The Real Mckenzies - Ye Banks and Braes

The Real Mckenzies - Ye Banks and Braes
Ye banks and braes of bonnie doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair
How can ye chant ye tiny wee birds
And i sae weary and nae full o' care
Ye break me heart; ye birds that sing
That warble through the flowery thorn
Ye remind me of a departed joy
Departed forever tae never return

I've often roamed by bonnie doon
To walk by the ocean, the wind and the sky
And like the birdees that sing o' their love,
Sae fondly say did i of mine
With lightsome heart i spied a rose
So sweet and aglow on thorny tree
And my false love did steal that rose
And all she left me was but a thorn

all this purity in whos what is more of the same supremacy bullshit - little people trying to find any way possible to elevate themself over another. who gives a fuck. If i saw someone claiming to be Australian even if they were only loosely tied, i'd be happy that they were proud enough to embrace whatever it is that makes them so. i'm only first gen aus. i got Scottish, Irish, British blood in me. i'm happy of my ancestors origins and i'm happy with mine and i can embrace both.

This is ridiculous. I doubt that any of the people here claiming Scottish heritage think of it in the same manner as the ones complaining about "Plastic Scots". I'm an American. I know that. So do they.

However, I also know my heritage. I teach my kids about it, I attend the festivals, compete in the games. I'm not pretending to I live in Scotland. I'm celebrating what makes my family different from others. I can't change or deny where I was born but no one else can change or deny my heritage.

@neilmak i have never seen youtube block murder, kill or dead and in what way are they screwing it up plus hundreds of bands do they're own cover versions of songs, some are good, some are bad in my opinion this is good
