Peter Hollens & David Archuletta's Loch Lomond Lyrics
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
O you take the high road, and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
Where in soft purple hue, the hieland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.
O you take the high road, and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping.
But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again,
Though the woeful may cease from their grieving.
O you take the high road, and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Peter Hollens I’d love to see more of these songs. Maybe try singing some in a different language. I recommend Dulaman. It’s an Irish song.
One Flew South - "Friends For Life" (The Fox And The Hound 2)
Peter Hollens, Jonathan Estabrooks & Scot Wisniewski
Every time you sing this song it gets more beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your voice!
I have to had pay the shipping!
Peter Hollens love this! You are fantastic and definitely should sing Tir na Nog next!
It's funny, I rooted so hard for David Archuleta to win in American Idol. To see and hear him all these years later is great :D
Tbh I was pissed when David Cook won. Not that he wasn't a good singer, but Archuleta was way better.
My son was 8 at the time. He called me crying. Lol. But you're right. Archuleta IS way better.
I was shocked that he didn't win, he was incredibly disappointed, but all these years later I haven't seen or heard of David Cook but I see Archie on RUclips regularly
@Elvis Edge RR Woodward skydude does work in mysterious ways
@Elvis Edge RR Woodward yes, Amen! PTL! for the path of the righteous beloved believer gets brighter & brighter... far far away from the stench of Hollyweird or the Iluminati's brand of un-Holywood!
my english teacher started to cry when she showed us the song in class and the whole class laughed at sue. now she died a few days ago and we sing it in our online class to remember her. now we are the ones who cry
I’m so sorry for your loss.
That’s obviously not true
@@TheStrangeMan13 why do u say so?
@@EthanWilliams-eh5jc Yeah right they sing it in an online class where there is gonna be tons of delay so no one would hear each other and it would sound awful
@@TheStrangeMan13 not necessarily. I have a program we use at school that has .02 seconds of delay, a margin small enough to make it work. It costs extra but works great
This was written about 2 soldiers. One will be killed, the other set free. The "low road" was underground, and his spirit would be home first. But despite being there, he'll never be able to hold his loved ones again in this life.
This is my VERY FAVORITE song Peter sings now.
This song was written about two soldiers...so hearing two men sing it...CHILLS
It's almost haunting isn't it?
I had no idea that the song was about two soldiers. That really does add a lot of depth to the lyrics. Thank you so much for that information.
@@scifiwriter6092 Here's a explanation I found,
""Loch Lomond" tells the story of two Scottish soldiers who were so imprisoned. One of them was to be executed, while the other was to be set free. According to Celtic legend if someone dies in a foreign land, his spirit will travel to his homeland by "the low road" - the route for the souls of the dead. In the song, the spirit of the dead soldier shall arrive first, while the living soldier will take the "high road" over the mountains, to arrive afterwards.
The song is from the point of view of the soldier who will be executed: When he sings, "ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road" in effect he is saying that you will return alive, and I will return in spirit. He remembers his happy past, "By yon bonnie banks ... where me and my true love were ever wont to gae [accustomed to go]" and sadly accepts his death "the broken heart it ken nae [knows no] second Spring again." -www.manhattanbeachmusic.com/html/loch_lomond.html
It's really a beautiful song.
@@RoseInTheWeeds Oh my gosh! I feel so honored that you shared this with me! I'm very proud of my heritage, and today is the anniversary of my mother's passing. She would thank you with all her heart, as do I. I will share your words with our family. It will mean a lot. Thank you so much!
Wow, I never knew the depth of the meaning of this song! Brings a tear to my eye.
“Fair is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any!”
This is a verse of Red is the Rose!
What emotion! Makes me cry!
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng oh my god the stars have crossed the heavens. Peter Hollens AND David Archuleta?! I could die happy.
This is my favorite folk song you've ever done lovey. Such an incredible song and video. Can't wait until we can have David come back! Ash loves him!!
Thank you Love!! ;)
you guys are such a nice couple, and both have incredible voices. wish you the best!!
When babies and/or dogs like people, it's usually a good sign. ;-)
David is amazing back in 2008 I had Brain surgery (I was 15) and David heard about it and got me and my family backstage passes to his concert with american idol.
@@nothinglastsforever4069 Kudos to David, thx for sharing. Nice to hear there are REALLY neat people still out there....millions of them. ;-) And what a gorgeous voice he has.
100% Scottish right here and I must say i think this is an amazing cover.
For people who are saying things about pronunciations. These two are NOT from Scotland but they have put everything into this cover to make it remarkable.
It's hard to pronounce Loch if you are not Scottish, it takes time.
Peter, I'm going to get the album rn!
THANK YOU! I really appreciate this! It really is hard! Much love
I don't think it's hard but that's just me also tak' is quite easy to pronounce
MissVioletWolf 100% agree, as a Scot myself I really liked this song ❤️
MissVioletWolf I doubt that you’re 100% Scottish as no one is technically 100% anything. Not trying to call you a liar, sorry
@@steph8030593 you can be 100% Scottish if your family was one of the first to arrive in Scotland and all of your ancestors after the settlers were born there
Beautiful Peter. Thank You
two of my favourite singers! beautiful
Not many singers are in Peter's class, but I think David might be. What a duet.
David has a phenomenal voice, too- great harmony between your voices!
He really does!
Amazing song and voice, Scotland ❤
Just one word: WOW!!! ❤️
Proud Scottish here I'm crying! You are amazing! you are so good at all the pronunciation!
It means the world to me for someone like you singing this traditional song!
Eve x
I see the PacNW all over this video. Big fan of Archuleta. You two sound great together. Think I would’ve liked it more without the background a cappella harmonizing and adding depth. You didn’t need it, it was much richer as a duet and felt more how it was sung when I was a kid 100 years ago. I can’t wait to hear Greensleeves. I want Fill to Me the Parting Glass sung at my funeral. It’s weird but you would be perfect. Have you sung The Old Boys by Runrig? If not please do and let me know so I can purchase it! It’s a great song TPG, lots of heart, pride and love for the old country.
Profile Pic checks out
The story behind this song is heartbreaking
I agree it is excellent, but to be honest, it isn’t quite 100% good pronunciation, but in no way does that detract from how fab this is. 😊. Also,Scottish here, living In Wester Ross, fairly far north of Loch Lomond.
They did a good job with this,but nothing will ever beat Runrigs version of this song.
Got chills!! 😍
I always thought I was weird. As an American Hispanic girl who is madly in love with the Irish/Scottish music and culture.
But seeing David Archuleta sing as well.
My heart soared 😍💛
Hahaha true, but did you know that the iberian peninsula have some celtic heritage? In Spain and Portugal they have even some national bagpipes.
There is *nothing* wrong with someone not Scottish enjoying the music. I'm... mixed to say the least, with maybe a little Irish (an ancestor claimed to be Chinese from Ireland) I adore Celtic music, both Irish and Scottish. You should check out two bands, 'The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem' and that bands spiritual successor, The High Kings. (A member of the kings is the son of one of the Clancy brothers)
So glad im not alone. Ive even started learning Scottish gaelic so i can sing along to some of the songs
Nothing weird with liking other countries' cultures. Culture is meant to be shared!
That, and we have some damn good folk music, even if it took the Jacobite rebellion and the highland clearances to get it.
You'd, be surprised, how many races, cultures, etc. Love the same things but they never admit it!!!!
Sad, their loss because beautiful music, will always touch kindred spirits 😉
OMG...I have no words. Perfection.
I love so much your voice with David’s voice !
DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!! 😱😱😱😭😭😭 miss him
He's great!!!
David A. is one of my favorite American Idol contestants. Good to see him back!!
He's awesome!
thank you, I wondered who he was !
I love how they harmonize.
So comfortingly relaxing. It's magical
Living near Loch Lomond we hear these kinds of songs a lot... but I gotta say this is the most beautiful arrangement I’ve heard in a while! Nice job
Wow! Thank you so much Tom!!! That means a lot!!!

You live near Loch Lomond? I would love to visit Loch Lomond someday.
I was at a Scottish-Asian wedding this weekend gone and this song was requested by the groom. We played this song and it was a big hit😍, but it was a remix, where we all went mental dancing at the end.
I hope the two of you do many more songs together. The two of you are amazing and talented people, you each seem to have a light that radiates from you, and then when the two of you combine your talents and sign together, it’s like the clouds have parted and the the Heavens have opened. There is something very synergistic that happens when the two of you preform together.
Nailed it... What a great rendition guys. Thank you.
oh my gosh! I love this song with all my heart.. I remember I listened to it and cried the first time I heard it. I love this so much
Aww thank you so much for watching!! I really appreciate it :)
I used to live right by Loch Lomond and this song makes my heart sing. Hearing it sung so beautifully had me half in tears. I love my Scottish heritage
I love how it is on acapella. So serene and quiet and when you realize the back story of it hits even harder..
When I was younger I remember my gram humming this to me and she couldn't remember what it was called and then we sung it in choir so I finally found it again and you guys made it sound so beautiful and it brings back some beautiful memories
WHAT CHOIR IS IT TEXAS 5TH GRADE
God I forgot how much I loved David Archuleta's voice. You guys make an amazing duet. Hope to see more with you two.
As someone living in Scotland that has visited Loch Lomond many times I love this song. I was taught that Loch Lomond is and was the gateway to the Highlands, it's a beautiful place.😀
One of my favorite pieces you have ever done. I come back to this more than I could count. It along with your rendition of May It Be, stands as the greatest duets in your entire line up.
My Dad would sing this song to me when I was a youngster. I'm 63 and love this song so much. Your rendition is beautiful!
That's so beautiful.
You know it’s a good duet when their voices blend together so well...can’t even tell if they were switching off on harmony and melody
As a former opera singer who loves folk music, this is one of those songs that I say, “oh god, not again.” But I decided to listen anyway and boy was I impressed. This is the best version I have ever heard (and trust me, I’ve heard this song a lot). Good choice and collaboration with David A.
scottish and proud! makes me so happy to see someone do a proper scottish song!
You had me at feat. David Archuleta. ❤
I love the revisits of these songs!
Thanks Jason!
This is such a beautiful version of that song. It was my Granny's favourite song and we sang it at her funeral two months ago. Thanks for making me feel closer to her tonight.
Dear peter hollens thank you for doing a cover of this song as it was played at my Nana's and papa's funeral and it remindeds me of them so thank y
David always had an amazing voice and a beautiful delivery but when he sings this his soul really shines through
Hearing this done by two men really hit me hard. Excellent performance Gentlemen.
I have to say, I've not heard David's voice in a long time, and combined with yours, it's an absolutely perfect auditory experience. Thank you!
The “you take the high road and I’ll meet you there” harmony part scratches my brain so nicely
This song makes me think of a 1980s UK soap called, unsurprising, "Take the High Road". Great song, fab collab!
Absolutely breathless....lm Scottish for a few minutes.. it just transports your spirit🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Here in 2024! Such a beautiful song
HOLY FUDGE! SCOTS ARE NOTICED!
*Sings whole song*
I woke up Nov 23rd with the tune in my head... its a song my mom would always sing with me on our walks.... it was a song when she was growing up my scottish grandpa would sing to her... my grandma passed away back in march and i was crying think how my grandpa would never meet his true love again... he passed away the next day... yes on thanks giving to see his love. Beautiful version. This is your song grandpa ❤️
I’m so sorry😣
And I’m glad I’m not the only one on 2023 that listens to this masterpiece❤
Two legends together
Thank you for watching!!
Peter Hollens yep
Oh my god! I am Scottish and love this song! You guys sang it amazingly and even nailed the Scottish Slang! Good job! 👏
God Bless Miriam💔😢🤔💕We will always remember you & miss you 😢😘💕
My Brother and I would sing this when we were little.
Really does bring a little peace to a stressful die. Keep it up Peter
Thanks for watching Kevin :)
@@PeterHollens Truely so much harmony in your voices and your music
I just love this song. I live in Scotland and this has always been my favourite since I was little. Just beautiful
February 2016
7th grade choir
We sang this song in a tournament and won
I graduated highschool last week (June 2021), this song makes me sad because it reminds me of when times were much simpler
Teenaged me had a crush on Archuleta during his season on Idol. This is the first time I’ve heard anything from him since then.
Just came back to listen to it again, think it is best to really hear all the nuances that way. Absolutely riveting. Something homely and captivating about this performance. You are the supervocalmen of youtube x
Wow. David adds a lot to this. He is a necessary part of this song. I love it.
Tearful and happy and something about it is about strength
I love these two young men individually in their music and when they come together is just completely wonderful.
*I literally got tears in my eyes because of this beautiful song; the composition, the vocals, just everything about this song is so beautiful that I can’t describe it in enough words to do it justice.*
Its a warm beautiful night here as i sit outside my tent on the Banks of Loch Lomond.. I am being dive-bombed by midgies and i don't care as this beautiful version of one of my fave songs is drifting through the still night air and making everything wonderful.. Thank you both for recording this. Big hugs from Loch Lomond to you all xx
Chills. I have chills. Wow.
I got goosebumps and tears dropping from my eyes
Beautiful Peter! I have discovered recently that I am mainly Scottish/Irish and English and it is so nice to have a cover of this beautiful folk tale that is done correctly and magical. Thank you!
This is probably my most favorite collab on RUclips EVER.
Love this👏👏👏❤🎶🎶🎶 It must be amazing to stand in this beautiful place and sing this wonderful song. Amazing and so beautiful ❤🎶🎶🎶❤
Love this im Scottish and have been to loch lomond many a time this is my grans favourite song i loved it !!!
I am SO STOKED that you are doing completely different arrangements and vocals on the songs you've done before. I LOVE THEM!!! Your voice and David Archuleta's were made for each other. It was so beautiful!!!! My album should arrive any day now! Yay!!!!
Thank you so much Taylor! Which version is your favorite?
I have the first version on my play list. I love it!! It's outstanding, but I have to say, I prefer this version. I find it to have a greater depth of harmony and variety of vocal orchestration. It's really outstanding and I can't wait to hear my album when it arrives.
So much talent! Such beautiful voices in so many ranges. I didn't know this music was out here! Thank you, Peter Hollens.
David Archuleta is my favorite singer, and I'm a big Peter Hollens fan. HOW AM I NOW JUST FINDING THIS ON RUclips?!!!!!!
New song coming out with him on oct 2!!!!
So excited!!!!!
Being Scottish and not live there , this is making me homesick. Love this continue the good work!
My Scottish mum from Dunfermline would love this arrangement.
My dad would always play this on the guitar for me when I was a little girl. It's truly beautiful, and you two did an amazing job. Props to creating the most amazing version of this song that is so incredibly special to me.
The Folk Album is fantastic I drive for UBER and have been playing it in my care tor the past few week my rider just love it
Wonderfull, God Bless you Peter and David.
Check out his latest album "Postcards in the Sky" its great
This is great but this won't distract me from wanting a Hellfire full version from Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Thank you so much! Haha i've gotten a few people asking for that ;) Definitely something to consider!
I mean the real answer is im gonna do it
Peter Hollens hey its ok. Take your time you deserve to take your time. I appreciate all your content.
You spoiled us all when you and Whitney did that villains medley!
Brennen Eshleman k
As a proud Scotsman that grew up singing this song. I've had your album playing on repeat for the last 2 weeks and I enjoy it every single time. How you 2 sang Loch Lomond and arranged the song is exactly how my great grandfather and great uncles used to sing it (but with a heavier Scottish accent lol), and it put so much nostalgia in my heart, thanks. Incredible job and congrats on the #1 on the Billboard Charts!
cant speak,this was so wonderful thanks 🙏🙏😢😢💞💞
Freaking fantastic brings back my roots
Beautiful as always. What a lovely song to do with David, your voices sounded so good in harmony. Loved the locations as well, amazing scenery to go with the amazing singing!
The transitions at 2:46 are amazing.
Thank you so much :)
Peter, 2:34- 3:18 is my favorite part with the pickup to the #keychanges until the end of the song. The album has been streamed on Spotify. ;)
So my band is playing this in school so I wanted to listen to the song in its entirety, and I stumbled across this. Now I've listened to this about 15 times and have it on repeat 😄 thank you for sharing this absolutely beautiful work of art ❤
So wonderful to hear David Archuleta sing again! He is so phenomenal and Peter you are fantastic, as always!
3:08 I love how you have the bass vocal echoing the end of the melody phrase really softly. It's both stylistically appropriate and charmingly beautiful
Getting a Facebook message from Peter Hollens about his latest video while watching his latest video. #serendipitous 😁😍
So beautiful... it gave me goosebumps and made me cry a little.
beautiful your voices totally compliment each other
Beautiful hearted people, singing a beautiful song. I feel so blessed to have found your youtube. May God Bless You and your family and your friends.
This is based on the fallout of the Jacobite rebellion. Leave it to the Celts to make a beautiful song about it. Nice job guys.
That is so kind of you to say! Thank you so much
If your views go up on this song. It’s because of me, my daughter won’t sleep unless this is one repeat.
Awesome! I'm honored that our music has become part of your bedtime routine. I hope that our harmonies and David's beautiful voice continue to lull your daughter to sleep and bring you both joy. 🥰
Thanks to Peter and David for sharing your talents in this beautiful video. My grandma loved this song and sang it a lot. She was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Scotland during the early 50's. This song hits me differently now because she passed away this morning. RIP Grammie.
Wow...what a voice 👏👏👏.
Awesome, Beautiful, Amazing, Stunning should I continue ? 😁😊
Aw thank you so much Philipp!!!!
My ears are so happy 😍
Thank you for watching Jazzy!
Jazzy B mine too♡♡
Anyone have that feeling where listening to irish stuff like this makes them want to learn more about it? I do, I love the irish and scottish, their culture and everything should live forever
this songs scottish written in the early 1800s. the irish sing many many scots songs
This is a SCOTTISH song and they are not singing it in Scots. Bad rendition altogether.
