The Corries - The Wild Mountain Thyme

[@ihategigglegigglesucks3081]

I played this at my wife's funeral it was played on our first serious date, and it seemed right to play it and Lorena at her funeral. My God, how I miss her, today is the anniversary of that date.

[@SmilePileProd]

I am so sorry for that loss. Something I've always liked about these traditional scot/irish songs is they acknowledge the inherent sorrow to any joy directly or indirectly. That you loved fearlessly and remember it is something I admire. Life gives us so few joys as great. I bet she was a presence to behold. Cheers to further risks from hope and beauty.

[@ihategigglegigglesucks3081]

SmilePileProd I did feel that way, she was a strong, and gentle lady, she might not have been perfect, but she was just perfect *for* me, I know she is looking down from Heaven and still watching over me. I feel her on a cool breeze in a still room and now it is a kiss. I have many great memories of her, including friends at a pub playing it for me on our first real date that and Gentle Annie by Tommy Makem were our songs.

I have a dearly departed friend. Before she succumbed to cancer, while she was still vibrant at a camping event, I asked her for a song to learn on my cello, in her behalf. She told me to learn this song. Forever in my heart, this song is hers. and I can still recall her joyous exuberance as we hiked around the campground that night. I barely got to know her, but I miss her.

I'd love to know the story of how this song saved your life! I've heard one song saved a life before, Stan Rogers The Mary Ellen Carter, with its refrain, "Rise again, rise again - though your heart it be broken And life about to end No matter what you’ve lost, be it a home, a love, a friend. Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. A man was drowning, and about to go down for the last time, when he heard this song in his mind and with all his dwindling strength - rose again. A passing boat saw him and rescued him. Please tell us your story. It won't tarnish the loving grief of the many who associate it with the ending of life.

I saw the Corries a few times in Glasgow in the 70's. My first concerts. Wonderful xxx

Roy Williamson......unbelievable voice and talent. Supported and assisted by the great Ronnie Brown

Hello Nicol

[@slimjim227]

Audience participation from the first note speaks volumes about the popularity and love of this song, and Ronnie Brown and Roy Williamson, the unforgettable Corries.

The applause says it all!! Beautiful rendition!!

[@billlamont1911]

I can still well remember a concert in Aberdeen in the early seventies where this song featured, with all the audience participation. I enjoy all sorts of music, and listen often, but have still not found anyone to replace the Corries for making me feel Scots! That is even though I have lived in South Africa since 1974!

The greatest song ever written and sung. Scotland, my country!

[@servisquartz6676]

I love The Corries and Scotcha are brilliant at this wonderful song too. I had forgotten about this wonderful masterpiece song until I went on an Edinburgh Tours The Regal Tour and I listened to it and I remembered how amazing this song actually is that I cried when it was played through the earphones.

Ok My first time hearing this I'm from Argentina And... Now I think I'll never stop hearing this song AMAZING

[@georgecox1468]

What a great, if not the greatest rendition of Wild Mountain Thyme. You can almost smell the Highland air as you listen

[@benjamindrury5005]

Almost perfect rendition.. The Corries are the highest standard of live performers I’ve ever heard

Still here in 2024. Never tire of this lovely song. I am doing ok David. Hope all is well with you.

[@JustWeeMe1]

I am! Listening to songs that remind me of my late parents. This is one of the songs my dad used to sing .... he was a great singer x

The John the fisherman co-op commercial took me here. It is a beautiful piece, it is warm, and respectful to the memory of a loved one. It brings a tear to my eyes.
