Ha, I'm not mad on it. Find it a bit of a dirge and not right that's title is the name of another country.
I dont there is anything more rousing or 'English' than Land of Hope and Glory, and can't believe so many don't feel the same.
Spooky. I just had this exact same conversation on a Facebook thread and totally agree with you. Much as I like Jerusalem, it will always feel like a rugby song to me. LOHAG is the dog's bollocks. It should replace God Save the German/Greek Queen/King ad the British national anthem, never mind the English one.
The England cricket team uses Jerusalem as well, so it does have acceptance as an 'English" sporting anthem

As much as it pains me to say it I think Flower of Scotland at its best beats it.

I vow to thee my country. Not political, doesn't speak of war, perfect for today's English multicultural society.
It doesnt obviously mention war Oz Addick as they usually only play the first verse but was written by Cecil Spring Rice, as a memorial to the sacrifice in the Great War after his younger brother Lt Spring Rice was killed just before the Somme whilst serving with the 11th (Lonsdales) Border Regt.
Ok. Thank you, I'll listen to it again with a new perspective now knowing that.
