- In this video we're listening to The Proclaimers. This band had a huge hit in the 90's when we were young adults with 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)'. That is the only song that we know very well by them, so we are definitely curious about their music. Let's hear what more they have to offer. Enjoy!

The twins support Hibernian FC, from Leith, Edinburgh. Only the Hibs fans sing this song.
If the Hanier family want a moving version hunt out the one by the Hibs fans after they won the Scottish Cup final.
"letter from america" is awesome as well
Sunshine on Leith the film from 2013 is great too
The beauty of The Proclaimers is how they sing in their native accent, check out LETTER FROM AMERICA an up tempo from the twins, good job family take care from Glasgow.
This is a great album and song . When the album came out in 1988 I’m Gonna be was a moderate hit on modern / alternative rock stations . It wasn’t til 1993 when it was on the Benny and Joon movie soundtrack that it really took off and became a huge hit. At least here in the U.S.
My fave song by them. The live version is amazing too with the fans singing along 😊
Beautiful reaction. Leith is an area around the docks and the district is fiercely proud of it's identity as being a separate district from Edinburgh. The brothers are Hibs supporters and Leith is where Hibernian Football Club play at their stadium called Easter Road. It's a famous anthem of the Hibs supporters and Leithers (Residents of the area). I was a little surprised you did not comment on the lyrics? Take care Haniers and vibes from Bonny Scotland.
I’m English and love the Proclaimers and if I were to support a Scottish team it would be Hibs
Let's get married is another good one by them
Beautiful song, brought tears to my eyes
I live in Edinburgh but I was born and still work in Leith. I love this song ❤
One of my favourite ever songs. Beautiful.
🤯… This song makes me cry EVERY time ! So soulful , so heartfelt and SO homesick-making for us ex-pats ! Totally unlikely pop stars but that they are ! Leith is a separate but very close neighbour of Edinburgh , they’re fiercely independent , the footy tournament you seen Chris was the Scottish cup win by Hibernian one of the 2 Edinburgh football teams , they adopted this song and they belt it out every time Hibs play . It was such a departure from their earlier hits like Letter from America and Throw the ‘R’ Away and indeed the well known I’m gonna be .. it’s got Irish and even Cajun echoes to my ears and unbelievably uplifting … sigh … just perfect 👌
👍🏴
I was never a Fan but anybody that can sing a song aboot Leith that issnae aboot Alkis or Junkies fightin' in the Streets is Ok by me.
@@SPKdesign1indeed 😝.. or American ships that topple over in their dry dock .. dunno if you seen that ? 🤯
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I didnae. That would've been a sight.
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I did a couple o Gigs doon at the Ocean Terminal in a Tinywee Iron building. That was a great place but it got taken doon to make way for a Whiskey Shop. Tourist Money wins over aw.
@@SPKdesign1 doesn’t it just ! Have you been down the Royal Mile lately ? It’s like a shortbread tin and it’s def NOT for the locals 😳
👍🏴
I am in sunny Leith, right now , where they even have a street named after me , go Charlie go Craig, love it, more more more 🏴✌️
Yay , wish the Sun was shining down here in a wet Cornwall ! The Dynamic Duo strikes again !
Lovely song.
You should watch the movie by the same name
Great film too, well worth a watch 😊
Because of their popularity in Canada (and probably Scotland), this band got a second chance, and they ran with it!!!
I love this album!!!
Another band we (Canadians) afforded a second chance to was Katrina and the Waves, their re-release was waaay different, and better, but we kept them afloat just long enough. Before you go on about how crappy they were, you're probably thinking only of "Walking on Sunshine", and you shouldn't do that, it's like the worst song on the album (and you still know all the lyrics, and really like the song), but the whole album if pretty fucking awesome.
We don't have any of their stuff on our channel. Which one should we try out?
@@hanierfamily Easy choice for me, a bit more difficult for you.
"The Game of Love" ( th-cam.com/video/Ii_qEb1YRg8/w-d-xo.html ) is a great, straight up rock and roll tune, plus no-one else has ever reacted to it, like ever.
If you want guaranteed views, like maybe, go with "Walking on Sunshine", but it was so overplayed that a lot of folks don't like it, even though it's a really good song.
Look, you guys are the best at deep cuts and stuff, I'm sure you'll do the right thing lol.
You would love the film of the same name. Sunshine on Leith.
Don't want to say too much and give things away.
❤
Beautiful from my Cousins up north.
Leith is a sea port in the northen part of Edinburgh!
Now listen to it in the soccer stadium:-
Hibernian v Rangers 2016
Much better when an audience sing it!
It's an emotional song for sure and means a lot to me as my wife is called leaf , so very close to lyrics makes it special for us both
Leith is the seaport for the city of Edinburgh (Embra).
You should look up videos of Hibs fans singing this. It’s impressive.
Yes.....its a very special rendition. If it doesn't move you you're not human.
In Vancouver 30 years ago the lads brought the roof down telling us we have no idea what it's like living above a country of egomaniacs, etc. What a show it was.
If you've ever watched Shrek then The Proclaimers are on the soundtrack with their song " I'm on my way " .
That's right! We know that one too. Before Shrek, but yeah. We loved that movie series with our kids. Some of that due to the music.
Funny, that steel guitar just does it for me! I think it sounds beautiful. 'Mon the Hibs! 🟩⬜
I lived close to the River twice over the years. Once in an Old Millhouse doon Dean Village and also in Leith itself for a Few years.
I was born in leith but moved to East Kilbride in 1954
Leith was also the setting for the Film Trainspotting.
They were sooo good ❤
Craig and Charlie the twins that make up the Proclaimers are quite religious and use their faith quite a lot in their songs without being preachy . 👌
👍🏴
Hi sir Jay , a grand tune , a song that you would never guess was from Scotland as the accent does not come through a bit ! Cheers G
@@ghichens3418 my arse Sir G 😝
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering Yes indeedy !
Letter from America is a more upbeat song, equally good. Throughout the song, you will hear the names of towns where once a bustling industry employed thousands of Scots used to be. Each of them are, ad the boys say, "No More"
From South Lanarkshire in Scotland, keep up the good work 🏴
Have a listen to the HIBERNIAN Football fans singing this at Hampden Park .....its a heartbreaker.
I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more to be the man who ‘d walk 1000 miles to fall down at your door. That’s where the 1000 comes from , 1000 total
It's 500 miles and 500 more so you're both right, kinda.😁
Strange choice for a football anthem .but it works with the Hibs fans singing it .and the twins who wrote it are both Hibs fans.There is also a movie with the music in it .
I love this song
This is a shot of people walking on Arthurs Seat, an extinct volano in Edinburgh looking over in the distance to Leith and Hibernian's ground Easter Road. Hibs have just beaten their fierce city rivals Heart of Midlothian and you can hear "Sunshine on Leith" sung by the crowd drifting on the wind. th-cam.com/video/mKx_U9P41-U/w-d-xo.html
I just sung along to it 😂. What about letters from America.
great song
“Kinda country, kinda folky..” no accident. The roots of American country music are in the folk music of Scotland and Ireland. And it has come back home in a big way, influencing many Scottish and Irish artists.
Thanx for doing this one. Forgot that I requested it, but it figures seeing as i like the song. The Proclaimers were two hit wondres in Australia. The other hit was ''I'm On My Way''. Chris and Cynthia, please look up ''1983 commercial - Brut 33 - Where Would You Be?'' and tell me if this ad rings a bell. The ad was made in Melbourne during the winter of 1982, and in spite of the cold, all cast and crew had a jolly good time. I worked as a crew member, and I was also part of ''where, where'' chorus.
I heard it got exposure in Canada, and I've always been curious to know if that is true.
LOL that sounded familiar for sure.
@@hanierfamily Uh-huh, interesting that Fabergé, Inc decided to go with our advert for international representation of their product.
" I can hear you Mr McGee" good call"🏴✌️
You are quite literally the man James 😊
👍🏴
An appropriate song today as both The European Championships & Copa America ⚽️ close ! Next up , World Cup in 2026 .. Hosted by Canada 🇨🇦 , Mexico 🇲🇽 & USA 🇺🇸.
I have several of their songs on vinyl single including "Letter to America" which you might be interested to know mentions Canada
The first time that I heard this, or one of the first times, was in the late 80s on a BBC Radio 1 show hosted by a DJ called Simon Bates. He had a feature called 'Our Tune', in which listeners wrote in to tell him about a song that had a special meaning to them. Most of the stories were fairly heart-rending.
I'm pretty sure that it was late autumn 1988 when someone suggested this song, saying that it reminded them of their daughter who had recently been killed. After reading the letter and just before playing the song, Bates revealed the identity of the contributor and his daughter.
I believe that his name was Gordon Wilson, a man who had come to prominence in the previous 12 months as he had spoken out in the media about the death of his daughter, a nurse who had been killed the previous year by an IRA bomb planted at a Remembrance Sunday event in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland.
This song always reminds me now of that story.
Their best song is their first "Letter from America" relevant to you chaps especially as it is about emigration from Scotland to North America.
"But I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked a 1,000 miles to fall down at your door" you're both right
This is Hibernian FC's song. In 2016 they won the Scottish cup final for the first time since 1902. The fans sang this song as the trophy was being presented (link below). It's real hairs stand on neck stuff, pure magic!
th-cam.com/video/LeHkQYDoVJ0/w-d-xo.html
Watch it, it is unbelievable.
I just came here to add this. Saved me the effort.
React to Hibernian fans singing this song
As a Villa fan I saw them singing this at Villa Park. It was special.
@@johndixon9867 Wasn't that a European preliminary tie, when Hibs got trounced?
Yes we beat them 8-0 on aggregate but there was a great atmosphere
It's very Jockinese, so it's perfect for Sir Jay!😂😂😂
Tis indeed Sir Col 😅
👍🏴
With plenty of Jocktitude !
@@ghichens3418 indeed 😆

Should check out the version of 500 miles from the movie sunshine on leith
When they play this live they have a violinst called Erica Nockalls. She also plays for the Wonder Stuff.
There was a (romantic) stage musical which was then made into a movie called 'Sunshine on Leith' featuring the music of the Proclaimers. I think that they have done much better than this and I'm gonna be (500 miles), both good songs but their debut hit - Letter from America is far superior imo and my next favourite is the Joyful Kilmarnock blues. Cheers.
Can i make a song Request?? Bob Marley - Babylon System
Its "FOOTBALL" not bloody SOCKER..
Sorry. We're Canadian. Of course it's football. (And how Canadian of us to apologize, eh?)
