Loch Lomond | The Hound + The Fox

[@TheHoundTheFox]

We finally take a crack at this bonnie Celtic classic, just in time for St. Patrick's Day 🍀We know it's Scottish in origin, but we feel like it still captures that essence we're all after these days regardless of borders 💚 How will you be spending your St. Paddy's '21?

[@ajparadise6649]

I am going to wear a green shirt and have school. I think we might have corned beef and cabbage on Sunday, and maybe I will make Irish soda bread if I have time.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Happy St.Patrick’s day! 🍀🌈💚 so beautiful magical I feel like I am in and world in more happier better place xoxo 😘

This was beautiful! If ever you want a Piper for these Scottish tunes let me know🙌🏻💕🍀

[@dragonmother7167]

He’s convincing is he Irish or something?

[@ScarlettKitsune]

As a Scot, this gives me the twitch since Americans often confuse Scottish and Irish folk. 😱 But as it was a beautiful arrangement, it's fine. 😜

[@PeterHollens]

yes. Yes. YEEESSSSSSSSSS ALL THE YESSSSS I NEED A FULL FOLK SONG ALBUM NOOOOWWW YOU 2!!!!!

[@TheHoundTheFox]

Whoa what an idea that would be!!! 😉☘️

[@jenaliciahavens9729]

I so agree!!!

[@7white7wolf7]

[@SimNomvre]

I second this, it would definitely be breathtaking :D

[@emeralddraegon]

It would easily become one of my favorite albums 😍

[@nathanm5653]

This is actually quite a sad song, but all the more beautiful for it. The perspective is that of a Scottish soldier, captured with his brother at the Battle of Culloden, a disastrous defeat for the Scots. Their English captors gave them the choice of which would be executed and which would be allowed to return home. Thus, the "you take the high road and I'll take the low road, an' I'll be in Scotland afore ye" is from the perspective of the one who chose to die instead of his brother, as he states that his heart and soul will be there immediately when he is killed, to dwell there in peace forevermore. At the end of the chorus, he laments that "me and my true love will never meet again on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond," meaning that although his soul goes to the lands of his youth, he will never again see the woman he loved. Note: Thank you Tanner Hurst for pointing out a couple details I missed.

[@Alornai]

The song has been altered so many times between its creation and its first recording, so the "true meaning" is still very speculative. :) The soldier story is a pretty common theory though! Maybe one day we'll uncover some more evidence as to how the original song came to be and if/how it got altered by time & by oral sharing/misremembering. :)

[@FizzyFazandMoondrops]

That is absolutely beautiful 🥺❤ Thank you for sharing!

[@abbygibbs8730]

Thank you for explaining that. I actually think that touches my soul in a deeper way.

[@tannerhurst7981]

The way I was told the story it was two captured brothers, not two random soldiers, and they were given the choice of who would live and who would die. Rather than draw straws or something, one brother volunteered to die for his brother.

[@fhtwbdd]

Probably inaccurate to say 'British' - rather say 'English'.

[@danielmorgan8652]

Greetings from Stirling, just doun tha road from Loch Lomond! It's a Jacobite Song and the true love is Bonnie Prince Charlie! The low road is the road after death!

[@branwen8009]

Absolutely enchanting version that has me in tears traversing sweet childhood memories through a 50yr time machine. I can hear my Seanair, long since returned to his beloved homeland, with his gravely, deep Scottish voice and Nain's clear, high voice singing to 1 another as if it was yesterday. It will forever be sung in our homes. My children are now singing it to their bairns. Thank you for taking me back to beautiful memories that are truly never far from me. 💓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪🇺🇸 (Edited to change out the English words for granddad and grandma to the Scottish and Welsh words that I knew my dear grandparents as.

One of the single best moments of my entire life was seeing my high school’s mixed choir perform this piece. They hit every note so perfectly that it brought tears to my eyes(my school is pretty prestigious when it comes to choir, so it was just… yes). You captured that emotion with it that I didn’t think only two people could.

[@presbyteriangirl9739]

Very beautiful. Nice Scottish song

[@parks1888]

Okay I have a very niche memory of this song. A camp in the mountains, where we stayed for 3 weeks, and went on hikes every week, and we did crafts and games and went swimming in a river, and there were cows and goats and two cats, and every night, the counselors would sing us to sleep, and the best feeling I’ve ever felt is waking up on a misty mountaintop at this camp, and this song is one of the songs that stuck with me from that camp, and I know that I’ll never experience anything quite like this camp ever again. I haven’t heard this song since then, and so this is quite a special song to me

[@timothyrayle9391]

I had no idea that the saying, "You take the high road, and I'll take the low road..." was from a song. 🤯

[@TheHoundTheFox]

How fun, right?! Thanks for watching Kelli ❤️🍀

[@wimfranken826]

Or does the song use a saying?

[@plain_simple_garak]

I believe the low road refers to death, the folk belief being that a Scot who dies abroad will quickly return home in spirit form via the underworld, while his companion in the song will take the high road of the living

[@caroldonaldson4565]

@@wimfranken826 Given it was written in 1876 by Andrew Lang, it's safe to assume it's original to him.
