Holy crap. It was like listening to the song for the first time again. That was truly majestic. Wow.

By far the most beautiful cover of In A Big Country I have ever heard. Stuart would have loved this.

I cannae speak for Stu but I knew him. I think he'd love it. Well done. For Stu, for Scotland.

For someone who said no one would ever do this song justice except BC...you smashed it!! Stunningly beautiful..

For me this just reinforces how great a lyricist Stuart Adamson was.
Nicely done.... I really enjoyed it.

The opening scene of this video: How remarkable cause that is the exact same scene I always saw in my mind's eye when listening to this song. I spent the Summer of '84 in the Scottish highlands amongst scenes like this and just after purchasing my first ever album as a teenager: The Crossing. Forever afterward, their music, to me, has been songs of these magical landscapes.

[PureHistorical]

I've just deleted everything I just wrote because words don't do this justice. Just listen to it!!! So good....

[marksimpson]

I can’t stop listening to this song, the vocals are the best I’ve heard for years from anyone.

Everything about this song was just done exactly the way it deserved to be done. The beauty you wrapped Stuart's words in left me in tears. Thank you.

[Gothaura]

Bloody beautiful. Bless Stuart. I feel honoured having seen them live, not too long before the unthinkable happened.😭☹

[neilguthrie]

Wow, what a stunning rendition of a longtime favourite song. It gave me goosebumps when it started.

[blackdaisy]

This is just wonderful, like discovering the song all over again.. It has the passion, and brought me to tears. God I miss him.

Beautiful, I could not think of a greater honour than Stuart Adamson to be remembered so brilliantly.
Well Done Thank you

Patti Smith just paid tribute to Stuart. Stay Alive. The way you sing "because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded". Be proud of what you have done here. A precious song of hope to so many.
