“Frightened Rabbit's is a terrific version of the song, and Scott's vocal is full of emotion and truth. I can see the wee boy he once was in his face as he sings. Travel on well, son, you were beautiful.” Mike Scott

[@thesensitivesouls]

Lorrico14 such beautiful words, every time I listen to this I always read this comment, you can see the wee boy when he sings! You are truly missed Scott! Your words and way of performing makes me feel something like I'm not alone, there's always hope. I hope you have found the peace you were looking for!

[@Lorrico14]

Jamie Strachan They are. Mike Scott just captured Scott beautifully. I’m a huge Waterboys fan & this is the best cover I’ve heard of this song. I’m only sorry he was in such pain.

A wonderful version of an amazing song; I'm so sorry I forgot how much I loved it when it was an original but listening to it, and the covers, I want to learn to play the guitar just so I can play this song competently. This version is one of the covers that drives me to want to sing my version of these beautiful lyrics. Thank you.

[@CammyBouse]

I listen to this every Hogmany, and every time it makes me cry. I hope Scott has found peace.

[@manofhonor1685]

What’s Hogmany? I love this song so much. I wish i could have met him

[@adafrogg7646]

2023: still miss him and the music he didn’t make. Still struggle with the same thing that took him. A tough fight. But I hope he’s at peace.

The loss of Scott Hutchison remains difficult to fathom. We are only human beings down here and this is a tough planet. It is a tough planet and don't let anyone tell you different.

Come gather in my lungs, Scottish wind Belt out your blackest poems As the sea around you sings When that drone takes to the air A single note to raise my hair Carry songs beyond my lungs cold, Scottish wind This raises my hair every Hogmanay. Miss you Scott.

[@updownleftrightish]

He just made everything feel real. Feel like it had something. He had a gift beyond many of his peers.

[@frankharley2608]

One of the biggest regrets in my life not getting to see Scott and the Rabbit boys playing live..Sleep easy my Scottish brother..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 one love✌️

[@updownleftrightish]

Same internet stranger, same

[@seanzorn3728]

I think this exact thought at least once a day.

[@paulrhyslloyd1]

One of the biggest regrets that I have is going to the 2000 Trees Festival the one year when they were headlining and not paying them enough attention or giving them enough appreciation.

[@dee2211]

One of mine is not going to see them for an 8th time, never too much.

[@loraparral5079]

Greetings from California. I just discovered them 3 months ago and have listened to their songs every single day since finding them. I tell everyone I know to listen to them. I was shattered to hear Scott is no longer with us. I wish I could have seen them live, I am grateful to KZbin & all of you for posting their music. I cry at his songs because they are so raw, truthful and tragically beautiful. I love finding new songs from them. This cover is amazing! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@rw8733]

They are just a great band. I'm so glad I have discovered them. It's a shame it was only this year.

[@christophergardner8605]

Scott would have loved the irony of it.

[@bazmc13]

Every New Years I watch this.. RIP Scott❤️

[@ColinMcleod-mx4wg]

Honestly Was not a massive follower of frightened rabbit wish I was....glad I found them .... but had a few songs on various playlists ... gutted for Scott's nearest and dearest ... seen a friend of mines family with same scenario, the after the fact action for the family was, is and forever will be a day to day manage, can't blame a soul for letting go, but the turmoil they feel doesn't end with them ... it's carried on . Anyone reading .... It gets better x ✌👍👌

[@oggy20111]

Fuck sake this song actually had me in tears. 1 year since my pal took his life and was not much younger than Scott. 😥 even though they look and act fine you don't know what's going on in their head. RIP Lee and Scott

[@clairehalkett3022]

Absolute legend this man was!! Look over and think of him every time I cross the road bridge. Never forget how frightened rabbits music has got me through many a time xx

Ready to toast the New Year and raise one to Scott once more. He left us everlasting beauty in the music.

[@frankgallagher8685]

The best cover of this ever

[@raveagainstracism]

These years on and it's still as beautiful as when I first heard it.

[@braddayton]

Mike Scott has been among my favorite artists since I dropped the needle on A Pagan Place in 1985. Scott Hutchison is my favorite for the last 12 years, since I pressed play on Midnight Organ Fight in 2008. This is a dream come true. RIP Scott. Thanks for the music.

[@manofhonor1685]

I love the upbeat kinda happy way he says “you came just like a comet!”

[@johannaorand4679]

I miss you so much, Scott. I hope if some intangible part of you is still adrift out there, maybe it will bring at least an iota of peace to know how much your life and music has gotten others through the same struggle.

[@hannahwatt2642]

We're all still missing you Scott! I'm sure more than you would ever know. Rest peacefully x

[@lindseymorris9670]

I am at a point in my life where I am watching this daily. It swells my heart 🥲 in the best way

First time listening to the rabbit for a couple of years. Been too painful to come back. This is truly beautiful.

Heartbreak feels like Frightened Rabbit...it's virtually all I listen to. I'm a 50 year old man still feeling like a heart broken teenager and aching to swim until I can't see land. Goodbye cruel world x

[@vasway4210]

How random this world can be that leads one person to another. Even though I'm finally over the heartbreak of my last relationship, I can still feel the pain listening to Frightened Rabbit. Their music touches me more deeply than any band has before. I'm sorry if you're going through a hard time, but please don't give up. It does get better. I went through over 15 years of depression, had suicidal thoughts, took a really dark path in life. Sometimes things would get better, but I'd always end up thinking "it always comes back to this, maybe I should just kill myself" Eventually I knew I needed help & got it. Now I'm happier than I've ever been. Just wanted you to know that someone is always listening & cares. Ill say a prayer for you. You know, Scott's passing still makes me cry. he touched so many people & through that he lives on in us. Please don't give up. Life is precious even when it doesn't seem it.
