We are currently on a cruise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. We had an onboard party yesterday and this song was played. I've heard it before. I swear every Scotsman got up to dance and it was very energetic! Great song. Great people.
Oh man, I look stupid right now crying. My wife and I used to go silly and sing this song while on the road travelling to wherever on a Saturday afternoon. All the memories just gushing in, super overwhelming. My darling, love of my life, passed away last year. Oh, if only heaven was that close, I'd walk 500 miles, and I would gladly walk 500 more.
As I write this, I sit next to my wife as she lies helpless in a Neuro ICU in Charlotte, NC. As an Ulster Scot, but a Scot nonetheless, I truly needed this song right now. Thank you from the depths of my soul.
@@KittyStarlight Thanks Kitty. I had been a widow to my first husband who was a wonderful man. I had sworn I'd never marry again, but 4 years later, God had other plans, thankfully. They were alike in their character and morals. We visited Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where his relatives from Scotland had migrated after the Highland Clearances. I wish we'd had the chance to visit Scotland. Take care!
For my beloved wife untill the day we meet again in Jesus' arm.. I'll keep listening to this. This was the song I sang and you said yes. Missing you much.
I'm younger, but I also can't get this song out of my mind! I listen to this version several times a day, it's that good! And it's better than the original.
I am from Angola and lived 6 years of my life in Scotland, Aberdeen where I graduated from RGU. I have Scotland as my second home. I met people who are as part of my family and I am as part of their family. This song take me back to the land of my precious single malts, my beloved Scotland.
How perfect is that? The Proclaimers have written a song to be sung in Scotland for the next thousand years. Thanks for the Tune-up, Malcolm. and Maclean.
As an American Scotsman this song touches a part of my heart and soul that bagpipe music touches. I am proud of my Scottish heritage and me and my children went to Scotland in 2006 and I have never met a more welcoming, warm, and generous people.
Great to read your comment. I left Scotland in 1978 but am fortunate enough to visit every year to a "wee hoose" I still keep there. I love the countries in which I have lived, but my heart still pulls be back to Scotland. Alba gu brath
Irish guy here, my late Dad lived in Glasgow as a young man, he was a big Bhoys fan, as are all of our family. Haven't met my distant Scottish cousins in a long time, but I can't wait to see them again...Oh, and my God-mother was Scottish to...May God bless Scotland, our Celtic cousins...😄
As someone who possibly has adhd, I’m always on the lookout for new songs to listen to. Music is how I cope with possibly having it. The more peppy the tune is, the better I feel.
But.. Wouldn't it have been better if they came on and said.. "Today we are looking through the triangle window, and what's there kids? It's a wee song about walking a lot.. Here we go"...
I was doing one of those charity walks - the Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day where you walk 60 miles in 3 days. I had speakers hooked up to my backpack and was blaring this song as I was walking along the route. The best part was people along the route cheering us on and singing along with the chorus and especially the "da-da-da-da" parts. It really lifts the spirits when you've walked 18 miles in a day, your feet hurt and you're trying to make it that last couple of miles to that day's finish line. This is an amazingly powerful song. The first 9 years I did this walk I logged the first 500 miles and in almost a decade since then I have added 500 more. I have literally waIked 1000 miles to this song!
It sounds very much like a studio recording with pitch correction. I'm pretty sure they're lip syncing here. In fact at 0:19 I can hear the undesired artifacts from autotune. When he says "goes along".
Aye, but you have to take a wee peep underneath the kilt to see if the person wearing it is a true scot. If he's as naked as the day he was born he' the real deal!
I didn't expect that anyone could a better cover of the Proclaimers classic. This, however, blew me away. The energy if right where it should be. What a great effort guys.
The driving and infectious rhythm, the rich harmony drenched in Scottish brogue, all done while rocking their kilts... If you can listen to this without eanting to walk 500 miles yourself then get to the ER quickly. You might actually be dead!
This made me think of Mrs. Turek, a proud Scots woman from my home town. My neighbor is long passed, but the memories this video brought out are sweet. Thank you.
As an American when told about the Scottish version of the song I didn't originally think much of it. Extremely grateful I gave it a chance. I love this version as much as the original proclaimers version... Outstanding. Absolutely brilliant...
@@claytondennis5245 what are you onabout? The procalimers are scottish and its their song? The scottish "version" is the original. This is comeing from a scot lmao
Same here and i do. My wife has actually threatened to throw the t.v. out the window if i don't give it a rest. My response was to turn it up full blast on the home theater system...
i have a Scottish accent and i started singing this in class and my budy started singing with me he's from Scotland it was amazing class stopped untill the song ended
I keep watching this video because it is a wonderful example of Scottish pride and energy. I am a YORKSHIRE girl, Oh how I wish we had a song as brilliant as this to represent us.
april dawn I am born in Yorkshire too but love this and the Scottish hills and ways. I was born in a little village in Yorkshire and my best scottish friend in a little scottish village yet we are so similar for some reason.
I’m English but this song always gets me going. My wife is half scottish so maybe that is why. That is great. Can’t wait for this lockdown to finish so we can go and revisit bonny Scotland. X
I had heard this song "in the background" for many years. Then one day I noticed how The Proclaimers pronounced the word "thowsand" and I was really hooked. There's something about a Scots accent ...

I have loved this song my entire life and I have grown up to learn I am a 9th generation American Scottish transplant with roots in Glasgow Scotland and a great grandfather 9 generations ago who sold himself into indentured service to get to America and I wish I could emigrate back to Glasgow Scotland. God bless the Scots.
As an Englishman, I wish we showed this much national pride. God bless you all, and those 500 miles would be privileged to have your feet walk upon them.

Love this song. It's a song that's perfect for weddings, wedding anniversaries, military life and a lot more. Loyalty, dedication, love and a whole lot of other stuff in one song. On a lighter note, I want to see this song sung in Scottish Gaelic. I think that would be amazing.

First video I ever saw of them performing. Took an instant liking to them. Nothing fancy, just good old comradery. Such on stage character. Facial expressions, even of those not singing at the moment. How they react to (look at) the one singing (telling a story). They all look they enjoy each other and what they are doing.
I first heard that song in the year 1993 before I graduated from high school. How cool is that. And I still really like this song. I like it I like it I like it.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎶🎶🎶🎶
We are currently on a cruise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. We had an onboard party yesterday and this song was played. I've heard it before. I swear every Scotsman got up to dance and it was very energetic! Great song. Great people.
Yes its definitely a floor filler song 😄
Funny but the first time I heard this was in Temple Bar in Dublin about 10 years ago. So much fun.
My son-in-law is Scottish & Irish. He is struggling with cancer and this song is very uplifting for him. He listens to it every day.
praying he goes into remission
I hope that he is still with us and recovering, may God give him strength...❤
I Hope he gets better and the good thing is tell your son that I’m Irish and Scottish because I am ❤️

I love this song, what woman would not! This was the song my husband chose for us to karaoke to. Love it!

I saw The Proclaimers sing this at Edinburgh Castle in front of a home crowd last year. Trust me. That was the best version.
😃 Yeah! That had to be awesome! 😃
Absolutely without a doubt

@@ViaticalTree Yes you could be correct

Aye, but you have to take a wee peep underneath the kilt to see if the person wearing it is a true scot. If he's as naked as the day he was born he' the real deal!

Nuair a thèid mi a-mach, seadh tha fios agam gum bi mi
Is mise a bhith mar an duine a thèid còmhla riut
Ma thèid an deoch orm, uill tha fios agam gum bi mi
Is mise a bhith mar an duine a bhios air mhisg ri do thaobh
Agus ma dh ’obraicheas mi suas, seadh tha fios agam gum bi mi
Tha mi a ’dol a bhith mar an duine a tha a’ slaodadh ort
Ach choisicheadh mi còig ceud mìle
Agus choisicheadh mi còig ceud a bharrachd
Dìreach airson a bhith mar an duine a choisicheas mìle mìle
Gus tuiteam sìos aig do dhoras
Nuair a tha mi ag obair, tha, tha fios agam gum bi mi
Is mise a bhith mar an duine a tha ag obair gu cruaidh air do shon
Agus nuair a thig an t-airgead a-steach airson na h-obrach a nì mi
Bheir mi seachad cha mhòr a h-uile sgillinn dhut
Nuair a thig mi dhachaigh (nuair a thig mi dhachaigh) uill tha fios agam gum bi mi
Is mise a bhith mar an duine a thig air ais dhachaigh thugad
Agus ma tha mi a ’fàs sean (nuair a bhios mi a’ fàs sean) tha fios agam gu bheil mi gu bhith
Tha mi a ’dol a bhith mar an duine a tha a’ fàs sean leat
Ach choisicheadh mi còig ceud mìle
Agus choisicheadh mi còig ceud a bharrachd
Dìreach airson a bhith mar an duine a choisicheas mìle mìle
Gus tuiteam sìos aig do dhoras

Tha, tha (tha, tha)
Da did da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
Tha, tha (tha, tha)
Tha, tha (tha, tha)
Da did da dun diddle un diddle un diddle uh da
Nuair a tha mi aonaranach, uill tha fios agam gum bi mi
Tha mi a ’dol a bhith mar an duine a tha aonaranach às d’ aonais
Agus nuair a tha mi a ’bruadar, uill tha fios agam gu bheil mi a’ bruadar
Tha mi a ’bruadar mun àm nuair a bhios mi còmhla riut
Nuair a thèid mi a-mach (nuair a thèid mi a-mach) uill tha fios agam gum bi mi
Is mise a bhith mar an duine a thèid còmhla riut
Agus nuair a thig mi dhachaigh (nuair a thig mi dhachaigh) tha fios agam gu bheil mi gu bhith
Tha mi a ’dol a bhith mar an duine a thig air ais dhachaigh còmhla riut
Tha mi a ’dol a bhith mar an duine a tha a’ tighinn dhachaigh còmhla riut
Ach choisicheadh mi còig ceud mìle
Agus choisicheadh mi còig ceud a bharrachd
Dìreach airson a bhith mar an duine a choisicheas mìle mìle
Gus tuiteam sìos aig do dhoras

Agus choisicheadh mi còig ceud a bharrachd

@@alicemilne1444 Has it been recorded, though? Would like to hear that.
@@cathoderaytube7497 I've been searching the web since yesterday, but no luck yet.
First video I ever saw of them performing. Took an instant liking to them. Nothing fancy, just good old comradery. Such on stage character. Facial expressions, even of those not singing at the moment. How they react to (look at) the one singing (telling a story). They all look they enjoy each other and what they are doing.
They aren't the Proclaimers, but Jim Malcom & Darren Maclean are pretty good all the same. Well done, lads!
I first heard that song in the year 1993 before I graduated from high school. How cool is that. And I still really like this song. I like it I like it I like it.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎶🎶🎶🎶

The calfs on the young dude could easily conquer worlds!
Never tire of this version!!!
