The very best liveact the world has ever seen! One of the biggest bands ever! True and faithful emotion, and they always kept true to where they came from. This is music which makes you both rock and dream away. I saw them several times here in Germany, and they always made a great job, rocking the roof down. I wished I understood those gaelic lyrics... To me one of the biggest bands ever!
Dude, you are so right. I liken it to something I heard Sinead O'Conner say about her performances. I wish I could recall it clearly now. Emotional honesty! That was it! That's what she said! I'm rather sad I missed both their formative years while I was listening to other stuff. However, later in life as I've found each of them and followed their separate careers, I'm proud of them both. I will follow them now as long God allows me. Peace brother.
I actually see it in my head Like a scene fom the 13th Warrior or King Arthur. Darkness. With that backlit stuff they do so it isnt dark at all! A wood.A warrior, probably in armour, but trad Highland or Viking would be better. He looms out of the wood, on horseback naturally, something dark from the nightime With dry ice of course. Oh in that case he needs a hooded cloak! where is he going ? To some chieftain. Why is he riding alone? He is obviously a noble. And why is he offering his sons in some deal? I have been told it has to do with a clan war, I hope it was an interesting one, because I prefer my version! It Is perfect for a film soundtrak or a book.Its also bloody good to work withThe visuals almost write themselves. You know when there are galloping horses, Battles, fair maidens...
From the north came a warrior Baring burdens dark and deep I've a will and I've a wanting And miles to go before I sleep I have horses in my stable I have sons fit to fight I will bring this to your table If you ride with me this night From the north came a warrior Baring burdens dark and deep I've a will and I've a wanting And miles to go before I sleep Blood red wine, a toast for heroes And harping till the morning light Come the dawn the road will lead us If you ride with me this night
Somerhairlidh Mor MacGilliBride, Ri Innse Gall? Avenging his father in laws murder, or meeting David the Maidens craven challenge to his righteous authority? (The pathetic wee coward hired an assasin to murder Somhairlidh, then comissioned a bard to write some fantasy about the people of Glasgow rising up against his fleet of 160 warships. A bit unlikely, given that Glasgow was a small village at the time... ;-) )
can anyone tell me what album this LIVE version of From the North comes from? i have the studio version but, as is so often the case with Runrig, the live version is even better. thanks
Can anyone tell me, what song is to be heard in the intro? "From The North" was my very first impression of Runrig in my ever first Runrig concert and it totally blew my mind! But this live version is so beautiful and hypnotic due to this intro, I can't stop listen to it. And I wonder, what is the name of this song?
I might be totally wrong but I think it is a poem by Sorley Mclean He worked with the band a few times, and they have featured his work in songs before. Not sure if he is still alive, he must be ancient if he is. He is/was Scotland's premier Gaelic poet
From the FROZEN NORTH ( upstate NY) , so this appeals.:) Though compared to ancestors (Scotch,Swiss, Onondaga , & immigrants,here), I have it pretty easy. :)

I miss Runrig every day
Runrig saved My Life. And very soon the World will See first hand what I mean by this post. Cheers aye. Graham Culton. A True Highland Warrior.
This is the song that introduced me to Runrig, and now I can't get enough!
.... ein phantastisches Stück, gehört zu meinen favorite songs
Oh gosh! This popped up in my pandora and my ears grabbed a hold of my body and said "hey! Pay attention! You'll wanna know who this is." Wow wow wow.
I keep coming back to this one, it so stirs my blood!!!
Been a Runrig fan for many years. First time I stopped to listen to this song. I love it. Sounds like it should be in a movie soundtrack.
TristanandIsolt , Should be on a new Braveheart Remake ? ...
Interesting Idea. They used a Loreena McKennitt song in Highlander.

On Maps the North is on top... for a lot of good reasons. Greets from rhe northiest North of Northern Germany
👍👍
omg i love how this song transitions from really calm to rock-ish love it so much!!!
Good stuff.
From the north came a warrior
Baring burdens dark and deep
I've a will and I've a wanting
And miles to go before I sleep
I have horses in my stable
I have sons fit to fight
I will bring this to your table
If you ride with me this night
From the north came a warrior
Baring burdens dark and deep
I've a will and I've a wanting
And miles to go before I sleep
Blood red wine, a toast for heroes
And harping till the morning light
Come the dawn the road will lead us
If you ride with me this night
Awesome!
THEY MAY TAKE OUR UA-cam DISLIKE BAR, BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!
Really like this song - makes wonder who the man coming From the North is.

beautyful, just fantastic
I listen to this song as I nerd out over Lord of the Rings...That is quite sad...but...
one of my favs...
surprised! It closely resembles the folk song of Ainu in Hokkaido.
Great!!
My mother was born in Rannoch, Bridge of Gawer to be exact.

@@hogwashmcturnip8930 right. it is not a song.
thanks for sharing
Have a look at my version of From the North
Is Rannoch the same as Loch Rannoch? Is there sheet music for pipes for this tune? If not I could spend time making it.
