dprogram • Jah Wobble & The Inspiration of William Blake


Home > 1 > 2 Jerusalem I knew Jerusalem but I didn't connect that with Blake. I would associate that with Tory Party conferences and to me it was "JEROOOOSALEM!!" and I always used to think "Oh, there's that horrible song", and it always puzzled me "What are they singing Jerusalem for? What's the place in the Middle East got to do with it?" All these Tories singing. And then when I started to read Blake it was ... "Ahh!" Because I have a vision for Britain...to do my bit and to meet up with other 'monarchs' to build an Albion here. I like Blake's spiritual vision of that, of unity and real power. When you're signed to a dodgy record company, as has happened to me, going back a few years ago, at times, the A&R man claims your success for himself "I put that together." It's the way it always works, the anti-creator will try and feed off the creators. And its the same with the British institutions, adopting a song that's against everything they stand for! One of the things Jerusalem's about, for me, is about spiritually making something come together. Creating a 'holy' land - connect a few things...to become conscious and therefore build a situation, you bring it into being, a place where, hopefully, there's a high degree of consciousness, a high degree of love.
