Johnbarrowman you have got the cutest face ever and you are the world's best Scottish actor who I would love to follow him on your website because he has got the most amazing experience of singing Scottish songs and every thing that he does but the only thing that I would like to do is to tell him how proud I am and that he has done amazing work with his singing and acting ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💗 💙 💕 ❤️ ♥️ 💖
And he's singing for the most part acapella during this song. My mother the music teacher always told me that those who can sing this way are the truly gifted artists.
Barrowman's version sounds great, but my favorite version will forever be John McDermott's. He starts with a slight a cappella too, and then the music starts... I also love the fact he uses part of the original, Scottish-accented lyrics. Graeme E. Pearson is great too... native from Edinburgh, and sings this with nothing but a solo guitar.
John Barrowman is also a crook. Under the name Anderson Page, he has a sophisticated way of luring big money from women on social media. Creativity does not provide him with a comfortable life!
@@верагуревич-ф2з You do know that there are crooks posing as celibrities and making fake Instagram and Twitter accounts? You should report them if you see them. How can you believe this is the real John Barrowman is beyond me. It happens to everyone. I once got followed by a fake Hugh Jackman.
It's so rare to hear a version of this song which acknowledges the tragedy of the lyrics (Takin' the low road is returning to your clan home after death). Despite the anglicised words, this is just gorgeous.
@morag mckay I never knew about the tragic message of the song - i.e., what takin' the low road really meant. Thank you for telling us that; much respect to a poignant song sung so well by John Barrowman.
@@TakersMissy He doesn't sing the saddest line of the song. I paraphrase:"The broken hearted know that there is no second spring." The soldier is dead and love is over for the living. The death of the soldier and the death of love, and neither can be assuaged by the beauty of Scotland.
I love his voice...beautiful. He suits 'voice' focus songs more than 'pop' tunes. Just lovely. As for the sparkle kilt - wow, wonderful bling there John!
OMG this is so beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful video. John in his whole outfit with its sparkle kilt simply stunning looks. And his song as he sings it, it is so touching. It doesn't get any better.
Wow, this is amazing! John told me to check it out when I met him at Boston Comic Con yesterday. He told me to go to his panel because he would be singing & to look up this particular song online. He has an amazing voice!
Linda Richardson Linda me as well my dad loved this song I no how you feel about your Da cos ehh feel the same about mine and John Barrowman sings it beautiful god bless you Linda and all the best for you and yours xoxo
I love his natural sparkle...add a sparkle covered kilt, and oh WOW. This man literally could not be any more perfect...love love LOVE John Barrowman. Such a beautiful voice, such a beautiful soul.
Scottish Always Dixie I think it’s more like one soldier sentenced to hang is singing to his friend. You take the high road (in body) and I’ll take the low (in spirit)
Best things about Scotland: * Irn-Bru * Fish & Chips * Deep Fried Pizzas * Scottish Highlands * Celtic FC * Karen Gillan * John Barrowman God, I love this song !!! I met John Barrowman at Govan in 2014 & I just want to say that he is genuinely the most down to earth loving human being !!! ♥️ He put his arm round me after I said it was an honour to meet Captain Jack Harkness in person. I don't care if he likes men. That's his life & that's who he is. I love the guy !!! ♥️ I hope to meet him again one day & get another picture with him 💯
Love a little kilt! Beautiful voice, beautiful man. I find I am obsessed with all things John Barrowman. I just really discovered the world of Torchwood, Capt. Jack Harkness and that John Barrowman is an excellent performer. Thank you so much for this video. I having a blast finding all these treasures.

@@sarahkostkova6613 Almost correct Sarah, it was written about 2 Scottish soldiers held captive
@@sarahkostkova6613 Correct in that the who lives takes the high road hame and the other takes the low spirit road

Al Abbasi Go ahead and add Ewan McGregor to this list of things as well.

I'd love to but 5 is my limit of things I like/love about countries. Sorry 😅
Al Abbasi *pauses and counts 7 things on the list* Something doesn’t add up here

You forgot the most touching third verse
His accent is beautiful.
Which accent?
John has a Scottish accent. Until I saw this video, I had not heard it before.
Did you ever hear a real scotsman speak?
John Barrowman.
+LoganJackson
Maybe he could speak with accent but definitely not in this Video. Listen to this Song in the Version of "The Corries"
One of my favorites by him.
yon bonnie
Thank you for sharing! I was on his concert in Edinburgh
Love John!! 💕💕
Dad.. 😌💕😇✨💫

Stewart plaid with glitter! Damn!
