Is this the best performance ever of The Flower of Scotland?
On September 9th, 2011 during the Scotland vs. Czech Republic qualifying match, Amy Macdonald gave a performance of The Flower of Scotland that is widely regarded as her best rendition. It was truly a stirring and memorable experience for all who attended or watched from afar.
Flower of Scotland – Author: Roy Williamson
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O’er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.
The song’s lyrics and melody had an emotional resonance with Scots around the globe, and many consider this version of The Flower of Scotland to be the best they have ever heard. Macdonald’s powerful vocal delivery and passionate performance gave it an added sense of gravitas that will stay with people for years to come. It was a truly special moment for Scottish fans everywhere.
