I sometimes wish we had played an orchestral version of Shonar Bangla instead of a solo male singer before our games

I love the Tagoresque melody also, Expected when it comes to our own and India's anthem because both were written by him, but Sri Lanka's has always been a pleasant surprise for me.
I loved the Chhayanaut version of our national anthem the best. That's how it was meant to be sung in a chorus. A western orchestral arrangement, even a good one by someone at the Julliard, would overpower the incredible lyrics IMHO
