BbcThe singer Amy Macdonald approaches two decades in the music industry, but admits the disbelief to hear her songs played on the radio will never disappear.
The Scottish musician shared a moment on social networks this week when she broke down after hearing her new song on BBC Radio 2.
The song is what you expected, it’s her first unique outing since 2021, and she told the BBC Scotland Scotland news report to seven Program that his emotions took it by surprise.
“It was totally out of the cuff,” she said. “I knew that the song was played on Radio 2 that morning, so I was always going to listen to – it was the first piece.
“I put it and as soon as it started, I became so overwhelmed.
“It’s strange for me because I have been doing this for 18 years.
“I heard my song play on the radio all over the world, and it always feels normal.”

Amy says she is happy that this is not the case.
“For me, it’s always incredibly exciting and I always receive such a buzz when I heard my songs on the radio-it’s such a large part of what I do,” she added.
The singer, from Bishopriggs, near Glasgow, launched her new album and a European tour with a fashionable pop-up concert in the Glasgow Princes Square shopping center.
She follows in the footsteps of other artists promoting the new music with surprise concerts, but said that she had to be convinced that it was a good idea.
“Everyone seems to do this now – I saw so many videos of Ed Sheeran appearing anywhere and everywhere this week and it’s so cool.
“I thought people like live music, I’m going to go out and play a few songs for them and I hope everyone goes with a smile on their faces.”
Hundreds proved to be on Friday afternoon to see the singer, the best known for the successes of Mr. Rock and Roll and it is life.
And the Live concert reflected the inspiration of the new song and the album.
Amy said: “It started about my love for live music. I had seen a charge of incredible videos of U2 playing the sphere in Las Vegas And thought of which incredible place it is.
“And it made me think of playing live and how nothing can really reproduce this.
“It was essentially a song that started my passion to play and see live music and be in a crowd and be part of this.”
She is looking forward to tours after her last dates were struck by the cocovio pandemic.
“My last album, it was interrupted with the cancellations and the constant rule changes, so we have missed that, so it feels like it was long to come,” she said.
“I am delighted to be back in Glasgow and I have a lot of festivals this summer, then a large series of dates in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, all these European places where I spend so much time.
“But I’m just grateful that I can do something that I like and I am able to go out and see so many people.”
The highest point should be his return to OVO Hydro in Glasgow on December 12.
She said: “I have always stolen the flag for Scotland and Glasgow and I have always felt very loved and I love to play in Scotland – it’s my house.
“We have the best fans in the world.”
