A RED, RED ROSE by Robert Burns, sung by Andy M. Stewart

It's one of the Bard of Scotland's great poems, sung by Andy M. Stewart with Gerry Butler as Rabbie Burns. 18th and 19th century Scottish paintings and etchings were adapted as the background, and a number of actresses portray Burns' wife and many loves. One can only hope that the movie about the life of Robert Burns will one day be made. If anyone can do it, Gerry Butler is the man.

[@KaetheV]

The greatest love of my life, my husband, who died far too long ago, dedicated this poem to me and now it always makes my cry because it reminds me of his love for me.

I am moved to tires when I read your message

[@gaggymott9159]

May his soul rest in eternal peace.... Till a' the seas gang dry 😞😞😞

[@jeanmax236]

He is with you. He never left. His love enwraps you and when you dream of him, he is with you. You will meet again.

[@rosti93]

O my Luve's like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie That’s sweetly song in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry: Till a’ the seas gang dry, my love, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun: I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Luve And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

[@mosherudin2463]

Robert Burns, like so many of the great and mighty poets and artists, taken too young like so many of these great singers of his immortal songs, stirring a love for the Scottish highlands even for those of us who have yet to visit...

[@clairedavison5607]

This is by far the best version I’ve heard and it’s also one of my favourite songs. Brings back happiest memories of my children when they were small and my parents when my my Mum was alive.

[@Arkybark]

Andy was inducted posthumously into the Scottish traditional music hall of fame on 3 December 2016.

[@craigmcintosh7241]

It's a shame it was posthumously. Andy Stewart is the embodiment of Scots vocal music!!

[@paulmellon7598]

Agreed! I learned more from Andy than I ever have elsewhere. He taught me that folk signing involved accompanying yourself. We shared a few stories in the Bon Accord bar in Glasgow, and he was the embodiment of humanity and decency. In the Bard's words ... I will love thee still my dear, 'ere the sands o' life shall run? If only we had Andy to sing it for us today ...?

[@harrisonvandewalle4904]

Rest in peace Mr. Stewart such talent will not soon be forgotten.

[@maycoats4901]

The most beautiful love song ever written, composed by a genius. ROBERT BURNS.

[@koalateacontent5094]

He didn't technically write it. it already existed in scottish folk culture, and he, more or less, popularized it (by publishing it) and made it a symbol of their independence from the politically dominant england.

[@luvbach1]

As far as all I've read of Burns he wrote Red, Red Rose.

[@annonymous2779]

Burns wrote the POEM. It was a POEM. It was turned into a song (with a chorus, because the poem only had the stanza once) by "modern-day" musicians.

[@alexbirrell4568]

@@koalateacontent5094 what utter nonsense.

[@leonmcnair4615]

@@koalateacontent5094 You have it in reverse. Robert Burns wrote the poem, and then later published it as a song loosely using an already-existing Scottish folk tune. It is with the same respect as Scots Wha Hae, only that tune Tuttie Tatie is far more ancient and can be traced back at the very least to 1314.

[@jamesstuartbrice420]

beautiful picture show to accompany the song. simply wonderful. Andy with his great Robert Burns appropriate voice and the nice background accompaniment.

[@Kaira90211]

Andy Stewart has such an enchanting voice.

[@CHLiu-tn2gx]

This song was listened for the first time in English class when I was a freshman student. Even after so many years passed, I am still so easily touched by its sweet melody and deep feelings of the lyrics… also sang by singer with such a beautiful voice … will last forever in my mind…

[@MrEGA94]

Who knew a Scot could be so tender!? Just beautiful, and it becomes more pertinent every year I read/listen to it.

[@costumecowgirl]

worked with this guy for 20 years,in his real job! the best singer of Burns known to man, wiping tears as I type

[@johncstinson1960]

sad to here of andy's passing. He was a fantastic artist, who i could listen to all day long.

[@meangenetattoos]

Aye the love of poetry runs in the veins of all Scotts throughout the free world as Robbie Burns lives in the music he wrote. Sung by another proud Scot in Andy Stewart...

[@madeleineschumacher7828]

How lucky I am to stumble upon this beautiful song. It's a gift...

[@Pardan]

I pray to the gods of Heaven and Earth that this song will remain with us until the sun grows cold. Hearing it for the first time made me weep with longing, longing for that true, that eternal love that we all desire yet so few ever find. Robert Burns, I salute thee!

[@CyanideXMoon]

i love this so much. it was my grandmas fav robby burns and we had the last 2 verses of the poem in the wee book at her funeral... always makes me cry

[@revisann]

I first fell in love with Robert Burns music when I was twelve and read this poem in English Literature class. In college, PBS had a couple singing many of his songs at the end of Masterpiece Theater. I fell deeper in love with his words and music. A close friend, who has a beautiful tenor voice, sang this at our wedding.

[@nancynicol8495]

This song is so pure ,and lovely, speaks about my husband's love to me and my love to him.You are forever loved.

[@aarongutierrez678]

I was touched to this song.

[@purpleartimis]

I first heard this song in the movie Made of Honor. I like it a lot in the movie. So I looked it up and I think the song is really great.

[@EarthREALTOR]

So beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes! So special!!

[@troutboy3]

Rabbie Burns and Andy Stewart are a perfect match, the Poems and the VOICE....

[@Macangusagain]

Then let us pray that come it may, (As come it will for a' that,) That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth, Shall bear the gree, an' a' that. For a' that, an' a' that, It's coming yet for a' that, That Man to Man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that. Robert Burns , my hat and heart are tipped your way. How I wish you had lived 100 years ,the more to fill our world with your breathtaking Scottish words of wonder !!! Albainn gu brath

[@johnc485]

Looking forward to celebrating yet another Burn's Supper tonight. Best wishes to all my friends in Scotland who will no doubt be doing the same. It's " Rusty Nails " all round for me. ( Drambuie + Single Malt ) Thanks for this wonderful tribute

[@LisaBumgarnerLRB]

That's wonderful, enjoy. When I get the chance to Visit Scotland I want to come during one of the many wonderful events such as that..xxx

The song " Ye banks and braes " is one of the legendary songs I've ever heard . This man got some really melodic mind. This song is good too.

A truly beautiful version of this song. It reminds me so much of home.

[@Cronopioslover274]

Beautiful song, a great tribute to Robert Burns.

[@GEORGEROV]

Andy M Stewart is a tremendous folk singer but the greatest love song in the world deserves a classical singer. Kenneth McKellar did the best version.

[@lillianknudson1127]

My compliments to the G Girls for this fabulous tribute to both Robbie Burns and our beloved Scot, Gerry.

[@nomie0999]

What a beautiful song--I just love Andy's voice!! The old pictures fit well with the tune; well done!

[@newtojo]

Simply the greatest lyrics ever written.

[@elibethobbit]

I love hearing this sung the way it should be. As someone from the land of boring accents (US), it's lovely to hear this song. And it is one of the best love poems/songs ever written.

[@babybookworm003]

cheers to that i'm unfortnantly missing the burns supper this year due to lack of funds.

[@hadyn42]

This is a great poem, and a great song too. Its unfortunate that people spend more time arguing in these comments than actually commenting the video. Stop arguing over whether or not the Scottish were for a Great Britain. It happened...get over it.

[@NSResponder]

When Andy Stewart or Dougie MacLean sing a Robert Burns song, we learn why these songs have lasted so long. I never had any idea how beautiful a song "Auld Lang Syne" was before I heard MacLean's version. -jcr

great song amazing just found i love irish singers they have such a voice that no one else has

[@iainmacinnes1660]

As a guitarist-singer of six decades I was asked to perform at a casual Ceilidh by the Manila St Andrews Society in the Philippines last year. Although I did not know a lot of Scottish songs, my performance was well received. I will include this song in my line up this year.

This is so beautiful. I'm listening to it and reading along to the poem at the same time. It's just so wonderfully beautiful.

[@babybookworm003]

reading back on some of the comments i feel the need to say something Robert burns Loved his women but he was and is one of the greatest poets and song writers of his time thats why they still celebrate his birthday world wide. To use deroectory remarks regarding his love life or work ie the term mixed breeding and scots is an inuslt to his works and heritage

[@LauraBethEliza]

This is the only version of this that I've found that compares to John McDermott's rendition. I think I may like this one a bit better, even. What a beautiful voice Andy Stewart has!

[@lagoondiver]

I love the thought of a movie with Gerard Butler playing Robert Burns!
