    Another Englishman here, first heard this watching the footage of the Hibs fans after the cup final, it was the best rendition of a song by football fans I’d ever seen, I had goosebumps.
    Have looked up the song since watching the Proclaimers footage,an absolutely beautiful song, which I admit brings tears to my eyes.

    it’s impossible to me not being emotional with a song like this. Feeling saved and loved by someone else, when you were destroyed before, is the greatest feeling of love that you can get. But, lose that person for good, when she dies... it's worst, even more than you can imagine. I hear this song, and i remember her with love, but with sorrow too.
