Oh my gosh, I freaking love this song! He's amazing! I'm not even Scotish whatsoever, but I'm totally with all of you for your independence! If I could, I would vote yes! :D
Paolo is just amazing! No wonder the young people of Scotland have made his records million sellers, and I admire their choice and taste in music, they are spot on !!!! Albainn gu Brath,
Some of the best words ever written; makes me proud to be a Scot and hopeful that people listen to these words and put them into practice in their lives.
Love Paolo, and I love this song. My dad's fave song, so much that's he's already asked that it's plaed at his funeral. Make's me proud to be Scottish, Burn's words ring true today and the world can still learn from them.
Paolo catches the whole philosophy of being Scottish - which is the same philosophy from Timbuktu to Cape Horn - The Scots Nation were never beaten and can always relate to their brothers - Maori, Navajo, Nigerian, Apache, Aborigine, Lakota, Ghanaian - the Scots stood up to the English government and spread their love across the whole world!
Being something of a traditionalist I knew I was going to hate this - I was wrong, it was excellent! They stuck to the tune, though played in a modern, punchy style and they stuck to the words and sang them with vigor and passion.
OMG He truly IS a real Scot! What I wadnae gie tae hear'm sing "Flower of Scotland" at the op'nin o' a national rugby match! NZ in the fa' mebbe? We can on'y hope!
OMG, he truly IS a real Scot! What I wadnae gie tae hear'm sing "Flower of Scotland" at the op'nin o' a national rugby match! NZ in the fa' mebbe? We can on'y hope! Is it my imagination, or does he actually bear a resemblance tae Auld Rab?
iT'S NOT A FENIAN TRICOLOUR, IT'S AN ITALIAN FLAG BY JOVE! Great thing, Paolo. Don't know your music so well but I like this movie VERY much. Splendid song and the rebel spirit of Burns is all there. Braw!
I wish I was the same age as Paulo....In Scotland (which means the whole fuckin' world...) his music, words and general feel are real! If I should be so privileged as to work with Paolo Nutini I would consider myself blessed....the MAN'S THE GOWD for aw that

makes you proud to be scottish,its amazing how a poem written so long ago is still so relevant today,it absolutly should be the new national anthem,its uplifting and emotional,can you imagine a 60 thousand strong tartan army singing a mams a man around hampden,much better than the dreary "THOSE HILLS ARE BARE NOW"lyrics from flower of scotland,
I agree Tad, but many young people don't have a clue who Rabbie Burns was. I was praising Paolo for singing his songs and thus showing his beliefs are still alive today.
I would love to see Scottish independence and I believe in my life time I will however I don't see how "A mans a man" has anything to with independence for Scotland. That Man to Man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that.
wonderful !!! great version thank you if the young people sing hhis songs Rabbie will celebrete another 250yrs [its the BURNS 250yrs since his birth] SCOTLAND has opened here doors so everyone can visir Scotland in 2009
Happy Birthday Rabbie! Sae come aa ye at hame wi freedom Never heed whit the houdies croak for Doom In yer hous aa the bairns o Aidam Will fin breid, barley-bree an paintit room Whan MacLean meets wi's friens in Springburn Aa thae roses an geeans will turn tae blume An a black laud frae yont Nyanga Dings the fell gallows o the burghers doun. Freedom come aa ye!
Fantastic rendition -the sentiments of Socialism and pride are ageless and belong to no particular generation. That a 21 year old can sing this song with such enthusiasm today would have brought a smile to Burns's face. Well done that man!
Brilliant. Paolo refreshes the ancient lyric of men who are human against all odds in a strident feminist age. When the Gay Men's Chorus from London appeared for the first time in Edinburgh in May 2007, they brought down the house when they left camp behind at the moment when a Scotsman came out in kilt and sang this Robbie Burns song. We American tourists who chanced upon this performance fainted dead away. Omigod. Go, Paolo, go. Where is your CD cut of this?
I would like to see more modern singers/bands that can do it, able to perform classic folk songs. Top performance by Paolo. P.S: this post comes from an Australian! :)
Well if Paolo is singing like a sheep, I have to say I´ve never seen a better singing sheep! He must be the most gorgeous sheep on this planet! ;) Paolo is the best!
The Scottish Nation has been under the English heel since 1707! Forget the religious side - England has been under a German Monarchy for these 300 years - Scotland must take back Her Birthright - an enlightened vision of the future which embraces ALL Nations as Brothers and Sisters One World - One Love!
great modern version of a classic scottish song about brothers all over the world and humanity in general sharing the same problems and thinking can we solve them together? unfortunately the answers nearly always naw. i cant beleive the old firm zombies are argueing over this,and thats how it will not change cos they just soak up the sectarianism and hatred handed down to them,as if punk or anything involving moving forward and thinking for yourself never happened.a mans a man for a that! x
@TheWardlaw1 The sentiments may be written and sung in Scots, but the song transend petty nationalism. "That man to man, the world over, shall brothers be for all that" - Thank you TheWardlaw1 for the reminder.
Played this last week as my father was laid to rest in the crematorium, he loved Burns, and he would have loved Paolos' rendition.
im from donegal and i think paolo nutuini is a legend and he makes this song great. C mon Donegal
Still a classic version of one of the greatest scottish songs of all time
Love this! My 10 and 8 year old are now walking about the house singing Burns, makes me so happy!
What a man! What a country! So much pride...I love this!
Makes me wish I was Scottish!!!
without a shadow of a doubt the best version i have heard. Burns would indeed be proud. A great tribute to a national legend, well done Paulo man
Wow! Paolo is one of the best musicians of our time and he makes me proud to be Scottish!
Why the fuck would you vote no!?! Scotland is the greatest country on the planet! Thumbs up if you have Scottish Pride!
Rowan Bass YAAASSSSS
As Burns' himself said; "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn!"
I'm a proud to be Scottish. Wouldn't be any other nationality.
I’m weeping tears of joy at this wonderful version.
I want to see Paolo Nutinit do a whole album of Burns covers.
That trail was blazed already by The Corries
Oh my gosh, I freaking love this song! He's amazing! I'm not even Scotish whatsoever, but I'm totally with all of you for your independence! If I could, I would vote yes! :D
the 13 people who disliked this obviously cant hear!
I agree.
And 9 years later, there are 28 ass holes more. Forget them.
Today, more than ever, listen and believe, we are worth more than any politician!!
burns is a fuckin genius, wee paolo does the song much justice and this is my favourite version of the song by a country mile. moan the jocks
Paolo is just amazing! No wonder the young people of Scotland have made his records million sellers, and I admire their choice and taste in music, they are spot on !!!! Albainn gu Brath,

I love his vibratto - it reaches places other singers' can't!
Being something of a traditionalist I knew I was going to hate this - I was wrong, it was excellent! They stuck to the tune, though played in a modern, punchy style and they stuck to the words and sang them with vigor and passion.
sirderam1 Well done to you! You obviously have an open mind willing to embrace change. Much power to you! 🎵
Simaler views to an extent best version of us ye jacobites I've heard was put the gether by serb, love it !
OMG He truly IS a real Scot! What I wadnae gie tae hear'm sing "Flower of Scotland" at the op'nin o' a national rugby match! NZ in the fa' mebbe? We can on'y hope!

Superb Paolo if i ever leave Scotland i will be in tears to this
Still so good x
Och aye, vote YES!
All those complaining about cultural descent "and a' that" are the kind of people who Burns eloquently scorns within his song.
I wish I was the same age as Paulo....In Scotland (which means the whole fuckin' world...) his music, words and general feel are real! If I should be so privileged as to work with Paolo Nutini I would consider myself blessed....the MAN'S THE GOWD for aw that

His mum comes from Glasgow and his dad side of the family has been in Scotland for 4 generations! I THINK THATS PRETTY DAMN SCOTTISH!
The Scottish Nation has been under the English heel since 1707! Forget the religious side - England has been under a German Monarchy for these 300 years - Scotland must take back Her Birthright - an enlightened vision of the future which embraces ALL Nations as Brothers and Sisters One World - One Love!

I've not heard it like that very often, I think it depends where you come from in Scotland . But then, that's prety much the same for anything.
