Amy Macdonald & Glaswegians - Rhythm of My Heart - XX Commonwealth Games 2014 [Opening Ceremony]

[@JeanCallander-n9t]

I'm originally from Glasgow. Now live in England. Crying while watching this. I will always be a proud Glaswegian.

[@Jim-sn7zp]

Being a clydesider and volunteer through out the games this will always have my heart as Will Scotland

[@danbytp]

Glasgow is the best place to live,work,and sing!😁

[@jerzybrzezinski9825]

I'm Polish, been living in Glasgow for the past decade. I could never explain this, but there is a sense of space and freedom about this City. I have always felt so free in here. I remember when after initial couple of yers in Glasgow I moved back home for four years. The longing in my heart was incredible, I had dreams with these three colours: steel blue sky, deep green, red sandstone... When came to visit again, it was cloudy and rainy, I felt so happy and relieved... Like coming home... strange feeling to develope after only such a short stay. Now I know it's all about the physical beauty of the place combined with people's hearts. Even the junkies are trying to be polite and nice 😂 Never heard a single bad word against me in Scotland, always refered to as Big man (im 6ft4) even by total strangers kids and grannies alike which I find hillarious. Love the peculiar superpolitness like when person leaving the shop always steps back to let you in hahaha 😂 It took me a long while to adapt to it. In Poland it's the other way round. I raise six beautiful children. All they ever get from people is love and smiles and praise. Makes me think, God they are not prepared for the real world 😅. And they all speak pure Glaswegian which i personally think is the funniest and the most distinctive of all English accents. Always tried to master it. Locals will get amused and recognise I must be a Dutchman whilst down south I am taken for a Scot yeaaaah!!! As a builder I get to see peoples homes a lot. Cant imagine more music loving nation. There's a guitar or a piano or drums or sth else in every second place! Everyone sings and sings well. Clean water in taps, wilderness half an hour drive away from City, clean air, cheap life, pubs full of Dwarfs and Hobbits... its almost too good to believe. And when Im in the hills on my own, looking down on Loch Lomond and singing quietly to myself By yon bonny banks... I often look in the sky and cry a little and thank you God for making Scotland and letting me be part of it ❤❤❤

[@ianmurdoch7089]

That was fuckin beautiful man

[@marierobertson8267]

This makes my heart sing, just reading this comment now but it brought a tear to my eye xx we welcome u in scotland, and ur family xxx

Just a brilliant song thank you Amy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sarakovacs1496]

I am Hungrian, but used to live in Glasgow for 3 years between 2015-2018. Although me and my family moved back to Hungary, we feel blessed to have two homes, as our heart - especially my kids' - will always be a bit Scottish. This video always makes me so emotional. P.s: my wee son still has his hard Glaswegian accent. :)

[@susanlittlejohn8054]

couldnt have a better accent...... Scots are amazing..

I was born in Glasgow, 1948, left in 1966 at 17 years old, off to see the World, but I always had Glesga in my heart of hearts. This brought tears to my auld eyes.

[@TheKraig]

Well here's a wee hello from Kinning Park, you're always welcome back. I'm the guy on the bench with the daffodil pin badge beside the auld guy. I called him my 'da' for the whole thing.

@@TheKraig :The Glasgow I left in 1966 is nothing like the Glasgow of today, thankfully, as it was shitehole in the 1950s. However I will never live in the UK ever again but thanks for the invite.Im comfy where I am now.

Been there. It's okay. It's just the thick accent that gives a headache. One of the worst in Scotland. Couldn't understand my boss even after 3 months.

@@Buckblacket uneducated??. Is that right wee 'man'?. I don't care if you dislike or loath or even hate the people of Scotland, who are btw SCOTS or SCOTTISH.

The reason this song is so wonderful,is that it is has a universal quality.Replace Glaskow with any other town in the planet,it will sound the same.It's a song about homesickness,hope and courage.I'm Greek,we have bounds with Irish and Scottish alike.We're on the same ship together,people...As for Amy...she's the bomb.

My father was English and my mother was Scottish, but I have more Scots pride in me than I do English. Flower of Scotland was one of my father's favourite songs. I suppose serving 21 years with a Scottish army regiment and being married to an Aberdonian quine made my father an adopted Scotsman.
