Far Side of the World - Acoustic

We started Tide Lines 4 years ago today.
It’s been a hugely enjoyable 4 years seeing all sorts of amazing places and meeting all sorts of wonderful people.
Had everything been normal, we would have been celebrating tonight in Glasgow with 2,500 of our fans at the Kelvingrove Bandstand.
Instead, have this wee reflective version of Far Side of the World that Robert did today.
The last 4 years have been a blast. Thank you and we’ll see you soon!

I first heard this song while driving around the Isle of Skye with my wife. We have been married almost 38 years and are spending 2 weeks on Skye for our vacation. We are staying in the Laundry cottage on the grounds of Dunvegan castle. As the July sun was setting and shone its reddish-orange light on Dunvegan Castle, the beauty of this island, your music, the love I feel for my wife, and all of our years together all hit me at once. The tears are flowing now as these lyrics in this place at this time overwhelm me... PLEASE release this acoustic version...

Danced to far side of the world at my wedding me and my wife were in a long distance relationship between Scotland and Canada so this song means a lot to us Happy Birthday!

A fabulous acoustic performance. Robert has such a great voice and I love the pronunciation.

And my beloved companion lives in Glasgow, while I'm in the US. Been doing this for 20 years, and four years ago, first heard Tidelines on BBC Alba. ( I won't go into a rant on why the government(s) refuse to let us make this easier … just sayin'.) No matter, thank you for the memories; this is absolutely beautiful.

Shivers, smiling out loud, don't know whether to cry or.... You are a great band and have brought great joy to us all. Sad that we couldn't see you in Ayr on the 18th 😔, looking forward to seeing you in October at rescheduled gig if we're allowed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIDELINES, early Summer Solstice Greetings to you, all you love and followers Worldwide. Blessed Be Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🗺️ 🍀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

And happy SEVENTH anniversary and 10 million streamings! I live on the far side of the Atlantic from you, but some day I'll make it back to Scotland, and I'm planning my future-someday-trip around whatever tickets I can get to one of your concerts! Well done, lads--keep the songs coming!

[@Diana-tp1mu]

Best Scotish Voice.Love this Band

[@ale.r26]

I dicovered the Tide Lines during a solo bike-trip I did through the northern Scotland and Skye. Usually always camping, that evening I was in a small town and ordered a tomato soup with bread and butter after 6h raining on bike. This song was on and ask bartender info about the group. Wow, really many memories comes up everytime I heard it. I realy love them since then. Great job and best for future years!

[@eoiwynnekelp]

lovely with just the guitar. now it might not be the same chapel, but look where 7yrs takes you. especially that ending shot... :)

[@thebroadwaybabe4428]

Love you guys!! Congrats on 4 years... so glad I saw you in Edinburgh back in January. Beautiful rendition of an amazing song!

[@dominiquejoffroy142]

Magnifique voix et belles chansons

[@JagerScot-01]

Great song Robert. Have used it in a few of my vids(if you don't mind). May there be many more. Cheers

[@mojann1]

Oh no, made me cry

[@amybethbrown712]

Saw you guys in Croppredy Fairport Festival 2019. You all stopped me in my tracks back to my seat. I had to run down to the stage to see you guys as soon as I heard you. Your music reminds of living in White Hills Aberdeen. Your album is the most listen too on my mp3 player and second Frank Turner. Thank you it's kept me going and to believe that there will be good days ahead.

[@charliemetsaar]

Truly an awesome voice!😍

[@destiniyIhope]

I hope you can go on tour (and to the hairdresser) again soon. Just kidding :D Happy Anniversary to the best band in the world!! Lots of love from Germany 💙💙💙

[@sherlyncoleman875]

Aww. First day of school in no time at all 😏

[@fionahyfy3005]

Happy Birthday. Hopefully see you at a gig later in the year.

[@johnjennings9693]

Beautiful lovely acoustic version good luck from eire

[@fcstrength7058]

Wooooo

[@danielmclellan1299]

Would love to see you sing walking on the waves on here

[@Elijah-cy9do]

This is the way the song should be performed! Much better than the original I reckon!

[@petranextdoor307]

My best friend recently sent me a little TikTok of you singing this song and told me how much it reminded her of our trip to Scotland back in 2017. OMG, I bet she had no idea I would end up loving this song so much. Did you ever go on tour in Europe, or Austria, to be more precise? Or do you plan to do so once this nasty virus will be gone for good? I'd really love to hear and see you live one day! 🤩
