I really want to thank you for playing 'Caledonia' Friday night at Oshkosh, WI back in June. I cannot even begin to really expess how much that song touches my heart. I absolutely love you guys and how much joy your music brings to my life. Many blessings to you all. 💜
The Official Anthem of Home i think about home all the time I don't know if you can see The changes that have come over me In these last few days I've been afraid That I might drift away So I've been telling old stories, singing songs That make me think about where I came from And that's the reason why I seem So far away today Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Oh and I have moved and I've kept on moving Proved the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing Found others on the way Oh and I have tried and kept on trying Stolen dreams yes there's no denying I have traveled far with conscience flying Somewhere with the wind Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Now I'm sitting here before the fire The empty room, the forest choir The flames that could not get any higher They've withered now they've gone But I'm steady thinking my way is clear And I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow Then I will disappear Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
sorry but the best version that isnt dougies and thats cameron barnes i love skerryvore but the way he sounds like a fake texan is just wrong sounds awful he scottish and its a scottish song so why did he change the way he sings
Super Band, I saw the Band my first time on Islay Festival at Bruichladdich 2015. Since this time I‘ m a real fan. Also good, but a bit different are Skipinnish and Timeline. I‘ m also they saw on the Islay Fastival. All together a high perfomance.
@ Never a truer word. What Sturgeons trying to sell to the electorate as 'independence' would be prosecuted under the trade descriptions act in any other profession. Selling Scotland oot for her own career development. She's a disgrace.
To all you Americans... listen to a ‘real’ version where the singer sings clearly, with a traditional Scottish accent, and not a cheesy rock band drone with slurred words! :-)
Cover songs are not supposed to sound identical to original. They’re supposed to ‘make it their own’. You just sound miserable. I loved this as much as original, gave me goosebumps 🏴
I agree. Sad really. Good otherwise. But trying for a cheesy transatlantic American rock style is way off! It should be sung ina traditional folk manner. Hey ho!
lovin the bagpipes need more bagpipes

Utterly outstanding. Thank you (from a Sassenach).
Absolutely fantastic love this version
I love seeing these guys at the Irish Festival in Milwaukee, WI! Not my favorite rendition of this song, but still a favorite!
Saw and heard this band in Durham May 2016, BRILLIANT!
ENJOYED them for 1st time in Dublin, Ohio. I'm hooked!
Superb version, just love it.
I’m coming to see you tomorrow!!! Can’t wait ❤
Going to see Skerryvore in the old Fruitmarket Glasgow tonight. Saw them in Pitlochry twice and loved every minute of it.
So cool.. The best yet love it...
saw them for the first time tonight at the Irish Festival in Pittsburgh..... Amazingly awesome!!
Was there too and had seen them live for the first time, although I had been listening to their music for over a year
Saw them on TV at Tiree and then live in November 2016 in Hampshire. Fantastic, unique and great fun.
going to Tønderfestival in Denmark last of august this year and are looking forward to hear them !
Beautiful
The Official Anthem of Home
i think about home all the time
I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today
Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had
Oh and I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
Oh and I have tried and kept on trying
Stolen dreams yes there's no denying
I have traveled far with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames that could not get any higher
They've withered now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow
Then I will disappear
Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had
There is a gaelic theme in everybody! Checked my ancestry and there is plenty of links to Scotland and Ireland - fine man you are!
Absolutely brilliant this is by far the best version
sorry but the best version that isnt dougies and thats cameron barnes i love skerryvore but the way he sounds like a fake texan is just wrong sounds awful he scottish and its a scottish song so why did he change the way he sings
best song ever
Scotland forever 🏴
Skerryvore, fantastic show last night... Huntington loves you guys! Come back and see us again 😄
Perfection 👌
This is a wonderful version of a beautiful song. Best version on the web sort of Dougie himself.
love it

True story
Not the best rendition I have ever heard. The words are so important in this song that clear singing is imperative.
Ian McColl Totally agree. Not sure what this American wannabe was u to!
If I wanted the Irish to sing this song...............
If i wanted the French....to sing about Holland haha
The chap’s diction is not very clear unfortunately...
Wash yer lugs oot, we unnerstaun him fine.

Like the song but can't believe how much time the guy spent talking before they finally started playing.
To all you Americans... listen to a ‘real’ version where the singer sings clearly, with a traditional Scottish accent, and not a cheesy rock band drone with slurred words! :-)
I love this version. I love the original more.
You're a bit triggered pal. Calm doon hahahahhaa
Hes bloody awful
Cover songs are not supposed to sound identical to original. They’re supposed to ‘make it their own’. You just sound miserable. I loved this as much as original, gave me goosebumps 🏴
why does he slur the words????? sound like he's singing in a phony American accent???? WHY.. HE'S SCOTTISH,!!!
knk12345 deans is a shithole
I agree. Sad really. Good otherwise. But trying for a cheesy transatlantic American rock style is way off! It should be sung ina traditional folk manner. Hey ho!
Sounds like at least one dram too much...
Can't you enunciate or play in the proper timing? Have you ever heard Dougie sing this song?
Why does he put on that awful american accent.
sing for God's sake!!!! NOT scream!!!...beautiful fiddler and pipes anyway
sorry but his voice has ruined this song
Nice voice but not pronunciation poor
utterlycutterly1 Doesn't matter
... and you lost the vote. Get over it.
If your singing that you should be voting YES. FFS.
