Incredible, I was up on the hills today, climbing 2 munros Beinn a'Chaorainn and Beinn Teallach. The previous evening I had been in aviemore listening to BBC Scotland and this song came on. I am familiar with it and gives me goosebumps everytime. Back to the hills, I had this overwhelming urge to play this song, Miraculously I had phone signal and I played this version. I was on the ridge line on top of Beinn a'Chaorainn and I started running along the ridge with incredible views of the summit, it gave me an overwhelming feeling of joy, connected to the mountain, free from the shackles of work and I was completely present in the moment. I had tears running down my cheeks and in that moment I was completely happy and grateful for being able to experience that moment. Thank you Dougie for giving us this masterpiece.

I like how tenderly he guides the bow. Not much upper body jerking, or swaying from left to right... just delicate movements. If you muted the music you‘d never expect so much energy and liveliness in the melody. So much that‘s going on in his mind and soul, such focus and heart. I can see the deer break through the underbrush of trees, Le Long Carabine and Uncas chasing after... I can smell the rich forests of North Carolina and the Smokey Mountains where the final scene of LoM was shot. I can feel the ups and downs of life - inspiration and disappointment side by side. Melancholy and joy like twin brothers.

I've been watching this for years and it will never grow old. When I hear this song, especially this version, it is very special. It takes me on a voyage from my home here in the northeastern US and transports me over the places I traveled. I can recall the times of my past driving through the Adirondack Mountain areas of New York state on my way to Montreal. It makes me think of times hundreds of years ago when that area was a significant part of North American and international history like in The Last of the Mohicans.

Since I came across the cover by Jenny O'Connor and her band Circa Paleo a week or so ago I have been looking for a recording by Dougie Maclean, and also the music score. Jenny O'Connor is a good player and gets all the attention because she is young and pretty but the pathos and raw emotion of the original is just not quite there. Perhaps it is because the American music scene is just very different from the UK. I see wonderful costumes and the audience sitting down on nice clean straw bales but I don't see people visibly moved by one of the most emotional melodies I have ever experienced. Dougie Maclean is one of the greatest composers of our time and not appreciated as much as he should be. Typing with a sore throat and a tear in the corner of my eye - and a dram of whisky by my side.
