[@julistarling8382]

Guess what? It still sounds like "I'll eat you all." Just like it did all those years ago. One of my very first favorite videos from all those years ago when KZbin was nearly new. Old times. ^____^ The Corries forever after. ♥

[@Elcore]

Imagining a Godzilla-sized Scottish Jesus stomping around a 1st century provincial Roman town joyously threatening to eat everyone, no matter their identity.

[@gregoryheers2633]

I like how they perform not on a platform but on the same ground as the audience. It gives a feeling of closeness, like the bards of old by the fireplace.

[@aileenlightbody91]

They were very good on the stage too, and in fact only really started doing shows like this in the later part of their career.

[@jryanconnelly]

yet ain't nobody dancin!

[@suzannelaing2968]

Answer to all 3; small venue. I think they played small venues from start as all musicians do and continued to play stages right through. We were at Paisley Town Hall for one of their last concerts before Roy had his brain surgery and have seen Ronnie perform solo on stage at the Glasgow Concert Hall years after.

[@redravenrages6321]

And shows how they think of themselves no greater or more powerful than the people they play for. They actually have respect for the people they play for, believe it or not. These things are very rarely seen in today’s “musicians” or celebrities. Quite egotistical these pop folk now.

[@joelhowells1615]

Only The Corries could have taken such a universally known song, and one sung by millions of schoolchildren around the world and made it sound so utterly original. Wonderful stuff.

[@LiLsCo0tZ]

I wiped my ass on the toilet this morning.. was more entertaining

[@21justjoan]

I had this as one of my hymns when I got married earlier this year, and you could hear the feet tapping above the singing, it was amazing

[@jessdunkley9688]

I'm 9 and I love the corries 😂😂

[@chinstrapx]

+Jessica Stewart Good girl, It's real music and the salt of the earth.

[@iaindonnachie6184]

It's people like you Jessica that will keep traditional scots folk tunes alive into the future.

[@toneades]

👍

[@jessicalouisestewart]

@@iaindonnachie6184 little update 5 years later 🤣 i’m 14 and still love the corries

[@mariafarrugia-harrison4491]

terrific musicians, brilliant voices, thanks for the lovely music. r.i.p. roy and god bless ronnie

[@meerutpat]

Love this hymn. Makes me want to dance. The words are so happy.

[@khizerhayat2450]

I like your name

[@klmklm194]

Not when, as a child, it sounds like "eat you all"!

[@daweshorizon]

The Corries version of this childhood hymn is unquestionably the best ever done. Stripped down to the fundamental story of Jesus's life but without the trappings of churchiness, Sydney Carter's words strike a chord with the basic essence of humanity, whatever belief background you come from: The Corries hit the nail on the head with this punchy but melodic rendition. Fab!

[@theophileburtz1624]

to be fairi love the Dubliners' one

[@daweshorizon]

@@theophileburtz1624 Fair comment, that's good too. The tune was an American Shaker hymn originally, called Simple Gifts, but it was played much slower and more like a dirge. Whichever way it is taken, it's a great tune and song. Love and peace.

[@RabbiHerschel]

Sydney Carter was a vile heretic, but I like this hymn because he set out to write a subversive hymn to thumb his nose at small-o orthodox Christianity, but forgot to put in the subversive bits.

[@daweshorizon]

@@RabbiHerschel I would love to know why you think Carter was a vile heretic.

[@RabbiHerschel]

@@daweshorizon it might have something to do with all the heretical things he said and wrote.

[@danonutube1]

Roy does so well in this all eyes are on Ronnie and his huge bodhran but roys interchange between flute and vocals are really good

[@BillDFC]

I am the dance and I still go on....I am the life that will never ever die...

[@redCrambler]

Amen.

[@artykatykat6742]

Thank you grandad for introducing me to the corries when i was tiny, love growing up with this ❤

[@LiLsCo0tZ]

your "grandad" was clearly a twat

[@melzypaterson894]

❤❤

[@Antennabetty1]

I love this song. My mom and I sang it in Church together. Everyone joined in on the song. It is very catchy :)

[@Andling]

2 of the very best voices in Folk Music EVER...!!

[@TartanBiscuit]

Sung this at Church on Holy Saturday & Easter Sunday. It's a brilliant song / hymn and I have never heard a version I didn't like.

[@LiLsCo0tZ]

anything religious is shit.. won't be long before religion dies out, and for the better. The millions killed in the name of religion.

[@emr5rmt]

I want this song, The Corries, to carry me from this life to whatever comes next. This version pops into my head from time to time, and always makes me smile. Thank you for uploading.

[@julistarling8382]

I was first here at this very same video a very long time ago. And I think this might have been the first Corries video I ever saw. I just barely knew who they were then. ^___^ One of their biggest fans now. ^____^ Love these guys. So sorry Roy died before I ever knew of him. Hello to anyone else who is still/again here from back then.

[@lmbk1]

Man back when I used to go to church this was my absolute favourite hymn

[@nobodyimportant6582]

My grandpa always used to play this song. Now he mostly plays Sinatra.

[@awmascrotum]

I forgot all about this song,as a kid we used to sing it at Sunday school(Chalmers church of Scotland, Uddingston) at Easter, we all used to go crazy because its such an upbeat tune

[@KiIlerman]

our taxi driver played this when he was driving on Hoy up in Orkney. What a lovely tune

[@ryanurquhart6114]

I live on hoy and love it an amazing place

[@rosebrown9265]

​@@ryanurquhart6114 amazing 😄 you can't never forget the Corrie's xx

[@sapien82]

the inclusion of the bodhran and flute in this version and of course the voices of roy and ronnie are magical

[@ZsuzsannaBudapest]

This is a remnant of a ancient Mens Mysteries. Lord of the Dance is divine.

[@kldudmp]

One of my favourite songs even better when it is sung by the Corries.

[@alastairmacdonald49]

Just watching this during a period of reflection this Easter time. I am fortunate to be at home with my wife and daughters during this lock-down, but this song should give everyone, everywhere a message of hope and optimism for the future.

[@mullofoban]

Superb musicians, excellent song - impossible not to tap your toes to. Brilliant message, conveyed with skill and talent. Twa braw lads !!

[@31011962singapore]

Very talented guys. Brilliant performers.

[@sprezzatura8740]

This is brilliant! This is one of my favorite hymns - it's so fun to hear a folksy version of it :)

[@hayton102]

brillant singers makes u proud too be scottish

[@scottferguson9978]

Such talent is rare but Roy and Ronnie had it in bucket loads! Ronnies bodhran is almost bigger than he is but my god he can make it sing.

[@iainmacmillan2548]

Remember when this was a staple of every Sunday School session, this and 'Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam'.....time for another glass of wine, to smother the memories...

[@DAVIDH101280]

i love the corries was brought up listening to them and i still listen to them there music is top class

[@longhornjames]

Thanks for you very kind explanation for all of us in the States uggyoggy9! I love this song! I discovered the Corries through random browsing a few months ago and thoroughly enjoy their music. Reading the insightful comments people post and researching the backgrounds of their songs has helped me to learn a tiny bit more about Scottish music, though I wish I knew more.

[@DAVIDH101280]

go ronnie and roy u sing like u own the song beautifully sung once again makes me proud tae be scottish listening to yous

[@Gilnar13]

Have a blessed Easter, everybody!

[@fionas365]

[@velveteenrabbitt]

nicely put. herehere to that!

[@fairfieldSteve108]

I think he is singing "I'll lead you all in the dance.." Makes sense that way.

[@nadiamurchie1949]

aye that's right. i'll lead you all wherever you may be, I'll lead you all in the dance said he. i had to sing that every sunday in bible class as a wean (child) even though it isn't an actual church song.

[@meriangeful]

Scottish and I hand it to them, xxx.

[@SlapTheMonkey100]

It's a great tune.

[@Phantomsbreath]

I wish I had one. It'd be awesome.

[@Maksimfan]

@joelhowells I know exactly what you mean. I used to have to sing this in middle school choir in assembly and was not a fan back then, and when I decided to lo longer be christian (at the age of twelve) I thought I'd heard the last of it but then I heard this aged 14 and I loved every second of it and still do!

[@jocelynshanks6199]

this song brings back memories from my childhood i had a tiny doll i made dance to it when i was about 4 or 5 :)

[@TheTomhamilton8]

[@jordansinclair281]

Legends

[@gaiacaecilia]

I don't know the origen of the words but the tune was origenally from Appalation springs by Aaron(sp?) Copland.

[@MMusashi7]

I played this song in band when we went to State in 2006 in high school when we got 3rd place. I was 1st chair trumpet.

[@kayleighinglis5861]
