評價

美國一直是足球運動的處女地，把世界杯主辦權(quán)交到他們手里似乎是個錯誤的選擇，主題曲也變得黯淡。這首“榮耀之地”雖然有個響亮的名字，但是英雄主義色彩在這首歌中蕩然無存。

“榮耀之地”在音樂風格上更接近于民謠與流行搖滾樂的結(jié)合，很有些美國西部荒原的蒼茫感。1994年作者兼主唱達利爾創(chuàng)作了此歌，并邀請福音曲演唱組合“黑暗之聲”(Sounds of blackness)協(xié)助錄制。由于作品缺乏對足球運動的共鳴，很快淹沒在人們的記憶之中。1994年的世界杯合輯中收錄的其他大牌藝人的作品倒是要比主題曲精彩得多。

歌詞

It started with a feeling

and a dream was born in you

You hope and pray that come the day

you'll see that dream come true.

With every passing moment

you begin to understand

that you're bound for gloryland.

With a hunger in your heart

and with fire in your soul,

with passion rising high,

you know that you can reach your goal (reach your goal)

Believe in what you do

and you'll go straight to see it through (to see it through）

on the road to gloryland (gloryland gloryland)

and I say (loving it)

Gloryland, in gloryland (gloryland)

it's in your heart, it's in your hand.

in gloryland (in gloryland) hey gloryland (gloryland)

you're here in gloryland
