90s teen & getting to see runrig with friends.. nicking (borrowing) the runrig tape more than once off my dad 😂 I have them on cds now 😆 & on various playlists
It's sad that 110 years later we are still killing each other! Two world wars, plus other conflicts! Why can't we just get on! Ignore politics and religion, politics is out for what they can get, religion! Not sure, every body has their own ideas and they always clash with somebody else. Maybe try to get along, respect other peoples views?
I've seen the sunlight shining on the valley I've seen the shadows darken on the deep I've seen the young men riding out for glory And broken in defeat There was an hour that never knew a gloaming The whole of life, enchanted in a day And we'll be there, forever in the places Where we used to be Passing the hedgerows, moving through the orchards Through the bocàge and breaking out for Caen Dealing fear and all our dices loaded With the courage of the dawn And some will rise and some will fall To gain the world or lose it all And that time was mine to hear you When you called You were our youngest, brightest flower Walking side by side through our darkest hour We'll take this cup, this portion evermore I've seen the last wave breaking on the beaches I've seen the angels crying on the wire I've seen the first star up and brightly shining Couldn't rise much higher Now we're waiting here not getting older But we can dream like we can not believe With all those fools, those great historic moments That flatter to deceive. And some will come and some will go To rise on wings in skies of gold Or to fall down to the final, silent cold When I was young it burned so bright The only son, a rising Christ Now I'm left here in the fall-out of that light The rise and fall The rise and fall The rise and fall The rise and fall The rise And fall
I’m a true Texan who was introduced to Runrig in 1991 while working in Ras Shuker, Egypt with a Scotsman named Paul McGin. My ancestors came to America from Scotland and Ireland prior in the early 1700s. When I hear Gaelic music it stirs something in my DNA and moves me in ways no other form of music can.
This song reminds me of James Clark who is still with us at the age of 99!! He was a Lovat Scout and landed on Sword Beach with his illustrious leader Lord Lovat known as Shimi. Jimmy told me what it was like to be there. He did not know a statue had been put up to Lord Lovat. I can still hear Jimmys comment on that,"It`s very like him indeed and i can see him standing there with his cromag" ( Shepards crook) You will not be forgotten Jimmy and i count it a privilege knowing you.
you really think sc otia has no voice ,you could not be more wrong,an roisin vbhan still exists and the toast slainte mhor is still oft preffered to slainte math
