    I had a black dog, his name was depression


      

    At
    its worst, depression can be a frightening, debilitating condition.
    Millions of people around the world live with depression. Many of these
    individuals and their families are afraid to talk about their struggles,
    and don't know where to turn for help. However, depression is largely
    preventable and treatable. Recognizing depression and seeking help is
    the first and most critical towards recovery.

    In collaboration
    with WHO to mark World Mental Health Day, writer and illustrator Matthew
    Johnstone tells the story of overcoming the "black dog of depression".

    "Scotland Is Her Name", sung by (Jacquie Holland) Albannach


    A beautiful song sung by Jacquie Holland, written by Jamesie Johnson both
    of Albannach. I have put a wee film together round the fabulous words.
    • Albannach, Gaelic for "Scottish" or "Scotsman", is a Scottish band. Their traditional music is heavily percussive, driven by bass drums, bodhráns and a single bagpipe. From the first, eponymous album in 2006, Albannach has promoted a sentiment of Scottish patriotism in songs such as "Uprising," a tribute to famed patriot William Wallace; they have covered songs like "1320" by Scottish folk artist Gordon Menzies of the band Gaberlunzie. Several songs on early albums referred to the Island of Barra, the Outer Hebrides home of Albannach's bagpiper, Donnie MacNeil. Vocal songs that survive in the touring repertoire are sung either a cappella or with minimal accompaniment, emphasizing their lyrics. Examples of these include "Scotland is Her Name" and "Peaceful is the Glen"; the latter commemorates the Massacre of Glencoe, while the former is more directly topical and even political in its implied support for an independent Scotland. With these exceptions, the bulk of the touring repertoire, and of the band's discography, remains instrumental.{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albannach_(band)}

    Scotland the Brave
    Lyrics

    Hark when the night is falling
    Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
    Loudly and proudly calling,
    Down thro' the glen.
    There where the hills are sleeping,
    Now feel the blood a-leaping,
    High as the spirits of the old Highland men.

    Towering in gallant fame,
    Scotland my mountain hame,
    High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
    Land of my high endeavour,
    Land of the shining river,
    Land of my heart for ever,
    Scotland the brave.

    High in the misty Highlands,
    Out by the purple islands,
    Brave are the hearts that beat
    Beneath Scottish skies.
    Wild are the winds to meet you,
    Staunch are the friends that greet you,
    Kind as the love that shines from fair maiden's eyes.

    Towering in gallant fame,
    Scotland my mountain hame,
    High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
    Land of my high endeavour,
    Land of the shining river,
    Land of my heart for ever,
    Scotland the brave.

    Far off in sunlit places,
    Sad are the Scottish faces,
    Yearning to feel the kiss
    Of sweet Scottish rain.
    Where tropic skies are beaming,
    Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
    Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.

    Towering in gallant fame,
    Scotland my mountain hame,
    High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
    Land of my high endeavour,
    Land of the shining river,
    Land of my heart for ever,
    Scotland the brave.

    Should old acquaintance be forgot
    and never brought to mind?
    Should old acquaintance be forgot
    in the days of auld lang syne?

    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
