This version is kinda shit, it's not a song that should be sung by a single singer. It's a big orchestral choir song, the more people that sing it, the better, huge stadiums in fact. Obviously the Proms are full of crackers so avert your eyes to the video but this is a much better example of that song: https://youtu.be/sERiPuOQyvo

Yes this song is also where /r/greenandpleasant gets its name, partially ironic and partially because nobody wants to use "United Kingdom" for a leftist community, particularly when we'd want to replace it. Jerusalem is a song about that, claiming England is kinda naff and we must work tirelessly to improve it.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Absolutely agreed. It's not a single singer arrangement. And if you are going to do a single singer then it should be a drunk Mancunian snarling, slurring, and improvising while he fiddles with his musician's amps.

Double Edit: Bots gone mad. Changed as per instructions with a yewtube link. Deleted anyway apparently. Let's see if a new comment works. This is literally 84
