First tune : Scots Wha Hae (by Robert Burns)
Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled
Scots wham Bruce has aften led
Welcome tae yer gory bed
Or tae victorie
(…/…)
Lay the proud usurper low
Tyrants fall in every foe
Liberty's in every blow
Let us do or dee
Second tune : Flower of Scotland (by Roy Williamson-The Corries)
O Flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

With the 4th tune (Scotland The Brave) - by Éric Dentinger :
Red are the ropes that tied us
Red like the blood they gave us
Blue is the flag in the sky
White cross
Past the time for slavery
Wallace died to be free
This is the time for liberty
If those times are surely over
In the deepest corries mist
It’s alive in our veins
White cross
Blue the flag behind us
White the cross leading us
Soon is the time we will be free

That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

First tune (Dark Island)
In the years long gone by when I first left my home
I was young and I wanted the wide world to roam
But now I am older and wiser you see
For that lovely Dark Island is calling to me
Till the day that I die I will no longer roam
For that lovely Dark Island will be my last home
(Stewart Ross of Inverness )

You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move, child
You gotta move
But when the Lord
Get ready
You gotta move
You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich, child
You may be po'
But when the Lord
Get ready
You gotta move
(Mississippi Fred McDowell & Rev. Gary Davis)

I like electronic music too : so here's a great album with the sound you expect in this style but also with powerful melodies penned to be strongly kept in mind! Highly recommended!

Billow and Breeze
by Ally the Piper (Piper.Ally)
Some “sweet” bagpipes (yes, it does exist!) so that's a change for me and my heavy Highland one! And also a very nice voice all over the record and, for Outlander fans, a very sweet Skye Boat Song.
go to album
This album highlights a superb and charming voice, remarkably mixed; many outstanding arrangements for an amazing listening party from track 1 to track 13.
