Legend has it that Tommy walked 500 miles to film the footage for this video.

[@denisedavies5859]

Wow, a Swede singing with a Scottish accent. Excellent!

[@miksologia]

Yes, but now I can finally understand the lyrics 😂

[@jay-d6667]

As a Scotsman this makes me happy 🤟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@AngelikaMay-mm5mk]

What a funny song. The right music to wake up. 👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@taika.melissa2798]

This time I didn't cry, I smiled! It's so happy and light! It makes me feel the way I felt when I fell in love for the 1st time in my life. 😊 Thank you so much, Tommy - you really made my day! 😊🔥

[@grampawatson5539]

Well done sir! This is one of our most popular songs in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. As a Scotsman I can say you nailed it. You did a braw job

[@hakubishin49]

I like how Tommy is filmed walking throughout the video while singing a song about walking 500 miles.

[@jonasthemovie]

The walking in the video is purely coincidental.

[@gillkati6294]

Are all Swedish people like you, happy and oh so good looking. Lovely rendition of this song and far surpasses the Proclaimers versions, which I must admit was an excellent version but your version was so much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Lots of love from the UK. 🇬🇧 I

[@fishingbear5538]

That's how covering should sound like!

[@nancycouch124]

Ah yes Tommy. Brilliant way to win a young girls heart. I hope you sing this song to your girlfriend. Some girls won't admit it , but deep down every girl wants to be loved just like that, by a strong manly man. I never heard the original, but you own it, just like almost all of the songs you cover. And you look so happy, like you are not performing, but so very natural. As always, good work Tommy J. May The Lord Jesus, continue to Bless You and yours.

[@GroovyVintageLady]

When you have an awful and hard Monday , when you're sad ...just listen to this song !! All clouds go away ☀️♥️

Tommy is born in Boden, the highland of Sweden. So I guess it is very close to the highland of Scotland🤘🤘🤘

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

This song describes how I feel about my Marriage to my Wife. We exchanged our Vows in September 2001 and I plan on being with her until "Death do us part". Thanks to the Proclaimers for creating this Song, and thanks to you for your Wonderful Cover of it!

Great cover Tommy. That's the way I feel about my wife. We'll be celebrating 40 years of marriage this year.

[@michaelsouthard4179]

This young man is the most blessed and gifted musician on this planet. God bless you brother and keep sharing your gifts with the troubled world.

[@handsinthefire]

The eyebrows at the end. If you weren't feeling special by that point, then you were feeling special after. Thanks Tommy.

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

Oh I can tell he's a charmer! Lucky is the one who gets to be the one who walks 500 miles -- and more! -- with him. 😁

Scotland thanks you for covering our unofficial national anthem (ie the one that gets played at the end of the night and everyone joins together, arms round our shoulders, jumps up and down and sings along 😂) And I so want to visit these woods!!!xx

[@JimmyOlsson]

Describe talent! Me: Tommy Johansson 🤩

[@erikacook7323]

Happiest metal song ever! I never realized how sweet these lyrics were because the song wasn't really my style.

[@Badgerofoccam]

Once again, anything is metal. You just apply a generous dose of Tommy Touch to it.

[@philipmulcahy7234]

It's 6.55am here in Rhode Island USA and Tommy Johansson just made my day 😁

[@justlittleoldme]

The was brilliant! People laughed at that song all those years ago but it has stood the test of time. I liked it then and I like it now 😀

[@Talvi_Sota]

It's a masterpiece

[@Baerbel2703]

I grew up in the 80s and 90s ... 500 miles (by the Proclaimers) started every party!!!🤘

[@YTAna841]

This time the atmosphere was different and fresh! It was very, very beautiful, alternating between images from the tour and images of lovely lakes and forests! Thank you for the beautiful song! Have a great weekend!😄

[@okame_jp]

I listen to this song endlessly when I go for a walk and it makes me walk light and light hearted😉👍🏃‍♀❣

[@carinapersson5539]

Who would've thought that the favourite part of this video is a very cool guitarist slowly walking towards you while playing his guitar 🎸🚶🏼‍♀️😎

[@annegilbert4786]

This cover is awesome 🔥🔥 Who would have thought the Proclaimers would receive the Tommy treatment! Loving the guitar too. Tusen tack for cheering up my Friday, Tommy!

[@user-my6kh5by3n]

i wonder if copyright permission is ever an issue

[@engeltjebaleno]

​@@user-my6kh5by3n nah, getting a tommy cover is like what getting a wierd al cover was back in the days; a great honor.

[@ACyash]

There really isn't a song you can't cover. Your voice is perfect for everything.

[@Talvi_Sota]

The one and only meme music made 500% more epic. I will listen to that on my way to school every day now

I'm convinced there's absolutely no song you can't make better! The arrangement was so perfect, the expressions were so fun, the video was so creatively captured! Thank you so much for making such a happy and fun start to our weekend! 😃

[@franksharal5512]

He did great in this song but calling it better then the original is disrespectful

[@elizabethofstainlesshearts]

@@franksharal5512 I'm sorry - I definitely meant no disrespect to the original artists! I was just excited as I greatly admire and enjoy the way Mr. Johansson's arrangements turn out. I'll be more careful about my wording in the future. Thank you for the reminder to do so! : )

[@RonniePeterson]

No disrespect to the Proclaimers but I was never a fan of this song when it came out many moons ago. But this cover revealed not just how incredible Tommy is, we all know that, but what a great track this actually was.

[@user-sm9bl2vf7m]

Tommy you nailed another one of my favorite songs❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@alandurier]

It must feel insane to be that talented. Another pearl. Discovering here....

[@sunny_yes_its_me]

Very cool and entertaining 😎👍 great summer vibes ☀️🎸

[@kaelynshea5533]

That is an amazing video, great music, great landscapes...great singer😅❤. I love that cover. It has a great drive and is the perfect walking song great beat, great rhythm and I love that little snake😊❤

[@karolykovacs6719]

Tommy, this was a very imaginative, and very funny video. And you did it! I don't know how you can come up with such great stuff. Great implementation. I'm not even talking about the music anymore, because it's always perfect. The sound, the mixing excellent. I like to see this creative and cheerful Tommy. 😃 Of course I know, you can't be cheerful all the time. Anyone who sees this video, it will definitely put a smile on your face. 😁The forest, where you walked, is beautiful. Thanks and respect for the many, many Friday videos. 🙏🙏 I'm looking forward to next Friday with the Tommy-team, as OldSkuleNerd calls us. 👍

Smiling Big😊Happy song choice⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great video creation!! Have an awesome 500 miles every day of the week 🚶‍♂️🎉

[@helen_hellfire_dixon]

Awesome video 😁

[@addhoc256]

after 3:09 that musical arrangement is getting insane! fanastic! The voice range of Tommy is much wider than the original song so it would have been so easy to just add a few modulations and high yells here and there. But no: he kept the song monotone to enhance the feeling of walking far, and then added the high notes in the background to create the most beautiful musical rocky landscape. So genius!!

[@hannehammer4603]

Fox on the run... ups, wrong song! 😁 Tommy on the run... Thank you, for this lovely cover - it brings a smile directly to my face! I wish you and everyone here a wonderful weekend! 🌞🥰

[@fus149hammer5]

Hopefully Fox will be a future release 🙏 😊

[@raquelmiranda3477]

I never knew that this song could be covered, but man... BRAVO!!! Love everything about it!!!

[@anthonyhitchman9789]

Your music taste is like mine it’s all over the place. I feel like I’m inside you. We have the same ensationable taste in music. Do you know your music has made me feel 35 years younger. I am so pleased at the age of 64 I want to feel that way forever ❤❤❤❤

[@kickieriksson1451]

The most Swedish guitar ever, I love it! 😍 Love the song too, obviously. 😉
