I'm listening to this from Odessa (which is now being bombed), Ukraine, at a time when the country is being invaded by Russia. This reminds me of how strong we are, both Britain and Ukraine, and how we will stand steadfast in the face of any merciless bully. God save the Queen and may Ukraine be free soon!
We were once the opressors, but have seen the error or our ways, everything will be ok, Ukraine will win in the end and we'll all stand by you Stay strong Ukraine!
Fellow Daniel here from the UK. Ukraine has the truth on her side and no matter how much Russia tries they cannot and never will erase the truth. I hope we can get you all the support you need; militarily and economically. I see a new era of partnership between the heroic Ukrainian people and the UK and I hope we become great friends moving forward. You literally won't find anyone here who doesn't stand behind Ukraine in this war so we are all with you. Slava Ukraini! Glory to the Heroes, Glory to Ukraine! I forgot to add, I live in a small village and the village shop has the Ukrainian flag flying. So no matter what happens, just know that thousands of miles away your flag is proudly flying where it cannot be touched by brutal Russian bombs.
I took the liberty to translate the lyrics to Ukrainian for you to sing it to instrumental versions of our song: Я присягаю тобі, моя країно, все земне вище. Цілий, цілісний і досконалий, служба моєї любові. Любов, яка не ставить жодних питань, любов, яка витримує випробування. Що лежить на вівтарі, найдорожчий і найкращий! Любов, яка ніколи не зникає, любов, яка платить ціну. Кохання, яке безстрашно приносить останню жертву! А є ще одна країна, про яку я чув давно Найдорожчий для тих, хто її любить, найвеличніший для тих, хто знає Ми можемо не рахувати її війська, ми можемо не бачити її короля. Її фортеця - вірне серце, її гордість - страждання. І душа за душею, і безшумно збільшуються її сяючі межі! І шляхи її - дороги лагідності, і всі стежки її - мирні!
@@WarhammerWings That's a really lovely tribute - thank you so much! My girlfriend has a beautiful voice and I will ask her to sing it while I accompany on the piano.
But my mate made a point to me the other day, I think the day before Elizabethh II died... whats England ever actually done for us as English men other than make the rich rich, the working class work harder to make the rich richer, then asked my grandfathers to go & die in French fields for them.
*In memory of Prince Philip, Your Royal Highness, Duke of Edinburgh, may God comfort the Queen and the United Kingdom, Rest in peace in the memory of your people* *Prince Philip (June 10, 1921 - April 9, 2021)*
Bruno, you have a magnificent way with words. I love the Queen very much and I feel the same for the Prince. The Queen truly loved the man and that is all that matters. They are a remarkable and amazing family!
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test That lays upon the altar, the dearest and the best The love that never falters, the love that pays the price The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice And there's another country, I've heard of long ago Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know We may not count her armies, we may not see her king Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering And soul by soul, and silently her shining bounds increase And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace
This song always makes me cry. I do not know why. Today, maybe I finally understood. An old soul from Great Britain sends his love and peace to you, Her Majesty the Queen. My eternal respect to you. Rest in peace. 💙🤍❤ 🙏🙌✨
@@Luxmans I remember first hearing this most beautiful hymn at Winston Churchill’s funeral. I was quite young, but I remember crying along with my parents. So incredibly moving 🇬🇧🇬🇧
22 years ago, I left that giant red region in the Far East and came to this country as a student. 8 years later, I successfully obtained my citizenship of Britain. This nation is the mother of democracy, liberty, rule of law and industrialisation. I firmly believe that she and her value are worth defending with my life. God Bless the United Kingdom and God Bless us all!
Respect from Portugal. The Treaty of Windsor, that our two nations signed in 1386, is much older than the petty thing called "European Union". Actually, it's the world's oldest recorded alliance between two nations. May the friendship between the Portuguese and the British last forever.
Someone with English blood, I feel bloody proud to be English. I may be born Aussie, but I will always put the UK above Australia. God Save the King! Long live the empire!
What an incredible Queen we had. Served our country tirelessly for over 70 years even when we did not fully appreciate her. An example of humility, consistency and selflessness that has not been seen on these islands for many years. God save the Queen.
This Hymn stirs up within us our great love and joy of Country. As a Canadian I've had the benefit of being one with Britain. I grew up singing God Save The Queen, we love and cherish her so deepy. Queen Elizabeth II always in our hearts. God Bless the Queen and grant her Eternal Rest in Our Lord.
This song makes me cry. Look at how unifying it is. The queen singing with common soldiers, nurses, average working people. Tories singing with labour, black and indian and white, christian and atheist. Anthems are the national pride thats good: we all can be proud of our differences and our country. Music is just amazing
@@TheLFCReaperit does work like that. Skin colour or religion don’t matter. If you wish to be proud, you must behave in a way that makes other Brits proud of you. You aren’t. Behave yourself you racist cretin.
🤔 But you you didn't in the mid 1770's - nor did you in 1812! 🤨 - And it was only a handful, 6,500, that volunteered to come stand (or more accurately fly) & fight along sidewith us in 1940 - & most of them had to do it via Canada because the US didn't condone it. 😕 Happy to get rich, screw us over, with Lend/Lease (& later the Marshall Plan) oh yes! Britain didn't charge the French/Belgians/Dutch/Norwegians/Polish/Czechs etc etc. for our help - & we supplied them all safe refuge when they were in need, despite our own desperate state. 😒 "Special Relationship"? My arse! I'll let 'you' off not helping
Over here in Britain I have never ever once heard anyone making fun of Australia or New Zealand or having a negative opinion. We all have a massive respect for you over here.
As a Russian I always believed that we made the best anthems but this... makes me tear up. Right now I’m feeling the same feelings towards Britain as I only previously felt towards Russia. I can’t explain it. I salute to thee Britannia
ilvi Bos thank you! We do have some of the best nationalistic hymns and music in the world! Mind you you do have some great musical composers in Russia too..music is really the ultimate language of pride in a nation so celebrate your own also
How kind of you to express good wishes. There were a few Russian pieces, especially the Probazhesky March (I misspelled that) that are quite lovely, and give me a sense of being closer to my Russian relations, who were murdered in 1918 in Etekrninburg. Had things been different, one of them would have most likely been my grandmother.
Much love to Russia from far away in Britain. It is a great shame how little understanding our people have of your geopolitics and the blood debt to which all free people of the world owe to yours.
I'm black person born in UK. My parents r from Nigeria.Came here in the late 70's. I'm not even really a fan of choir anthem type music but honestly ? TH-cam should disable the dislike button for this song. The only sad thing about this song is that it ends. A truly amazing song......just WOW
In 2017, I was only 15 years old attending Remembrance with dad and his family. My love for the war dead caught everyone’s attention; the crowd was stunned by my poppy dress I was wearing that day and it continues on at nearly 21. Everyone even said “our amazing girl should be our Queen!” Little did the people know that they predicted 6 years into the future when I finally became Woody.EXE’s Queen consort the day Queen Elizabeth II passed. I’m the youngest Queen since Queen Victoria
This song, the British Empire and british culture as a whole is what makes me proud to be of English/Australian heritage. Let England forever be the Land of Hope and Glory.
I am not even British nor from a member of the commonwealth, but I feel so patriotic British right now. Love to all of Britain and the Commonwealth from a German friend
That's kind of ya mate .I've met Germans and except for your GOVT and the dreaded EU wanting to rule us Brits throughout history most of you are good people ,just they suck Jawohl meine freund!" :)
That's a nice thing to say but, I think it's because our culture's are very aligned. It's a pity that our history has that spell between 1900-1950 where we were enemies as we make very good allies due to our culture's being so similar. Hindsight may be a wonderful thing but, had the wars not have happened the world would be a better place due to the Anglo Saxon links with Britain and Germany.
From an American to my British cousins across the Pond. This, along with JERUSALEM is one of my favorite patriotic songs from your country. Absolutely beautiful and uplifting
As a South African I cannot tell you how beautiful this hymm is! With British blood running through my veins I cant help but be proud of my ancestory and the history i feel apart of. Although i am firmly South African and "African at Heart" God bless England and God Bless South Africa!!!!
My family emigrated from Britain to America over a hundred years ago, but this song brings a tear to the eye and makes me so proud to be one of Britain's sons in America. God Bless the United Kingdom!!!!!
We may no longer have the queen but here in South Africa in our hearts she is ours and always will be. God save the queen from an Afrikaner. my great grandfather proudly volunteered during WW2. Sadly our contribution is lost to history.
Beautiful. Full respect to the British people and the British nation. May God keep your country close to Him always. May we always be allies, and more importantly, may the British and American people always be tied together by an affectionate bond.
Our special bond is unique. It's not just our share history and language. Not is it our cultural similarities in art. It run much deeper. It's our beacon of civil liberties and freedom and our tireless efforts to uphold the oppression and tyranny other in this world face. I am proud to have the United States as a friend and with God willing it's a relationship that will endure a millennia.

Best patriotic song in the world since ever Edit: every time I listen to this masterpiece, I think about a very special young woman. I can't stand changing the words "my country" with her name. You may not know this yet, A., but this will resonate loudly the day I'll bring you to the altar. My service will be make every single day of yours the happiest one man can imagine.

This hymn epitomises her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. God bless her. She will be laid to rest in a few hours time and I just want to say thank you for your service ma'am.
Me and Woody.EXE we’re up for 16 hours this day and we didn’t get any sleep until after the mourning period. That’s a real king and Queen right there staying up full time and showing love to our people. I’m glad Woody.EXE chose his right Queen
From Australia but I'll always have very strong emotional ties and pride for my ancestors coming here from England and Scotland. They werr free settlers who came for adventure and never looked back. Both my great grandfathers fought proudly for Britian their mother country and i will always be grateful of that. I really hope to come over to Britain and be reunited with my heritage. Love from Australia Rule Britannia! Love from
Do it! We love the Aussies and everyone has links and family in oz so I promise you will be welcomed anywhere you go, when I went australia I didn’t meet a single Australian I didn’t like i didn’t want to leave!
As a Dane this song makes me feel deeply attached to Britain, its history and what you guys have been through as a people, all the sorrows, sadness you guys have endured as a nation - It's as if this song captures all emotions I have for Britain. THANK YOU FOR SAVING US IN WW1 and WW2. BRITAIN WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART!!!!
What a nice comment (as there are from many different counties in the comments), very touching as a Brit! To be fair credit should go to every country who helped win the world wars, the Commonwealth, America etc. I love how united Europe is these days (shame about Brexit IMO but hopefully our support for Ukraine has shown we've not turned our back on anything).
@@joebloggs3551 and Germany and great Britain are the two very closely related nations in Europe, Brits and Germans are literally the same nation that live under different flags
@@blocksarefun1 It’s always requested at my Remembrance Sunday service by me. I think my great grandfather would have been proud of me and Woody.EXE doing this today if he was still alive. He would be 105 now
I always request this for Remembrance Sunday because I love it so much. I remember when my sister was selling poppies in 2020’s lockdown and I went down to see her; my friend Lily was singing this and then my entire town was singing it with her. Mummy gave me a entire pack of tissues before we went down. I’m glad to have a caring mother and the day before Remembrance Sunday, Mummy tells me I’ll be fine but I’m always really emotional and exhausted when remembrance week is over
We always sing this during remembrance week. I even requested it for my funeral when I was ill because it was had me remembering those who died in the war. Woody.EXE played this at his first Festival of Remembrance in November 13th 2022 as Wales’s monarch; he’s definitely coming to remembrance again because everyone is really respectful there as they should be; my dad always says it and he’s right
Monsieur Baguette I assume you were being sarcastic or pointing out what you saw as irony, and I was pointing out that both the US and the UK have changed since the Revolution.
This is perhaps the most beautiful chorale I've ever heard. It may have been made famous due to Jupiter, but it's that and so much more. I always choke up listening to it. God bless England, God bless America, God bless everyone!!
Over the centuries, we have fought and despised each other, had wars that would span over decades of time. but we can't forget that we have worked and fought beside each other many times aswell like brothers. I pray to god that we will no longer have any more brother wars in our dear continent that we share. God bless the United Kingdom. Much love from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱❤🇬🇧
My British grandfather sang this with joy, here in America. God bless my cousins across the sea. My children and I will always stand with you, Great Britain!
My friend Lily who is 12 now was singing this at my sisters Poppy Appeal and it got the entire town singing. I was so emotionally proud of my sister, now Princess of Wales; she did this with military college in 2020’s lockdown before she left in 2021. My sister even allowed me to help selling the poppies because she knew I love doing that
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we The torch; be yours to hold it If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. #Remembrance Lest we forget.
Me too. That's why I can't sing certain hymns or choruses. "We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;" is not true because I have seen God with my own eyes when I was praying for His Holy Spirit.
This classic work moves me to tears.The powerful orchestra is the epitome of this song. I belt this melody at Sunday Mass Entrance hymn "O Merciful Redeemer ". This is so beautiful ❤
I´m from Spain and I have to say that England is the country I admire the most. You are able to do something great, that is to sing and feel joinning under a flag and an anthem, no matter your differences because you feel together. That´s awesone that in Spain we have to learn about you.....
It's easy really. You can start by recognizing the fact that Spain is made up of various countries, just as it is perfectly clear that the UK is the FREE union of, at least, four countries.
@@adeusbandeiras Varios paises como cuales? Si España es Castilla, Aragón, Navarra, Andalucía, Galicía. Nos unen la cultura, la sangre, todo, eso es ser español. Si me dices que Cataluña, pues era parte del Reino de Aragón, otra cosa es que te quieras creer la superioridad de los burgueses catalanes y el dinero que les mete el señor George Soros.
Being British is the proudest thing ever for me. For the size of our island compare to other countries and we still ruled over them, that just shows real power. I'm going to be joining the Army in a couple years and defend my country.
Jordon seriously? Is that what you get out of this video? You’re sickening. You should aspire to help others, not try to dwell on your inferiority complex by feeling proud over people captivity and prior ancestry’s achievements
It's probably the music of Gustav Holst (inspired from folk tunes of the Essex village Thaxted). Music does have that power. It's like hacking nationalism into your soul :p That's why it's such a shame when it's used for the national propaganda of any nation. You take something universal and selfishly try to hide it in your little pocket. I guess that's going to be an unpopular opinion though, given that this comment section is filled with people regarding the EU as a communist union and praising Trump as a liberator so... feel free to dislike.
what i love about this song the most is that you can see people from all walks of life black white and chinese sing this song with pride and that is how the world should be one love democracy
As an American, this is a beautiful and emotional song and nothing we have compares to the emotion felt in this song. Much love and respect from your ally across the Atlantic 🇬🇧🇺🇸
As an American I am fascinated by the British empire! I’m proud that our relationship remains strong still despite our differences hundreds of years ago 🇺🇸America must never forget its mom🇬🇧
We have had differences? They were British people, the founding fathers were all of English decent apart from two being Scottish. The British were wrestling with British people for the most part not Americans. The nation being the U.S comes directly from England, so own it all you like, it's part of Americans heritage. Thanks for sharing.
As a Kiwi I will always remain loyal to the mother country. I’m guessing, and hopefully 🤞I am right, as an American although you are independent and have the most fantastic country to be proud of, you too in the corner of your heart have deep down feelings towards what was once your motherland ☺️.
Differences !! heck George was in London within 2 years and due to the Independence we had to stop sending criminals to the colony and had to send them to Australia instead which they were grateful lol
Beautiful!!! So glad to see Dame Vera Lynn! What a great generation of patriots she belonged to! May all those who fought and died for Britain Rest In Peace!!! Thank you- we will never forget you!!!!
I remember singing this hymn in assembly at school and I have always loved it. I just read the words and it invokes courage and valour. But I am dismayed to read some of what has been posted below. Read the hymn again and think. The wars were WORLD wars. My grand-uncle is lying in a grave in Portsmouth having come from Jamaica to fight in WW2. Many others from the 'other country'... 'heard of long ago' laid down their life for the very freedom we now enjoy. Let us be grateful to those who took part no matter where they come from.
I'm a patriotic Monarchist but this should be our National anthem. Jerusalem should be the English anthem as well. I vow to thee is just so incredible a tune.
I sing this in music class (btw I'm german) .... Normaly I hate singing in front of anybody but when my friend with british ancestors startet to sing with me... I can't discribe it... It was just magic how good it sounds even with just 2 people... After that my teacher wanted that I write down the lyric's and then the whole (mostly lazy) class started singing... Thank you Britain for that nice song :D
And thank you to for your beutiful music. Theres just such pride in german traditional music that i cant help but feel patriotic to a country that i dont even belong to. Much respect from the uk! :D Und vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Musik. Es gibt so einen Stolz auf traditionelle deutsche Musik, dass ich nicht helfen kann, aber für ein Land, dem ich nicht einmal angehöre, patriotisch bin. Viel Respekt aus Großbritannien! : D

@@ShivaDaRealG 1st thank you. German isn't my strong suit but im glad you could at least understand it 2nd yes, its really is a shame that alot of people compare old german music to the second world war period when german history and music goes far before that...
I have committed to rediscovering my Christian faith in these dark times. Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV) • “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
God bless all those who laid down their lives for the freedom many of us take for granted today. You are our ancestors and we will never forget. Rest in peace.
Very proud of my ancestry and my country. The belief in my nation is unshakeable. Listening to this empowers me and our people. Like this if you're proud to be British! DONT LET ANYONE TAKE THAT PRIDE AWAY FROM YOU!
Here are some ideas: 1) make this the UK National Anthem. 2) Retain God Save The Queen as a "Royal" Anthem (like Commonwealth realms do) and 3) Make Jerusalem England's national anthem.
Apology for poor English. I found this great song from "Jupiter" by Ayaka Hirahara. I'm not British, Christian and also from a member of the commonwealth. hoever, I like it including British national anthem because I honor the Emperor. Respect from east island country like the UK.
I remember seeing this with my late mum and we both sang along with it with tears in our eyes. Now she's gone and when I sing along with it, there are tears in my eyes for different reasons
Woody.EXE (Toy Story) will be paying tribute to him for his D-Day tribute ceremony on June 6th, 2023. I will pass this onto him ready for Tuesday; I dread the anniversary now
My grandfather was a coward unlike your heroic grandfather who never joined the MILITARY he had bad asthma but thats no excuse but he was a great guy though..
I always requested this for Remembrance Sunday and everyone loves my music choices every year. Since Woody.EXE came into my family, I have still kept my traditions as his Queen and Woody.EXE had a great time at my Remembrance Sunday service last year so he decided to run it on my behalf because Woody.EXE knows how much the war hurts
I am proud to be an American, but I do so love this song! As I’m sure many of you know, the music is an excerpt from Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter”. My favorite piece of classic music, by the way! When Holst was supposed to write music to go with the poem, he was tired and overworked. So he was delighted to find that part of his work “Jupiter” would work just fine with the poem. And that is how “I vow to thee my Country” came to be. It should also be noted that Holst was British.

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above

The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering
And soul by soul, and silently her shining bounds increase
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace

This Hymn stirs up within us our great love and joy of Country. As a Canadian I've had the benefit of being one with Britain. I grew up singing God Save The Queen, we love and cherish her so deepy. Queen Elizabeth II always in our hearts. God Bless the Queen and grant her Eternal Rest in Our Lord.
As an Australian i agree. I also grew up singing God save the Queen every Monday morning at school. It is God save the King now
This song makes me cry. Look at how unifying it is. The queen singing with common soldiers, nurses, average working people. Tories singing with labour, black and indian and white, christian and atheist.
Anthems are the national pride thats good: we all can be proud of our differences and our country.
Music is just amazing
I’ve never seen anything more beautiful
UNITED kingdom everyone has the equal rights of freedoms and chances
That's the very power of music mate! 'The Universal Language' they call it lol! Cheers :)
yeah I've got something in my eyes now
All praise is due to the creator ..GOD ALMIGHTY .
God I love Britain 🇬🇧🇬🇧 May we all be United as one no matter skin colour or religion we are BRITISH🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Doesn’t work like that unfortunately
@@TheLFCReaper one day mate maybe aha
@@TheLFCReaperit does work like that. Skin colour or religion don’t matter. If you wish to be proud, you must behave in a way that makes other Brits proud of you. You aren’t. Behave yourself you racist cretin.

Mass immigration from 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES yeah i really love them especially the PEACEFUL PEOPLE people who spread there LOVE and PEACE the world..
There is a special place in the hearts Americans reserved exclusively for the British. May we stand tall together for a thousand years and more.

🤔 But you you didn't in the mid 1770's - nor did you in 1812! 🤨
- And it was only a handful, 6,500, that volunteered to come stand (or more accurately fly) & fight along sidewith us in 1940 - & most of them had to do it via Canada because the US didn't condone it. 😕 Happy to get rich, screw us over, with Lend/Lease (& later the Marshall Plan) oh yes! Britain didn't charge the French/Belgians/Dutch/Norwegians/Polish/Czechs etc etc. for our help - & we supplied them all safe refuge when they were in need, despite our own desperate state. 😒
"Special Relationship"? My arse!
I'll let 'you' off not helping
That gave me chills. As an Australian, I am proud to be of British ancestry.
Over here in Britain I have never ever once heard anyone making fun of Australia or New Zealand or having a negative opinion. We all have a massive respect for you over here.
yeah yall Australians are crazy and so fearless I respect Australia and its people dearly
Surprising since wasn't it the british who dumped all their prisoners in australia?
WingGoddess yes, but a rather “unclean” birth isn’t getting in the way of the relationship between mother country and child over the years
yeah And thanks for making Rugby League look good and popular.

Welcome back to the fold x
Buddy best wishes - we are not perfect in these Islands but there is no where else I would ever wish to live
go on!! you're welcome
As a Russian I always believed that we made the best anthems but this... makes me tear up. Right now I’m feeling the same feelings towards Britain as I only previously felt towards Russia. I can’t explain it. I salute to thee Britannia
ilvi Bos thank you! We do have some of the best nationalistic hymns and music in the world! Mind you you do have some great musical composers in Russia too..music is really the ultimate language of pride in a nation so celebrate your own also
I feel a bit traitorous saying this but I always felt that the national anthem of the Soviet Union was awesome!
How kind of you to express good wishes. There were a few Russian pieces, especially the Probazhesky March (I misspelled that) that are quite lovely, and give me a sense of being closer to my Russian relations, who were murdered in 1918 in Etekrninburg. Had things been different, one of them would have most likely been my grandmother.
Much love to Russia from far away in Britain. It is a great shame how little understanding our people have of your geopolitics and the blood debt to which all free people of the world owe to yours.
Russian pieces are very good.
I'm black person born in UK. My parents r from Nigeria.Came here in the late 70's. I'm not even really a fan of choir anthem type music but honestly ? TH-cam should disable the dislike button for this song. The only sad thing about this song is that it ends. A truly amazing song......just WOW
So tell the BBC to fuck off.
In 2017, I was only 15 years old attending Remembrance with dad and his family. My love for the war dead caught everyone’s attention; the crowd was stunned by my poppy dress I was wearing that day and it continues on at nearly 21. Everyone even said “our amazing girl should be our Queen!” Little did the people know that they predicted 6 years into the future when I finally became Woody.EXE’s Queen consort the day Queen Elizabeth II passed. I’m the youngest Queen since Queen Victoria

I am not even British nor from a member of the commonwealth, but I feel so patriotic British right now. Love to all of Britain and the Commonwealth from a German friend
The irony is that this hymn is based on music by Gustav Holz, an English composer of German descent!!
Hi! ❤️
That's kind of ya mate .I've met Germans and except for your GOVT and the dreaded EU wanting to rule us Brits throughout history most of you are good people ,just they suck Jawohl meine freund!" :)
That's a nice thing to say but, I think it's because our culture's are very aligned.
It's a pity that our history has that spell between 1900-1950 where we were enemies as we make very good allies due to our culture's being so similar. Hindsight may be a wonderful thing but, had the wars not have happened the world would be a better place due to the Anglo Saxon links with Britain and Germany.
Thank you, Jey :)
Listening from India. ♥️ Gave me chills. God bless Great Britain 🇬🇧

Our special bond is unique. It's not just our share history and language. Not is it our cultural similarities in art. It run much deeper.

I always request this for Remembrance Sunday because I love it so much.

It’s a hugely patriotic song that mentions no country or place. Its lyrics (in the form traditionally sung) are also very beautiful.
My friend Lily who is 12 now was singing this at my sisters Poppy Appeal and it got the entire town singing. I was so emotionally proud of my sister, now Princess of Wales; she did this with military college in 2020’s lockdown before she left in 2021. My sister even allowed me to help selling the poppies because she knew I love doing that

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we
The torch; be yours to hold it
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

It's easy really. You can start by recognizing the fact that Spain is made up of various countries, just as it is perfectly clear that the UK is the FREE union of, at least, four countries.

It's probably the music of Gustav Holst (inspired from folk tunes of the Essex village Thaxted). Music does have that power. It's like hacking nationalism into your soul :p That's why it's such a shame when it's used for the national propaganda of any nation. You take something universal and selfishly try to hide it in your little pocket.
I guess that's going to be an unpopular opinion though, given that this comment section is filled with people regarding the EU as a communist union and praising Trump as a liberator so... feel free to dislike.

When Holst was supposed to write music to go with the poem, he was tired and overworked. So he was delighted to find that part of his work “Jupiter” would work just fine with the poem. And that is how “I vow to thee my Country” came to be. It should also be noted that Holst was British.
