I wish the singers' voice was brought more to the front. All in all a lovely piece though.

My father was in the Royal Navy. As a child (cough cough, decades ago) my brother and I would be taken down to see my father’s ship sail in. Even now, seeing a ship come in with everyone lined up on deck moves me to tears.

@chrismackett9044 Год назад

I think we all know that the music is by Gustav Holst and was written as part of the Planets Suite. I didn’t know about the words so looked them up. They were originally a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice who was UK ambassador to the USA during the First World War and who was instrumental in persuading Woodrow Wilson to abandon neutrality.

@lynnhamps7052 Год назад

Totally agree with your comments, even as a Brit I'd like to have seen the lyrics on the screen too, hers was not the best voice but still emotive....the secret Santa plan is a wonderful thing to do...bless you 💖💖💖

That was goosebumps and tears. Seeing the sailors coming back to their families, especially small children, had the biggest impact on me. 😭 Being with your own children is a lot to sacrifice. A couple of years ago, my local butcher decided to close earlier, at lunch time on Saturday, because he felt he was missing some of the best time to be with his children. He saw them every day, but he wanted _quality time._ I didn't hear any complaints. I feel lucky that I found you late 2020. You helped keep my spirits up during lockdown. Luckily YT recommended one of your videos when you started on UK reactions. I'm lucky your DNA looks British, otherwise I'd never have got to know you (even the little I have). However, I don't watch you because of your DNA. I subscribed and watch most of your videos because you are a good Human Being, sharing your time with us. We get honest, genuine reactions from a good hearted 'cousin'. I'd very happily meet you in the UK, welcome you, and demonstrate to you my love and respect by singing the only song I associate with you, "F*uck You". 👍 I hope your family gathering was happy and made many good memories for everyone. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones. Best Wishes to You and Your Family. ☮

I don’t know if you do this in the States but theRoyal Navy does a thing called PACAS ( parents and children at sea , it used to be called lads and Dads ) Iv been lucky enough to do it twice , I sailed back from Lisbon Portugal and again from Gibraltar on board a a Royal Navy Frigate My son was coming back from 9 month tours of the Gulf , basically any crew member can invite a family member of the same sex to live as they do and watch what their job involves for the last part of the return trip . Spending a night or 2 with with a ships company in a port on the lash ( getting drunk ) is bonkers My son is in the Fleet Air-arm so he fixed it for the parents of his crew to have a ride in a fully war prepared helicopter, just wow non other words When we sailed back into Portsmouth with the whole crew in their best uniform stood to attention on the side of the ship is very very moving , seeing the family stood on the quayside going bonkers waving flags and the Marines Band playing is something I will never forget

George G the male singer is such a strong, masculine, confident singer (and he's poster boy material too) This version is so atmospheric with the misty foggy background too. Cheers

@Someloke8895 Год назад

Ah yes. Sam Mcindoe, one hell of a voice. She features a lot in the Mountbatten Festival of Music, usually alongside Cpl Kirsty Haines and Cpl Hannah Smither. How she reaches those higher notes without effort always impresses me.

I am English and my Father was in the Royal Marines during WW11 and I love this.

@adrianhughes8143 Год назад

Personally mate as a proud Brit and a British Patriot I loved the performance of our heroic female Royal Marine who sang this patriotic song, she did a fantastic job and we British love everyone who wares the uniform of His Majesty's Armed Forces. I love our military who are the best in the world, the best trained and the best lead. The Royal Marines are just amazing and even the band and their personnel who sing are loved and respected in the UK. The female Royal Marine who sang is better than many professional female singers including those from America. I had relative's in the British Army, the Royal Air Force and in the Royal Navy so I as a British Patriot have a job to stand up for any members of our fantastic, incredible, amazing, loved and respected British Armed Forces. I am one of your British subscribers who respects you and is a fan of yours but I have to stand up for any criticism towards my beloved UK, my fellow countrymen and our Armed Forces. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@TheRealSquirrel Год назад

I wasn’t criticizing the Female Royal Marine I said the person who did the final music mixing brought the band up higher then her. Wasn’t her fault at all. I think I wasn’t clear enough. I could hear how great she did I wanted to hear it more is all

@adrianhughes8143 Год назад

@@TheRealSquirrel I am so sorry for my reply to your reaction as a British Patriot and one who loves our Armed Forces I hope you can understand. You are right and I was in the wrong please forgive me Sir. I am old fashioned I just love my country as you and many Americans love your country. I wish you well and keep up the great work on your reaction video's. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

The melody was also used for the song "world in Union" for the 1991 rugby union world cup.

@theaces3697 Год назад

to me this is our national it is far more appropriate than a song about the monarch and religion, the amount of crap we have to deal with in our country due to two political parties both of which fuck us over in different ways and yet we never falter the love for our country keeps us going

@spacefanatic Год назад

You can watch Luke Evans (an actor) sing this at the Remembrance Day Service at the Albert Hall.

Side Note: The shoulder title "Royal Band" is the successor to the Royal Yacht Band which served on Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia until it was decommissioned. When the Queen travelled abroad on Britannia the band would accompany her and play concerts wherever they went.

@87leeb Год назад

The most beautiful song ever written in my opinion

@cpnlsn88 Год назад

I don't know why but this rendition made me think of the Falklands conflict where of course many did pay the final sacrifice. Still what I love about the hymn is that it never mentions Britain and the second verse is about the higher spiritual realm. So I love the hymn because of how spiritual it is and how inclusive it is - anyone can sing it and think of their own country and the higher calling that unites us all.

@markwolstenholme3354 Год назад

Love this song. There's a good video of Winston Churchill's funeral with this tune. (RU-vid) You are right about the clarity. Others are on youtube at Royal Albert Hall and Westminster Abbey with choir + audience participation.

@123penfold Год назад

I think the best rendition of I vow to thee my country was at The Royal British Legion Festival of Rememberance in 2022 as a tribute to the service of our late HM Queen Elizabeth.

@laughingachilles Год назад

I actually love this more than Jerusalem or even our national anthem. My only criticism is a woman singing it as I don't think their voices have the gravitas required.

@philipr1567 Год назад

I have heard a few excellent renditions by amateur contraltos, although I prefer choral performances. My problem with this renditon is that she sang it almost as a show tune rather than a dignified hymn.

@Badgersj 10 месяцев назад

I wish they'd done the last verse though. "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 an silently her shining bounds increase, and her ways are ways gentleness, and all her paths are peace." But it's good to see what is the third verse here sung, that's often left out of public performances. But the last stanza is the greatest.

'I vow to thee, my country' says it all. Dedicating your life to your country is pure patriotism. I couldn't make all the words out, I had to Google them as the instruments were drowning her voice a little. Who was singing? She has a good voice, although I do wish her voice amplified a little more. I liked it! Do you have more American patriotic songs to react to Squirrel? I would like to hear more.

Just for interest, as you like people joining in, have you heard the people in the Welsh pub singing this? ''Dafydd Iwan turns up at Wales World Cup party in Doha and sings Yma o Hyd'' It's on the Wales Online channel. The guy (Dafydd) wrote the song 40 years ago and now it's an ''overnight success'' when he's nearly 80!!! 'Welsh' and 'voices' just naturally go together. 🙂

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 questions, 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. I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons. 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.
