It is that time again! Every four years, we all watch with bated breaths, waiting, hoping, and dreaming for our national team to best the odds and lift what can only be described as the most coveted piece of silverware across any sporting event. Perhaps more than anyone else, the English dream has been romanticised, satirised, and scandalised at each event. But, no matter what the noise around it may be, you can be damned sure you’re getting a legion of fans singing their hearts out to each and every anthem they know, all to the prayer that it indeed is coming home.
Paul Menel draws from history on his glorious and uplifting pop rock anthem that has you feeling at the bottom of your heart this very real and true belief in the larger dream. Can the spirit of 66 really be revived on this team? I’m not quite sure, but in my lifetime, there hasn’t been a squad that could come closer. So sing along to this absolutely wonderful and rousing anthem and give that 3 lions song a bit of a rest.
