When there was the discussion lately about a new anthem for the English, I would happily get rid of the current overall UK dirge and replace it with this

I played this at work, a colleague walked into the kitchen & asked me "What is this sad shit you are listening to"? And then he was humming the tune all morning!

Watching this clip it's easy to see why although Lani Hall was the lead singer, Karen Philipp is the one that most fans remember.

On a grey January day there's no harm in thinking of May.

And to go with it a disreputable folk song, here performed by Steeleye Span.

And now Dives and Lazarus courtesy of Vaughan Williams. I've linked to this before and said that it makes me mourn for something lost, yet I don't know what it is.

The second one is the version I know, of course  ;)

I once wrote a piece based on the same tune (also known as 'John Barleycorn').

Very sad to hear of Colin Vearncombe's death today following a car accident. This surely was one of the most memorable sounds of the late 1980s.
