Well, the tune is the one generally used for "Nearer my God to Thee". I like Pete singing it. There's not too many other people who could, maybe.

But Nearer my God has a lot more depth, partly the associations it's built up. (And the lady who wrote it lived and died and is buried just outside Harlow.)
