This is a vocal rendering of a song about the changing nature of England's 'green and pleasant land'.
It's by a group called The Young 'Uns, who perform vocal arrangements of songs.
Listen carefully to the lyrics to get a sense for its focus:
It's limestone gorge and granite fell, it's Wealden clay and Severn mud
Blackbirds singing from the May-tree, lark ascending through the scales
Robin watching from your spade and English earth beneath your nails
What landscapes would you choose to represent the best of England?
