Hey, you won the last world war (which in my opinion was way more important than any sporting events, but it also might have been more than 30 years ago). Thanks for removing our nazi government by the way ;) Let's never do war or fascism again.

Yes yes yes, it's never been a boastful or arrogant song. It's a song of hope and dreams, despite all the past failures we still have hope but unfortunately all the rest of the world hears is Its Coming Home and think we're saying we invented it, it's our game, it belongs here. Unfortunately the rest of the world don't hear the irony of the lyrics.

This song always gets twisted into some arrogance-filled, entitled chant by the worst of the fans. But I've always found it quite lovely in its core sentiments. It's about dusting yourself off when you fail, still loving your team even when they lose, never giving up hope and appreciating the stand out moments. That feeling when a great goal happens and reminiscing about it etc. It's what football's all about. Or should be anyway. Unfortunately football really brings out the worst in some people...

Exactly. People often forget that the song is a joke, it was written by comedians and has a very ironic edge to it. Its like, we know we're shit and haven't won in forever but we still love our team and the game despite everything. Its about hopeless optimism and rooting for the underdog. I hate how its been turned into this egocentric thing it wasn't supposed to be

I found this video when I was in a really dark place, and dodie's soothing yet uplifting cover was perfect for me, even though I'm not english and don't care about football. The first lines and "but I know they can play", and how dodie sings them, were just so personally motivating/gave me hope and courage when I was so depressed and down on myself

backup vocals dodie looks like she’d drag me into a bog on the blood moon and I’m here for it

This is the only version of “it’s coming home” I will EVER accept

It doesn't matter that they didn't win though, it was a good game, and this cover is lovely!

if you listen to Baddiel and Skinner who wrote it they say themselves it's more about hope and the agony that comes with that hope than football or winning so pretty spot on

we never said it *when* it was coming home. How far we got, still an achievement.

This cover has such a different sentiment than the way it is sung by everyday people. It's amazing. The fact that it is 25 years old and is also still the best football song is awesome. We love Dodie

Between this and your cover of Sweet Caroline, I really wish there was a place to download both of them.

Man, this is critically underviewed. Honestly a beautiful reimagining of this song, esspecially with the post-match backing vocals. Such a reinvention of something that's been taken over by lowlifes. Thanks for this. It's beautiful in such a strange way :)

But this is so gorgeous wtf-

1:08 - "...that tackle by Moore, and when Lineker scored..." I don't know why but that was such a satisfying line when heard with harmonies. Lovely as always dodie :)

This is such a cathartic cover, exactly what was needed

Tragic turnout lads

Losing on penalties is practically a national tradition at this point! It's nice to have done it in the final for once

wait why am i crying to this

Hahahaaa "I'm not that patriotic, don't ✨ love ✨ england.. shhhhh" - lol same.

It’s beautiful dodie I’m so glad you posted this ✨👏🏻♥️

You literally make everyday better by just uploading💜

this really gave me a new perspective, with the way it was sung and used in the stadiums, I didn't open my mind to the lyrics and the lovely song :)

I've just recently moved to england, so this has been my first big football event. I've not been in the spirit (because I hate sports) but this made me feel so nostalgic??? as if this has been something throughout my entire life, but in reality it hasn't

"Tears for heroes dressed in grey..." Something even more melancholy about the 96 re-release. Beautiful opening line, echoes of soldiers. Brave men in the most drab, desaturated colour

me thinking i would never hear this song again for a while after england lost earlier: dodie: :D

This cover is so beautiful, and I don’t even have connection to the song cuz I‘m not British. You somehow managed to make this extremely overplayed song (yes, even here in Germany!) sound fresh and interesting, you never cease to amaze me! Depending on how you look at it, it’s either happy and full of hope, or sad with a look back at the disappointing past…

Wow that was actually perfect

a great way to end a tournament. love ya Dodie♡

Really well played match, intense until the very end. Here in Italy it's just pure chaos down every road of every single city, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it was England the winner, it was an intense battle

I'm sorry for the loss England and congrats to Italy. The dodie version is so nice. My dad introduced me to this anthem this morning.

this is the funniest thing ive heard all summer thank you dodie

i know absolutely nothing about football and i don’t like the way people act about it but the feeling of togetherness is a nice one

Now I'm happy I stayed up to watch the game because I get to see this :)))!

Also...this NEEDS to go on Spotify pleaseeeee

Dodie can make anything sound good!

Possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard

*55 years (now) and counting.

I freaking loooove the end!!! xD

when i started watching this my dog perked up and listened. i think he likes it 😌💘

i will never get over your VOICE HHHHH-

This is absolutely lovely 🥰

The melody is so cute

And just like that this song went from sad to happy it's come home.

It's coming home *next year*

this is amazing

This song was written by two british comedians in the 90s when England made it to the world cup final. It refers to how football was invented in England, so if they win the trophy will be coming home. It became the unofficial anthem for the England team. Sadly it didnt come home in the 90s, nor did it come home today!
