Hey, you won the last world war (which in my opinion was way more important than any sporting events, but it also might have been more than 30 years ago). Thanks for removing our nazi government by the way ;) Let's never do war or fascism again.
This song always gets twisted into some arrogance-filled, entitled chant by the worst of the fans. But I've always found it quite lovely in its core sentiments. It's about dusting yourself off when you fail, still loving your team even when they lose, never giving up hope and appreciating the stand out moments. That feeling when a great goal happens and reminiscing about it etc. It's what football's all about. Or should be anyway. Unfortunately football really brings out the worst in some people...
@@hi-ve1cw As a weird American who doesn't care about sports but loves music, comedy, and English people, I think this song is the essence of Englishness.
I found this video when I was in a really dark place, and dodie's soothing yet uplifting cover was perfect for me, even though I'm not english and don't care about football. The first lines and "but I know they can play", and how dodie sings them, were just so personally motivating/gave me hope and courage when I was so depressed and down on myself
It's not sad it's hopeful. Talking about how people typically say that England won't be able to do it but we all still believe and have faith that they can.
Yes yes yes, it's never been a boastful or arrogant song. It's a song of hope and dreams, despite all the past failures we still have hope but unfortunately all the rest of the world hears is Its Coming Home and think we're saying we invented it, it's our game, it belongs here. Unfortunately the rest of the world don't hear the irony of the lyrics.
if you listen to Baddiel and Skinner who wrote it they say themselves it's more about hope and the agony that comes with that hope than football or winning so pretty spot on
I don’t know much about sports but watching football with friends sounds like a load of fun..I hope you’re getting through your quarantine with good vibes :)
@@em3952 This is a painfull overgeneralization. A lot of people watch football with mates without any domestic violence. Like the majority of people who watch football do so without hurting anyone at all.
Italy really did just come through and won the EU football cup and eurovision songcontests. something for the straights and for the gays, we love to see it!
They 100% deserved the win, the British were absolutely awful with the booing and taking off their medals, such disrespect and so unsportsmanlike! Good for Italy!
@@heather_857 if we're talking unsportsmanlike that foul where the Italy captain yanked Saka back by the neck of the shirt should've been an automatic red card and the amount of kicking/ pulling/ shoving/ diving Italy were doing was ridiculous. I really don't blame the England players for looking annoyed and removing their medals when Italy played as dirty as they did, especially in the later part of the first half
This cover has such a different sentiment than the way it is sung by everyday people. It's amazing. The fact that it is 25 years old and is also still the best football song is awesome. We love Dodie
Man, this is critically underviewed. Honestly a beautiful reimagining of this song, esspecially with the post-match backing vocals. Such a reinvention of something that's been taken over by lowlifes. Thanks for this. It's beautiful in such a strange way :)
1:08 - "...that tackle by Moore, and when Lineker scored..." I don't know why but that was such a satisfying line when heard with harmonies. Lovely as always dodie :)
find it comforting u have corona. i might have it and i’m nervous for my result. u make it look fine so i might be fine. i’m typing into the abyss rn but i don’t mind :)
"Tears for heroes dressed in grey..." Something even more melancholy about the 96 re-release. Beautiful opening line, echoes of soldiers. Brave men in the most drab, desaturated colour
I've just recently moved to england, so this has been my first big football event. I've not been in the spirit (because I hate sports) but this made me feel so nostalgic??? as if this has been something throughout my entire life, but in reality it hasn't
Really well played match, intense until the very end. Here in Italy it's just pure chaos down every road of every single city, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it was England the winner, it was an intense battle
LMAOOOO the videos chronicling the rise and fall (but mostly fall) of england in the game while the song plays cheerfully in the background… poetic cinema. rip britain
This cover is so beautiful, and I don’t even have connection to the song cuz I‘m not British. You somehow managed to make this extremely overplayed song (yes, even here in Germany!) sound fresh and interesting, you never cease to amaze me! Depending on how you look at it, it’s either happy and full of hope, or sad with a look back at the disappointing past…
i don't know anything about British football but It has made me realize how many British people i follow on Instagram lol everyone posting on their stories
I know nothing about football and I’m an American (I know, I’m so sorry) so when she said ‘it’s all gonna be over’ I was like… is there an apocalypse I was unaware of 🤷🏽♀️
they mean football as in soccer if you were unaware... and also england and other countries put a lot of emotions in football/soccer which usually ends in bad stuff
This was the number 1 hit when I was born (when England made it to the semis in 96) and now I’m 25 and England made it to the finals so it’s surprised me how “into” the football I’ve got given I’m also not really patriotic. This song has been on loop in the back of my mind for weeks and now there’s a dodie version??? Pass me a box of tissues
At the moment there is so much racism going around because of the penalties England took earlier and it’s honestly disgusting. Can people just grow up, please? I get it, England didn’t win and it’s terrible but to attack an England player just because of the colour of their skin is horrible! Not to mention it is completely irrelevant! I’m sorry but I feel like this needs to be heard and they best way is to tell everyone I possibly can, if you’re still reading then thank you and I send you virtual warm hugs☺️ Please, please spread the word about this❤️
My heart sank when I realised just after the fact that the three guys who missed were all POC. Because I already knew what would happen next. The very fact that that thought even had to cross my mind in the first place when I'm supposed to be enjoying a damn football match just goes to show how messed up the worst of the fans have really made football.
@@hi-ve1cw all three of the guys who missed penalities were poc, so racist england fans are attacking black people and commenting slurs on all their posts it's disgusting
It's actually been a fair bit longer than 30 years now. England's never won a european cup but won the world cup in 1966. And nothing since. So that's 55 years :)
this after the England loss has Christmas songs in a minor key energy
This is exactly what I was thinking!
This is the most accurate thing I've ever read
That "she does not know, it's not coming home" future you cameo was just magical.
not winning is part of our national identity
You being here is my religion
ngl I thought this comment was a glitch in the matrix. Nevertheless i love it

THIS IS SO CUTE THO BUT OH DEAR DODIE
Not me replaying @1:14 - 1:28 over and over until i drift into a peaceful, harmonic, honey-sweet slumber !!
Obsessed with how no one can sing this without sounding proper common
Maybe I should have brought out the Essex
Yup..you’ve just made a 23 year old man cry at quarter to 1 in the morning…
Not old really, barely a man hahah.
@@noahfarr2524 that's what I thought when I first read it, I'm 23 myself so it's probably just an agenda.
The fact England managed to turn football into a jingoistic nightmare is really quite impressive
Its what we do best (/s)
It finally came home.
at least this cover can make us feel better about having lost
…repressed male emotions. How true is that rn
This cover has such a different sentiment than the way it is sung by everyday people.
It's amazing.
The fact that it is 25 years old and is also still the best football song is awesome.
We love Dodie
But this is so gorgeous wtf-

Between this and your cover of Sweet Caroline, I really wish there was a place to download both of them.
IT'S COMING HOME!!!
I don’t love England as an English person is our forever mood.
Haha samee-
I don't dislike it; I don't love it
It's nice when you can see the positives and negatives in something :)
Losing on penalties is practically a national tradition at this point! It's nice to have done it in the final for once
This is such a cathartic cover, exactly what was needed
I paused My Hero to watch this and I couldn’t be happier. And why is she the cutest human?
Dedication
find it comforting u have corona. i might have it and i’m nervous for my result. u make it look fine so i might be fine. i’m typing into the abyss rn but i don’t mind :)
I have corona rn too and yes it's comforting to see dodie in the same state ;) don't worry you'll be ok!

wait why am i crying to this
Tragic turnout lads
i know absolutely nothing about football and i don’t like the way people act about it but the feeling of togetherness is a nice one
Really well played match, intense until the very end. Here in Italy it's just pure chaos down every road of every single city, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it was England the winner, it was an intense battle
can we just talk about how beautiful dodie’s lower voice sounds in the ‘it’s coming home’ part at the end cause WOW
Hahahaaa "I'm not that patriotic, don't ✨ love ✨ england.. shhhhh" - lol same.
this really gave me a new perspective, with the way it was sung and used in the stadiums, I didn't open my mind to the lyrics and the lovely song :)
And just like that this song went from sad to happy it's come home.
Also...this NEEDS to go on Spotify pleaseeeee
I'm sorry for the loss England and congrats to Italy. The dodie version is so nice. My dad introduced me to this anthem this morning.
Wow that was actually perfect
I've listened to this song so much yesterday, just vibing, and a few hours later you upload this video
Back in case it goes well on Sunday haha 🤞🏼
And they lost
Crying in the club listening to this right now. 😢
*55 years (now)
and counting.
me thinking i would never hear this song again for a while after england lost earlier:
dodie: :D

Now I'm happy I stayed up to watch the game because I get to see this :)))!
Possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
I guess it’s coming to Rome instead
IT HAS NOWWWWWW!!!
It's coming home *next year*
OH NO
this is the funniest thing ive heard all summer thank you dodie
in the description "i just love events" .... oof dodie, covid-time must've been tough
hardcore introvert sending you strength~
As an American, I didn’t get the “coming home” references and had to look up the song today. I prefer your cover over the original! :)
It didn’t come home, nice cover tho
It’s beautiful dodie I’m so glad you posted this ✨👏🏻♥️
So THAT'S what the lyric is. That's the first time I've really listened to it. Great Cover.
a great way to end a tournament. love ya Dodie♡
i don't know anything about British football but It has made me realize how many British people i follow on Instagram lol everyone posting on their stories
YES! It has just been the footie for like 3 weeks straight
LITERALLY SAME
As a Welsh person I think maybe you might’ve meant *English* football/people here :)
Really it's the world's version of football. The American/Canadian versions aren't nearly as universal.
@@kohlinoor i should clarify, i dont know anything about any sport
I freaking loooove the end!!! xD
Rip it didnt come home
Dunno why I'm bothered I'm not english lmfao
You literally make everyday better by just uploading💜
i will never get over your VOICE HHHHH-
when i started watching this my dog perked up and listened. i think he likes it 😌💘
Oddly fitting after a loss
playing this jazzin tune on repeat while i make my eggy toast late at night. it compliments it well.
Dodie please consider doing a cover of Love Everybodys gotta live
The melody is so cute

this is the first time i've heard this song and it made me cry when i desperately needed to so.... thanks i guess?
Beautiful
So much pain
Hey mambo, mambo Italiano..
I love it. So much more because I'm Scottish!
Honestly tho same but this English team are actually sound, made me betray the classic desire to want England to lose.
Same here in Wales!
