Runrig (featuring Julie Fowlis) - Somewhere

- Being the final track on the band’s final studio album The Story 2016, the song naturally took on the mantle of ’swansong’. This version is a re-recording with Bruce Guthro on vocals, duetting with Gaelic singer, Julie Fowlis. It was used as the promo single to accompany The Final Mile and Last Dance series of Farewell Concerts, June - August 2018. Whereas the original version from The Story had an atmospheric production that alluded to the ill-fated Columbia Space Mission of 2003 and the death of astronaut Laurel Clark, (Laurel had used the Runrig song Running To The Light as her daily wake-up call from Mission Control in Houston and her Runrig CD was subsequently found virtually intact amongst the wreckage in a field in Texas) this version is closer to the way the song was originally conceived: as a song of love eternal. The Story album reached No.26 in the UK charts, No.6 in Germany and No.2 in Denmark.
The song first appeared on Runrig’s new compilation album, The Ones That Got Away released in June 2018 and available from:
The official Runrig store: www.runrigshop.... (available in Hardback Book format containing full lyrics and song notes)
Also available in Amazon: www.amazon.co.... - Hudba
Rest in peace, Bruce. Thank you for inspiring us. You will sing with the angels now. 🇨🇦🏴🇨🇦🙏
Yes he will, also one can feel him in the wind ❤️
Runrig has retired and I never actually met Bruce, but his too young loss is still so painful to me.
The last dance finally makes sense
@@TerribleFire That is a beautiful album. I was lucky enough to be at Runrigs last ever concert. We did the last dance with them. 🎼🎶🏴🇨🇦🙏
Runrig = Pure Magic. RIP Bruce.
Thank you Bruce for the music and the memories. Deepest condolences to your family and friends. ❤
So sad news today. Tears running down my face while listening to some of the great music you gave us. RIP, see you up there one day.
RIP Bruce, the angels have a new lead singer tonight 😥
Now you're going home
💔Somewhere in the light ill find you.
I came to Runrig rather late but my passion is as intense as if I had been there from the beginning. I am old school, CDs and have all, even The Band From Rockall" and so often they bring me to tears, sometimes to smile, sometimes to break my heart and sometimes to heal it. Bruce, RIP the music legacy will live forever.
I was not aware of the connection to the loss of the shuttle columba. Just proves how famtastic a bunch of guys Runrig were
Laurel worked at the US Navy base at Holy Loch in Scotland. I used to holiday there in my caravan. Hy loch is also famous in the book/film "the cruel sea" I highly recomend watchin it. It's a book by Nicholas Monserrat and even in those days mental health was being highlighted.. not a new thing. Enjoy.
@@jockmazza The Cruel Sea is indeed a wonderful book and the film is also incredibly good.
This song get's to your heart......possibly one of the best songs ever written
Definately made me cry
Sleep well Bruce, thanks for taking on the mantle and running with it, some of Runrig's best music and best moments were with you, now we know why there is no more.
😥🇨🇦💔🏴
This Should be heard on ALL radio stations!!! Real Music! Real Talent! Absolutely Beautiful!!!
I totally agree. I'm so glad I found this amazing group this past March 17th.
Your right with real music and real talent
Agreed got to be one of my favourite songs tbh and runrig music should be broadcasted all over radio stations music is masterclass better than the rubbish you get all over radio station hand made music is the bestest music of all time 🤩😍😍💞
Unfortunately talent isn't what the mainstream music industry is primarily looking for 😥
Or seen on all TV stations! The video is so right for this work.
Thank you guys for 40 years of putting smiles on people all over the worlds. No matter if you are from Scotland or far across the sea Runrig music will always be around and the fans will always stay fans. Every Runrig song no matter Donnies or Bruces voice makes the heckles stand up on the back of my neck. Passion, proudness and strength. Love these guys This song is fantastic and sad its the end of 'The Final Mile' for them . Hearts Of Olden Glory forever :) :)
RIP Bruce. Thank you for everything. Your loss is huge
You were a legend Bruce. Rest in Peace. The world owes you so much. Fly high with the Angels.
Somewhere this band will be played; always...Runrig, the eternal sound of truly glorious sounds!!!!
18/08/18, the day the Music cried, and thousands did the same. Runrig you will live forever in our hearts, thank you for all the miles we travelled together.
🫶🙏💙.Mir fehlen die Worte.boooah, so viele tolle Momente mit Bruce und Runrig. There must be a place...auch für Dich Bruce da oben irgendwo. Danke und mach es gut. Der liebe Gott hat jetzt wieder einen tollen Sänger und Typen an seiner Seite.Deine Stimme und die Musik bleiben aber irgendwie immer hier....❤❤❤❤

Thank you Runrig for everything 🏴🏴🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🤗🤗
Just a simple thank you Bruce, Rest easy fella.
Bruce what a hero, latest news made me so proud of Bruce and the band, to perform the last dance the way they did, knowing Bruce was ill. I was in tears when the band retired, but now after 45 yrs of being a welsh fan. They have moved me even more. Farewell all.
I lost my daughter aged 29 to cancer I hope I'll see her again the words of this has me in bits but I have to listen runrig were amazing I'm a born and bred scot
The one and only Runrig...more than music
Shine on Bruce ❤
Bruce I send you love in the sky, we can still always not believe that you're gone and we all miss you, you will be forever in our hearts ❤️
R.i p.son, love 💘you, miss you already 😘
Tears. For a life drifting towards it's end. Tears and sadness.
Can't stop crying......... I miss my husband back in Scotland so much. I love you, Runrig!
RIP Bruce....I loved your music❤
Julie has the sweetest voice
Thank you Runrig for 40 years of music from the heart you are so missed
Thinking of Bruce ❤
R.I.P Bruce..... never forgotten....
The story behind this song is astonishing. Treat yourself and seek it out.
Space shuttle columbia?
@@radicalrises7520 That's the one.
Keep on walking, Bruce
Oh what a beautiful video. Tears in my eyes. Thank you RUNRIG for all the years and the good music .
Alba gu brath
tears in my eyes too my friend. I'm scottish...
RIP Bruce ♥️
miss Runrig so much.....
Our mother's sister, aunt Maree Thom of Ballachulish gifted me a CD of this unique Scottish band. Forever grateful and in her debt.
loved them for years. learned the song in gaelic an ubhal as airde and sang it in leicester de montford hall at tbe runrig long distance tour. there were bses from all over europe there such is the love of Runrig.
It was when I heard it on Radio two last week that it finally clicked for me... We southerners have missed out so much of Runrig, haven't heard so many of their tracks before, and now they are retiring...
Your music will live on though, for generations to come.
So glad they have had some air time. I'm from up north but live on the south coast now and happily play Runrig loud from the car ( and everywhere else I can!)
BRILLIANT THE GREATEST GROUP EVER 😀😄
Somewhere
by Runrig
Somewhere on the arc of ages
We are born, we cry
On this spinning orb of wonder
We love, we die
Still the moon and the stars will shine
When we've both had our time
Somewhere in the dark I'll find you
Somewhere in the light, I'll meet you there
Where immortal souls collide
Somewhere out there
Can't bear to leave this path of years
And the joys that it unfolds
Can all this just be ground to dust
Without meaning, resolve, untold
This love is gold, can't let it go
It's for all of time
Somewhere in the dark I'll find you
Somewhere in the light, I'll meet you there
Where immortal souls collide
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there
On the arc of ages
On this orb of wonder
Where the light is growing
Where the sun goes under
rest in peace and thank you for the music bruce
A beautiful video to go with a wonderful new version of a beautiful song, thank you for 45 years of wonderful music Runrig and may you have a long and happy retirement.
indeed "for some of us it's 45, we remember"
Still crying, smiling, singing when I hear you, twenty-seven years after I experienced you in Aalborg Denmark. You make my soul soars.
Still remembering August 18th 2018 like it was yesterday. What a song. What a night. What a band. What a family you made of us all. Our hearts of olden glory will always grow young.
Tapadh leat, boys (and the wonderful Julie) - tapadh leat.
I was there too that night - one of the very best and memorable days of my life. Will remain a precious memory forever. A truly great band, gone but not forgotten!
Sending love to the whole world 🏴🏳️🌈 let's open our hearts everyone
To my grandad:
I love you. I miss you so much. Wish I could hear your snore one last time. I hope I’m still making you proud. Hope you’re having a pint up there and enjoying yourself, having a pint on you tonight. Love you so much 💜
I came upon Runrig quite by accident and have been listening for at least 25 years now. I have most of their albums, which were difficult to find here in Canada. My all-time favourite Runrig songs are In Search of Angels, Life is Hard, Loch Lomond, All Things Must Change, Going Home, and of course, Canada. This song and video was simply beautiful and has been added to my favourites list. Thank you, Runrig, for 45 years of superb music that's been shared all over the world.
i like travellers. coin toss between that and in search of angels for funeral tune. not yet.
Rest in Peace to all victims of the Columbia Shuttle and Bruce 🕊
My mother was a life long Runrig fan, I failed to get her tickets to the Stirling gig but thankfully I got her tickets to see them in England before the band split. Thank you Runrig for all you did for her and all of us descended from the Hebrides. Alba gu brath!
The best band that has ever come out of scotlan
Runrig, Julie Fowlis, Donnie Munro just cannot do anything wrong in my view. Looking forward to seeing them all in Stirling!!
You'll be lucky...
the song that speaks of immortal love.At last I've found it myself.
This Should be a Worldwide hit! Truly Magical!!!!❤❤❤
Rest in love, Bruce. Mar sin leat
Just feeling reflective. I love this song so much; it will be at my funeral. Thanks to you Runrig, over the years you have given me so much pleasure and no I have never seen you live. Just have most of the cd's. From Wales.
Listening for the first time since the last dance. The memory is now etched and yup this gives me even more mixed feelings now.
yep makes me cry..
Have have so many good memories of running. This is another one x
the only problem i have with this version os that the final words of laurel clarke arent put at the end like in rory's orgininal version but the song itself is better in everyway if you forget about that RIP Laurel clarke its sad you had to die for such a masterpeice to come into exsistence but you will always live on in the heart of scotland for being one of the riggies
Thank you Bruce for the Music.
Rest in Peace my Friend
Beautiful song ❤
I took a while getting around to watching this video because I've had particularly shakey emotions of late (to put it vaguely) and this song always hits me like no other- quite frankly, I didn't feel like having my heart utterly slain on the floor. But today, still no better personally, I said "hang it, I love Runrig. I love that song. I'm going to see that new video" My oh my... Just as emotional as ever, but for some reason this new mix is just what I needed to bring that refreshing spark... Somewhere in the light, I'll meet you there.
C Stew quite. Thank you. Listening to this a lot the past few days and it helps with perspective; it's amazingly peaceful...
Music consists not only of notes, but sometimes also of thorns- the famous pen that's mightier then the sword..
Thank you, I hope to find some sort of peace one day... somewhere.
I am in love with Julie Fowlis
Ich finde es von Rory solo gesungen einmalig, liebe seine Stimme. Runrig, ihr seid und bleibt die Größten! Thank you for the Musik.
I'll never get tired of listening to this song
Stunning video and music! Absolutely beautiful!
Runrig forever ...

I am amazed that Runrig seems to be so popular in Germany! German was my favourite subject at school and I often dream of living there some day! Grüsse aus Nordost Schottland! ;D

Thank you Runrig for over 40 years of the best music, IMHO,. Looking forward to Stirling but with a heavy heart.

The human spirit is indestructible with true love that will last forever! Thank you so much for posting this video brings back some lovely memories when l was a lot younger ! Runrig one of the best ever traditional musical group's with the spirit and soul of Scotland at it's heart !
