I'm sitting right now, listening to this song, sitting by the waters of the River Tay and adding to the level. It's been almost fifty years since I returned and it's as if I never left. I want this played at my funeral, but sung by Jean Redpath. Her voice really does 'turn towards the sea'.

I think I heard this song once when I was around 10 years old. Nearly 30 years later and it randomly popped into my head and a bit of Googling brought me here. Enjoyed this!

I stumbled upon the Wild Geese /Norland Wind. I understood it as I understand my relatives in Blairgowrie and up the north east coast with their spiritual connection to the land and others who suffered their own "highland clearance in different parts of Scotland. I have much disdain too for those aristocrats who hounded honest folk off their land and robbed them of their source of food, in the Lowl:nds of Scotland, by passing the Inclosure Acts in the Westminster Parliament. "Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourne".

Is there a version of this song without the Scottish words as I'd love to sing it but could never do it justice with my accent :)
@annagillies67372 жыл бұрын
Violet Jacob wrote in Scots. Why would you want to change that? Just sing the Scots, like learning any other song.

I remember attending a folk night at a hotel in Barnhill around 1971. It might have been the Woodlands Hotel. A slim, quite long haired young man turned up. He explained that he'd broken a guitar string and couldn't afford to replace it until the next "brew" payment. He then went on to entertain us with his original songs. This was a young Mick Marra at the start of his career. And what a great, inventive, original artist he turned out to be...

Tears, my dad and Jim were pals, I didnt know who Jim was, I'd never heard of him, my dad explained and if he could get Jims music, he'd be buzzing.So got my dad a couple of albums sent to his house in England. Never heard a happier old guy, still dont think he knows who bought they albums.
