Most national anthems are beautiful, but very few manage to combine powerful lyrics with a powerful melody. If there are any other weirdos or crypto-nationalists out there, this is the thread where you post your favourite national anthem...Or your least favoured one. Sport events, vocalists or plain instrumentals. Any versions are welcome. My favs: Italy [video=youtube;AcI2IdHhEHE]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AcI2IdHhEHE[/video] German Empire(same as UK, like this one better though) [video=youtube;cY2Jd7QwbOM]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cY2Jd7QwbOM[/video]
