The Queen of Scots is risen!

One of the most popular Scottish melodies played on the bagpipes.
First of all...Credit where credit is due:
however...
The melody is as scottish as me, not at all. The melody was composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 (you're welcome, Scotland)
But of course you are kinda right cause as far as I know this melody is a virally played bagpipe classic in Scotland and I read somewhere that people suggested it as official Scottish National Anthem But "Flower of Scotland" is amazing too and I wouldnt like to be the person who decides which one would represent Scotland the best is there a time restriction for the length of national anthems? otherwise I would recommend "Aura" or "Pillars of the Earth" by Saor But it's up to the Scots to decide this I suppose
Anyway, best of luck my friend
After failing in last edition, we will try once again with Scottish folk tunes. However, a 180° turn from last time in terms of popularity of the song; from one of the best known Scottish songs to one of the most underrated and unknown songs. The same applies to the artist. He has only 24 listeners on last.fm and all of his songs have <1000 listens on Spotify. Moreover, this song has only 2 listeners. It wasn't even easy to find who sings this song. I find the whole song so haunting; from vocals, over the bagpipes part, to the children choir part (and everything other). Hope you enjoyed it. |
