Phil and Ally,your slow airs music is amazing, so peaceful..thanks. Don't stop! Wish l could hear you live in concert,but an in the deep south...Kent😊

[@joline2730]

Sue: Yes, I love these slow airs far better than a jig or reel. Probably harder to play as well ... 🎼🎵🎶 💯

[@susanbutts9547]

This was played at my mother's funeral. It still makes me weep 16 years later!

[@peterwelch2346]

Heard this for the first time last week on radio national and had to stop the car to listen to it - just so beautiful and moving. There is a lot of the souls of Aly and Phil in this one.

[@jimduffy1967]

Once more Phil and Ally do it , brilliant lads,👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@AnnReid-s7o]

November 2023. Listen to this often just so beautiful,

[@borninjordan7448]

It's rare that music ever gives me goosebumps, but this did.

[@tonymoran5689]

Hauntingly beautiful. Takes me back to my youth when cares did not exist we would all live for ever.

[@neilmaclean294]

Jesus Tony, you’ve just made me greet. Thank you. 🙃

[@PhilipCowan]

Never felt homesick before listening to this…

[@Hjaltland2]

Stunning tune and performance.. gets me every time !

[@kathleenkeane4364]

Thirteen years,thirteen minutes ,so beautiful.good music does not age.❤

[@mikestubbs1708]

Wow!! Top drawer stuff here! Simply love it to bits!! Well done both of yous! In fact, I believe that this was the very version that I heard this morning on the ABC radio!? How about that then?!! Super to wake up to!

[@hemalo1976]

So beautifully played from the first till the last note.

[@pauldancey6323]

Heard this on radio three this morning and felt compelled to find it on utube so I could listen again. It's such a beautiful haunting melody

[@johnmacleod4481]

Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain are to Scottish music what Tom and Jack Alexander and Andy Stewart were to the original White Heather Club,not only that but true embassadors to their heritage culture and music career.

[@davidmayo9869]

never thought I would like this type of music. Can not get enough , must be maturing in my old age.

[@kevinkurtz9889]

Just your age but never old.

[@Jimmuck315]

God gave us this music, so beautiful played by two Masters of their instruments, thank you for sharing this lovely gift.

[@kengreenfield-nman]

I understand your sentiment, but there is no god, just the perfection of human, heart rendingly-beautiful genius!

[@Ancient-Paths]

@@kengreenfield-nman O yes there is ... I know Him personally - and He saved my life. What makes you think He doesn't exist? And it is God that has given these two lovely men such talent. Heaven will be full of such beautiful music - but hell will be dark with no joy, music or laughter. But we have a choice as to where we will end up my friend.

[@jordanesewals]

I was at a concert at the west-coast of Scotland long time ago. Aly and Phil where playing. The best concert of I been to. Thank you A&P

[@paulwatson8304]

Magnificent mellow music that oozes from the violin and seeps into one's soul. Beauty beyond words!

[@CharlieAtreides]

Most mornings I listen to this song in the shower, ideal way to start the day

[@MichaelDiehlBreen]

Good one Aly. Heard this this morning with the sunrise in the Southern HIghlands of New South Wales. Lovely lovely. Met you in 1973 in Boston with George Madaus. Cheers.

[@frankjones9024]

The best duo for this type of lament. Really lovely, and good bass work on the box. My big regret is that Ian Powrie never had a go at this emotional air. Thanks Frank in Bristol.

[@tdbsnr]

I had to mull this over for a while before replying. If you look/listen to Aly Bain & Phil C, you will soon find that their music is filled with a deep love of the musical traditions that they have grown up in, and have contributed to in their lifetime. Gaelic music is so rich & varied, with a huge revival currently underway all over the world. Enjoy!

[@maryrossiter2192]

How could anyone dislike this? It's so beautiful.

[@awnok]

No heart, no taste perhaps? :-(

[@leeblake3989]

I met Aly Bain at the Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1976. They, The Boys of the Loch, were playing as well as my father, Norman Blake. He is one of the greatest fiddle players of all time. And the amount of whisky he could put away and stay vertical is epic.

[@74QZ]

Thank you all for your words, I'm glad you like it. The merit is not mine but Phil and Alan. It is said that Phil wrote this melody in a hotel in San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain) when he awakened at 4 am.

[@kittyferguson3680]

Phil writes beautifully at such odd times (re: Sarah's Song)

[@annetaylor9493]

These great men are back on the road. Playing at Stromness Orkney on the 21st Sept 2022...get yersel's there.

[@margarethourston7496]

Beautiful and so relaxing ❤

[@allenbarnett4265]

Absolutely beautiful, the feeling, the playing and the pictures blend so wonderfully well. Thanks so much for all your music over the years. Well done !!!

[@fionacam]

I love this tune. So beautifully played. I am listening to it over and over again.

[@Hjaltland2]

You will not hear anyone playing this better, beautiful

[@danh441]

Most everything by Aly Bain will be good tunes. "My Love is Like a Red Rose", comes to mind.

[@ianboulton4106]

Love playing this beautiful tune

[@petermacmillan8707]

Beautiful and haunting tune played by two meastroes in there respectives fields .

[@irishfield1]

[@ianwalker927]

What a lovely haunting piece of music congrats to Phil for his composition and to Ali and phil for the playing

[@whaticantbelieveit]

Amazing! Duncan Chisholm does a beautiful version of this on his album 'Canaich' - worth a listen!

[@deltafour1212]

Beautiful tune, beautifully played.

[@findmejak1]

Chiudo gli occhi e sono trasportati, musica fantastica, ben suonato

[@poons54]

This is so haunting and beautiful ;-)

[@plastoso]

Diálogos 3, con Ramón trecet. La de años que oí esta anécdota. Viva la red.

[@Folegandros-c2d]

Ja ja, como disfrutábamos con las canciones que Trecet repetía una y otra vez. Al final nos gustaban porque no había otro remedio. T

[@alfredoramos56]

"Amad la belleza...

[@olelukje3928]

“ desde aqui y hacia la eternidad”

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

I'd like to thank a Facebook friend, Ruth E. Tufi, for having sent me this gentle, soothing music as a way of helping me find peace of mind. @74QZ, thanks for having posted Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham's beautiful music on KZbin

[@zephyrquartz]

Lovely lullaby.

[@74QZ]

Yes, you're right

[@seeifficare]

why is so much scottish music so sad? but very heartfelt and so beautiful.

[@bethadams322]

Phill is my cousins uncle he teaches my cousin things and me and her were supposed to be singing with the choir on Hogmanay live

[@walterkonig8792]

Ich bin gerade wieder aufgewacht! Wie weit geht der Mist noch !!!???

[@АрутАрутюнян-з8м]

Softy pop music

[@Isobel682]

I just keep playing along all the time to this.as I love it . I am trying to put the emotion into it thats the difficult thing -its not so much the tune as just getting that special something.

[@George5646]

Totally agree. I play my concertina along with masters like these and it can be so rewarding to feel their emotion in your own playing - which is difficult to create and experience with solo playing.

[@mactcampbell]

I don't consider it sad. I like to think of it as intimate and emotional.

[@TheDiarmaidable]

oaye tis pure magis.... areckin, but it reminds mea sum other tune .... acanny place it..

[@Strathpeffer]

Don't believe this one is sad, just very moving.

[@davidwilliams8338]

Where can I get the music score for this beautiful piece of music. Dave

[@chrisspecht7830]

david williams did you have any luck getting the score?

[@dawnhealey6526]

[@cheryltrozelle4855]

Where is Phil?

[@Hjaltland2]

If you ever get the chords sorted out .. post them, up !

[@TheDiarmaidable]

[@АрутАрутюнян-з8м]

It's not real tough pibroch
