I chose this for our wedding entrance song when we got married in Sweden this year. My husband is English and I am a Swede. He had no clue abut the song and we had him in tears! Being a true London boy that is a BIG thing :)
I recently was a pall bearer at my grandads funeral and we carried him to his final resting place to this song. 'Swing low Grandad, it was an honour to carry your chariot sir!'
no body could ever sing this song like ub40 i think all the songs that ub40 sing are out of this world. i love you ub40 you will go on forever starrmaker
it's good for anything that's low and downtrodden. The visual being that of a beautiful swing that comes down really low, so that you can get on, before it swings all the way back up to heaven.
I remember the first time I heard his voice. I was instantly hooked and loved the band then, love the band now. A very unique sounding voice with that reggae style, love 'em. I know they are no longer. All the great bands eventually split up. Such is life. : )
its England rugby theme song because a group of school boys sang it at a England game in the 70's after England scored and everyone joined in. Since then its just become tradition. Seriously chill out since when did sports songs have anything to do with their sports/teams. Its all about tradition. Personally I love nothing more than singing this to my welsh flatmates when we beat them!
YH ENGLAND 4 EVER. n u know y we will win the 6 nations and the world cup in 4 years. cos of PASSION, and the love the supporters have 4 this country. ENGLAND 4 EVER.
On 18th March 1988 a group of students from the Douai team attended They delivered this with particular vigour when wing Chris Oti ran in his first try for England. Inspired by the response amusement of the spectators immediately around them the students struck up with added gusto as Chris Oti scored a second try. By the time the player, now on a roll, scored his try-hat trick the chorus reached such a crescendo that, the whole of the England supporters joined in and an anthem was born.
My mom told me that when she sang this song to me as a baby I would always start crying. When she told me that as a small child, I thought that was silly and couldn't see why I would do that. Then, I got old enough to understand what the lyrics mean. Sweet Jesus. It's about someone dying and going to the afterlife. I cried. Funny how things come full circle like that.
UB40 and Ali Campbell, this music will never ever die! I saw them sing this in 2003 Birmingham, I cried :o)
Sweet version of a classic song! Love UB40!
