what song makes you think of your country,

What song that is not your national anthem makes you think of home for me it would have to be Diggers of the Anzacs song by John Williamsons
what's yours?????????????????????

brothers in arms, Dire Straits.

It's got to be "Jumbo Breakfast Roll" by Pat Short.
Irish members will know exactly what I mean.! It's an Irish tradition that I have embraced with great enthusiasm especially on the way to a dog show!

Lots of songs remind me of my country of birth, not all of them very cheerful The one I associate with my beautiful home town is "Red Sails in the Sunset", which was inspired by Portstewart, County Derry.

The one I associate with Liverpool, in a very nice way, is "Dirty Old Town"

Cant think of any songs that make me think ofthe UK, but there is a song by Crowded House that reminds me of New Zealand (i think it is called Dont Dream Its Over?)

Hi KW,
I take it you are from NZ?

Well, we have an unofficial province anthym now. lol "There's no place like this" Which is for ontario.

One is on youtube

There are three versions, the first is the best I think

"Skip intro"
on the right hand side there's a box that says "there's no place like this" A pop up will come up and you can choose the version you would like to see.

A song with words by the late Hamish Henderson - The Freedom Come A' Ye - which, I hope, may well replace the once-great, now over-exposed Flower of Scotland as our unofficial Anthem (Visions of the tune being blasted out as the Scottish XV marches out at Murrayfield, to kick hell out of the English!)

I'm afraid our national anthem does nothing to stir me at all. However, Land of Hope & Glory reduces me to tears, so that's my choice

"LOHAG" is really very stirring, but it's interesting to note that Edward Elgar (who wrote the music - "Pomp and Circumstance March no.1") hated the version with words by A C Benson.
