Songs that remind you of home in the UK?
 

If you were anywhere else in the World, is there a song that would automatically make you think of home in the UK?

I quite like Missing Andy's The Way we're made (Made in England.)

I mentioned Half Man Half Biscuit on another thread.
"All I Want For Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit" and "Bottleneck At Capel Curig" are a bit nostalgic but take me right back to Blighty as soon as I hear them.

It is funny how even the memory of bank holiday bottlenecks at Capel Curig can make me homesick.

For me it is Jerusalem which my wife thinks is odd as i am not even slightly religious and it is a hymm :D I just find it incredibly stirring.

Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks. Not my era musically, but evokes memories nevertheless.

Rolling in the Deep by Adele was going round in my head as we were in the taxi going to the airport last February prior to departing the UK. Couldn't get away from the refrain...'could have had it all'

There was also a song last year which contained the lyrics, 'I'll leave the door on the latch and the kettle on, and it will be like you were never gone' this comforted me in homesick moments.

Yes, that hym does it for me too.:thumbup:
And I'm not religious either.

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see

Hometown Glory - Adele

This song makes me cry nearly every time I hear it. I don't really have a hometown, and I think of England and how I might have had one and I just bawl. Great song- just beautiful.

Me too.

That, plus the beautiful scenery and music in the opening credits of The Vicar of Dibley. My eldest son makes fun of me every time by clapping his hand to his chest and saying, "Oh my God, that's the M40 near High Wycombe!"
