Runrig - An Ubhal As Airde The Highest Apple - 2018 Farewell

This is a film put together by myself to celebrate Runrig and their last dance. I have used the version of An Ubhal As Airde from my Cutter and the Clan album. The clip of Donnie is a copy from my City of Lights DVD I have dropped it in to B&W and slowed it down. I wanted some footage of Donnie and this was the only way I could do it. Other than that clip everything else is filmed by myself.
I have already posted one tribute with Bruce singing Hearts of Old & Glory so wanted one with Donnie too.
See this link.... • Runrig Hearts of Old &...
After 45yrs Runrig are finishing in August 2018 :(
We are unable to make it to the last dance in Stirling so we hope you and the band all have a great time :D
Music is ....An Ubhal as Airde by Runrig
copyright Chrysalis music 1988
This song was written in North Uist in 1983 by C & R Macdonald
Lyric translation is.....
The Highest Apple
You are with me now.
My eyes closed, my memory confident
Standing here watching
Each hill and shoreline
And the seed you left still growing
The garden is well stocked
With mighty trees
With fruit growing for the whole world
The ripe, the sweet And the bitter apples
And the one apple that is beyond reach
Who amongst us can exist one single day
Beyond our own time and our own limits
Countless and futile
Are the times I've climbed
To reach and taste the forbidden fruit
The winds will blow
and the sun will shine
From generation to generation
Through the trees of the garden
But the day and hour will surely come
To take the highest apple
From the knowledge tree.

This song by Runrig means so much to me. As i lost my dear mum this year. After 59 years of marriage she passed away peacefully this year.

I'm German and love foreign languages. The gaelic language deeply impresses me. Btw I'm a huge RUNRIG fan. Had the opportunity seeing them live back in the early 90s❤

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

So glad you got to see them live , they really were a great band to see live ; )

I have a health problem and am waiting for an operation. I can't believe this has happened just before i was due to see Runrig for the last time. I will watch Runrig DVD's on Saturday night like you and i have passed my ticket on to another Runrig fan so someone is happy. Hopefully the final concert DVD will be issued quickly!

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

I am so sorry to hear that we hope your health problem gets sorted out and yes let us hope that the DVD is not too long in coming out fingers crossed we can all have it in our christmas socks ! Take care of yourself :D Teddy

[@enyaq_gorm]

@@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear yes I'm the same, hard to believe this day has come finally. Reading Rory's account of the week after the last dance was particularly moving and sad.

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Yes it was ;(

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Yes it was I got emotional just reading it :(
