Can you share your favourite classic English songs with me? I am looking forward to…

Depends on how you classify "classic English songs" really. I have to admit, I know few if any of the ones you posted. So what genre are you talking about? Have they to be by English artistes, or just written about England? And do you mean British, because by saying English you're excluding Scottish and Welsh songs. What is a classic English song?

In fact, looking at your list, none of the ones bolded are I think English... (see notes)
That's not even in English.
Is that "All my myself" by Eric Carmen? (American)
Thank You for Loving me? Bon Jovi? (American)
Bryan Adams? (Canadian)
How many songs have this title? Who is this one by?
Surely not in English?
Keep On Loving you? Reo? (American)
Enrique Iglesias? (Spanish)
Again, not in English
Swedish I think
The Corrs? (Irish)

Not trying to get at you, but again, huh? You haven't even listed the artists, so what are you trying to classify here? Just a bit mystified... :confused:

Well said TH. This really annoys me.

My favourite English songs are:

- Rose of England
- Jerusalem
- Land of Hope & Glory

& my favourite Welsh song is Hymns and Arias.

You can't beat Land of Hope and Glory (Pomp and Circumstance by Elgar of course). Even as an Irishman, my heart swells when the big runup to the chorus, as it were, winds up. I remember I was playing a classical selection many years ago, and had the speaker at the window. Then Elgar came on. Being in a fiercely Irish nationalist estate, I had to suddenly turn it way down before the rocks started flying at my window! :laughing:

Another great classic English song is "Fantasia on Greensleeves" by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Love that.

These are some of my favourite songs that are in English.







I think that only the first two are considered "classic", but I thought I'd throw Dawson up since he's become one of my favourite lyricists.

*waits for Batty to post a Kesha video.... *

Edit: if we're taking the criteria to mean simply sung in English, then my alltime favourite song ever. Ever!

Engrish?

Maybe she means English language songs.

Maybe. But that's a huge swathe of music there; hardly worth categorising it.

Anyhoo, my question remains, LuckyGirl: what are your criteria for these songs? Also, can you advise who the artists are in your list?

According to Google Translate, "Tamis Ng Unang Halik" is Filipino for "artichoke".

Well you can't get more classically English than that, can you? :rolleyes:

I have,never been to the UK so,I,wouldn't know nor do I have any desire to go there

You wouldn't be let in. They have your picture at Customs. ;)

"Swedish I think"
Right, if that's the one, I have met the guy who wrote it, Christian Walstrom, in person. He is a cool, hangs out with metalheads and world fusion performers and jams quite a lot. Idk much of what he's been doing for the last 13 years, though.

Without mentioning the artists, I don't know what any of these songs are. The titles are mostly generic and could be from anyone.

Pretty much my point. I mean, "I love you"? Really? I wish she'd come back and explain herself. I'm quite intrigued as to what she's trying to get at here.

Um, good for you? :confused:
