National Anthem

Is it OK to have a discussion about how outdated the National Anthem is?

“God” save our gracious “Queen”

Two reasons in the first line why I think it is time for a change.

1) God… really? In 2021??

2) Queen… will the Royal Family even exist when she passes?

Time for a new National Anthem I think.

Something beautiful and stirring maybe? Like the Italian one? Lol

Said in the other thread that other natinal anthems seem to focus on the attributes of the country whilst ours is problem proclaiming feality to an hereditary monarch.

I don't think that you would ever get the UK to remove either of those things.

God or The Queen (or King). Not in a National Anthem, anyway.

An English Anthem, perhaps.

It’s just a song in my mind. Gets wheeled out once in a while. Never sung it never will.

Land of hope and glory would be a good one though.

an anthem about a person rather than the nation and it's people comes across as utterly outmoded by 300 years ... time for a change perhaps

It would be nice to have a slightly more upbeat anthem but agree it will be difficult to remove the monarch from it. Your never going to please everyone regardless of choice. The suggestion of land of hope and glory sounds good to me but doubt it will be accepted by everyone. The Italian anthem sounds great even though I have no idea what they are singing about

south africa did an absolutely fabulous job of creating a new anthem for a modern age when they penned 'Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika'. it's doubtful that the english have anyone skilled enough to match that in fairness.

as much as it pains me to say it the marsiare for the French national anthem is quite stiring building up to a loud crescendo as all good anthems should

"We were for centuries

downtrodden, derided,

because we are not one people,

because we are divided.

Let one flag, one hope

gather us all.

The hour has struck

for us to unite."

(Chorus)

Well Nikky Queen of Scots wouldn't like it lol.

For the English Anthem, I would like:

'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk.

It only has 747 words.

Now that would be a watch on match day.

Naa Land of Hope and Glory reminds me of all those Christmas sets in Boots with products made with a similar name. I'd be singing the song while thinking of heel balm.
