These are meant to be my crazy Saturday Summer Tunes to celebrate the sun and today, the whole of Scotland seems to be under a cloud of rain. Still that's a Scottish Summer for you and hopefully won't dampen our spirits for the Deacon Blue Gig tonight at Edinburgh Castle.
Released in March 1987, Dignity was Deacon Blue's first song they released as a single. Although it didn't chart, it is fair to say that this tune has gone on to be an anthem that I've heard chanted at many a celebrations. It was even played at the closing cermony at Glasgow's Commonwealth Games in 2014.
There is too much to say to why this is an epic tune and what it means to me so I'll just let you listen and enjoy your own memories. For me, I am going to pray that the weather starts to improve - or we all might be singing the blues in a Raintown!
