After an intensive training with experts from the BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) the German bagpipe band was founded in 1977. The band's public appearances help to make the scottish bagpipes more popular in Germany.
The song was written by Paul McCartney and bandmate Denny Laine in tribute to the picturesque Kintyre peninsula in Argyll & Bute, Scotland, where McCartney had owned a home and recording studio since the late 1960s.
Lyrics:
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre - Zábava
Nothing will ever beat the haunting beauty of the sounds of the bagpipes.
Absolutely right I get goosebumps and emotional listening to bagpipes being half Scottish myself. Listening reminds me of my late Grandfather McLean
@@skipfreeman3465 my dads a McLean but i dont think any relation, my moms a McIntosh! both sides from scotland but my dads side we dont know too much about. before McIntosh it was bryceland or O'breslan
We've tried everything, hammers, sticks, canes, nothing works! :-)
Paul McCartney and Wings did quite a good job with this song.
I completely agree!!!
I’m from Ballintoy on the North Irish coast which faces the Mull of Kintyre and the scenery is outstanding. Remember this when we were weans great song.
Song was written by Beatle Paul McCartney in 1977
you know I can listen to many different types of music but, when it comes to bagpipes my heart just goes...
down
Ah moi aussi, rien de tel pour vous tétanisé quels musiques celtiques.
I am Italian, nonetheless I feel shivers down my spine and tears in my eyes when I hear the bagpipes
When I have a bad Hangover backpipes help me a lot 🤙afterwards I'm thinking about going to Scotland 🏴 forever and ever allies pray for the Auld alliance 🇨🇵
No other music reaches so deeply into my soul as that made by the bagpipes.
Me Great Grandfather and Grandmother migrated from Scotland to Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
And that’s were I live his Name was Teddy Robertson he fought in WW1 ended up getting hit with a shrapnel wound in his leg as well as getting hit with chlorine gas. Spent awhile in England at an army hospital I’m 62 he died when I was 10 great memories of both of them. Both of them loved the pipes as do I
One day will cross the pond and see where it all began
I‘m german,a Kraut, but I m getting goosepimples by hearing those pipes I just love them ❤❤❤
It seems, from the internet, that all Germany is growing a Scot's love for the Dudelsack. Liked.
Ich ebenfalls :)

😮❤🎉😂
My grandfather was born in Scotland 🏴 and played the violin for the queen as a very young boy and I was so proud of him and loved him
In 1745 they banned the pipes..calling them instruments of war by the loyalist govt....they were right to be afraid..imagine the feelings bestirred by these...
I marched with my unit and I can attest to this. The pipes just made us walk taller and proud to serve
It’s a myth that bagpipes were ever banned,the playing of them was restricted in the 16th century by the Scots king James 1st,but never banned! The Irish used Bagpipes in battle against the Scots at Falkirk,first time in recorded history they were used in such away!
@@jamesw3017
There are heartbreaking stories of liberation from occupied Europeans that never even heard a bagpipe before.
Imagine the first thing you hear is rifle fire, that tells you allied soldiers are within Rifle range close.
Then you hear music you never heard before and never heard the germans play before.
Now imagine the feeling that causes.
Bagpipes from the back of the squad wasn't just silly sentiment it was as good if not better than a uniform for saying "we're here now were the good guys, your free"
Some survivors would burst into tears at bagpipes till their last day.
And makes the American Scott's stand proud
My wife's favorite pipe tune. Passed away a few years ago, and everyone at the backyard BBQ swung to the pipes. God Bless you my darling Claire
100%English but love Scotland. Put us together and you have it all.❤❤
German bagpipes playing a song about Scotland written by a Liverpool Englishman of Irish descent. Maybe we should stop fighting about our parochial differences and focus on all the shared things we love.
jefferywestbrook Yes, You are sooooo right. Greetings from Germany.
jefferywestbrook Go the CELTS!
jefferywestbrook Wo kann ich mich einschreiben?
Where can I sign up?
jefferywestbrook i agree with you bro from brisbane australia
ice man bro Greetings back to down under.
I love Scotland for keeping there true heritage and just being proud to be from the highlands. Love the bagpipes they get me every time. God bless Scotland
I am an American with a bit of Scotch Irish ancestry ! Bagpipes and drums make me want to kick a tyrants bloody arse !!
@@charlesmerchant5752 You have Scottish ancestry scotch is whisky or pancakes or rolling something in sausage meat and breadcrumbs then deep frying it
I am not being a dickhead I want you to not be embarrassing yourself when you come home to Alba
or their?
Ist wondervull miusic ♥️👍😍
Kochany utwór Kocham Szkocję.
My mum and dad would have loved this. WW2 vet & war bride. Miss you both!!!
The sounds of bagpipes can draw anyone into an experience of peace. I will always love hearing them...
Just love that there are so many pipe bands throughout the Western world. Makes me proud to be a Scot. Great rendition of this stirring tune as well.
Scottish Bagpipers are the best in the World. Greetings from Germany.
@@peterriedl5894 I also like the Irish ones . But the Scottish bagpipes got a certain authenticity that I find really enjoyable
AYE but don't forget that you all Scottish, English, Irish and Welsh people use the word 'guys "and were does that come from? I have always hated that word in the English language so if there is anyone out there who is not in the American way of speaking it will be fecking marvelous, good. Fucking wonderful
I can't understand why you English people have to use the American language only because they have taken over your tv programmes and Cadbury chocolate fabrics.
Why you allow it I will never know
Let England be England and America so but still contact
I am a native American, and this is one of the most beautiful songs and music I've ever heard! One of my most favorites!
As a nothern german I feel like a scot: we speak a dialect that nobody understands, we are rough because of the weather (that nobody else likes) and we drink to much. Love to all scots! And I love bagpipes...
I'm second generation American of Scottish decent. We're all immigrants here. Thank you America. I love and respect my people who did the right thing. God bless Scotland.
The family came from Jura , Scotland in 1739. Immigrants made this nation strong. I hope to some day visit the land of our forefathers.
When the drums come in, sends shivers down my spine
For me, it starts with the opening note of the pipes.
That too...
My love and appreciation to the noble and brave Scottish people. Always ahead. A strong hug from a Spanish legionary.
Never get tired of this song no matter who is playing it.
If Paul McCartney never wrote anything else, this is his shining song 🎵
Denny Lane co wrote it. Paul bought out the publishing rights from Denny after he had financial problems.
Agreed
Paul McCartney as in the Beatles Paul McCartney? Or a different one?
@@iskandartaib The Beatles one
@@iamon3208 VERY interesting. Thanks.
This was played at my brothers funeral about 6 weeks ago our hearts are broken we miss him so much
Sad to hear. My thoughts are with you.
So sorry for your loss
send my love to you...your chinese...i am sure
My Celtic ancestors came to America in 1717, but listening to the pipes stirs something deep in my soul.
Mine also --- being literally "vaguely Scottish on my mither's side," but while I love Irish alcoholic folk songs, there is something granitic in the Scottish that talks to my soul. Take Irish music and add big gray boulders...
the bagpipes can bring you to tears and take on the world before the end of a song. nothing more hauntingly beautiful or inspiring.
No fear comes to mind, proud to be scottish
Yes the bagpipes go into my heart and soul ❤️
Susan Boyle sang this song magnificently!!!!
Very much so
This is what absolute harmony and brilliance is to be able to feel better soon as a 3second 👏 music 🎶 philosophy and spiritual journey along with laws of physics in the teaching's and some beautiful landscaping in the hills!! I will be headed home soon with my children and dog!! lol
Can you just imagine what the Native Americans thought, when they first heard the hauntingly beautiful sounds of this awesome instrument! All I can say is WOW...
THANK YOU Rhine Area pipes and drum corps.Thank you
Paul McCartney and
Denny Laine for this beautiful song...
The sound of the bagpipes brings warmth as well as tears. The bBest musical instrument.
Agree its has a simplicity and history second to none
Otsotso ka Ango
amongst my favourite also because of the fact they combine joy and sadness somehow.... kinda like life
Unless you’re on the battlefield somewhere the pipes strike up and you know There’s a couple of thousand crazy fighting Scotsman Coming over the hill
Paul McCartney is a musical genius. Great melody and performance.
We are all one x and should appreciate and love each other xxxxx Life is too short xxxxx
There is something stirring about the pipes. It's a beautiful sound.
It stirs the souls of our ancestors
Beautiful
This song just says to me that Paul McCartney must have really loved Scotland......and to add to that....these Germans here really knocked it out of the park with an excellent rendition of the tune.
Beautiful music absolutely fantastic thanks
He loves Scotland enough to live there for the past 50 years :)
@Scimmia He spent a few long summers there back in the 70's I've heard...and that is when he wrote the song. Yes, saying he lived there for the past 50 years was a bit much....but he has frequently visited there for about that long.
He loved it so much because he grew his cannabis there for a long time before being caught.
73% of the players are scottish including myself players from minden osnabruck and raf guterslow
Before entering WWII my Dad was a drummer in a bagpipe band. After the war he mostly drank and sang Scottish songs.
I love the bagpipes so much. They are not of this world.
I'm Italian, but I love the sound of bagpipes, it's something that gets inside you ...
Cornamusa ?
Yes. It is called A good Heart
I. M Gurkha..one of my best music ..mull of kintyer...while i was doing my pipe major course pipping school at Edinburgh castle...l still keep listening this beautiful peace of music ....and these pipers friends played brilliantly...God bless you all....Alba.
God bless the Nepalese Gurkhas whose bravery fought in WW1 and WW11.. give me a Kukri .....their fearless.
Canadian born, Scotch by blood, first generation, this melts my heart...
American born, 5th generation of 100% Cape Fear Scot. Kentyre no less.
Super

My great grandmother was a Scottish woman who came to South Africa and married a Boer. I love the Scots, they are a proud nation. Love from Cape Town, South Africa 😍😄
Thirteen years later in 2021, this still brings tears to my eyes when listening 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 GOD BLESS SCOTLAND!! My ancestors home land❤❤❤❤ Someone in America loves you ALL

Da bekommt man richtig Gänsehaut. Wunderbar gespielt von den Jungs. Super
Glory to Great Scotland.Thanks for lifting spirit
Today is my mother's birthday but is in heaven waiting for us I miss her every day I will see you again mom,,just not yet I LOVE YOU MOM
One of the most beautiful musical treats ever! God bless everyone
Beautiful sound that always makes me feel good.
I am half Highland Scottish - Clans Gibson-Buchanan traced back 1000 years. I am proud of my Scottish heritage above all other. My ancestors were driven from the Highlands when Brit King James re-wrote the Bible. "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". Hence, it was open season on all Clan women who were herbalists. Lord William Gibson and his family sailed to Jamestown Colony in 1625, only to find the Narraganset Indians at war with the imperialistic British. We lost a few of the clan, but finally settled in Campbell County, Tennessee. Americans have a strong connection to their Scottish roots!
Yes we do! I am a proud 2nd generation American Scotsman!
Good on ya,
Mr. Sutherland - Alba go braugh!
Hi Mark, the British King you refer to, James, was a Scotsman! The son of Mary Queen of Scots.
Keith, he married a Dutchwoman brought her back over the English channel and ship almost sunk in a storm. He blamed it on Scottish Highland witches.
Because he was a Scotsman...
This is amazing, I'd love to go to Scotland some day. Love the music much respect from new Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Every time I feel down, I listen to the pipes and my Scots blood rises and hence my soul rises. Thank you.
you can't grasp how much I love my scottis heritage! love from Norway my scottish sisters and brothers!
There is nothing more nostalgic than the sound of the bagpipes… a tear rolls down my face…
I love how the pipes raise the hairs on my scalp and bring me to tears.
Robert, l am from Austria and I Iike Scottish music and love this Country too much. It's time for me to go once more again to Scotland.
Mull of Kintyre was written by Paul McCartney - he's English.
As someone of Scottish ancestry, I thank you sir!
Thank you for this beautiful piece of music. I live in Falkirk Central Scotland, but my Dad and his family are from the Mull of Kintyre. Everytime i hear this, it always makes me teary eyed and proud. I remember the sound of the ocean, the smell of the fresh air, the rolling hills that extend into mountains, the complete sense of freedom in a land untainted by the destructive traits of humanity. Part of me longs for the Muill of Kintyre and has done my entire life.
snake my sister and she's husband live in Falkirk
I am from Camelon and lived in Catalonia for 12 Years! - Played in Camelon Pipe Band many years ago! on Snare ! . thought you would like to know that!

My favourite number, get all choked up and cry my eyes out each time I hear it. Long live Clan Davidson.
Thank you Paul McCartney for having composed this splendid tune in 1977.
Love the sound of playing bagpipes.. Its like heaven in my ears. 💖
Loved this song. i heard it the summer before i started playing the pipes in a small South Carolina town that actually had a fantastic pipe band at the High School. Thanks for posting!
I only knew the McCartney's version... This one's great 👏👏👏
What a glorious melody that tears at your heart.
I bought one of the first EPs of The Mull of Kintyre while working at General Motors in Motherwell near Airdrie Scotland circa 1978. This one made me cry even after some 43 years. The German Highlander's beard is awesome.
My Scottish ancestry shows when I hear the pipes in this song. Bloody lovely this is
The red beaded guy is a beast
The you tube miracle, or how someone from the Canary Island, more than 2500 miles away, can be moved by the sound of the proud pipes and drums of Scotland.
The blessings of technology. I am loving working from home this last year- I have found all this wonderful music on CZcams that I can revel in.
One of the many Masterpieces of McCartney!
Yes
I kneel for our fallen, and I salute you may your sacrifice be never forgotten god bless you all
when I first heard this I thought I would cry. So beautiful.
amen
Music unites people magically, especially Celtic Americans whose roots are Scottish. This is simply wonderful.
Yeah, but these are german pipes and drums
I love this music. It makes me relax. The sounds of bagpipes is like a velvet in my ears! (Florianópolis - SC - Brazil).
Sir Paul loves his heritage
as do I
This is an absolutely stunning version xxx Never heard it sooo good x
Really mesmerizing music, rejuvenating and nourishing one with enormous Energy !
one does not simply listen to this and not cry.
Oh was wundervoll das ist aus meiner Kindheit wundervoll ❤❤❤❤😊
I'm drawn to listening the pipes and always, always cry. I don't know why, but it's been that way since I was very young.
I'm back again listening. This time, I brought my Kleenex, because I know what will happen ... always does ... makes me cry. I wish I knew why.
I'm the same way.
It's hard not to tear up, even for us tough guys.
damianop100 amen brother.H.U.A.

Knight192 I already did. My bros. In my platoon
Totally agree

Bag pipes...amazing...I can feel the heritage and breath in the escarpment of the country...brilliant!
outstanding ! Grew up on this song and the pride of my people.....
This song it is so beautiful how I wish could play like these musicians. The bagpipes give a sound so wonderful
I got stranded (camper van breakdown ) in invraray the local garage towed us to the local car park within 30 minutes one of the locals came round to see if we needed water food toilet facilities . We had a walk through the village and the pipebands were practising . Where i live what they practice is antisocial. It was one of the best nights in Scotland . We stopped there a couple of nights beautiful pepole beautiful place . But we've been all over Scotland and never felt more welcome
Love the bagpipes and Scotland 🏴 and love the great 👍 roads and scenery on our 2018 7 day motorcycle tour the NC 500 we will be back .
You never shall forget that
Dennie Laine and Paul McCartney
wrote in the end of the year 1977
that wonderful tune.
mfg. ;-). PGS !
Thang you, Sir Paul Mccarthy, and thanh you beautiful Scotland.
Amazing.. Regal.. Perfect Timing... Beautiful.
This is so bloody beautiful it brings tears to my eyes every-time I play a million thank yous
Тази музика е очарователна и е винаги в сърцето ми !
These are the most Scottish looking Germans who ever lived! When I heard this tune the first time I assumed it was hundreds of years old straight out of the Highlands couldn't believe it was Paul McCartney definitely his best number!
i LOVE THOSE MASSED PIPES. That is so extraordinarily beautiful it's spine tingling. Well done everyone.
I love the sound of the bagpipes, chilling sound..
Scotland forever !
The ginger man is the most Scottish looking man ever! Looks a character from Lord of the rings
I agree!! He looks like the most badass scotsman ever!
+emtmartinez1989 I think that title goes to William Wallace
No one knows what Wallace really looked like.
+Oliver Craner T he ginger ma is probably Irish lol
+david hare Well... island and Scotland have lots of gingers
I can easily see the attraction to the camaraderie, the delight of playing squealing pigs and wearing of the coolest outfits imaginable. Especially noteworthy as a band from Germany playing Scottish music. Wonderfully done, too.
you are wrong bud most of the musicians are made up from british soldiers stationed in germany research befor you make any more stupid comments
@@andrewccochrane8052 Interesting, if true. But, I can find no corroborating info to back up your claim. Also, innocent ignorance is not the same as stupidity, my friend. Have a nice day.
PRECISION! I've never heard such a precise, unified rendition of any tune played on bagpipes.
It makes me want to cry,,I just love this
Thank you for posting such a great video. I can not travel to see these wonderful proformances live. So it means so much to me.
The pipes always give me the shivers.
Love this song, These guys are amazing. You have to be very, very good to stand among these guys.
