Runrig - News From Heaven Lyrics

This was my favourite first Runrig track..I still remember purchasing Searchlight in John Menzies in Aviemore 1992. But did not get to see Live them until 1996 and 'In search of tour' with Bruce. It's like an advert for the Mk4 Cortina and way before drones so imagine it cost quite a bit with the helicopter. And how many songs have lyrics about sperm? Thanks for sharing. 👍

I love this song and rory mcdonald is sooooo sexy and got a beautiful voice best band eva

Reminds me of going to see my relatives on the island as a child.

Brilliant song love this band

meanwhile on craggy island

"Father, I've just heard they've taken the roads in"

That's North Uist though lol

By the mountainside, by the ocean blue
Where the struggle broke my heart in two
River of millions flow downstream
A golden highway to the sea of dreams
But now you're here
I feel no fear
I can't believe
The news from heaven
You close your eyes
On a world inside
A spark of life
On a wire from heaven
Morning comes, turn on the light
Deceive the day, delay the night
Ideologies come, ideologies go
A waste of words, and endless flow
But now you're here
I feel no fear
I can't believe
The news from heaven
You close your eyes
On a world inside
A spark of life
On a wire from heaven
In the state of a miracle
State of a miracle.
I watch this miracle unfold
In the state of a miracle
State of a miracle
Far north of the soul
Great people come, take the stage
Famous moments vanish without trace
Trees grow tall, fields grow wheat
Woman grows older, man grows weak
But now you're here
I feel no fear
I can't believe
The news from heaven
You close your eyes
On a world inside
A spark of life
On a wire from heaven

Does; the rain, think or choose where it lands; how much per family or
does the earth turn; just, so to collect just that when & where it does/ land!

Great video and Runrig are still the best band ever. 

wpaulvandyk Agreed :)

What a beautiful young lad! You should see the state of him now, hahahaha ;) xx

Great track and a great video.

Great video mate. Cheers for uploading.

Great! Thank you very much :)

god am i glad to be Scottish...

Favorite album ever. My dad had me listening to this whenever we were driving when i was very young, together with sara brightman and Mark knopfler. Greatest music of my life.

Sorry, that's dire straits dear

Eines meiner absoluten Lieblingssongs, lädt einfach nur zum träumen ein

Lovely! The way Runrig has always written and sung about the local community is one of its greatest strengths imo. That, and the fact that there are few lead singers and musicians around who even come close to Donnie and the boys.

Is this the single version of it?

soooooooooooooo schön !!!!!! danke für das video

awww lovely waiting for baby :) never seen this video before, you've got a real gem there!

Is actually the older lady Mary MacDonald who was Calum and Rory's primary school teacher

@cokekr It was filmed in north uist mate.

Its North Uist

Wonder if thats Loch Maddy Village hall, in the songbook has a photo of from Loch Maddy looking towards Skye and is what the song The Wedding is all about or at least based on.

Not sure where it was filmed .

North Uist
