- I'm a club DJ and I get home at 4am. One night about a month after this song was #1, MTV had the boys on at 4am. I recorded it because I really like the song and wanted another version of the video to play at the club.
This version ROCKS, it's live and acoustic with just the two. No drum, nothing and wow, the energy is amazing, like they first played it.
Also, this performance is for the camera. I'll bet, at the most, including the boys, maybe 10 people were in the studio to see it live.
Here are the Proclaimers, Craig and Charlie.
I have grown to like this performance the most as time passes because it is so raw and powerful. A modern folk love song classic.
4 million + views. Wow. I'm sure the boys, Doctor Who and the whole cast, and you my friends have all Taken a look.
Thanks and Enjoy
I would walk 500 miles to see them in concert!
I would gladly be the man that walked a thousand miles to see these twins sing and play. Wonder when they will visit the old Viking Mainland Denmark, where almost every lad looks exactly like them. They would fit in nicely. Per in Aarhus Mainland Denmark.
Give me chills. There best live performance
One of the few modern ballads that always delivers!
I saw them recently, just the two of them and the guitar., the whole set. Amazing, the two voices. I was spechless.
I grew listening to this gem and now I am playing it in february 2022with a 3 months old son in my lap and my lovely wife by my side. Never will I ever get tired of this masterpiece.
Love their accent so much, espically that Thoesand!
I love these guys!!!!!
1 - acoustic guitar
1 - tamborine
2 - vocals
Equal one smoking hot song and performance.
You either have it or you don't..........they have it.
Thanks for the post!
Those backvocal fit so well. impressive for a live performance.
This is my wedding song and funeral song. Love this song!
Wow, I've loved this song forever and I haven't seen this version. Thanks so much for putting it up--it's great!
It's my favorite song and benny and joon is my favorite movie as well:)
Every time I listen to this song, all I think about is Ted and Marshall in a road trip, LoL.
Brilliant, just their voices, guitar and a tambourine! Just awesome!
Wow! 3 million views. Most of you stay and watch the whole clip. About 1,000 of you come back monthly.
I know now that some of the cast and crew of Doctor Who have viewed this clip and, as a Doctor Who lover for all my life, this makes me joyous.
This song has been stuck in my head for a few weeks now. And to be honest, I'm not sure that I want it to go away
I am officially in love with this song, could NEVER be over played. :D
122 guys and counting, that need to walk a 1000 miles to appreciate LIVE Music!!!
276 :( 10/03/2021.
I love this song.. it made me inspired..
So one twin would walk 500 miles, tag the other who would walk the final 500 and the lass wouldn't know they'd split the grand deed! Brilliant!!
236 people had a convulsion while trying to click the LIKE button.
this song deserves love from anyone that would be that commited to love.
Sympatičtí kluci s osobitým kouzlem a neskutečně úžasným hlasem, super😍
Anybody that ever felt like producing music should listen to this as the perfect example.
Such a simple song, with two voices, a guitar, and a tambourine. Listen to the tambourine move the song.
Brilliant.
how amazing is this!? 2 guys and 2 instruments. fantastic!
The Proclaimer are probably the best in performing live out of the whole world!
Scottish and proud
Like a famous person once said:
"I never get sick of this song"
So unique. I really love this song.
Love this version! Thankyou for posting it!!!!!
Man..they sing SOOO GOOD LIVE!!! :-( 90's rules
At last! a version where I could understand the lyrics! Thanks for posting.
What a Great Song from a Great Band!!! Perfect, Perfect, Perfect melody and so simple that touches almost perfection!
Thanks Guys!
Wow! Sounded as good as the record! So good! Thank you!
Its great to know that a Scottish song is so popular around the world. Been to many of their gigs.
After all these years I finally watched Benny and June. Very touching, like it a lot. Glad all you like it to and have come here. Enjoy!
VideoMusicManiac Benny and June is one of my all time favorite movies! It is a travesty that Johnny Depp has yet to be awarded an oscar: he is a brilliant actor!
Actually it IS simple.
But to create the simple that that is beautiful is GENIUS.
They still sound the same:)
"Almost" every penny, well done boys, keep the options open.
I would walk 500 miles for Jessy
Amazing musicians.
They would not win Pop Idol, but they win every heart.
HIMYM??? Really? What usually comes to my mind is Dublin, some pub, Guinness and friends!
The "How I met your mother"-show made me discover this. What a gem - my number one road trip song!
They played this again on HIMYM.
Finding that (Dr Who cast party video of this song) clip on TH-cam was a magic moment. Realizing the most probably the whole cast has viewed this clip, overwhelming.
Long live Scotland!!!!!!!!!!
Scotland forever
Burp...
Amazing!
They were the first "proper" band I ever saw....1986 or 7 at Glasgow barrowlands!
Mid Eighties...everything was synth electro new romantic Duran Duran stuff and then there was these 2 ,out of nowhere, singing "da rah dah rah!" at the top of their voices, singing political songs in their own voices.
Fantastic....and look how it's stood the test of time!
It reminds me of Leadbelly....and you know, I think it's every bit as good!
George ezra - budapest
George Donaldson of Celtic Thunder sings this classic on their new DVD "Take Me Home"
He isn't nerdy at ALL. Fabulous. This is a song that will never grow old...its great.
I love this version I posted of course... But wow! This version I've link to is amazing.

thanks, "how i met your mother" - my favorit song!
Arrivederchi, Fierro!
These are real musicians! We need more of them today. Or maybe we just need them to be more popular and kick out the others :)
All I can think about right now is David Tennant excitedly singing this and marching to it
This song is so perfect! I love it. I can't remember where I first heard it, but it's popped up on several film soundtracks. " Bennie & Joon" with Johnny Depp, " Burke & Hare" with the genius Simon Pegg, and many more. I am just elated to have found this gem all tose years ago. Really, no bickering - just rejoice in a brilliant bit of music !
Even live, they sound really amazing. The charm, the lyrics, and energy. Amazing.
23 years later and they still sing the song with that helluva intensity. Look @ the faces.
That accent is amazing!!!
These guys are so good.. Sunshine on Leith is one of my all time favourite albums.
I would walk 500 miles listening to this on repeat
I love this song. I found it maybe 2 or 3 years ago and fell in love. I'm 18 btw.
I can't believe how good they actually are.
Bloody AWESOME!
This tune is a firework!
Proof that the best music doesn't need a stylist - magic!
wow i loved this not many performers can actually get up on stage and sound good but they can thats true talent!
All I can think of is David Tennant jumping around like the cutest fanboy :D
Mexicans love this song!!! We love the Scots!!! This song pertains many cultures around the world.
I love these words!This song is the best.
the best version, ever
Whenever i hear this song i see Ted and Marshall in the car...
always///
idc who or what brought you here, this song is beautiful
I really enjoy their accents, they make me think of the rolling green pastures up in beautiful Ireland.
this is one of their best renditions ever! the acoustic version is what we not often really hear or see... but its great to see one!
i heard this song like 8 years ago and i never forgot it
Thank you boys, that was a point blank smash. You are great!
everytime i hear this song there are just 5 words in my mind
how i met your mother^^
This song is EPIC. My friend told of a How I met your mother episode and BAM I watched it and Loved it. Thank You proclaimers.
This video brought David and the whole Doctor Who cast to view!
Simplesmente fantástico, essa versão acústica é a mais bonita. O violão e o pandeiro, as duas vozes, fica fantástico, parabéns, que coisa linda. Essa é a minha primeira música da coleção, descobri por acaso, assistindo o filme Benny e Joon, a partir daquele momento me tornei fã incondicional do dueto de irmãos The Proclaimers. Agora conheço quase todas as músicas da dupla.
I live in Edinburgh and i aaaalways see these guys walking around the city! So weird to see them so young!:P
i love them . they are class . David Tennant loves so that's good enough for me (: . Love this song . the scot's rule!!
the power of this is in its directness....i love it !
I just keep listening and watching. It's addictive. :)
Excellent. Raw talent.
I just love the Proclaimers. This is a fantastic performance. Thanks so much for posting it. Thumbs up to ya.
Best acoustic version ever!
Great performance. What a genuine talents.
This is how I want to be loved!!!
Now THAT's a love song!
Oh, that was the best version. Really fantastic. Thanks for putting it up.
That's about when I saw this on tv also. It was like 3 or 4 am on some crappy show and it was the coolest performeance of that song I have ever heard. Thanks for posting this!
WOW they sound awesome LIVE!
let me find someone to love just so they can sing this song to me!!!!! whaaattt, sooo dang epic!!!!
I remember watching this back in 2008 !
i loved this song since i was old enough to enjoy music LOL
I totally respect this guys. They put much effort to this song making it hard to compare with other artist.
It's a crime that there's no loop button to automatically replay this song over and over again.
i'm in love with the proclaimers :)
5/5
a few times in my life "i would walk one thousand miles"
i doubt they would know that; but so what!
it's how much i cared/wanted/loved 'em.
this song is a gem.
Best love song ever ... ❤
Awesome. They both look so similar :-) One of the best songs
Awesome version : thank you, twin brothers !!!
I first heard this at the beginning of the movie Benny and June with Johnny Depp. It liked the film, but this was by far the best part of the movie.
