Default Sorry, but this is beautiful.

Never realized she had it it in her:


Unfortunately we heard this three times this year.

I hate that song. Especially on bagpipes.

I've heard it far too often.

Nice and wellknopwn song, but being played far too often, and on every bad opportunity.

I guess you guys play that at memorial/funeral services, given lance and 1480's comments.. I can see how it might affect ppeople at those sorts of events.

Personally, I've always found the last post to be the most haunting piece of music that can be played. Especially ANZAC ceremonies.

Not impressed. Yes, she has a great voice, but like a lot of modern singers uses much to much trillwork for my taste. It's less like she's singing the song than just showing off.

And everybody who ever sings it always leaves out my two favorite verses.
