A very respectful reaction to a thousand years of British history put to music.... nice job NAiA
🙏🙏🙏
It’s my anthem God bless the English 🏴
1600 years plus.
@@Cartamandua England was born in 927 when Aethelstan captured Northumbria to become Rex Anglorum.
It’ll never happen now we’re a ‘multicultural’ country with varying faiths.
As an English person I would love this to be the National Anthem of England 🏴
It can be , there is no official anthem of England ( nor of the United Kingdom ). You can play what you like.
I agree. This is so much more powerful ❤
@@michaelprobert4014 The anthem of the United Kingdom is God Save The King
We had to sing this every assembly, twice a week, for four years. I swore when I left school I would never sing it again. It gives me PTSD just listening to it.
@@oliversherman2414 Yes, but only by tradition, custom and precedent. There is no official anthem of the United Kingdom ( that is to say one designated official by an act of parliament ).
As a proud Englishwoman this always makes me proud of England and brings tears to my eyes ❤🏴🇬🇧
me too buckets of tears so proud,we have a beautifull country
you better be voting for reform!
@@RobinOfTheHoodGB of course!
@@RobinOfTheHoodGB Yep, stop those bleeding boats.
used to me as well until i actually listened to the words properly. from shareen
This makes me so proud to be English, I hate what is happening to our wonderful country nowadays.
Please. If you have nothing good to say say nothing. Young people are doing just fine shaking up all the problems older generations never dealt with.
@@2meroyn Don't make me laugh, the young people of today would NEVER have the courage to go to war to defend our country. At least the previous generations didn't have to put up with the stupidity of pronouns, people not knowing if they're Arthur or Martha, they were able to to a joke and not be afraid of offending someone. Todays generation, is full of woke snowflakes, who like to whine and moan about how bandly done by they are. Grow up and think!!!
@@2meroynIt's not talking about young people hes talking about the illegals and the grapes gangs...And the Muslims getting benefits for the two wives and their 18 kids.......
@@jedworthy useful fools are acting for our enemies.

That’s what HAMAS refers to when the LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 say Queers stand up for Palestine 🇵🇸 😂😂😂😂
Bear in mind, this is about England not the UK
We studied William Blake's power when I was 17. He is asking questions really - did the feet of jesus walk in England? Which a course did not happen. However that does not detract from this wonderful piece which I sing regularly and is amazing.
@christinewilkinson2424 What is your point? The video is titled unofficial anthem of ENGLAND.
It’s in the Title though.
@@janesmith9024 maybe not His feet, but many of the 1st Christians made it to our shores before the Romans, and in the west of our land there were still local greetings born of that time, that I heard as late as the 1980s, about walking in his footsteps. Blake taped into the ancients when he wrote this hymn. It calls all of us, even those who have rejected our current system and live outside of society. We do indeed walk in their footsteps, and we who are born from them, still believe in, and long for the meaning of this song. I have sung it under Stonehenge with travellers and druids, and I have sung it in Westminster Abbey with the nobility, it calls us all! xx
every one of our nations has an ancestral song that is theirs, but calls to all of us. They are the anthems that unite us, as the peoples of this United Kingdom. Even if Westminster is doing all it can to divide us!
I'm Irish, but there is no doubting this is a very beautiful hymn..... it would be a very apt anthem for England.
Amen to that 🏴🤝🇮🇪
It would be a lie.
@@STEPNEYHECKLER-hv3mv good heckle haha ENGLAND!!!!!! my holy land!!!
@@STEPNEYHECKLER-hv3mvwhy would that be.
Half English (well touch of Romanian that side) half welsh I’m jealous you guys get to sing Zombie…. That’s an anthem
Makes me proud to be English long live England 🏴
reform!
My friend. Never, ever be ashamed to be English
The genius of William Blake.
And the wonderful artwork ❤❤❤
Thanks for not pausing during the most stirring of our anthems.
🤜🤛
As a proud English woman I would love Jerusalem to be our national anthem ❤
I think there is too much poop in the rivers and seas of Blighty.
Another proud English woman born and bred in Gods own county of Yorkshire I fully agree.
Im sure the Good Lord is English .😂@@susangarbutt7189

Nah, no one would sing it. It would be silent in the stadiums like it is at the commonwealth games
It’s called history. Pure and simple.

I'm of Irish and Italian heritage I love England and I was born at a time when it was safe enough for me to go to the swimming baths or the parks and the picture house alone sadly that's not the case anymore for children.
🏴
Yorkshire Lass here thinking the same
We are a small nation but one born out of war. We are PROUD of who we are and make no mistake we will never give up our land to ANYONE EVER. We are a warrior nation whos core values run deep and our willingness to defend what is ours is unbreakable.
No go tell that to Parliament, Police and B.B.C.🇬🇧
But people want us to be vilified for being white English.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@markcox7352. Well said Mark 👍
Just look around in town centres full of of every nation, not the country I grew up in. 😢
Englands going to be Muslim in the next 20 years that’s a fact. We’re getting waves of them and they’re outbreeding the British by 3 to 1. I’m afraid Englands fucked and I’m looking to emigrate polands looking good at the min.
I am no expert, but I have been reading up about this for a while now. 'Jerusalem ' was written in 1804 by William Blake, a much respected Poet here in the UK, after he became fascinated by a piece of history he stumbled across. Long before the Romans invaded our shores the people here had, for hundreds of years, traded with the Ancient World - including Rome, the East Mediterranean and Palestine. These Islands were rich in precious and non precious metals. Rome appointed Joseph of Arimathea, a very important and wealthy Jew in Palestine to be their Procurer of Metals. He travelled regularly to these Islands for shipments of all types of metals to supply the Roman Empire. Not only were we known and written about throughout the Ancient World, but they considered us an advanced, educated culture. They also called us the Centre of the Spiritual World.
When Mary's husband died, she and the young Jesus went to live with her uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. It's been recorded that Joseph sometimes brought Jesus with him when he came here to buy metals. Years later, when Jesus was crucified, Joseph of Arimathea claimed the body of Jesus from Pontius Pilate and placed him in Joseph's own burial cave. Days later, when rumours began to circulate that Jesus had risen from the dead, Joseph of Arimathea knew he had to flee. He had guarded and protected Jesus from both his Jewish Community and Rome. Both peoples would be more than furious. He and his Followers fled to a place they knew well - the South-West of England. Given land by the local King, they built a Church out of wattle and daub, which they called 'The Oratory'. It was the first Christian church built above ground in the World.
There are documents that seem to back this up, in the British Museum, in Christ College, Cambridge, in The Vatican, Rome and in various Ancient Greek manuscripts, even by the Romans themselves, by writings in Babylonia and so on. There are physical boundary markers, stones showing the extent of the land given to Joseph of A and his followers by the King. There is mention of this same land in our Doomsday Book, commissioned by another King, William the Conqueror, when he took over after 1066. It describes the land as always being free of tax. Is it conclusive? I don't know yet and maybe I never will, but it's interesting to keep following the trail - especially in this world of computers where we have easier access to information.
Wikipedia triumphs once more! (Sarcasm)😮
@@pathopewell1814 Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour. And your problem with the above writing is ??? State your REASONS for this comment, please.
@@pathopewell1814 well w eknow st george was from palestine, and he is th epatron saint of england, much be some truth in it
St George was born in Cppadocia in Turkey. He was a Christian martyr and was a Roman soldier and was sectenced to death because he wouldn't recant his Christian faith
That is very interesting history, why didn’t we learn it in school or Sunday school?
Although I live in Australia, the church in my hometown in England was founded in 900 AD and this is young by some standards. Britain has so much history.
I am English born and bred, I believe in pre-Christian England. I served Queen and country for 20 years. It is still my homeland. May the Gods bless England.
Being an Expat and nearing life's end this song makes me cry and wish to be back in my homeland.

The song Jerusalem is about the story that Jesus visited England One of the abiding legends of early English Christianity is that Joseph of Arimathea visited the West Country of England with the teenage Jesus. Both Somerset and Cornwall claim to have been visited by Joseph and Jesus.
Anglesey in Wales has a similar tale, of Joseph of Arimethea bringing Mary to Anglesey. There’s a legend that she was buried in Llangristious near Llangefni.
@@ynys_mon6928 It could very well be possible as copper was very rare and found in Cornwall and Wales.

I’m English and I’m so so proud of our land, we have so much history and culture we are only a little country but we ruled the world and as i say we didn’t do a great job with other countries and people but you can’t erase history it’s done. But all Thea’s wars we have fought on our land we have given the people hope and we will fight until the end
God bless England 🏴
Loved your speech I was almost tempted to pull out the decommissioned uniform and take up arms. God bless this land and culture of ours and all who respect it.
We also were the first country to end slavery. We have a lot to be proud of.
reform!
I think we did a good job, in hindsight maybe one or two issues could have been resolved better. But as an English man what i see the world doing is still bat shit crazy.
ths little island has been fighting for 2000 years we are not scared
We should be now but at least this the war is at home no travelling
@markrainton9466 100% but we will win this fight the tide is turning REFORM 🇬🇧
@@kippaxstreeter i do hope so
A combination of Irish/Norman/Saxon/Celtic and Viking blood runs through our veins which makes us up for a fight when the time comes.
@@rumbles Im glad you included the indigenous blood as well but the Germanic Angles should also be included who were here before the Roman invasion. With such a bastardized bloodline is it any wonder we are so patriotic. There must be a reason we were such a prized island yet still remain.
Thank you. Great comment. You have to remember that we have in this island have to have defended it over and over again
And we have to do it once again!....
@@Dave.Thatcher1Yes, it’s coming!
We are a island people that other countries tried toi invade us but we are warriors and will never be back down
Technically England alone isn't an island as it borders Wales and Scotland. But the United Kingdom is an island
@@oliversherman2414No, Britain is an island, U.K. is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Britain and Ireland have a little bit of water between them 😅
@@lordcharfield4529 yeah I meant to say that lol

@@columbus7950 There wasn't an England when the Romans were here. We replaced them my Pictish friend.
Thank you… I am impressed that you as an American even knew we had our own England National Anthem and it’s not God Who Saved the King! I have no idea why we don’t sing it more often especially when Scotland and Wales can sing their own National Anthem.
This is about Jesus coming to England with his uncle Joseph of arimethia who was a metal merchant and as Cornwall produced tin and you can find this in ancient coinsfound in Israel
Which is why the first church in England was built only 30 years after Jesus’ death. The idea that Jesus might have visited the ruins of stone henge like people still do today is fabulous!
@@lisajarvis8937 but it wasn't 'England' at the time - it wouldn't become English until centuries later😬
@@cymro6537 of course it wasn’t called England back then but for the purposes of people understanding where I’m talking about I think it’s justified.
I’m English… I would love this to be our anthem… this is home to me.
I am a proud 5th generation Australian but my ancestors are all British and l am proud of my heritage and l study English history l love to feel conected to my roots .
Lovely comment. You are part of our heritage too. Love from the UK
have you read "On Fatal Shore"? i read it before working in your beautiful land. The things our ancestors went through to give us the lives we live now!
As an english woman this song makes me feel proud. I always get goosebumps when i hear it. Many battles have been fought on our ancient lands. we are still here, thanks to our brave and loyal ancestors. ❤
Its not music, but if you want to see how justified we are about being British, then you will be stunned and amazed to watch 'The Thirteen Hours That Saved Britain'
Englishman here and this is our anthem
From the 1st moment as a Northern English girl I heard this song, I have never understood why this was not our national song!
It is! The other one is the Imperial British Anthem, one verse is even about subduing the Scots.
It’s about a very proud and just land called England. We aren’t perfect but we try to be good & chivalrous. So many English people can identify with this song.
It brings a tear to the eye of this Scot everytime I hear it.
I vow to thee my country is also a wonderful anthem
A much more apt song for an English National Anthem.
A thousand years plus of history. We ain’t done too bad .
A 1000 years of Romans, Saxons, vikings & still living under the French... Nice.
The plus encompasses another 2-3 thousand years of history, all written down and catalogued, with King lists, which is utterly ignored by the established Historians and Archaeologists. Too much has been hidden by those who don't want us to know who we truly are and have promoted their illegitimate claims to rule.
@@ritafehr3124 The French were the last to take the throne, yet they chose very quickly to be English. There can be no better compliment than your oldest adversary choosing your heritage over their own.
Makes me cry every time I hear this. Stupid, but it's so deeply ingrained in the English psyche.
Gives me shivers every time, damn I am proud to be English and always will be. We need to take our country back.
Our land was speaking through the words of Jerusalem.
It needs to be remembered this was Blake’s, vision., but a vision. He was highly critical of the Industrial Revolution, the squalor, and the treatment of the workers, He was a true visionary.
I love this song, but I would remove ‘Genocide Jerusalem’ altogether from the title and text, call it ‘The English National Anthem’ (original and catchy eh? 😅) and devote it to to the real working class heroes who built and maintain this country. The parasitic ruling class can f%ck right off!
Not so. Blake lived all his life in London, apart from a short stay in Petworth in Sussex, so he would never have seen the mill of the North of England. His "Dark Satanic Mills" was his way of referring to the Church of England.
@@billbmousa Really? I must do some research.
I do love that song, made me have tears in my eyes. Sadly England isnt what it used to be.
It is still the mother of the free, we still stand for freedom and against tyranny. We are still the same, our differences are evident but they only exist because we as a nation allow freedom of thought and speech.
Open your mind, expand your vision and you will see how great we truly are, search for all of the great thinkers online, they alll love England and Great Britain.
Lovely England ❤
I'm English and I love this song. Definitely a good contender for England's anthem (note that the United Kingdom does have an anthem but not England). I highly recommend you react to "I vow to thee, my country" which would also make another great English anthem
MY TWO ALL TIME FAVE ENGLISH ANTHEMS, SOD GOD SAVE THE KING .
I am absolutely amazed and happy that unlike others you did not talk over it
Bless you 🙏🙏
My old school song. I'd be happy for this to be the English anthem (at least I already know the words😊)
Our old school song too. Always reminds me of sports days, end of term,summer uniform…
@@lindainparis7349 My school anthem as well , can remember 600-700 teachers and pupils singing this in the school hall - pretty rousing stuff , never really appreciated the meaning of the lyrics at the time but grew to later on. 🇬🇧
@@johnlane5874 ah yes, never knew how the lyrics could apply to our school but loved the tune. Would love to hear it sung by a football match crowd.!!!
It is a hymn about a young Jesus's visit to England with his uncle Joseph of aramethia who was a merchant looking for the tin mined in England
We have had to fight for thousands of years we fought each other and had to fight invaders
lOOKS LIKE BLOODY ISLAM IS NEXT ! 😡
William Blake wrote the poem, as was rightly said, about 1808. He was an extraordinary man, full of great visions. ( He did much art, particularly engravings. ) I wish I knew more, but he is a study in himself. Utterly his own man, he is difficult to pigeonhole. He was certainly not an establishment figure!
He hated the way that at that time great textile mills had sprung up over much of England - particularly the North - in which the workers were treated terribly.
He longs for the country to be better and happier. He makes reference to an ancient - and unlikely - legend, suggesting that Joseph of Arimathaea in Palestine - he was the man who later organised the burial of Jesus - took a young Jesus on business voyages, including to Britain. (Britain was at that time not part of the Roman Empire, but was trading with it.)
Blake was very fond of symbol.
Sir Hubert Parry was a great composer, more establishment, but I think he was Socialist. His music is magnificent; when King Charles III and Queen Camilla entered Westminster Abbey for their Coronation, the music for their Procession was Parry's setting of 'I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go to the house of the Lord'.
If you notice, Blake is not advocating wholesale bloodshed: "I will not cease, from mental fight..."
This video gives some idea of the history of our green land. Yes, there has been fighting - but also peacemaking; bad deeds - and good deeds; people living in misery - and relief of that misery.
William Blake was England's Shaman/Wiseman ❤
There is a very old pub in Nottingham named the Trip to Jerusalem. The name is said to be a reference to the custom of medieval pilgrims and crusaders gathering at the inn before leaving for the Holy Land. Painted onto the side of the inn is a foundation date of 1189., if your eber in Nottingham go have a pint of shandy and sit outside and Nottingham castle it right above you , fantastic pub .The real talking point in the Trip is housed in the Rock Lounge located on the second floor. The Cursed Galleon is fabled not only in Nottingham but in the paranormal community. Legend has it that the wooden model galleon was given as a gift by a sailor who had visited. The ship for many years hung downstairs in the pub and collected ridiculous amounts of dust, literally hanging from floor to ceiling, very odd in a sandstone cave as noted by landlord Karl.
Here in lies the tale…the galleon was cleaned and moved position in the pub, the unfortunate who took on the task reportedly met with his maker not long after. In fact, the last 3 people to have handled the galleon have all met with a mysterious end!
Landlords thereafter have refused to let anyone clean the galleon over the years hence it’s grimy condition and why the model was placed in a glass case by a spiritualist many decades ago.
I live in Nottingham too, a great city with some beautiful architecture. The castle, Wollaton Hall, Newstead Abbey. Plus some lovely villages.
I am another resident since 1983. Nottingham is ok.
And the beers not too shabby either.
This should have been our national anthem always gives me goosebumps when I hear it
I’m English and proud of my nation and its history never beaten the defender of the weak 🏴🏴🏴
At Boarding school we used to sing this in school assembly before they were banned. When you have a stadium or a concert hall full of like minded people singing Jerusalem it will bring you to tears. I’m not allowed to mention the church these days or I’ll get cancelled. God Bless England.
Agree I love my country
In part it is the legend of Joseph of Aremithia coming to England planting his staff in the ground at Glastonbury which then grew into a majestic Yew Tree; and in part because Scripture tells us that the 2nd Coming of Christ will occur in the land of Angles (England).
yes i heard that back in anceint time that is waht we were called, and ironically by a bloody roman!
where does it say in scripture that Jesus will return in England?
We were raided by the Ottoman Empire, the Vikings (I’m actually a Viking descendant), then we have William the conqueror the French,
England has seen many battles. We have fought of the Spanish, Napoleon, the Germans on our little Island and more.
This song always makes my eyes leak. The lyrics, the soaring vocal lines, the drums. It is exquisitely ethereal.
Thank you for looking at this. This was my late Mum's favourite . We sang it at her funeral.
BTW.
That, my friend is the white cliffs of Dover. On the south coast. In world war II. Your American pilots came to Dover to prepare for battle, off these cliffs. Vera Lynn's song , white cliffs of Dover, said it all. A nod to our american cousins (blue birds). Worth checking out.
Same here, and her mum's before her, the anthem of the Women's Institute, it always brings tears to my eyes.
Heart pumping, tears flowing, proud to be english,
As an Englishman play this, rule britannia and land of hope and glory and i start to think about rebuilding the empire
Fin fact in America Land of Hope and Glory is played at every Graduation ceremony and the Americans have no idea what it is. They just call it the graduation song 😅
And did those feet in ancient time
walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
among those dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant Land.
I am a Scot who is very proudly British, my first year at high school was in Lincolnshire in the late 70s, we sang this twice each week in school assemblies; it still brings a lump to my throat, beautiful.
Really enjoying your personal analysis of England's powerhouse anthems. Bless your heart for the respect you place on these old gems. You are listening to 1,000 years of the history of blood, sweat & tears from invasion after invasion from northern, eastern & southern europe. Warfare has left grit in the DNA of this small island. As the old saying goes, "freedom is never free". You have to fight to get it, then fight like hell to keep it. The story remains the same all around the globe 1,000 years down the line.
Leicester lad born and bred truly moving song 100% should be our national anthem
Lived in Dane Hills. Used to walk down the hill into the city. Agree the Anthem that never was. Although I now call Canada home, and call the true north strong and free, there is a piece of me forever in Leicester.
I was often asked when overseas, “how do you cope with the British weather” I always answered “it’s what makes us British” proud Englishmen and women, resilient against adversity. Never more than now, 2024!
This gives shivers when I hear Jerusalem COE
did you know the music to your graduation ceremonys is Land of hope and glory ( british) and the music to your national anthem is sang to the tune of an english drinking song , x

Thank you for being so respectful
What a stunning interpretation
For a small island we are a mighty collection of countries, we have fought amongst us, but if we are attacked, we come together as a mighty force.
Try looking up the last night of the prom's version of Jerusalem
This why we are a proud country. Thank you for playing this. I also love Land of Hope and Glory. Both beautiful. Bless you
“If the land could speak, …what stories would they tell us” love this!👏🏻
Now imagine studying British History in school😮😮 only 2 thousand years of 'known history' to cover😮😂❤
My teachers certainly tried - starting in primary school. I am still fascinated by it decades later and haven't yet scratched the surface. Still people have walked our Islands for a million years, according to archaeological findings (so far), so I won't knock myself out if I don't manage to get to the finishing line. Instead I'll just enjoy the journey.
And 5000 years of world history when I was at school. Have spent the last 50 years reading to make it all come together, not there yet but now in the medieval!
You should go and watch the last night of the proms
At the royal Albert Hall singing Jerusalem and land of hope and glory
This IS my national anthem. We used to sing this in school assembly. 'Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand'. Those words always stand out to me. English and proud older woman here.
Thank you for your respect 👍
Glad you enjoyed this! I recommend Nimrod from Elgar’s Enigma Variations next…you’ll love it!❤
England is the garden of Eden,we are the real holy land. God is an Englishman
An American tourist comes to England to visit. He tours around the major cities and, being a great lover of cathedrals and churches, he visits many - starting in St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
Whilst in there he is admiring the great architecture and amazing fittings when he notices a golden telephone behind the alter! He asks some-one what the golden phone is...and gets the answer "thats a direct line to God! But it costs 50 million British pounds to use it !"
Amazed, he snaps some photos, and moves on for his next visit.
In Lincoln Cathedral he is again loooking around at the majesty of the interior, when he sees another golden telephone behind the alter. Again, he asks someone what it is...."a direct line to God mate! But its 50 million British Pounds to use it!"
Again, amazed, he snaps some photos, and moves on for his next visit.
He visits great cathedrals and churches the length and breadth of Britain - Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol etc etc....and all have these golden phones behind the alter - £50million pounds a call.
Finally he arrives in Yorkshire and calls in Sheffield Cathedral. He is taking photos and taking it all in when he notices that there is a sign next to the golden phone which reads, "All calls 10pence".
Aghast, he asks the Vicar about it, "I have seen these golden phones in all the places I have visited, but they are £50million to call God...how come this one has that sign on it?"
The Vicar replies "This is Yorkshire my friend...its a local call from here!"
And he lives in Yorkshire 😊

We still find medieval swords to this day!
Thats insane!!!
Proud Yorkshireman born in Sheffield the Steel City 58 years ago, fought for Queen and Country and do so again for King and Country. England is covered in the blood of our ancestors and our enemies alike, and that same blood of our ancestors also runs through the veins of every proud Englishman. Our island may be small but we'll fight to the very last to protect our Jerusalem.
Over a thousand years we have fought to protect our nation and still today we will defend our nation …
I'm getting old... I have two songs, for me funeral, when it happens... the first one I told my children is... "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and this, is the second one! UK? RIP!
I could see you enjoyed seeing the mass singing at the Proms, so why not go onto YT and type in 'Proms - Jerusalem' - you will hear the 6000 people there singing it all in unison. It is quite something to hear
God save the queen uk anthem Scotland irland Wales all got their own England NOT ALLOWED our own this IS OUR#
Most national anthems are pompous and vainglorious but this poem conveys pride without arrogance. Parry's anthemic harmony makes the song very stirring. There are other orchestral arrangements that do the harmonies more justice.
I think it is to bring England to God. As a Christian nation, to stand up for what is right.
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Proud to be English and would love this to be our official anthem. 🏴🏴🏴
We sang this at my Dads funeral, I cried then and still cry now as I hear it again.
Thankyou for such a thoughtful reaction.
Peace.
This beautiful song really should be our national anthem. This is sung in the Royal Albert Hall in London on the Last Night of The Proms. Listen to a video of it. It will bring you to tears
An Englander should burst with pride over what that small island achieved.
Always gives me goosebumps proud 🏴🇬🇧
That is not what goes through my mind, Jerusalem was the anthem for the Women's Institute for many, many, years. It was my mum's favourite song and was sung at her funeral. and was her mum's favourite before her, she was a farmer's wife and a member of the Women's Institute. I never met my grandmother, she died before I was born. but listening to it makes me cry, I'm from the north of England, working class, we were surrounded by those dark satanic mills, and beautiful rolling green pastures, they are part of us, just as we are part of them. Gritty northerners, good humour, common sense, hard working, tough, with bluntness, a moral compass and a warm heart. So much of what is most important in life has been, and is being lost.
Born in Yorkshire England, God's country...
Like my paternal grandfather.
Blake's poem was written during the Industrial Revolution when the English landscape was rapidly altered and folk were migrating from the rural pastures to labour in factories. It is a nostalgic and metaphorical battle (not literal) for a lost way of life.
There is a legend that Jesus (The Lamb of GOD) was brought to England when he was about 9 years old, by Joseph Of Aramathia to meet with the Druids, who were concentrated in Cornwall, Devon & Wales. When the Romans invaded about 20 years later they drove ALL the Druids onto Anglesey; an Island off of the N.E. Coast of Wales; were they slaughtered all of them. William Blake wrote Jersulem in the 18th Century based on this account. The background images of this video portray many of the Kings & leaders of England including such events as signing The Magna Carta & our folk heroes such as Robin Hood (The Earl of Loxley). England has over 2000 years of written history and at least another 8000 years of archeological history on top of that.
As an Englishman my blood and DNA is mixed with the soil of Englands green and pleasant lands of thousands of years of hard craft, battles, and lives before mine.
Sadly many other English take this for granted
"...how many wars, how many battles ....." The last home match was the Battle of Sedgemoor, which took place on July 6, 1685, trophy lifted by the royalist troops led by Lord Feversham and Colonel Kirke...after that we went on a world tour.
Love the world tour bit only someone a born in England could come out with dark humor like that! something else we have a talent for
The lines of this hymn I have always enjoyed were “I shall not cease the mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, until we have builder here Jerusalem in England’s green and pleasant land”. I also like the open Drake’s Drum. In both pieces of literature, the unmissable determination of our Island home cannot be misunderstood. We will defend it, no matter the cost - Sir Winston Churchill.
As an Englishman this does give me chills.......❤
Seems like you could write a patriotic song yourself for us with all your talk at the end of 'If these lands could speak what stories could they tell us....... towns of glory.... if these waters could speak....etc'.
😂
When sung well by the crowd at a match the raw emotional power is overwhelming. Thank you NAIA. UKUK
