I remember this song as being the sign post of Christmas 1977. One of my sisters , ( we are Kiwis), was on a long OE in England then. I was an 11 year old who had in the previous year fallen in love with the music of The Beatles . Via the radio and family records. Dad had a great singing voice , his parents were Scots and Mum loved this song.She was of Irish parentage and loved the music of both sides of the Irish sea. Still have the 45 Mum and Dad played at family gatherings. I have also have updated copy. Thank you Sir Paul McCartney and Wings for a timeless piece of music that I will carry with me always.
My Dad use to sing me this song to me before i fell asleep . Its nice to know there are people out there that like this song to I managed to find it after a few years . The last time i heard it was when my dad sung it to me . R.I.P dad....
My Mom sang this to me as well. I had A LOT of Dr's appointments and the Greatest Hits of Wings was a cassette we often put in. 💖 I played it her as she passed away. I love the whole album, but this is one of my faves.
I had the opportunity to visit Kintyre this summer. I camped out on some Scottish Trust land overnight, brought my pipes and played Mull of Kintyre at sunrise. The only audience I had were some deer who didn’t stick around for an encore. It is truly one of the most beautiful places I have seen on this earth. I spent the next day hiking the many trails available and meeting some of the finest people I have ever met. It is definitely worth visiting.
Where does Sir Paul get all that melodic inspiration from? How many times have we been to the Mull of Kintyre, and he spends his holidays there and writes a *folk song so ingrained in the land that it seems ages old.* Yet it's only 40 years. Paul McCartney has written the soundtrack of our lives, with or without bagpipes. Excruciatingly beautiful.
Paul and Linda had a farm there, lived there for years in an old farmhouse, raising sheep and kids. www.beatlesbible.com/1966/06/17/paul-mccartney-purchases-high-park-farm-kintyre-scotland/
@@Kya37 It's just an uncanny ability that some people have to be able to put themselves in a mindset, place or setting even if they have never experienced it themselves. Billy Joel for example was born in the Bronx in New York but wrote and recorded a Bluegrass song called Travelin' Prayer that Dolly Parton later recorded. He also did so with songs called Allentown about job losses in heavy industry during the 80s despite never experiencing that personally, as well as songs called Goodnight Saigon about the Vietnam War despite not being involved himself and The Downeaster Aleaxa that has a Folk music sound to it about the plight of fishermen.
Far have I travelled and much have I seen... Darkest of mountains with valleys of green... Vast painted deserts, the sunsets of fire... As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre...
Bingo Eldon. There is a place here on the coast of MA up in New England the wife and I call the private place. It's right on the ocean and is gorgeous. We often go there when things close in. I often think of this beautiful song as I sit there just staring out at the beauty. She loves it too.
@@Carln0130 I was born & grew up in New Bedford, many years ago. MA & RI are full of those little places the tourists don't visit! 😉 I still visit whenever I can.
Listening to Sir Paul's music is relaxing. It's like opening a window to let the spring breeze in after a brutal winter. God perfected his craft when he made Paul McCartney.
I have loved this song since I first heard it at school in about grade 3. Years have passed & Scotland has again crossed my path. First, my daughter's Scottish boyfriend came into our lives about 10 years ago, then 3 years ago I was blessed by having a Scottish Deerhound named Gillie enter our lives. Sadly, now age only 6, she has a bone cancer & soon will be crossing the rainbow bridge. Right now I am listening to this beautiful song with her, sharing my love for this song as well a link with her heritage. I am thinking of playing this on the day she takes her final walk among the glen. Long live the Scottish Deerhound & this beautiful song.
November 15th was, or should I say, would have been my mother's 91st birthday. She loved this song so much. I miss her everyday, but I cherish the fact that I can listen to this wonderful song and know that she is still here with me. If I ever had the chance to talk to Sir Paul Mccartney, I would thank him for being the person that he is, and for staying so loyal to his fans....he is a true entertainer....God bless you Paul...
ive fallen in love with this song (which my mother loved so much) since she passed away a little over a week ago. i love and miss her so much, she was only 48 and it was the most enormous funeral i've ever been to (well, i'm 13 so i've only been to a couple) but i still miss her so much
Tina, my brother played the Pipes to this tune. A very powerful song, atleast for you and me. I can't listen to many songs that have the Bagpipes in them. I miss my Brother, -- South Island Champion for BagPipes in New Zealand, he was brillant. I correct that, he IS the best. The same statement is true for you. She is not in the past, she is very much in the now. I played the Snare drum.
When I was a small child, this song was a big hit and it often played on the radio. I would sing along heartily "oh lips rolling in from the sea"......😂😂😂 Love from Cape Town, SA😍😍
Hi, I'm from Mexico, but I guess you feel very proud of your country with this song. Long live Scotland and all the countries who love their traditions.
Absolutely fabulous.! I told my husband that if I die before him I want this played at my funeral because I absolutely love the rendition of the song by Paul McCartney and nobody else. Thank you thank you thank you
I fell in love with this beautiful song when I heardcit first composed and sung by Sir Paul and his band Wings . Great Gentleman. Thank you Sir. Great singer.Beautiful Scot land .my daughter had her higher education there and she loves Scotland .thank you.
This makes me cry - a lot. Fifteen years ago I came back down to my roots in the south of England after leaving the love of my life, whom I had moved up to Scotland to make a life with. I was very, very homesick and it really affected me and I never settled. To this day, I stil love Sandra, and always will. We argued a lot as I tried to bottle up the pain I was feeling and we fell to pieces and I came home. It was the hardest decision of my life. Music is just the most amazing, most heartbreaking thing ever, and this is just incredible. I have always loved this.
This beautiful song and music takes me back many years ..When I joyfully watched my heritage go up Davis in Newmarket playing the pipes and drums ...My dad was a drummer in the band ..I miss it and him alot
Amazing!! Listening to this song I wish to travel to Scotland and feel that mist that Paul felt. Greetings from Mexico. Great music don't face frontiers!
Reminds me of Wrangell, Alaska. The mist rolling off from the straight, the shrimp fishing boats coming in back from fishing. My friend Larry and I living like kings and Queens because we had the freshest shrimp in the world to enjoy, and he would always say "We are living better than millionaires right now, because they can't taste shrimp right out of the water like this, it's only for us". It was then that I realized that living in that moment in that time was worth more than money, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Later I went to sleep aboard the Raven and the waves rocked us to sleep. It's a sweet memory of youth, and this song just makes me lonesome for it. I love this song.
Played this for my mother as she drew her last breaths. It reminded me so much of both my parents. Went to sleep listening to Dad play the pipes as a child and Mom went to sleep with the pipe music carrying her away for another beautiful trip.
That’s one of Paul’s very best songs by far! As an American of Scots-Irish descent it really tugs at my heart! Truly a wonderful beautiful song as only James Paul MCCartney can do!
Im studying my nursing degree, and last year right before covid started I was working in a rest home in the dementia ward as part of my placement. I looked after this incredible woman we will call D. She suffered from extremely bad bouts of 'sundown' which are basically just behaviour and low moods that dementia patients often experience spanning into the night. D was known for being extremely saddened and having feelings of confusion and guilt because she wasn't with her children. The most she remembered at this point was her family, but of when they were her children rather then married older adults. I came to learn through her notes that she was once a nurse so one day I asked her about it, right on sundown...this could have gone bad don't get me wrong. But miraculously she lit up with the most heartwarming smile. And of she went, telling me all these memories she suddenly had sitting within her glossy eyes as if they were yesterdays activities. Eventually she came to remember that she worked at a rest home herself called 'kintyre' and without warning but with the biggest soulful voice she begun to sing this song 'the mull of kintyre'. I grabbed my phone every night after that and played it for her, she would laugh, cry and smile through it. Often asking me to replay it. I now have this song and another called "Just a wee deoch an Doris" on my playlist to remind me of her. D would always hold my hand and stare into my eyes as she hummed it every time afterwards. The Mull of Kintyre is Bs song.
Dear Mr.PaulMcCartney more than three decades ago I heard and enjoy this splendid song. Now I 60 when I hear this song as well as seeing the beautiful scenaries of Mull of Kintyre it makes as if I were with you in Mull of Kintyre. May God bless all your endeavours in music.
This popped into my head one day and I couldn't find it anywhere until I asked my mother about the tune, I'm glad I've found it This has peaceful memory's attached to it and I don't want to let go of them yet.
The video is great; Sir Paul and Lady McCartney are on the strand with what looks like half of the population of Kintyre. Better yet, they are all gathered round a huge bonfire & then the Campbelltown Pipe Band comes marching up the shingle, playing. WOW!
my pa was from scotland this was his favourite song he was all smiles listening to this song he was buried to this song even though we wasnt told he passed away me and my daughter had to watch my pas funeral years later on a dvd such good family we have not R.I.P PA LOVE U AND MISS YOU XOXO
they played this song at my grandmas funeral yesterday.. still makes my heart fill up with love every time i hear it. it makes me know my grandma is in a better place. =)

I have never felt my "Scottishness" so strongly! It left me weeping without being aware of the tears. Sorry Paul, if I had known that you sang songs like this, I would have listened to you more.
Paul is the first and ONLY man who ever made me cry, i can't help crying everytime i listen to this song, just as the first time i heard it on the radio
We used to sing this in assembly. Over 35 years ago. We were taught this tune on our recorder for our music lessons. Time flew, oh I wish I could turn back to those innocent years …
BRILLIANT record, No 1 for weeks on end as the Xmas chart topper 1977. I'm sure it was No 1 untill February 1978. AWESOME song as I say. Cheers for posting this stunning classic chart topper.
I have been to the Mull of Kintyre, and it was absolutely fabulous. There was no one there. Just my husband and I. My husband and I have also been to Stonehenge many years ago. We are in our 70's now, but we visited Stonehenge 50 years ago when it just stood there. No gates, not boundaries. We have such wonderful pics from those years. Wish you could have seen Stonehenge becore they cordened it off and put up all the barbed wire.
I'm here having listened to a Freddie Mercury interview, Freddie spoke about this beautiful song being a huge hit all over the world but not in America. Queen's songs didn't fare so well in America either. It's wonderful and I'd never heard of it.
The earliest song I remember being played everywhere on the radio- where we lived in Surrey. Must have been 4 . PM had one of the finest creative imaginations of the last century , sung in tune with our souls' deepest wishes and desires.
@@joycemesaros7110Thank You for the lovely thought. I feel that I have enough time left on the face of the Earth to get back but for right now family commitments are keeping me in Florida. When I'm no longer obligated to looking after elderly family members I'm on the first smoking jet back to the U K.
I started singing this to myself this morning on my walk to work because of the mist coming off the field. Didn't know all the words so just had to play it again.
My husband wanted this played at his memorial and I think Paul did a fine job on this one. I can't imagine any other version. This will always stick in my mind. Just my thoughts xx
Denny Laine from the moody blues wrote this with Paul .... can hear his input....he was with Paul 10 years on wings ....I cannot hear the Beatles here sorry ...and I have been a fan forever I am the same age as Paul.....I can Hear Nights in white Satin
Thanks to you to post the Lyrics, Love it, love Paul's Mull of Kintyre, and (I'm French !) the lyrics help me to understand each word .... and I can sing with Paul ! ... So delightful, gives me "peps" for the whole day through ! Thanks !
This is a great song and I thank you for being able to hear, thank you very much. Esta canción la oigo frecuentemente, es muy buena y habla del folclore de escocia, Paul McCartney es genial.
I liked this song since the first time I heard it, I was 12, I had received a K7 recorder, this is the second song I recorded in my life (can not remember the first). I've been listening to the Beatles since the age of 4, on Sunday mornings I stole my parents' 45s and played them on the phono while jumping on the sofa, all members of the Beatles were alive at that time...
As a maori wahine from New Zealand with not a drop of Scottish blood, i feel the passion and the call of battlefield oh and the mana,(pride)! What an honourable race you represent here!! Mean Maori Mean
Tina, my brother played the Pipes to this tune. A very powerful song, atleast for you and me. I can't listen to many songs that have the Bagpipes in them.

She is not in the past, she is very much in the now.
@artzest Hear, hear!! I feel that tug from both Ireland and Scotland, and I've never, in all my 65 years, been out of South Africa. Incredible music - moves me to tears each time I hear it!
Thanks a lot for that wonderfull song. A little hello to all the people living around campbelltown and all the scotish people. Scotland , your scotland is the most beautifull place on earth. Marvelous glens, marvelous mountains , marvelous rivers with marvelous trouts and salmons, marvelous people you are all in my heart. Change nothing :)

this is pure genius. those lyrics! they make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! thank you god for giving us paul mccartney.
Couldn't agree more!! I don't think we'll ever get "another" Paul McCartney

I wonder too where the inspiration comes from, he can make melodies that reach your soul.
@@Kya37 It's just an uncanny ability that some people have to be able to put themselves in a mindset, place or setting even if they have never experienced it themselves.

** yea he's alright **
Quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It captures the longing and missing for one's home.
As we grow older, and experience life, we all have our own "Mull of Kyntire"
So true, Eldon.
Far have I travelled and much have I seen...
Darkest of mountains with valleys of green...
Vast painted deserts, the sunsets of fire...
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre...

This is just beautiful! My son was two when it was released and he used seek me out with “pipes daddy pipes”! It has a special part in my life!

Love this song and the bag pipes hit me everytime classic nice guy and great song he made
Allan Friskow I love the sounds of bagpipes
Dude, it was co-written with Denny Laine who used to be in the Moody Blues.

Very true. This song was written by two Englishmen!
Reminds me of Wrangell, Alaska. The mist rolling off from the straight, the shrimp fishing boats coming in back from fishing. My friend Larry and I living like kings and Queens because we had the freshest shrimp in the world to enjoy, and he would always say "We are living better than millionaires right now, because they can't taste shrimp right out of the water like this, it's only for us". It was then that I realized that living in that moment in that time was worth more than money, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Later I went to sleep aboard the Raven and the waves rocked us to sleep. It's a sweet memory of youth, and this song just makes me lonesome for it. I love this song.
pjgumy, you had me at Shrimp. I live in south Louisiana, love shrimp. you may not be wealthy but you are rich.
I have lived a very rich life and half the time didn't have two dimes to rub together, I wouldn't trade a moment!
I Miss Alaska, I lived in Wasilla Alaska is truely a Dream,.
i cried...how beautiful is this song and bring me back to the childhood :)
Nenad Črnac Same.. its been many many moon's since I've heard this beautiful song myself..👍
Brings tears to your eyes and I am not even Scottish
tatjanasutube its a powerful song
@Matthew Lewin I think most people know Paul McCartney isn't but the song essentially is.
amazed66 just cause a song is about Scotland doesn’t mean it’s scotish.
As a Scouser AND a Scotsman, I adore this song 😊😊
Fraser Pickle Pie scousers are lads
What a masterpiece ! It is breaktaking so it IS beautiful. Sir Paul 'voice IS Moving. I love bagpipes.

Love this ballad, especially bagpipes, Paul and Wings, lyrics and many, many fond memories. Thank you for creating, sharing this quality video.❤
been whistling this song all day long and I don’t really know why but it’s nice.
THIS MAN NEVER FAILS TO WRITE A HIT
Dear Mr.PaulMcCartney more than three decades ago I heard and enjoy this splendid song. Now I 60 when I hear this song as well as seeing the beautiful scenaries of Mull of Kintyre it makes as if I were with you in Mull of Kintyre. May God bless all your endeavours in music.
I did enjoy singing, thank you, with snot running down my face. Twelve times.
This popped into my head one day and I couldn't find it anywhere until I asked my mother about the tune, I'm glad I've found it
This has peaceful memory's attached to it and I don't want to let go of them yet.
I love this freakin song...you can't help but sing along
I love music like this brings back memories of the good old days
The video is great; Sir Paul and Lady McCartney are on the strand with what looks like half of the population of Kintyre. Better yet, they are all gathered round a huge bonfire & then the Campbelltown Pipe Band comes marching up the shingle, playing. WOW!
My family was from Scotland and I love this song and the bagpipes get to me. Beautiful .
my pa was from scotland this was his favourite song he was all smiles listening to this song he was buried to this song even though we wasnt told he passed away me and my daughter had to watch my pas funeral years later on a dvd such good family we have not R.I.P PA LOVE U AND MISS YOU XOXO

Amazing song. One of my favourites.
Paul is the first and ONLY man who ever made me cry, i can't help crying everytime i listen to this song, just as the first time i heard it on the radio
Thanks for sending the words of this wonderful song
Paul thought that this song was not going to be a hit because of the bagpipes. I think that is what made it so cool!!!
We used to sing this in assembly. Over 35 years ago. We were taught this tune on our recorder for our music lessons.
Time flew, oh I wish I could turn back to those innocent years …
This is the most beautiful song . I have ancestors in Scotland . I hope to see the beautiful Scotland.
BRILLIANT record, No 1 for weeks on end as the Xmas chart topper 1977. I'm sure it was No 1 untill February 1978. AWESOME song as I say. Cheers for posting this stunning classic chart topper.
Brings me back closer to the “Old Country”, 🏴🇨🇦 🏴🇨🇦 🏴🇨🇦
Everyone has a Mull of Kintyre in their hearts. Miss you !
hello from England God bless you all xxx
I absolutely love this song.
Love this song,,, made me think of my Mull of Kintyre. Broght tears of joy to my heart and eyes with the emotion of this song. Oh, to go home.....*-*
Everyone has their own special "Mull of Kintyre". I'm happy you have yours.❤
absolutely, this is a song for the ages and will be around after we are all gone.
Only heard this, days ago.
It's BEAUTIFUL.
I have been to the Mull of Kintyre, and it was absolutely fabulous. There was no one there. Just my husband and I. My husband and I have also been to Stonehenge many years ago. We are in our 70's now, but we visited Stonehenge 50 years ago when it just stood there. No gates, not boundaries. We have such wonderful pics from those years. Wish you could have seen Stonehenge becore they cordened it off and put up all the barbed wire.
i love listening to this song,,,awesome bagpipes..love it
awesome, beautiful, tearful, wonderful. Thank you for posting with lyrics. One of the prettiest songs and lyrics I've ever heard.
I'm here having listened to a Freddie Mercury interview, Freddie spoke about this beautiful song being a huge hit all over the world but not in America. Queen's songs didn't fare so well in America either. It's wonderful and I'd never heard of it.
We learned this song and Farewell to Nova Scotia when I grew up in Eastern Passage, in Nova Scotia! :) Never forgot the words.
One of the greatest Songs of the World..let us all go back to our Homes where our own Mull of Kyntire is.
An old song but it always brings us to the sweet memories of our life; our villages, our farms .....nice life
The earliest song I remember being played everywhere on the radio- where we lived in Surrey. Must have been 4 . PM had one of the finest creative imaginations of the last century , sung in tune with our souls' deepest wishes and desires.
When I grow up, my kids will love Paul McCartney whether they like it or not!
his voice has always been a soothing one
It remindes me of better days! A Bautiful song, and one of my favourites!
thanks, I did enjoy singing along. I didn't know all the words until I got to see your video. I also love the bagpipes. Beautiful.
It makes me homesick for a place I have never been...
I think when you're on your way to the place you've never been, you will know it and you won't feel homesick anymore.
I've been and not being there now hurts even worse.
@@joycemesaros7110 great way to approach that query.
@@chazvalvo2840 I'm sorry. I hope maybe one day you can return there.
@@joycemesaros7110Thank You for the lovely thought. I feel that I have enough time left on the face of the Earth to get back but for right now family commitments are keeping me in Florida. When I'm no longer obligated to looking after elderly family members I'm on the first smoking jet back to the U K.
I started singing this to myself this morning on my walk to work because of the mist coming off the field. Didn't know all the words so just had to play it again.
shane your gran was a woman with a love of good music, god bless rip nan
Imagine a Beatles version of this with John, George and Ringo. I would cry
My husband wanted this played at his memorial and I think Paul did a fine job on this one. I can't imagine any other version. This will always stick in my mind. Just my thoughts xx
Denny Laine from the moody blues wrote this with Paul .... can hear his input....he was with Paul 10 years on wings ....I cannot hear the Beatles here sorry ...and I have been a fan forever I am the same age as Paul.....I can Hear Nights in white Satin
Thank you, Denny Laine,for taking part in it.
Thanks to you to post the Lyrics, Love it, love Paul's Mull of Kintyre, and (I'm French !) the lyrics help me to understand each word .... and I can sing with Paul ! ... So delightful, gives me "peps" for the whole day through ! Thanks !
Oh, THANK you!
This song always makes me cry. It's just beautiful. Never been to Scotland but I love the bagpipes.
One of his best!! It really takes you there and you'd like to live there.
Sir Paul McCartney is god of music.
This is a great song and I thank you for being able to hear, thank you very much.
Esta canción la oigo frecuentemente, es muy buena y habla del folclore de escocia, Paul McCartney es genial.
i learnt to play this on the guitar just by ear, i love it. i play it on my guitar when i want to relax or if im already in a good mood :)
I liked this song since the first time I heard it, I was 12, I had received a K7 recorder, this is the second song I recorded in my life (can not remember the first).
I've been listening to the Beatles since the age of 4, on Sunday mornings I stole my parents' 45s and played them on the phono while jumping on the sofa, all members of the Beatles were alive at that time...
As a maori wahine from New Zealand with not a drop of Scottish blood, i feel the passion and the call of battlefield oh and the mana,(pride)! What an honourable race you represent here!! Mean Maori Mean
love this song - sounds just beautiful.
One of my very fav's. Thank you!
played at pops funeral, brings me to tears!
Tina, my brother played the Pipes to this tune. A very powerful song, atleast for you and me. I can't listen to many songs that have the Bagpipes in them. I miss my Brother, -- South Island Champion for BagPipes in New Zealand, he was brillant. I correct that, he IS the best. The same statement is true for you. She is not in the past, she is very much in the now.
@artzest Hear, hear!! I feel that tug from both Ireland and Scotland, and I've never, in all my 65 years, been out of South Africa. Incredible music - moves me to tears each time I hear it!
I love this song! I prefer to sing while I'm sober, thank you.
Thanks a lot for that wonderfull song.
A little hello to all the people living around campbelltown and all the scotish people.
Scotland , your scotland is the most beautifull place on earth. Marvelous glens, marvelous mountains , marvelous rivers with marvelous trouts and salmons, marvelous people you are all in my heart.
Change nothing :)
