Thread Name: MacLean 'Ready For The Storm'-Christian?
Subject: RE: MacLean 'Ready For The Storm'-Christian?
Likewise I have a friend who thought "Both Sides The Tweed" was a unionist song. He read it that way! "let friendship and honour unite and flourish on both sides the Tweed" To him the song was about Scotland and England always being united. Didn't seem to grasp the rest of the lyric. So because he saw it that way is it a unionist song? Can a song be both of a unionist and nationalist persuasion because someone perceived it differently?

Again I'm just saying there is a difference between a song being a song that Christian's can associate with and a song that is an actual Christian song! The original question was did Dougie intend this to be a Christian song and the one person on here who is in any position to give an opinion based on knowing Dougie seems to think not.
