    Great song. Can see it being adopted by Hearts supporters and becoming their SOL.

    The song is their personal view of the city and the Hibs bits reflect what Edinburgh means to them so I don't think they could really have left them out.

    It will never hold a candle to Sunshine on Leith but it's got some emotional clout, the chorus in particular.
    Usually the video ideas are up to the director but for the 10 seconds or so of ER you could have 2or3 of muddyfield & tinycastle to show an even balance,doubt it’ll get played down gorgay way though

    They really are garbage, sunshine on Leith excluded.

    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Hearts came to mind when I heard 'They pass, they pass, they pass' in the lyrics.

    Like the song, love the video.

    Can remember watching that excellent documentary about the Proclaimers with David Tennent to realise how many brilliant songs they have had.

    Well done lads brilliant.

    Have to say on first listening I was "meh" but I listened again as I liked how it starts off slow then builds. So I listened again straightaway and thought ok I'm getting this now. I've listened and watched the video half a dozen times and I'm hooked - love it.

    The Proclaimers are not everyone's taste but that's what I love about them. Some people like popular music some like something a little more "off the beaten track" - that said this is neither of these to me it's "The Proclaimers!"

    Went to school in Fife.

    What's the matter with singing about The Fields of Fife?

    That would sell more than 5 copies.

    No. Two guys fi Leith who moved with their parents to Fife and later returned to Edinburgh singing about the streets of Edinburgh.

    Having said all that, not my favourite song from the twins. It may grow on me but don’t think so.

    They could do that as they spent time in Fife. That said they spent time in South England as well. They were born and raised in Edinburgh and consider themselves to be from Edinburgh - end off.
    As for sales "meh" I doubt they write a song with that in mind however it will sell more than 5 copies has done already. As I said before, The Proclaimers are not everyones cup of tea, as not popular music. But thank lord for the Proclaimers.

    Gamer IDs

    Gamertag: 4 PSN ID: 6 Wii Code: 5
    I've listened to it again last night and this morning. You better get used to hearing it whether you like it or not because it's definitely got legs.

    Lots of things about it don't quite work individually but somehow collectively it all adds up to an absolute cracker.

    I sent the link to a mate in New Zealand who was born and bred Edinburgh but moved there 'temporarily' about 25 years ago after his marriage failed. He's not been able to watch it all the way through because he keeps choking up.

    BTW is that Tynie floodlights in the distant background at 1.53? Good if so.

    Edinburgh is not easy to include in a song

    I would guess it might be Meadowbank may be wrong. Agree should have had a bit about Hearts also possibly Murrayfield also.
