Driving in the highlands in Scotland, I told my then husband I could hear bagpipes. He said I was imagining it. Lo and behold, we rounded a corner, and there was a solid Scotsman, dressed in his kilt, against a backdrop of a snow topped mountain, with a little tartan stool beside him for donations, playing the bagpipes. I have a photo of me standing beside him. It was one of the highlights of my trip.
Whenever you're hunting will be with you now if you hear being high in the near future maybe your husband will not believe in you when you hear your beer and high😊😊❤
I am grieving. Not for someone I know. But someone who was lost today. A few people…5 year old kid and his father. It was a fire…wasn’t there but the news still hurts…
As a former FDNY I head this countless times post 911. Now retired Im learning the pipes. What an honor and privilege. It always hit home... RIP 343 and counting. Blessings
Thank you for everything that you did Sir. My Aunt worked in the south tower on the 18th floor. The plane would have hit right as she was taking the elevator up but she was 5 minutes late and is still living to this day.
@@AudieS23 Tnks ther. Much appreciate it. Is my job, duty and duty to act upon the need. I too lost that day 343 brothers n sisters. Still today post 911 keep loosing the battle. Glad to hear your aunt is well. Blessings and lets keep piping "even if is noise" lol.
May be few months late but you have my upmost respect. The 343 lives lost will be remembered dying in the line of duty and sacrificing their own lives to Save others. 🥺
My dad, a veteran, recently died of Covid-19 (as well as my mother). Amazing grace was played on the bagpipes at the funeral and it was the most majestic sound I ever heard. My heart deeply aches over the loss, but those bagpipes take me to another plain, where I can find peace and feel their presence.
A similar thing happened to my grandmother, her funeral was truly majestic and beautiful with the sound of bagpipes accompanying her to heaven. Your dad is in a better place now, much love 🦋❤️
So, I’m adopted.. the woman who took me in at 6 months old, was the only mother I knew.. every night as a kid she would sing Amazing Grace to me. So softly, so kindly, so lovingly.. at her passing on 12/15/19, we buried her to this song..hearing this song made me cry tbh. Just this version of this song is fantastic.. thank you
@@josephtecumsehwaterspoon. Im sorry i just don't understand how one can be so heartless to just throw their child away. Your adoptive parents were great humans.
In the context of a funeral it absolutely will. I don’t cry, hardly ever but when I heard this in person while walking behind my last grandad’s (I have none now) hearse it hit me hard and unexpectedly. The tears just flooded out of my eyes despite trying to fight them back. The silence after was the most surreal thing ever too. Any time I hear it, it transports me back in time to the exact moment I was walking down that street and I see everything I saw then in my mind. I haven’t been to any funeral since, not out of disrespect but I just can’t go through it again. I make my own peace through never forgetting the people who die.
People who are unsaved sing this. I don't know why. It speaks of salvation but they ignore it. The composer got saved. That is why he wrote it. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31)
My father passed away back in October to cancer...he introduced me to this song...and I forgot to play it at his service. So I listen to it every night, in honor of him.
i’m just 17, and i lost my best friend in a car accident two weeks ago. came to this song, it being the same i heard when my dad died seven years ago today. my friend died instantly. in the snap of a finger he was gone. i still don’t believe it. but this song makes me feel like my dad and he are still here with me this very moment.
My husband passed away yesterday and he always told me if nothing else he wanted this played. Losing my love is ripping my heart out but he's in no more pain. I will always love this man.
My Dad passed away on October 27th at the age of 70 years old due to Lung Cancer that was at stage 4!! Played this song at the graveside service and we all cried but we were at peace knowing he's not struggling anymore!!
Heard the pipes a few miles off and the towns people turned to the Germans and told them,"Ooohh, you guys are gonna get it now, prepared to be ass kicked!!".
I had this haunting dream a while ago where my grandfather, great uncles, uncle, cousins, father and brothers were all singing amazing grace with bagpipes. Every eerie and wonderful experience.
My grandfather passed away the 25 and my parents saw a hawk over by his old house unfazed by my parents and at his funeral amazing grace in bagpipes was played and a hawk flew over us as soon as it started to play. I believe he is still with us in some way and I now lover his song ❤
No,you aren't weird,dearie.You have excellent taste.There would be no World Pipeband competition every year if a vast number of people didn't share your love.I'm one of them as well.Enjoy!
My grandma, one of the best women to ever walk this Earth. She had a hard life, abused by her father, mistreated by her family. She grew up in Yura, Bolivia. She was one of the best humans to ever walk upon this this Earth. Every day I pray for her. She was so devout to God and his son Jesus the Almighty. I hope she is with Him and I will see her again, but not yet.
The bagpipe is not Scottish 🧐🤓 It doesn't come from their land or culture. There are so many countries that use the same ancient instrument, originally comes from the Hittite a thousand years BC .
Rest In Peace to the Marines and Navy Corpsman that were lost in Afghanistan August 26th 2021. Semper Fi brothers! May God be with the families during this difficult time.
As bad as this sounds just stop, just stop doing that. Forgot his dead. He lives in you, and your memoirs, not in sad songs. Hope you get what I was saying
My step father was a Scotsman through and through, the day of his funeral service unbeknownst to me, my mother choose this song to be played as his farewell by a friend on his bagpipes. As the oldest son I tried to be strong for my mother, but as he walked in the hall and started to play, the hairs on my back stood up and I broke into tears, this tune is so powerful. RIP Charley.
I instantly get hit with emotion, like a truck hitting a brick wall, when i hear this. My dads friend played this song for us on his bagpipes after my dad passed away. I love you pops. RIP
@@js3035 I get it. Was Played at My Mothers funeral. Miss you every day Mom. Very Visceral for me. Even now that I play the pipes myself the emotion is Raw.
May God abide in all who are broken hearted and give rest to those who are heavy labored may our father who arts in heaven pour down on us that are still here for they have moved on to a place we long to be. God be with us all!
Being Canadian, this song holds a constant and powerful strength over me. I hear it all the time in the name of those who have fallen for the great north and it's allies. God bless those who serve and have served, for we shall forever be in your debt.
I learned to play bag pipes 2 years ago, today was the first time i played in front of anybody. My father moved on from this earth and i was asked by my family to play. Being one of the hardest days of my life i some how made it. Form this day forward when ever i hear this song it hits me hard, farewell pops i hope you enjoyed what i played for you, please continue to guide, continue to love and i will continue to think about you daily.
Sorry for your loss. From this day forward when you play it will be a tribute to your dad. Find a place where he took you outdoors as a kid. Go there and play like the guy in this video. Most people love the bagpipes and will be moved by your solitary performance. Some may find peace in what they hear and you'll be able to tell your dad through song, thank you for the memories he made with you at the place you choose to play.
Amazing Grace was written by an English Man named John Newton. He was a slave trader and one night his ship was caught in a fierce storm. Newton thought that the ship would sink and all on board would die.....so he got on his knees and he swore an oath to God.....that if God allowed him to live.....he would renounce slavery and spend the rest of his days fighting against this evil. The sea became calm....the storm subsided....and John Newton made it safely home to England. He kept his promise to God. For the rest of his life, Newton fought against slavery. He eventually became blind.....hence the words of this beautiful hymn: "was blind....but now I see." The meaning is obvious. Newton finally 'saw' how evil slavery was.......and he was saved. A true story....and a beautiful lesson for all of us who have sinned against God.....it is NEVER too late to repent and do the right thing.
With no words this song asks... No, It commands your respect. It commands you remember their sacrifice. Be it from a soldier serving in the line of duty, or from a simple person who did right by others. And it commands you move on, for you still have much to do in this world, people to help, friends to comfort, and lives to touch. You may still have time to honor this song with your passing as well.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found Was blind but now I see Was Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace, my fears relieved How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far And Grace will lead us home And Grace will lead us home Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see Was blind, but now I see
"Those we love don't go away; They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near. Sill loved, still missed, and very dear. It's not good bye my loving Cousin, but till we all meet again!
First heard this when I was 12 years old, at family friend’s funeral. He was a policeman, murdered in the line of duty. It shakes me to my core every time I hear it.
My dad was a firefighter at his funeral we had bag pipes amazing grace . I wept so hard I will never forget that day 😭🙏🇺🇸 plus the ding of the fireman's bell I was a hot mess
I think it makes Everyone cry that has lost a Loved One.This Song is probably played at more Funerals on Bag Pipes than all other songs combined.I pray that it's played at my funeral.
Thank you for this beautiful song. My father loved this song and he loved the bagpipes. He passed away just last Friday and we had his memorial service today (he donated his body to science). His cousin was at the service today and played this on the bagpipes-was WONDERFUL. I know my dad was grinning ear to ear in heaven.
I will always remember 2 close friends that i lost. The First Was my Mentor during my Training to become an EWO. He died in an plane crash. And the second was my buddy from highschool who i lost to cancer. May they Rest in Peace
That's how you know, you've got Scottish Blood. You feel that tingle down the spine, the shiver as memories of those who came before return, to the call of the pipes, beckoning you home
I think it gives Most of us chills hearing Amazing Grace played on Bag Pipes. There's no other sound in the world like Bag Pipes and couldn't imagine any Song that I would rather hear than Amazing Grace on Bag Pipes.This Song was meant to be played on Bag Pipes.It just gives Us chills no matter how many times we hear it.
A fellow elder from our church went to be with the Lord today. Covid took him away from us... He was a giver and a good soul. Came to listen to this while bidding him farewell. You will be missed Elie
This moves every single heart string every fibre of my being, it is beyond beautiful. I salute this beautiful player...thank you for this soul shaking performance👍💯✌
Bagpipes are truly the most beautiful instrument, when played in the proper habitat. It makes you feel the most beautiful pain, the most agonizing of love, it’s breathtaking.
my mother passed away recently...her favorite song was "amazing grace" we had this played at her grave side service...PERFECT...she would have loved it! many thanks to this man on his pipe playing
I remember going to a police funeral a few years ago and it hit close to home as it was a small dept. my family was a part of. I held it together until the pipes started playing. Brings you someplace else.
Out of every musical instrument to Ever exist, the bagpipes are truly the most Beautiful sounding instrument Ever! R.i.p Dad, Dec 14th 1968 - November 21 2020 forever a veteran, forever a National Hero
They played this on my Elder brother’s funeral yesterday. 15 years ago on my dad’s funeral. This song will always carry on our blood. GOD BLESS ALL THE SOLDIERS, semper fi
All gave some, Some gave all. I can't hear this without sobbing but every tear I shed is a tear shed in remembrance if the brave men and women who gave their all in the name of freedom.
This is one of the tribute sounds to Lockerbie in the air disaster in 1988 . Im from the west Midlands, and I went camping in Dumfries and Galloway in 2014 and I got a taxi into Lockerbie and layed flowers at the garden of remembrance, god bless all those 270 souls lost in that disaster. I never cried so much in my life when I seen that wall of names innocent people that did nothing at all , it's all wrong this world 🌎 is .
To all the courageous and brave heroes who lost their lives 22 years ago, we miss you. Your legacies have been written and will be remembered forever. Thank you all for your services.
Going to play this for my sister when we have her funeral Friday. She always loved the bagpipes in ACDC song so I will honor her with this song..miss her so much already. ❤ ♥
Just lost one of the best teachers in the world. Thought I’d listen to this as he played it on saint Patrick’s day with a hand over his heart to celebrate his heritage. Today I’m celebrating him and his legacy. Rest In Peace
