Listening to this wonderful song, and seeing and hearing Bruce singing the words brings me to tears. It is so sad that he has died on September 5th, at such a young age. May he rest in peace, knowing he brought a lot of joy to thousands of folk. Thank you Bruce.
I love Julie Fowlis And Runrig. I Seen Them Live Yesterday Below Stirling Castle and they sounds amazing, and i mean AMAZING. Their voices are just so magical and beautiful. I seen Julie Fowlis twice in the space of 1 week, and her voice is so powerful, especially when shes singing in gaelic fast, shes amazing, shes the Queen Of Gaelic. I dont see why all the negative comments ??? Their amazing and spot on, this is a beautiful song.
I am not sure how many folk listening to this beautiful song will know the background to it, and its meaning. An American astronaut on the Columbia space shuttle (Laurel Clark) had been a Runrig fan from her time working in Scotland, and took 2 Runrig CDs with her when she went onto the International Space Station. Tragically, the shuttle blew up just 16 minutes from landing at Cape Canaveral, killing all seven crew members. Amazingly, the 2 CDs were found back on Earth by a NASA salvage team. The song was written as a tribute to her, and I feel it makes a lovely song even more poignant ! For example, the lines “Somewhere in the dark I'll find you, Somewhere in the light, I'll meet you there. Where immortal souls collide. Somewhere out there “ takes on a new and deeper meaning when you know the background ?
Thank you for unfolding the background of this song, I would never penetrate into the story behind this beautiful song. But I think not that there is a cycle of souls. If soul was immortal, we wouldn't accept the death so painfully... Therefore I think all perished are neither anguished, nor in bliss. They are just the part of silent ground.
Dìreach àlainn. The combination of Bruce and Rory singing with Julie Fowlis is just lovely. A very different take on the original song, but equally beautiful.
I like both versions. I've been a Runrig fan since August 1993 (thank you to a former colleague of mine who introduced me to their music). It's a shame they won't be recording anymore new stuff.
Probably there wasn't enough space on that small stage. But earlier that morning they did an interview with him and Bruce. th-cam.com/video/7IuuPCW1ctE/w-d-xo.html
WTF cares? I have seen bands play in tinier spaces Totally live. We had Dire Straits, U2, the Stranglers, the Sex pistols.... I assume they played Live on a tiny stage? Your point is?
I prefer this version. The video they made to accompany it is one of the most beautiful, poignant things I've ever seen. th-cam.com/video/6oi8Wa_LZpw/w-d-xo.html

Absolutely devastated R.I.P Bruce, it was a pleasure seeing you play live, a memory I will never forget 😢
Such a dreadful shock. Still can't take it in Thinking of Bruce's family, band members and Julie Fowlis. Rest in Peace, Bruce.
Rest in Peace, Bruce 😞
R.i.p Bruce....🍂🍁🙏😢
The voice of Julie Fowlis is just so beautiful in this gorgeous song🏴 SAOR ALBA 🏴

This song is so special. We had it as our wedding song this year.

@@seantrabhdoir7605 Not silent never silent I will not bore you with my beliefs, but you need a rethink.
Beautiful
This song is just an all time classic .
Beautiful. Bruce almost broke towards the end there. Cannot help but think he knew at this point, and he was singing for his lady.
I went to see Runrig many years ago and was wowed by them.
Ich liebe die Musik von Runrig, sie fehlen mir so!!!

Love this song miss you jim ktid 🏴🏴🏴
Lovely tune, made even better by the lovely Julie
Ive listened to and loved this track, thank you Robert for the deeper explanation, makes it so much more poignant, haunting, and beautiful

Great vocal blending...
It chills me to the bone
Beautiful as always!x❤❤
DEP Bruce
Somewhere in the light we'll find you
Although a prefer the version on the album The Story, the words are now very poignant now RiP Bruce

Can't see if Rory's bass (which looks like a Sandberg) is plugged into anything. And it is a tiny stage. But still a beautiful song.

I'm sorry but the original version with Rory singing was far better and much more powerful!
kevscott1975 ???
I find them hard to compare. Roy's version is more rooted in loss, this is more filled with hope. I like both versions, for different moods.
Sigh.
I prefer this version. The video they made to accompany it is one of the most beautiful, poignant things I've ever seen.
