[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 265526"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (alexmac @ Jun 3 2009, 08:42 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=398706']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> While I have no opinion on this Alexmac touches on a good point. Its a song written by two Germans who came to Scotland and saw a place so awesome and fantastic that they had to put their tribute into song. It reminds me of this Czech composer who came to the UK as a war refugee during WWII and during his childhood went to everywhere in the British Isles and found the place so profoundly amazing that not only did he settle here but he used his skills as a composer to give something back to the Country which had welcomed him with open arms: he penned a montage of the most famous songs in British & Irish history from Rule Britannia to Danny Boy to Men of Harlech to various seafaring songs and so on which was the song which opened BBC Radio 4 every day from sometime in the 1970s till 2007. Bottom line: it is a huge honor if someone from countries afar are composing stuff in [i]your[/i] honour out of genuine heartfelt thanks. [/QUOTE]
