Jerusalem…. Made to sound outrageously American. Really not nice rendition of what should be such a glorious piece. The organ registration is also appalling… 😬
From a retired English cop, thank you. English heritage is seldom celebrated (even in England, where to do so attracts condemnation for being 'far right', unlike Scotch, Welsh and Irish nationalism). I'd love to see St. George's day parades in New York and across the USA.
When England fought in the Christian crusades the soldiers said they wanted Jerusalem for England the words of this song convey this thats where the st Georges cross flew in Jerusalem what is so sad is what is happening in Jerusalem now,as Jesus himself once said "Oh Jerusalem she so full of mercy"
This is absolutely amazing to hear are friends and true allies across the pond singing this patriotic hymn. God bless America. From a British army veteran (Royal Corps of Transport/ Royal Logistic Corps/ army reserve).
Saw this movie with my father when it first came out. He landed on Utah Beach on D-Day. 4TH Infantry Division.He passed in 2020 at 98 years old. Every time I listen to Paul Ankas song I get teary eyed. God Bless that entire generation!!!!!!!👍🇺🇸🙏
As an Englishman, I've always said this should be our national anthem, but it's not allowed because a certain "chosen" people don't want us to have any attachment to Jerusalem.
I pray the the boobs who now run the U.S.Army, make this the official Army Hymn.Navy and Air Force have one.Makes me tear up every time I hear it.10 year Army Vet.
If you ever get the chance to attend a choir or choral service in an old European cathedral you must seize the opportunity. The stonemasons built them as towering temples. But they also were built to deliver phenomenal sound. I was working on a tv shoot, and was quietly doing some paperwork whilst filming occurred. The UK military band struck up the piece and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I closed my laptop and really listened to the music. It was captivating. 😊
