🎶 The hale city's quiet noo, It kens that he's restin'
At hame wi' his Glasgow freens, their joy and their pride.
The red will be worn again and Scotland will march again,
Noo great John Maclean has come hame tae the Clyde 🎶
A great Scottish Folk-Rock song for a great man.
Tonight At Noon - The John Maclean March
🎶 Into the valley
Betrothed and divine
Realisation's no virtue
But who can define
Why soldiers go marching 🎶
The Skids - Into The Valley
Rabble-rousing, full of drama & a pure anthem from start to finish
What began as a poem written by Jobson in his youth, inspired by "The Charge of the Light Brigade, the song took on a more native note when it drew upon the plight of Scottish youths recruited into the British army & sent to NI
🎶 Do we have to roam the world to prove how much it hurts? 🎶
Had a wonderful evening at Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s production of ‘Sunshine On Leith’.
After my cousin’s funeral yesterday, this was a beautiful, emotional reminder of how important family & heritage are. The powerful, catchy & bittersweet lyrics of the Proclaimers’ songs of love, loss, & legacy really hit home.
It’s a joy to be Scottish
♥️
The Proclaimers - Letter From America
🎶 Young at heart
Yet not a chance
To be a child at all
They told us tales
They told us lies
Don't they know
They shouldn't have told us at all
How come I love them now?
How come I love them more?
When all I wanted to do when I was old
Was to walk out the door 🎶
The Bluebells - Young At Heart
🎶 If you want the fruit to fall
You have to give the tree a shake
If you shake the tree too hard
The bough is gonna break
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
Mary, you can blow me up there
What I wouldn't give to be
When I was Mary's prayer 🎶
Danny Wilson - Mary’s Prayer
🎶 Say you’ll remember to keep it all inside
You can run for the skyline, your eyes open wide 🎶
CHVRCHES - Warning Call
🎶 Just another time that I go down, but you are keeping up
Holding to a hope you'll undermine, never to be reversed
Just another time I'm caught inside every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides, never quite learning why 🎶
CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue
🎶 I’ll move mountains if you ask me to
I’d swim the seven seas
I’ll be the one to hold your torch again
I’ll do anything you ask of me 🎶
