"Glorious" is the only single taken from Glorious: The Singles 97–07, the greatest hits compilation by Natalie Imbruglia. The music video for "Glorious" was directed by Frank Borin (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, Good Charlotte), and roaded in California. The video is inspired by the movie Y Tu Mamá También, in which Imbruglia collaborated before in the soundtrack, with the song "Cold Air", and follows Natalie and friends on a roadtrip through Mexico. "But instead of filming it in Mexico, I ended up in the California desert in 45C," she said.
“True glory strikes root, and even extends itself; all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can anything feigned be lasting.”
“Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience—the knowledge that our might deeds will come to the ears of our contemporaries or "of those that are to be." We are ready to sacrifice our true, transitory self for the imaginary eternal self we are building up, by our heroic deeds, in the opinion and imagination of others.”
“Less glory is more liberty. When the drum is silent, reason sometimes speaks.”
“The paths of glory lead but to the grave.”
“Magnum iter adscendo; sed dat mihi gloria vires.”
“Great is the glory, for the strife is hard!”
