- I DID NOT made this video I found this on web, and I thought that more people should see this amazing video. I believed it was an video by Colin Usher who made some Proclaimers' music videos, but I have been contacted and informed that the video was shot as part "Lyrical Journey", a serie by BBC Radio 4. The quality is excellent. Recorded in the beautiful Edinburgh.
This is probably one of the best songs ever written. Absolutely beautiful.
The tears in my eyes are lit with joy the short photography inspired memories of places and people and balanced times skint as we were and of course skint as we are now, yet to be elevated to a time coupled with immense singer/songwriters as these two brothers..stay as one there is so much potential ..the surface of modern history has been raised. My love Ken
No gimmicks, no electonics, no studio, no auto-tune, just pure un-altered talent
stop comparing. It's idiotic.
@@lewisc215 but not as idiotic as your reply
Sadly so rare.
@@grantmcinnes1176 Unfortunately very true. Far too much manufactured rubbish these days that all sounds samey.
My hesrt was 💔 ...u saw u claimed it, u saved it, u touched it u saved it...thank u jesus. 🙏
Haven't really been into The Proclaimers, apart from 500 miles,,, but man, this is magic,, I've been away from Scotland for over 50years,, but hey, you can take the boy out of Scotland,, but you can't take Scotland out of the boy,,, absolutely wonderful song that brought back so many nostalgic memories 👍🏴
This song rips me to pieces,
Tugs at the old heart strings.
God knows why,
Absouloutly fantastic performance by the lads😊😊😊
Because it's pure. Does the same to me as well. Old geezer now, proper into my 60s and this is the first song to make me greet floods.

Ditto
Am greeting now love it hibies for ever
I thought us Welsh liked our tunes, but these guys truly are a national treasure - filled with talent and brimming with Scottish pride.
Might just be a Celt thing, or even just an Isles thing. Nobody sings folk like people from the Isles
Thanks we Scottish are too emotional ,but its nice to be.
sfa OK ! from a leither
My mother was born in Leith Walk many years ago and was always very proud of the place she came from .
Stunning song . Love the lads exceptional talents
I'm English, but absolutely luv The Proclaimers, and this song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written
Leith is a great place, and these songs are from the heart and soul. ❤
Sorry for the language but it's fuckin insane how talented these guys are, the most underrated musicians ever
A couple of comments say: I am English but..., I am a Hearts’s fan but..., well: I can see no contradiction in being this or that and enjoying Proclaimers’ music. Therefore I say: I am Italian AND I love them!
A hearts fan! There is a cure for that sort of thing. It’s found in Leith. 😅
Get this tune for our national anthem..when our Independence comes..
We are independent, we left the EEC
Still the best football song ever.
Saw them, back in the day, in Kilburn. OMG, voices of angels.
Heard this on radio four this morning where people told of its meaning to them. My goodness how the tears welled. It’s a beautiful beautiful song, and these lads have a new fan. Utube here I come,
Aye it was a good programme wasnt it. The song means so much to so many.
@@barneystrachan yes lad it means a lot to me now.
Heard it too. Great programme Great song.
@@markburrow5916 I have played the football fans singing this over and over and it’s akin to the welsh rugby fans singing their anthem in Cardiff Arms Park many years ago. Spine tingling warmth from the heart, sharing a good feeling in these mixed up times.
Was it the half hour special talking to people how much this song meant to them?
From the first line, this moves me to tears - and I've no idea why. An incredible song - so, so beautifully rendered.
Talent is the word, few have it but when they do... brilliant.
One of the most beautifully heart rending songs ever written in my opinion.
I'm a Celtic fan...60 years ... of goals and misses and penalties and fish suppers on the way home from the game of leaping with joy...and sometimes of broken hearts!!...For me, the Hibs fans singing this at Hampden when they won won the Scottish cup in 2016 was one of the most moving in football...The man who said ..."ach it's only a football match " ...didn't have a heart...or experience Sunshine on his Leith..... Football is more than a game and this is more than a song.
Just Magic , pure Magic
I will always remember that cemetary in Leith, where you rarely see dates of death on the gravestones, but instead dates of "Lost at Sea". Leith is a very special place with a very special athmosphere. Everybody who visits Edinburgh should go there for a day and just walk around. Even if you see not so nice spots, you can feel some sort of energy, and a sense of pride, if you talk to people there.
Most underrated band of all time, best lyricists, best live band and all round brilliance. While I'm worth my room on this Earth I will LOVE THE PROCLAIMERS.
how true fae a wegie
NOBODY underrates The Proclaimers !!
What are you talkin about underrated, they have had amazing success
Omg I never tire of this song. It's just beautifully perfect in every way possible xx
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
How rotted must the souls be of the ones who gave this a thumbs down?
They must not have a soul!
They opened organic craft ale bars in Leith and don't understand the locals
Brilliant,,,lov❤ from Ireland....GO Scotland...?
As a Leither born and bred, I loved this…..thank you
A wee four minutes of simple joy... Thank you
As a sassenach who detests nationalism in all its forms, I simply love these guys. Such pure lovely music. Go on boys
Yet both snp
Members...
As the son of two Leithers that immigrated to Australia in 1969
This song brings tears and boils the blood!
So Proud of Leith and my roots!
How many so called singers of today could stand there and sound this feckin good.
I'm English and I have to say that
"While I am worth, my place on this earth, I will be with you" are words that I shall be putting on my girlfriends next bunch of flowers.
Astoundingly beautiful.
Aye saw them at Stirling Castle a couple of years ago Ted,in the pissing rain, bloody epic
ted lismore rather have a box of Quality Street.
@@ObePawnKenobi It reminds me of how God made me a brand new creation in ways I could never have imagined.
He was the only one who knew my heart was broken and had been for a long time. I cried out to Him in sorrow for how I was living my life and I felt a sense of His justice for a few moments before being enveloped in His Love and forgiveness.
And I felt a huge weight lift off me (later when I read the New Testament, I realized this was sin and hurt and trauma i.e my sin but also sins done to me).
Now I have 24/7 peace no matter the circumstances.
I don't know why this (how he heals and restores) isn't preached far and wide.
Jesus is the redeemer, the rescuer, the restorer, the saviour.
[That's what the name "Jesus" means in Hebrew].
This song appeals to people's longing and that longing is spiritual and can ONLY be satisfied by being reconciled to God through His son Jesus (Romans 5:1, John 14:6).
"Therefore if anyone is in Jesus Christ they are a new creation.
Behold old things have passed away and all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
"If anyone does not have the Holy Spirit of Christ in them, then they do not belong to God" (Romans 8:9, based on Jesus's words in John 14:16-17)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering [patience], gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance [self-control]" (Galatians 5:22-23)
One of the best You Tube clips for many a long year.......
Cheers,Lad great acoustic video loved it
Well done for grabbing this video. I have watched this so many times over the years, apologies to only comment now! You are absolutely right this video needs to be shared, its just magical. The Proclaimers really are raw Scottish talent and the business. They always deliver when acoustic.
What a beautiful day that was 21/05/2016
Winning the Scottish cup.
114 years curse, to finally lift the cup.
Stokes 3’ 80’- Gray 90+2
Brought tears to my eyes.
So beautiful so relevant thank you
I cry when i hear this.
It's not that bad
Leith is great, on both days each year, you can see the sun.
Love this, I remember early 80's staying in Edinburgh with flatmates and working as a temp secretary at Henry Robb shipbuilders in Leith. Sadly my job was typing out the redundancy letters to the ship builders and watching the final ship launch
Beautiful song sung by lovely men. God bless you
The most beautiful song on Earth!
Scotlands finest. I'm so glad you uploaded this. Thank you.
What gorgeous blend of voices
Takes me back to the three great years of living in Edinburgh. Hibs were the first club I ever supported my ny heart.
Lord, I love that city.
While i may be a hearts fan as far as im concerned they are from my home town and everytime i hear them it fills my heart with pride

This was indeed filmed during the recording/filming for BBC Radio 4's Lyrical Journey. It was filmed by Ranald Leask, who is a massive fan and originally did this for fun, and then it was edited and sent on to the Proclaimers and the BBC. It was very much fun to watch all this happen. : )
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

+Lucy Michie You cant miss it that much or you would go back.
Came here from Stuntpegs video 'We need to talk about Scottish football' where the Hibs fans gave a passionate rendition of this song.
Probably the best band Scotland ever produced.
Close second to the corries
