- 'Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag' is a British World War 1 song, first published in 1915 by Welshman George Powell, and set to music by his brother Felix. The song became immensely popular during the war, boosting many Britons spirits throughout the long war.
Man, this song brings me a lot of nostalgia. One of my really old primary school teachers used to always get the whole class to sing these sort of old war songs whilst he played the guitar, and this was one of his favourites. To this day I can still recite the lyrics off by heart lol. Unfortunately, we don’t see much of that old fashioned stuff here in Australia anymore, which I think is a damn shame, being a loyalist and all.
This took me back too. I was born in England. Whenever my family all got together the old songs like this would get sung, I can still see us all singing. Great memories. Does not get done in Canada either sadly.
yess same in NZ!! In primary school we performed also on stage ..
@Falkriim hi from NZ ..wow yes as a kid we had to dress in old ww1 uniforms and etc and march and sing on stage including long way to tipparery and pack up your troubles I'm your old kit bag 😆😆 ..it's all part of us and ANZAC connection and we are Commonwealth ..and proud 🇬🇧🇳🇿
One hella good song, prove me wrong
For anyone wondering, "Lucifer" waa an incredibly popular brand of match, I believe the first to use self-ignoting phosphorus tips
So what's a "fag"? Some kind of cigarette or british word for a cigarette?
Funny, it turned into a pars pro toto in Dutch for match stick
A really repellent song considering the wasteful carnage of the trenches, where a generation of young men were cannon fodder in that useless war.
Agreed its all because of that one guy from thr black death
If this was a recent song, then sure, I would agree. But this is a song written by the people experiencing it, if they're fine with it then I don't see any reason why I shouldn't!
What was the song you used for your old intro?
It used to be Land of Hope and glory, last line of the first verse, some of those videos have it speed up or lower pitch, but it’s just ‘Thine Empire Shall Be Strong’
Imperial Britannia: complains about terrorists who mostly targeted police and small numbers
Also Imperial Britannia: Condones an empire that killed millions
Honestly I can see alastor loving this song
Could you do a video about this? ua-cam.com/video/prE72_ru5DU/v-deo.htmlsi=vAjhDjNynp8jaV1W This song was written by the same author that made Hey Johnny Cope. This song in contrast to Hey Johnny Cope was ment to be a more neutral and accurate retelling of the Battle of Prestopans. In the comment section of the video you can find the lyrics. Also this song was made in 1746.
I’ll remember it, but suggested songs usually take a bit longer to do, so apologies if it takes a while for me to get to it, I have like 20 songs on my schedule already.
English! Stop confusing anything British for being interchangeable with solely England. British in modern times denotes the land mass of the island only. Historically, it meant The Welsh people.
As a Brit, stop telling me how to identify my own country. Everything English is British, not everything British is English. How is this a song from England, when it was written by a Welshman in northern wales? Since when does British only refer to the isle of Great Britain, and no longer the populace of the United Kingdom of Great BRITAIN and Northern Ireland? This a song from 1915, Scotland and England were both more than unified in their efforts against the central powers, this song was written in wales, published in England, and distributed among everywhere in Britain. The song is British, get over yourself lad.
As a Texan but massive a British patriot, I agree with @Imperial_Britannia
This song was sung again in WWII as well.
probably a bait account @@Imperial_Britannia
@@Imperial_Britanniaye as an Irishman and a Brit I don’t understand why people are like that and yet I’m in a different country let alone a different continent
