Ye Jacobites by Name 🏴 💯
Modern Scottish folk track opens with atmospheric pads beneath a driving bodhrán rhythm. Bagpipes interweave melodic motifs, creating tension and release. Verses alternate male baritone storyteller and resonant female alto, converging in layered, powerful harmonies for each chorus. Electronic textures subtly accent transitions, fusing tradition with contemporary edge.

Lyrics
I could never understand why the icon of the Scottish flag appears in black — so I decided to fix that injustice and added it to the cover.
Greetings to the proud people of Scotland.
Intro
(Verse 1)
male Scottish baritone with raw emotional tone
Ye Jacobites by name, gie an ear, gie an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, gie an ear.
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fauts I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I maun blame, ye shall hear, ye shall hear.
(Verse 2)
What is right and what is wrang, by the law, by the law?
What is right and what is wrang, by the law?
What is right and what is wrang?
Is it sword that sings the sang,
Or the weak oppressed by thraw, that we draw?
(Verse 3)
What maks heroic strife, far and wide, far and wide?
What maks heroic strife far and wide?
Is it whettin’ assassin’s knife,
Or takin’ a parent’s life,
Wi’ bluid and endless strife, can ye bide?
(Verse 4)
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state,
Then let your schemes alone, in the state.
Adore the risin’ sun,
Let the honest deed be done,
And leave the wrathfu’ run tae their fate, tae their fate.
