That is the best song ever donnie Munro's voice is nobody can sing it like him just awesome

[@suewright1299]

My husband and I adore Runrig, a really fantastic band headed by the amazing voice of Donnie Munro! We went to see the band when Bruce Guthro took over from Donnie, but I detested the flashing lights which you just couldn’t get away from, never again! For us the group stopped being Runrig once Donnie left and we’ll always adore them. You’re a wonderful singer Donnie and it’s so lovely to hear your talking voice in An Abhal An Airde! Very many thanks indeed lads, you’re just amazing.

Discovered Runrig in the late 1970s and have followed them ever since, seen them live many, many times. Fans all around the world, but as we all know, the BBC made their political decision (due to the rise in Scottish support for independence) not to give them much airplay/minimal airplay. If things had been done differently, Runrig could have been so much bigger (and Scots may have still trusted the BBC).

Donnie Munro & Runrig sing this to there now Former Lead Singer in tribute to his Passing !! Rest In Peace Our Dear Freind Bruce !! Your Voice was Part of Runrig for Many Years. We will Meet again One Day as All Our Runrig Fans & followers will Also.

[@eoghand1719]

For me Donnie Munroe is still the voice of Runrig. When he sings, songs become powerful. We can hear the strength of his voice as if songs were a part of him. I like Bruce Guthro too, but it's not the same atmosphere even Runrig remains a Great Band. Greetings from France

[@markmillyard5868]

That's so beautiful that's my favourite song I remember that song from the television advertisement its an powerful and calming song which to me explains the feelings of Scotland and I love Scottish people because they are loyal to there country. Some day I will come up to Scotland.

[@1234565845]

The Voice of Runrig for ever! ❤❤❤

[@stephencol36]

[@michaelkennedy8573]

So many years has passed since the passing of your mother, time makes things hurt less but the pain of your mother not being there is still there and I hope you’ve found peace.

[@frankmckie2992]

What a beautiful song my brother was my hero and best friend ever! he was and for me the highest apple, he passed too soon but we had plenty of good times and iv loads of memories, till we meet again jim love you ❤

[@harriet2501]

So beautiful. I'm so very glad I've at last discovered Runrig and Donnie Munro. I'm sure the new lead singer is good but Donnie's voice has something magical about it.

[@laurajojo64]

This is the first Runrig song I ever heard. It was on a TV advert. I went out and bought "The Cutter and the Clan" album and have been a fan ever since. Like many others it is one of my funeral songs as well.

[@lorettakedward3259]

Same here !

[@markhayes4149]

This song is in my head when my dad passed away back 1995. Amazing Song

[@Hipppy1001]

This was my Dad's Favorite!! Can't listen to it with Mum now without crying.

[@iannicol4519]

Brilliant

[@goose2021]

Always sends shivers down my spine. so eerily beautiful!

[@johnallan3735]

Yes it sure does he was the voice of runrig nd the highest apple was my fathers favourite as its in gaelic so so lovely to listen too

[@Veritas1164]

First heard this in an advert and so then bought my first Runrig album. Been a superfan every since and have all their albums and have seen them in concert.

[@patrickharte9181]

One of the finest songs ever written...it moves the very mountains of bonnie Scotland!

[@paperworks9670]

Because of this song I learnt Gaelic. Thanks!

[@harriet2501]

I adore this song. ADORE it. I sit in front of the cd player with the Gaelic lyrics in front of me as I listen. However, I am making but slow progress in identifying all of the sounds. It's a really tricky language! Love it when the choral voices all surge in to join Donnie's. It's as thought they can hardly wait :)

[@patrickharte9181]

Runrig make that connection with humanity...they just get into your heart and you don't want them to leave. Wonderful song that hints at what binds us all together!!!

[@ScottishShorts]

In the whole of my life I never thought I would ever see the Galic sung in big halls in the south All I need now before I pass is a blue passport with a big white cross on it for when I come home from seeing Scotland win the world cup.

[@harriet2501]

One of the greatest voices ever in folk/rock. A fabulous band full of great musos and a lead singer with an really gorgeous voice. This song is so elegaic and lovely, I can well believe it has significance in people's lives.

[@raibeartcreagh604]

The absolute best band in the world for me - introduced to them when I was home in Glasgow around 1988.

[@Wad12br]

I am English of Scots heritage , I love my country , it's traditions our culture , there is no where else I rather be , but I'd like to see the highlands again , so maybe one day I'll return , this song is all about to me knowing your own limits , and realising the dreams we once had , well that's how I feel.

[@Ljotulfson]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@moragmckay3779]

Moves me to tears every time. One day I'll go to hear the psalm singing live, even if I have to take a detour on the low road to Sutherland.

[@MultiDiva73]

This reminds me of my mum who passed away 6 years ago beautiful , haunting xx

[@normanhowell4383]

think tis must be another of my most favourite tracks

[@dougfowler9266]

Inspirational! Just love it - it will be the first thing played at my funeral.

[@ChrisMum]

Beautiful song, but for my funeral I would like Let's Go Round Again by the Average White Band (another Scottish group).....

[@fligagoogoo]

Awesome, cheers from Edinburgh!!

[@davidgillies5342]

In loving memory of my dear mother who passed away peacefully on 19/2/21

[@terrygormely3970]

[@sherryrobinson7389]

Such a haunting ,moving melody...S.

[@cuthbert246]

I love this piece of music, the band was never the same after Donnie left.

[@petermcgee3299]

i agree, they "sort of" saved my life

[@claverhouse1]

They were not the same, they were better. Their final album is a fucking masterpiece.

[@thetardis2012]

only just really discovered this band from a doctor who audio drama that one of their songs was used in... but i like this one as well as the other one. its fantastic!

[@Alan-gu7gq]
