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.
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
For some of us Runrig are unsurpassable. Their core followers are certainly Scottish but they have made their mark across all over the UK and beyond . I am so proud that I instigated their concert at the Victoria Hall Hanley all those years back . Runrig will always be that bit special . It’s more than music , much more . As most of the Scottish fans know
We are not really human or civilised, and our inhumanity to man still (and will) makes countless thousands mourn! If that is humanity, I'm glad that I am old now .....old Tich.xx
Couldn't agree more. was at this gig any many more over the 35 years I followed them (nd still my favourite ). Always a great band live, one of the best
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
Magnifique chanson émouvante. Malcolm Jones prouve une fois de plus qu'il est un guitariste exceptionnel. Runrig, depuis très longtemps mon groupe préféré. Vraiment dommage qu'ils ont décidé d'arrêter.
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.
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
@@skyemack8230 Can we not appreciate the three of them for being such great, unique, guitarists? Malcolm Jones is massively underrated, I'll give you that.
Not live you won't but there are CD's that tell the story o the most underratedbabd ever. Thanks to a bunch of of Self Centred DJ's and Channels thanks fir 40 years and mercy be for CD!s
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?
