Ye Jacobites by Name

A Robert Burns song, a plea for the Scots to end the Jabobite war because of the heartache and hatered that such a prolonged war brings. Arranged by Moonrakers and on their album "Silken Thread". For more about Moonrakers, visit www.moonrakers.net

This version of the song is a true gem. The haunting melancholy tone calling for the end of the series of conflicts is so fitting.

[@Lieblingsfachful]

I like the melancholy and sadness that you gave this song. Really feels like it fits the lyrics better than many upbeat versions. Well done!

[@markpatterson2507]

No reason for upbeat versions of this song,anyway

A song of the past marking the passing of the jacobites failed attempt to overcome the government forces in an attempt to restore the young Stuart prince to the throne. The highlanders were punished for many years after, they couldn’t bare arms, wear their colours(tartan) and many were pushed off their land.

This song is the equivalent of telling the Ukrainians to stop fighting and laying down belly up. Fight for your freedom or be erased.

[@gogmorgoaway]

Is it though? The Jacobites were supporters of a deposed regime that did not share the values of the majority of the population, who in trying to reestablish said regime were essentially just killing people to accomplish something that no one wanted and that didn't have a hope of success with many attempts over the course of 60 years. The song is asking them to stop starting pointless wars. Not quite the same as telling someone not to fight back.

NIce version, but lacking heart. Have you heard the one by Marshall from the folk band Skerne?

[@TomSmith-jp1es]

Haha no

[@orson_carte]

@@TomSmith-jp1es here's the utube link to Skerne: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2iqdJaarqyimLc Marshall sings 'ye jacobites' as second track. The band is now knacked

Das ist rein weltliche Musik. Was hat so etwas in einer Kirche zu suchen?
