The Proclaimers - Letter From America download song

i'm an english bastard and i love this song deco the bus conductor does a great version too in the commitments

makes me feel young again and again, what a great band. midnight in Dublin having a proclaiming night. sing on forever boys

Funny how upbeat and catchy the song is despite it being about one of the biggest tragedies in Scottish history

this song completely reminds me of the entire spring-summer 2013, 100%

When this song first arrived on the popular music scene it was quite interesting to hear it sung re: 'a letter from USA' in a Scottish dialect English different from a lot of songs then sung usually in American accent English. The Proclaimers then actually sang this almost acappella or without any backing music, nor instruments -their own voices singing are very talented in their own way.

I'm Robert Louis Palamo from NZ,I'm not Scottish, but my Polynesian Parents named me after one of Scotland's sons and these guys are awesome!!!

These guys are so legends so glad we have them

hey man what a song what a duo Thank you for the Memories

I love Scotland and always have done. Whenever I get to that side of the border the people are really friendly. As an English person may I say thank you to all the Scots just for being you.

Proud to be an Edinburgh man

This song will always have a special place in my heart. My son was born six weeks early and spent his first couple of weeks in the hospital's SCBU and whenever I was there, this was being played on the radio. My son is now a strapping 27-year-old!

I love these guys - they are brilliant

Something very genuine about the guys ,like they aren`t pretending to be anyone they are not great stuff

Was at a "Fairwell" party for a friend who was going to work in America for a year and (after a few drinks) we were all singing this as loud as possible, along with other Scottish ditties. Sure it's freezing, always raining and there's always an oncoming storm, but fuck it, I love this country and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

I've been having this song in repeat for the last 45 minutes. One of the most awesome songs ever.

A song I like to belt out whenever anyone tells me they're going on holiday to America

love this i live in england now so reminds me off home so much cheers boys x
