BG is one of the most important countries on earth, historically and currently, is one of the most beautiful places, and is the house of the greatest bands ever, oh, and is the house of Mr Bean, do i need to say more??
AMERICA is and will always be the greatest country in the entire universe. Simply beyond compare. Land of Hope and Glory? Sure, tell that to Anthony Hopkins and ex-James Bonds like Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan who are now AMERICANS. Tell that to ex-PM Tony Blair who sent his son to an American university. Don't forget Emma Watson who is now studying in an American university.
@Aleancelo There are plenty of Americans at Oxford and Cambridge etc You may be trying to build an empire of your own DICK HEAD but it will NEVER be as GREAT or as large as ours was and yours will go the same way as all Empires do. As for the people you have listed that are now Americans you are welcome to them.Tony Blair is nothing but a self serving murdering traitor who sold his country down the river
@Aleancelo You ignorrant stuck up idiot! what the hell! Before democracy stuffed it all up, we were THE dominant world super power! GREAT Britain was, is and always will be way ahead of America. If Christopher Columbus hadn't stumbled across America then we'd still have been pissing all over you. Also, take a look at the numbers of prominent world figures who went to university at Oxford or Cambridge. one more thing, $14.5 trillion dollar national debt, you're a really smart bunch.. well done!!
@Aleancelo Americunt's a bullshit fat cunt overrated nation so far up it's own arse it thinks it's good.
Sean Connery is Scottish, not American, Scotland can take credit for the modern world, he recognises Scotland first and foremost as his own as he's Scottish because he is born there, same with Pierce Brosnan being Irish because he's native Irish born, he lives in the US but is not actually American and he's proud of it.
Typical fat dumb Yank bastard trying to steal credits from other nations.
@TheFatalInstinct1 You're the dumb one, Asshole! Connery and Brosnan took their oaths of citizenship. That makes them American. When Connery retired from acting, he settled in New York, the greatest city in the world. That makes him a New Yorker, not Scottish. Being a New Yorker, therefore, he's an American. Don't put words into his mouth.
@Aleancelo A typical no nothing Yankee bastard calling me dumb?...Priceless!
Don't dare think you can use the word 'dumb' on a non-Yank when you yourself are unfortunate enough to be a Yank.
A little education time for you typical dumb low life Yank cunts, Citizenship is nothing compared to nationality, nationality is what makes you who you are, it describes your identity in the world as your native land is your land of birth, your country of origin, where you originated.
@Aleancelo , Sean Connery is loyal to his country, Scotland, he recognises his country above all, hence why he's a strong supporter of the SNP and even part funded them last term, he is merely a citizen of America on a temporal career basis, citizenship does not make you a native naturalised American, only birthright would, going to America no one would want to be an American (Yank) just because they stayed there for a time once. Even on his website he describes himself as a Scot, not a Yank.
@Aleancelo No point being a typical dumb Yank credit stealing bastard, just because Yanks are fuck all but intellectually inferior obese redneck fucktards with a serious identity crises, I must say however, it's rare to converse with a Yank who actually is aware he is a Yank and not some typical dumb plastic European Plastic Paddie Plastic person Yankie cunt who tries to pretend to be anything but a Yank Americunt, maybe you can do good for your fellow countrymen and convert your Yank scum.
@Aleancelo Also, Sean Connery said he will return back to his homeland Scotland in future after constitutional circumstances are met, it's his wish to return to Scotland (Caledonia) in time, so he's a current citizen of America, not an actual American - he states this himself.
@Aleancelo Con't, You're now just a bunch of abandoned, unwanted, colonies with an attention seeking deficiency and annoying as fuck accent. No cunt wants the Yanks any where in their country, retarded Yankee Doodle Dandy Doo Plastic Europeans.
America is full of Plastic people trying to disassociate themselves from being Yanks, hence why you all use your great great+ GrandMother/Fathers identity to escape being another dozy Yank cunt.
Grow a back bone yank and stop ripping off other nations.
This nation was the first nation that scripted the freedom and liberty of men in the magna carter, the first nation to hold parliament accountable in by elected government and the first to estabish courts under a rule of law for justice, this song does not just represent empires, wars or triumph, it empodies the very hope and aspiration of the human heart wherever the bird of freedom chirps, men will rise up and say do not yeild do not despair, march straight forward.
@NodeOfServer I guess your from America the land thats racist to everybody who isn't a white christian.
Such a great example and totally different from the UK who accepts any nationality as equal shame the "minority's" want to spread racism rather than stop it.
@bigjimkeno fair enough you kicked us out but do we care? . The answer is no we don't so please lets not start the anti English Anti American patriotic bollocks its not worth it . our countries have the longest standing friendship and alliance in the world don't give British people like myself the chance to dislike Americans and vice versa.Enjoy the song for what it is a beautiful song that inspires strong emotions no matter what country you are from.

Hmmm, this coming from people who wanted to enslave the rest of the world as 'colonies'... OUR National Anthem is about kicking your asses OUT, thank you very much.
This is always sung at Vancouver B.C.'s Remembrance Day ceremony - a flag-waver if there ever was one! Canada's still one of the 'pink bits' on the map!
i think its sad on the last day of term at my school no one knew the words only me. We were ment to sing it and it ended up me singing it at the top of my voice and getting a huge round of applse from every one they had all sat down and i was still standing singing
hello, I'm from Spain, I mean it's a beautiful song hymns , you can be proud of yours nation that has created the largest empire the world, but we also English and Spanish and between semper we discussed a lot, I think now the relations between our countries and are better i m'he glad because I like a lot of the UK. Greetings from Spain;)
@irish89055 The Empire wasn't all bad you know, not a shining beacon of freedom and justice as many try to make out, but certainly not evil. The good far outweighs the bad.
@Boico101 Boico, I realize that. I'm not one of those many kooks on youtube. I love this music and have another version saved.. Having all Irish ancestry means a low grade anger over what was done to the Irish and lack of apologies. The British empire was mostly for the good of the world.
This Song " Land of Hope and Glory" is supposed to be the real Anthem of England ...because Wales has " Land of my Fathers" and Scotland has " Scotland the Brave"......The United Kingdom National Anthem is " God Save the Queen" so why does the England Football Team have " God Save The Queen" instead of their own anthem which is the Official Anthem for England
Today is St. George's Day and I hope that all those from our little Land of Hope and Glory will join me in wishing us the very best in the future: whatever it may hold.
This little island who twice held strong against thought impossible odds and shocked even the great tactical minds with it's pride and unity shall stay so for as long as we live upon these green hills.
Glory Britannia! God save the Queen! Bless this Land of Hope and Glory!
nope i dont think it does, as far as i am aware this is an English Song. Maybe its time we just gave up on the ideal of a UK...cos its never gonna happen!
you are just jealous that America has and had no empire of it's own and I must admit that the British empire fell (just like the romans) because it got too big and we could keep it all for long but our queen still technically rules canada, south africa and Australia. So there we still have an "empire"
I love Britain, but America if it so chose, and it's people had the imperial ethos, could have a colossal empire. It's a testament to the American people that she does not.
@mcotich09 No offence to you or America, but I don't agree that America could build a colossal empire if they wanted to for 3 reasons.
1. Times have changed and that sort of thing is almost impossible to do.
2. The World simply wouldn't allow America to build an Empire.
3. You only have to look at Americas war history (like Vietnam and Korea) to realise America isn't this unstoppable force that some people believe. A large military yes, but quantity doesn't make up for quality... :(
why are the lyrics so short? no wonder the brits want this than god save the queen because it's much easier to memorize.
