Runrig - Hearts Of Olden Glory Lyrics

I Love it


There's thunder clouds
Round the hometown bay
As I walk out
In the rain
Through the sepia showers
And the photoflood days
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Of life
And though the water's
Black as night
The colours of Scotland
Leave you young inside
There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young
There's a vision
Coming soon
Through the faith
That cleans your wound
Hearts of olden glory
Will be renewed
Down the glens
Where the headlands stand
I feel a healing
Through this land
A cross for a people
Like wind through your hands
There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young

Only one word: Beautiful

♡♡♡

Runrig, blessed with two exceptional singers! What a vocal from Bruce on this one. I really think Bruce prolonged Runrig's career. They would've been finished if they hadn't found a singer of this calibre.......

RIP RUNRIG, we will miss you so much. Hope there will be a reunion one day!

”There's thunder clouds around the hometown bay
As I walk out in the rain
Through the sepia showers
And the photoflood days

I caught a fleeting glimpse of life
And though the water's black as night
The colours of Scotland leave you young inside

There's a vision coming soon
Through the faith that cleans your wound
Hearts of olden glory will be renewed

Down the lens where the headlands stand
I feel a healing through this land
A cross for a people
Like wind through your hands

There must be a place under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory grow young” - By the words, Beyond the Words; Be the Love, Be the Light~

Never cry sleep

Absolutely stunning version of the classic song. Sends shivers down my spine. One of my top 5 Runrig songs. The boys may be retired but the music will live on.

My wedding song for august what a dream of mines if I had them live their

wat a song

The Scots have an ability to make music that stirrs your soul more than any other nationality has the right to. I'm English with Scots Irish English roots and what Celtic blood I have this band have always since I first heard them resonated with me.

Greetings from Spain,Scotland's always in my heart

Absolutely splendid and magic; I love, I love !!!!!!!!!!

I am searching this place for my life, but i cannot find it. I go on until I find it.

Beautiful song, greetings from Amsterdam!

Good song

one of the best and greatest songs of all times... and the song of my wife and me! thank you so much, great band!!!! great song!!!!!

Love this song

Danke....runrig....das Lied geht an eine kleine Frau....ihr Name ist woula aus gütersloh.....

Var til Runrig i royal arena i Kbh til deres afsked koncert det var en fed oplevelse sammen med at det var sidste gang jeg kommer til at opleve dem live. Tak for en rigtig dejlig aften i royal arena. Mvh Dan

AW! Absolutely lovely.

One of the Best bands i ever herd, to bad its over. Love there Music

Brilliant song 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Regards from South Africa. When are you coming here. Am originally (10 years ago I came here). Miss my own land. Except the weather

These runrig songs create that totally inexplicable love of homeland that is communicable way beyond home shores. A patriotism that is not allied to hatred of others like so much English patriotism is. This and The Highest Apple develop pride in one's own identity coupled with a love for all. I wonder how much of the SNP's rise is coupled to Runrig's powerful cultural influence.

Jeg er med🇬🇱🇩🇰🌹🙏

The only problem with the sun in this song is... it never comes out it's always cold..... well to other people not from Scotland

wow O NEILL CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB , WI A NAME LIKE ONEILL THAT SURE IS NOT SCOTTISH SO TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE .

@duncancallum your an astronaut lol

greetings from Belgium!

thats magic

petroleum tapwater smell

A fabulous group singing a fabulous song. Thank you.

Tak tak til Runrig for en rigtig dejlig aften i royal arena. Vi ses

What an amazing band, love them

Greetings from England in 2018 where I am sad that this great band is no more. Great music has no boundaries

Only two more concerts

This hurts so much. Good bye Runrig 😭

Roses for Andrew Scott this song has always given me the shivers, even more so now...

They won't be taking the stage together anymore, but we have over 40 years of them and their recordings. We have all been truly blessed.

Billy conaillow

No one does Scottish songs better than runrig. ALBA FOREVER

I almost forgot to listen to this today lol

It's such a wonderful Song, I love it!!! A great version!!!

Scottish pink floyd

Not as good as Donnie. But still good

There is no heritage, any where on this earth that this song does not speak to.

Gretings from Poland city Lodz Napiorkowski Marek

Nice ;)

My dad got me listening to runrig he was a massive fan of them, there music is fantastic and at times very touching like this song it does remind me of my father as he is in heaven now I like to listen to it and smile

darren gray This song was requested to be played at both my mother and fathers funerals, and it was. They discovered it listening to me playing it in my bedroom in my early twenties. Probably the only time our music interests properly collided, when my mum knocked on the bedroom door and asked what *is* that song was brilliant.

Thank you, Runrig, for a great preformance in Copenhagen, yesterday 2018. Best day ever.

Songs from bands like this make you proud to be a Scot 💪💪

that pianist has star spangled eyes

Once had a chance to see these guys in'92 as they were back up for Genesis at Leeds.Coach driver took 5 hrs to get from Carlisle to leeds which is 100 miles.We were going to lynch the driver for making us miss these guys.Only got to see Lisa Stansfield and Genesis.Although i did pay for Genesis i wanted to see Runrig.

Runrig at there best, fantastic group.😎 great song.

I am a scot why are we cursed with so many fucking nawbags

Best moment for me is seeing the Scottish and Canadian flags waving together as I'm half and half 💙

What a voice this man has.

Åh jeg glæder mig til juni !

Unfortunately, the era of the best band ever comes to an end in 2017.

Lord Blade of Glencoe loves this song.

Such a shame they never came to New Zealand - have been a fan from afar for over 25 years, never seen them in concert, now probably never will unless I win lotto as no hope otherwise of getting together enough money for flights and tickets from whatever source I could get them at this late stage.

RUNRIG 4 EVER , 2 Millionen fans worldwide *5

Got tickets to see their final tour in Stirling, Scotland.

Cry, its beautiful

Stirling Castle, August 2018, here I come ! Incredible song !

David McClung see you there! Could someone give thanks to the backing band!!!!!

David McClung good being a jock innit!!!!!

its good.but its better with Donny.

Magic. Pure magic

❤️🇩🇰

Makes you proud to be Scottish ❤

Aloha from Hawai'i! Just discovered this group. Lovely music that stirs the soul.

Bruce is more of a nationalist than that mongo munro cunt will ever be

Reminds me of my brother who passed away

1272, 1456, 1839, 1947, 1952, 1986 ; 7, 6, 4, 2, 7:49, 2, 7, 5, 2, 4, 6, 3, 1, 5 446 571 538 449 249 367 576 607 348 in the name one martyr might seek breakfast in the name of serving it without anything about a bridge to me.

Nagyon szép lírai szám!!!!!

So wonderful. I am heartbroken they are retiring but their music will last forever.

I was their on that night and listening to this song takes me right back. What a voice this man has.

If scotland is so beautiful as his wonderful songs, scotland must be the paradise. I love these songs, performed by runrig.

fantasic

Bruce' Guthro is a great singer but he's not Scottish

So what?

Thank you for all this Years. This Song, is one of the best songs in Music History!!!From one of the greatest Fans in Germany. Greetings from Patrick.
