Today's episode is all about discovering "Jerusalem," widely considered the unofficial anthem of England — a song I had genuinely never heard before this video. 😳 As someone obsessed with European history, castles, knights, and everything medieval, this English reaction hit different for me. ⚔️ THE VISUALS From the very first seconds, this video throws you into knights in shining armor, chain mail, princes and princesses, and sweeping shots of English castles and villages that feel frozen in time. As an American discovering Europe, this is exactly the kind of historic imagery I dream about when I picture England — battles, banners, and ancient stone. I couldn't stop talking about how it reminded me of "A Knight's Tale" with Heath Ledger, and how much I now need to add real English castles to my travel list. 🏰 🎼 THE MUSIC "Jerusalem" isn't just a song — it's an experience. The music felt almost angelic to me, more like an opera performance than a typical anthem. I found myself asking on camera whether this is something performed in opera houses, whether it's tied to a specific historical period, and why exactly it holds "unofficial anthem" status when England's official anthem is something else entirely. If you know the real history and meaning behind "Jerusalem," drop it in the comments — I want to understand it fully. 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 MY HONEST REACTION This was one of those reactions where I genuinely felt like I was hearing something ancient and sacred for the first time. The lyrics about "dark satanic mills," bringing "bow of burning gold," and marching until Jerusalem is built "in England's green and pleasant land" hit surprisingly emotional for a song with barely any singing. It's the kind of English culture deep-dive I live for on this channel — learning about the sports, music, and history of Europe one country at a time. If you're from England or the UK, I'd love to know — did I react the way you expected? Is "Jerusalem" something you grew up hearing, at school, at sporting events, or church?
