The High Kings - Caledonia

[@skyking8420]

Paul is such a grand addition to the Kings, such a lovely voice

[@ceoa]

There are so many beautiful places, beautiful songs, beautiful people all over this world. We should all visit them and see the best of them and Love for others will certainly bubble up in you. ♥️ I Love people. This song is Beautiful. 🌜✨

[@yvettejones5323]

I first heard Lisa from Celtic Woman sing this and loved it but this is so beautiful I almost cried. The harmony in the chorus is so different but so, so beautiful 💚 I just love your guys' musicality 💚

[@audreyanderson5120]

Great version lads. Dougie Maclean will be proud your loving Scotland like him 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I caught the High Kings in Cincinnati the winter before Martin Furey departed the band, and I have to confess that I tuned out once he left because - while I love them all - he was my favorite. Hearing this take on Caledonia by their newest member Paul has brought me back. I wish I hadn’t stopped paying attention. While I’d still love to hear Martin’s take on this song, Paul’s vocal on this is magical, and I can’t stop listening to it. I’m going to have to go back and see what they’ve been up to in my absence.

[@ShaneIrwin7]

What a voice! Such beautiful and inspiring music. Thank you

I don't know if you can see the changes that have been over me These past few days I've been afraid that I might drift away been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I come from that's the reasons why I seem so far away today let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had I have moved and kept on moving, provеd the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing, found others on the way I have kissed the girls and left them crying, stolen dreams, yes there's no denying I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had I am sitting here before the fire, an empty room, a forest choir The flames that couldn't get any higher, they've withered, now they've gone But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow, I will disappear Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

[@Caz57]

So happy we now have a recording of this. Beautiful Paul.

[@EllaAsher6]

Yes it is beautiful and pail is really good

[@AidyGags]

Been dying to hear this for so long. It’s so unbelievably brilliant. Paul is a fantastic singer

[@moirabaker458]

Yep….The guy who wrote it, Dougie McLean does a fantastic rendition. He gives it true feeling

[@danielleelias685]

Celtic Woman sings this song the very best ever. But these guys are good too.

[@triumphofihm525]

So beautiful

[@faridamohamedabdelmeguidmo3023]

You are magic. Going to one of your shows is my top name on the bucket list

[@ellybean7354]

I was recently in a play about a romance set in Scotland. I actually was able to travel to Scotland to perform it at the Edinburgh fringe festival. I didn't find this song till after the show, but it sums up the feelings so well.

[@bethcollins2413]

Just lovely! It's been a long, tough year here in New England, but we can't wait to see you all soon. God Bless you all!

[@timiwalk7047]

Another of my all time favorites but THIS is by far the best version I have ever heard!! Brought tears to my eyes 🥲So beautiful Paul! Thank you lads!! ❤❤

[@EllaAsher6]

Y'all makes y'all's music so good

[@jenny3sheets278]

I absolutely love your version of Caledonia! It's definitely still the traditional song but the small musical choices you made make it really special! I hope this one has a permanent spot on your set list.

[@carriebowlen3785]

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! I LOVE THE HIGH KINGS VERY MUCH!! I LOVE BEING IRISH!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS!

[@buckeyeshuman3945]

Wonderful, Paul! You are a splendid addition to the High Kings, and I certainly hope you are with them for a long, long time!

[@nucha2fb]

The first time I heard this song is when I seen them live recently and it was so enchanting inside a theater hall it's become one of my favorites of theirs.

[@yaroslav7146]

Beautiful, Thank You guys. You give me this priceless moment of pleasure with your songs!

[@daniperezlopez306]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I've had goosebumps during the entire song. Thanks for sharing this ❤️

[@Alasdair37448]

These guys really knocked it put of the park. Well done high kings absolutely beautiful!

[@eightiesgirl100]

I've been hoping for a long time that The High Kings would record this. It's one of my favorite folk songs- maybe because I have a bit of Scottish blood in me?! Anyway, this is a lovely version. Nice job, guys! And Paul is a wonderful addition to the group. Can't wait to see them Sept. 10 in St. Paul!!

[@shannonharrel1388]

At the beginning when he is going it alone, you can tell Brian is proud of his pal for knocking this out of the park.

[@NYLADY13601]

Very lovely! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@rebeccaorourke3990]

I hope my husband doesn't read these comments because I'm about to ask Paul to marry me. I first heard Paul sing Caledonia about a year ago in Tarrytown NY and was absolutely smitten. With the song. And maybe with Paul.

[@LauraHallsMusic]

I was riveted on Paul the entire song and concert when I saw them a few months ago! Can we share haha

[@nucha2fb]

I just seen them live last night and absolutely feel in love with this song, I'd never heard him doing a solo. Now I will have to find all the songs he's singing. They all have great voices but his fits this song perfectly, absolutely breathtaking and reminds me of my hometown and my homesickness i have had to deal with.

[@BrockTemple87]

​@@nucha2fbblad guys have special reputations

[@johnorourke3642]

Your husband read the comments! But, since we’ve been together 38 years- I already knew 😀 I’m bald now-if I could only sing…oh well, I’ll just keep taking you to The High Kings shows as frequently as possible

[@IluvAnita113]

Saw them in Eau Claire Wisconsin and they are amazing live.

[@annieosullivan1043]

I love this rendition, beautiful harmonies and instruments. ❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕 stunning 😍

[@beckyorourke2437]

Is there any song, of all time, that ends more perfectly? That last “had”... gets me right in the feels.

[@pauljohnsrud6870]

Been waiting for this to be recorded alone. I've been watching it on the live forever!

[@gconthemic2502]

Lovely singin Paul Great stuff man

[@trainstracks2221]

Great song

[@jwhite6452]

I can't like this song enough, I would add 1000 likes to this one.

[@concourspm]

Nice very nice, I hope one day , I 'll see you four in concert, I discovered yours songs in Dublin. You are a piece of Irish culture !!!!!!!!

[@andrewgreenwoodstockton8423]

What a voice! Well sung.

[@wowbagger3505]

Whenever I see or hear of one of the old traditional pubs of Dublin founded in the mid 1800s I don’t think of the time I went there. Instead I wonder if my great grandfather, born in Dublin and educated at Trinity ever had a pint there. This guy had a legend worthy life including sailing around the Horn to India and fighting in the Union Navy at Mobile Bay, finally becoming a Texan, but it all started in Dublin!

[@bonniemartin4093]

Love it Paul

[@NOlsen8]

This is incredible- so beautiful

[@kclovesgolf]

So glad to hear this again! I first hear it in Kansas City MO last year and is one of my favorites!! Thank you for getting this on video/audio!!

[@DragonicSociety]

This is beautiful. I am hoping I can get tickets to see you in St. Paul MN. My 5 year old daughter, 3 year old son, and I all love your music and when I asked my daughter if she would like to see you she excitedly said yes while listening & singing along to this song.

[@user-gv7fs9qx8p]

That’s up there with John McDermotts rendition 10/10 folks. I love Galway to Graceland hairs standing in back of neck first time heard it. Hello to all the band.

[@lhpeterparker]

Change the playback speed to 0.85x and it is much better.

[@coolchick1977]

Wonderful job!

Spot on boys. Celtic Women's cover does indeed slap a bit more, though.

Did y'all really put the chorus into 6/8? Genius!

That guy the devil beside him he sings with a young black boy now. Classical music opera.

Shite!! Take it out of six gear ffs!! Are you in a rush ?

[@lhpeterparker]

Don't take me wrong, I love the High Kings but this cover just doesn't sound right. I think it is a little too fast. And no it has nothing to do with Irish singing a Scottish song because the Dolores Keane cover is great.

[@alanmorrison7076]

Disappointing version, sung without feeling and a tad too fast.

[@bigteddy66]

Not great
