Beautiful moment at 1:49. Stoic gentleman struggling to hold back tears. At a time when folk, particularly men, didn't show emotions. This moment just captures the essence of this song for me.
We start off from St. Kilda, shortly after is Tobermory and we end up in New York. They'll aa be deid noo, maist o the weans too. And ye wunner whit wur they gonnae do, stertin anew, whit moved them, people like you. Whit became o them, the mithers, faithers an weans, the parents at hame, sad, gled, mebbe, reflective aye, tellin themsels it's fur the best. Deid an grown auld. Whaur ur the memories noo? Memories ye cannae hae.
How life has dramatically changed since this time, always think it is a shame how many has created a new world to what was a time of happiness and hope, everyone at that time didn't care what they looked like, what they wore or how much money they had, as long as they had each other they were happy. Makes me think how this new world era is not what it should been and what it should have been, thank you to reality television, politics and jugmental opinions, you've really done us proud! Peace out to all in From Scotland With Love you are all people to be remembered!x
There’s a lot wrong with the social life of humans now but much as I love this film the living conditions for the majority of people in those days were terrible and infant mortality and life expectancy were amongst the worst in the developed world. Interesting that we see the economic migrants departing on large ships while people arriving here on rafts now are demonised
Wonderful song and images. This really 'got to me' and the old man dancing with the wee girl on the ship 'finished me off' :-) Thank you. A super wee piece of film
yes very emotional' I Grew up in Ireland but moved to England with my family as a young boy' my Father was an only child and we used to go and visit his parents every year' each time we set off to come back again my grandmother would break her heart' it was emotional each and every time for years !
@@jcw001 No matter where we came from, We are all the same! There is to much hatred in this country’ Due to politics and football.. I worry where it will all end as it’s the worse it’s been in my life.
