One of the most distinctively Scottish songs ever recorded. Runrig does it better than anyone.
@dergrammarfuhrer19018 жыл бұрын
I always thought the same, until I found out it was written by an American and a Czech guy and first recorded by a Dutch guy... (René Shuman, who released it in 1986, and TBH, if it wasn't so 80s-sounding his version would also be pretty good)

@Starmies46 жыл бұрын
It's correct. Although this song has a real Scottish flavor, Rene Shuman is the original singer. So Loch Lomond is the most distinctively Scottish song.

Hi Liz, yes, I can understand and appreciate that. It's all a matter of taste. But for me (personally) there is a ten class difference. Bruce lacks the power of Munro completely. Besides that, he is not Scottish Me neither, but when I want to listen to a Scottish band that claims to be Scottish, they HAVE to be Scottish. It's like a J-POP band without a Japanese singer, it's no longer a J-POP band (and I love a few J-POP bands also).

Yup, makes Rodders sound like a karaoke singer.....!
Of course you're entitled to your personal opinion, but if you're talking about the Runrig version, it's sung with the Gael's innate sense of emotion...an emotive part of a song does not necessarily have to be the quietest, deep feeling can be stirring.....
