduced me to this song. I can't Jim ANYWHERE, so his Spirit lives in this song. Thank you, Jim...STAN SALONY

this song will handily keep in step to the march of time

[woody2327]

Great song!

Thank you, they call me Mr. Tibbs.

[schristopfel]

@woody2327  who's mr. tibbs?

[cjs2327]

@schristopfel Play on words. There was a movie made in the '60's and a line in it was "They call me Mr. Tibbs."

[dcconsi]

for vol. mcilhenny

[immortalcelsius]

I remember this as a child. in New Zealand. I must have been 5. I stopped in my tracks..and listened to the words...forever it changed me into a better person. made me see the beauty of New Zealand...my home- which is a lot like Scotland.

[fleetwood1111]

@dransfield23 YOU are everything that is bad about the internet. Sad, lonely, bitter and you can't spell. I'm sure you'll have a lovely life.

[dransfield23]

@fleetwood1111 sorry my bad spellings never been my strong point x

[fleetwood1111]

@dransfield23 sorry there was no need to have a go at you, I need to relax more

[MrAleduke]

Perfection

[710joan]

I was born in Tarbert, Loch Fyne; now living in Canada for 40years. Have travelled much and Argyll is still the most beautiful place in the world. I was" home" this year and wish I could have stayed!

Beautiful music; thank you Paul. I remember when you lived on the farm.

Scotland Forever.

[rpetrics]

I would love to be in a bar right now listening to this song. It wouldn't get any better than that.

[SuperFCA1907]

I love this song :)

[RoslynJoyJohnson]

The panorama from above Saddell is one of the best in the U.K.

[jacquelinejohnson321]

Great song and video

[L4WL0RZ]

Love the bagpipes. Hell yeah, they rule..

[B0nnie93]

oh man. ich mags. *-*

*lalala..* :)

[rebecca4bronco]

The beauty of the song and the place makes me want to cry/

[schristopfel]

Did McCartney write this or Denny Laine?

[Mattysmyth0593]

@schristopfel Both.

[Ganjateer88]

oh c'mon, who could honestly not like this song..?

pure bliss.

[Farandahl]

@Ganjateer88 For myself, I love this song, its beautiful. But you have to admit that not everyone is a fan of the bagpipe. As a matter of fact, I used to get rid of people blasting music I didn't like outside my window by putting on an album (yes, I'm that old lol) of bagpipe music and putting the speakers in the window. It drowned them out and scared them away while I got to listen to music I liked. :D

[bobu46]

mrtibbs6912

Sorry that I forgot to thank you for your wonderful pics of the Mull and Scotland - simply great !

[babybookworm003]

well i would have to think kyntire was in scotland considering they play the bag pipes in the middle of the song

[iloveknitting1]

just beautiful. nothing compares to this

[bobu46]

Better than his (great) Beatle songs - great !!

Thanks !

[codycobourg]

this song has always been amazing, and well, I get goosebumps everytime i hear it.......

[floydmatt987]

This was played at my grandfather's funeral last year. Our clan are originally from Kintyre. Can't help but tear up hearing it.

[kintyrelad]

Can't believe the Scottish Government is thinking/talking about infilling the Machrihanish Bay with 127 wind turbines?..Unbelievable!!

[chrissie2556]

Nov 1977 to Dec 2006.... Great Job! Great People !!

[Veggieman87]

@chrissie2556 I'm afraid I don't know what you're referring to.

[vduron1]

This song has a very special meaning for me. Her name was "Candy"

[veronicadekrey]

I always love this song and its awesome to listen to it whilst viewing the beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. Veronica from Hong Kong

[vaneglorius]

[zappator]

beautiful, but it must be cold.

[DevelPirat]

very beautiful song

[towpin]

I love this melody, it's one of me favorites. Newfoundland has an mixture of Scottish, Irish & English descents all gathered on one island in the middle of the North Atlantic off Canada's East Coast. Beautiful song.

[keeptreel]

grandfather Scottish- a Blackburn, bagpipes always give me goosebumps he he

[tonykiddin]

é a fháil ceart suas yees lol

[crazyozzyking]

[goodgawdalmighty]

@crazyozzyking You dislike Scotland? That's good coming from a moosefucker.

[LilNicz94]

@crazyozzyking oh that's a plan. saying you dislike scotland on a site where loads of scottish people can see it. gid een batman. shut the hell up.

[kr0niXz]

@crazyozzyking asshole

[randyandy1960]

it's not fair that the beatles felt so much beauty in their songs and were able to be

masters at putting that beauty into music......I would give up a year of my life to have

been able to write and sing this song......

[2010tnarg]

i'm gonna drink till im gahndi

[lynmimath]

thank you for this song. My father's family are Scottish and when he died, we played this at his funeral. So thank you for allowing me to listen to it again.

[31193JaH]

@lynmimath

this is a great song to play at a funeral. so happy, optimistic etc.

[EvilKris]

@lynmimath that's nice. bet that was bloody tearful though, jesus. made me sad to read that comment.

[Lakota1810]

Great Great song

[derekjtbone]

I found this song on "the best of wings" Imagine that. Uncle Albert, Admiral Halsey.

But no one ever left behind 1985 would ever do. She may be right she may fine, she may get love but she wont get mine. Peace and love when I hear this song.

[derekjtbone]

We listen to this when we are hammered....

mull of kntyre

[maceain]

is maith liom an ceol seo ar fad... nach bhfuil é go an mhaith.

[jonnytightpants]

wings....only the band the beatles COULD HAVE been

[Bitzebatze]

as so I come from the unproudest country ever ( after WW II), I have really close friends in Scotland and I know they were really proud about there Country and they should, they settled were no englisch foot ever should be stepped. Its Scotland and since 1314 the Scots were treated very badly, so I understand some hatred and I hope the flag will be the only on Edinbrough Castle some day.

Alba gu brath

[jaquesTNT]

@Bitzebatze Songwriter of this beautiful song is Paul Mccartney and even if he got a scotish famelyname, he is an English man like the rest of the Wings. I've work two years in the civilian corps from the British Army of the Rhine end of the 80's. and 6 month I was in Dortmund with the Heavy Artellery, a completly Scottish regiment. I know about the rivalisme between them but 'real hate' doesn't exist anymore. The U,k's based about a brother relation. and some idiots you find everywhere..

[jaquesTNT]

@Bitzebatze By the way, nothing is wrong with Germany, once of the best countrys in Europe. Unproud? about what?Great Britain killed 10 times more people on this planet as Germany in World War II

Each country has a dirty past but the winner decides the history lessons in school.

So it works.

[LVEMEDO]

MY HOMELAND

[Ciaran31]

Yeats is it not.

[schristopfel]

Does Paul know the difference between a deer and a cow?

[Judy8485]

great

[laloisaac]

lovely !!!

[babystinky]

Paul was a very unique person. I can't think of anyone with this type of musical ability, really was given something very special, from his clear ringing voice, to melodies that defy imagination and that people still sing daily around the globe.

[kermitefrog64]

Very beautiful scenery. It reminds me of the hills and mountains in our area of California during the winter and spring but after that it just drys up.

[VictrolaJazz]

What a beautiful and evocative song!

[sbd650]

Amazing! 5*****!

[Spanglemaker42]

just like I dreamed it to be. Thanks for posting:)

[teafather5]

Super video, Nice pics, Thanks for sharing mrtibbs6912 . . .

[comoxian]

I just watched the Celtic Thunder version of this... (yawn!) Paul's is sooo much better. It has meaning for Paul. For CT it's just a song with bagpipes that they can play. I just imagine the life and travels Paul had, the mountains & valleys, the deserts, everything, and then to remember the peace of this place. Great stuff. Thanks for the post.

[pigsbishop99]

Why does this video start with the Scottish flag? Can anyone explain it? Don't say it's because the island is in Scotland. There are loads of videos about places in England, Wales etc that don't start with the country flags. Why do Scots always have to make an issue of it?

[chkjns]

@pigsbishop99 - it's just a symbol of nationalistic or regional pride, many in the US display a license plate for theit state on the front of their vehicles. I grew up in the south and had a confederate flag on my car for many tears. I am ashamed of the racial bias, and worse, still very evident in the south, yet, I grew up there and there is also much to be proud of. Sometimes it's tough to live in a 'conquered' land when those who beat you don't seem very nice to you.

[BeatlesFan1962]

its just a picture...

a big part of th song is the setting in the lyrics, so what if it starts with the flag? big deal

[atkinsm0607]

@pigsbishop99 cause there daft just leave them be ahah!!

[NorthLimitation]

Well, first of all Kintyre isn't an island. Secondly, who cares? There's a certain level of irony in your statement that the Scots are always the ones to make an 'issue of it', considering you seem to be the only person to complain about this so far.

[mrlaymansterms1]

@pigsbishop99 It's a song about a peaceful place in Scotland where Paul McCartney settled. Yes we Scots are proud of our flag(s). Go to Texas and see how many Texas flags you see about, or Nebraska and see how many "N" flags you see. It' called pride PIG. What an absolutely absurd comment you wrote, I can only hope that you entire life is not ived in a dark area.

[pigsbishop99]

@mrlaymansterms1 The fact that you call me a pig tells me what sort of person you are. Nevertheless, I'll be reasonable even when dealing with the unreasonable.

I can understand people being proud of running a marathon, writing a great novel, creating a new medical treatment etc but pride in a flag that's weird. That's jingoism nationalism etc and one of the reasons why the world is in the state it is.

Actually it sounds like you inhabit a 'dark area' of hatred for the english.

[mrlaymansterms1]

@pigsbishop99 I did not call you a pig, it was just short for the name that you picked. Should the author of the satanic bible be more proud than a countryman of his flag? Or the creator of a medicine that clears yellow toenails be more proud, when his medicine might send a taker into a deep depression? Please be more specific

[royaly77]

the celtic thunder version is better

[kaziko2732]

your buggin ive never heard it but nothing is better than this song

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

Macca-nificent

"Bonnie Scotland "

[ggialla]

Great song! Great locations! and the best...PAUL!!!

[Dunielu]

this song doesn't need any "beatz" because it is supposed to sound like this.

By the way it is a very beatiful song. Always gets me dreaming.

Very nice photos. Good Job

[schristopfel]

@Dunielu how about he stick to UK affairs and not those of America

[MrRadioGypsy]

I found our recently while reading Paul's biography, that this song sold almost as many copies of this record as he did with the Beatles 'She Loves You'. Must be very popular in Ireland. Never heard it until I checked it out here...

[Miiiiccccceeeeyy]

ireland? .. this is scotland :L

[seonidh]

@Miiiiccccceeeeyy omg did someone actually think this was about ireland lol.....how very plastic paddy of them.

[ewrpex]

The song is about a region of Scotland, not Ireland. Please don't be the ugly American by not even making the slightest attempt to understand the geography of another country..

[MrRadioGypsy]

It was early in the morning when I wrote that post. It was a brainf**t - is all. I thought Scotland -and wrote Ireland- it was a simple mistake is all. For that matter, my family name is a member of the Clan Buchanan. Yes; it was mistake - i'm not soft. Nice song...

[damyankee425]

wow is it really still like this, being from us i'm used to being lied to, have to come see this place wow

[TeelyD]

one of the all-time biggest hits in Ireland...

[7071t6]

the best shot is at 4.11 cheers, good song.

[Mcborregal]

Nada mal para alguien que es del genero rock!

[jack4843]

Scotland would be great if it didn't have all the scots people there

[Haggis2me]

But it does, and so may it ever remain!

Scot or Gael, Highlander or Lowlander - far better than any sassunaich

[NorthLimitation]

Up the Gaelic! :)

[Anja3571]

asshole!

[GerryItaly]

moron

[GerryItaly]

ALBA GU BRATH

[holidayinlofoten]

The scenery looks like the Lofoten one...well, Scotland once was? a part of North Norway...?

Me, with ancestors from Scotland, I certainly love Scotland; has always been drawned to Scotland, long before that I learned to know from a genologist that I am from the Lochard familiy in Scotland....

[Haggis2me]

>> part of North Norway...?

Or was Norway once the southern part of Scotland?  All in the perspective, I guess.

Now if the Scots could only evict our current southern neighbors!

[jack4843]

now that would be something if you could evict them

[karimmatlin]

WELL DONE

mrtibbs

[sevenells]

does anyone know if the town shown at 4 minutes is the town of Tarbert?

[PETEINGA]

Yes thats tarbert

[sevenells]

that is so cool, we were there over 30 years ago and knew the people who owned the Blue house in video., Robert Ross & his wife & I think their son's name was Bruce. They had a little antique shop there and I beleive Paul and his first wife used to shop in there. We are from the east coast of Canada and went to Scotland for a honeymoon. My father in law did some work for the Canadian Dept. of Fisheries years before that and met Robert and became good friends wit him. Tks for your quick reply.

[growamitt]

@sevenells Very small world. I, too, am from the Maritimes. My father worked for the Department of Fisheries (later the Department of Fisheries and Oceans) for nearly 30 years before he retired. He and my step-mother travelled to Scotland, England, and France in the '90s. It's rare for me to see anyone mention they're from this region, so I had to give a shout "hello".

[sevenells]

@growamitt . Thank you for your hello. Always love to hear from fellow Maritimers.

[McTeno]

No, that's Tobermory, Isle of Mull

[OasisShmoasis]

Could have sworn that was the Mull of Timperley.

Maybe not. I can't see the shops.

[johnlennonrocks1]

Geeze man, lots of fighting here....I think this is an awesome song and I just wanna go home....please don't ahnialate me all you angry people...PEACE MAN.... Some respect would be nice for Sir Paul....

[phfrankh]

"Far have I travelled & much have I seen"...

[Mr125647]

fuck tibbs south lost the war u want to be confederat

[phfrankh]

What,s a confederate? I just like the lyrics and the tune, don't you? (;-)

[Ohio717]

Shut Up Oasis Shmoasis Irishmen scum.

Go fuck yourself Irish shit from a African Scottish Women here in Ohio

[OasisShmoasis]

Hello to you too! Lovely to hear from you...

[tonytigerrrgomes]

Och - what the hell's wrong with you??

Not only do you sound like a complete and insane pig, but its hard to understand what it is that you are actually saying. What do the Irish have to do with it? Are you an 'African Scottish women', and if so - are you more than 1 person (women), or just suffering from a identity crisis? And what's this bit about Ohio - who the hell cares about Ohio? Come to think of it - you manage to squeeze more crap into a few words than anyone else on YouTube. aaaarh!!!

[kentamitchell]

Ohio? Don't knock it if you haven'ti tried it. :)

Maybe *somebody* need to switch to decaf.

[OasisShmoasis]

This is a total ripoff of "Mull of Timperley" by Frank Sidebottom (probably also somewhere on YouTube), which is a MUCH better song....

[OasisShmoasis]

Ooooh, what an angry chap you are! Goodness gracious me!

I think you are confusing performance dates with songwriting dates. Frank Sidebottom's famed Royal Variety performance of "Mull of Timperley" was indeed in 1987. But Frank wrote the song with Denny Laine's sister in a car park in Glasgow in 1967 after eating a dodgy kebab and feeling a little homesick. It's all in the "Encyclopedia of Rock" Volume 12... and who am I to argue with such a source?

[ilykwawawiwa]

ohhh city ground oh mist rollling in from the trent my desire is always to be ohh citttyy grounnd

[newfiebygarge]

Didn't they have a Macartney young fella or something as a lead singer?lol!!! kidding.love Sir Paul on this one.

[Rosannemorens]

[harrychown1989]

I'm English but LOVE visiting Scotland.

I think it's a beautiful area of Britain and the people are colourful!

I don't know why there is so much sourness. I love England and Englands scenery and our traditions and I love Scotlands also.

I wish people would stop being arseholes about it all.

[Labaron26]

Beautiful video and song from the land of my Ancestors.....

[bluesmills]

Amen

[lorichet]

Beautiful song and pictures of Scotland.  Thanks.

[bobsrotor]

I loving to love this song.

Childhood memories plus.

Thank you

[JackAwful]

I'm half Norwegian, quarter Dutch, quarter Irish and this song resonates. Love the bagpipes and the great photos. It's a Celtic masterpiece and I think Linda encouraged him for some reason.

[DamGreek]

MOK was ignored in the USA. "Girlschool"

(B-side in the UK) was the A-side in the USA. Yet MOK has always made me nostalgic for something I've never been able to put my finger on. And 30+ years later I still love it, and realize what an amazing treasure it is, even now. Even to a "greek" like me. Released during "punk" & the Sex Pistols--Paul captured something which crossed all boundaries of music at the time. "God Save the Queen" & MOK got equal play on the jukeboxes I'm told.

[RightsForWhites2008]

Thanks for the video, I love that song, it is great to finally see the place!

[scatts38]

Im a Aussie born and bred ,and proud off my Scottish blood running through my veins .

[lucymcghee]

that castles great i love the room in it thats pitch dark...creepy but cool

[notts57]

Nottingham Forest use this as our anthem at the start of every game. Really does create a good atmosphere. definetly in the same class as "You'll Never Walk Alone"

[sfxrules]

McCartney is very good indeed.

[UgoIgo]

To All MSMers esp. Alfred the Singawon for 2009!!!

[GraafschapRulez]

I really love this song!! i sing it every day... but anyways... Im dutch.. and my friends and family say that i had to be scottish:P anyways... GREAT SONG!

[SuperNezzy]

Beautiful pictures, and gorgeous song! Wonderful video! :-)

[JSStryker]

Having spent two and a half years in Scotland I can assure you that the Mull is one of many breathtakingly beautiful spots around Scotland.

[Ebutioy]

Makes me cry... I promise I won't die without seeing the Mull of Kintyre...

[TheMcCartneyLegacy]

no one compares to Paul McCartney

[MattyBoy7777]

Great tune, love the video!

[zone46]

Good song, a bit repetitive though.

[scotlander1]

zone ....try living there .....now thats repetitive

[Btflmutant]

i went to the mull of kintyre with my family this summer, and i have never in my life seen a more beautiful place. this video made me want to cry because ive been to every place. no matter what i am moving here before i am thirty. great video.

[jjulie23]

Brilliant!!! When the bagpipes kick in its even better!!!

[cindyshealed]

I've loved it since the minute I saw the vid on Midnight Special in 1977. I bought it on the "flip" side of "Girls School" here in the US.  It STIRS my Irish and Scot blood.

[Irisheddy]

Mine also

[gentlegod1980]
