With Euro 2008 now in full swing, I have listened to some of the uplifting and patriotic anthems of other nations. This, in my opinion, really contrasts with our own morbid composition, which makes me feel....nothing really. Heard our anthem on TV today at the start of the munster final. 50,000 people there. I was left wondering at the end, how many of them were singing? It sounded like a few thousand at most. But the reality is that most people don't even know the words!
I'm not sure how people feel about it but I would be in favour of getting rid of it and having another one composed with a more positive tone and using the English language.
