"The Star-Spangled Banner (The Times They Are A-Changin')," Kevin Cryderman

[greyjohnstone]

Although I like this rendition, I'm none to crazy about the lyrical change there at the end.

Just my personal opinion on the issue.

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust;"

Are the original lyrics. Sort of changes the message of the original when you alter them.

Again, though, I liked the musical reworking.

It's silly for anyone to say that it is disrespectful to rearrange the Star-Spangled Banner. Its original melody was adopted from a British drinking song which could be called 'disrespectful' in itself...

[BluebirdsOver]

This is absolutely amazing! I wouldn't normally think a juxtaposition of something like the National Anthem and "The Times They Are A'Changin" would work, but in this case, you've done an incredible job. And I love the meaning behind the blend of both songs. :D

He broke the violin, in the end XD

[disradiance]

Wow. Cool. How unexpected from the song from the start of Watchmen.

kickass song.....anyone who can sing and write this is an american to me 5/5

[SublimeAmiga]

This is great! wow! I really like this a lot. It is very RESPECTFUL indeed!

And that AL11142 needs to just shutup.. I think he was really rude to you.

[GotHockey007]

this can be broght to a really deep meaning good job

[TKDDragon98]

This almost reminds me of when Rosan Bar sang the SSB and got booed off of the baseball field.

[HeavensRaptor]

Shouldn't be so negative against a National Anthem. After all, if heart went into the song/music it will always be true.

[TKDDragon98]

My god I am hoping you are not an American!

[HeavensRaptor]

for the sake of all that is good i hope YOU are not an American. Traitor. TKDDragon98

[TKDDragon98]

I am a very proud American, thanks for asking!

[corninio2]

Nicely done :D

[ir6011]

i enjoyed it

[kcryderm]

Thanks for you thoughts. I was trying to pay a respectful tribute to the wonderful words of the full lyrics of the anthem and the American capacity for change, which don't necessarily have to go with the particular music they have been paired with.

[al11142]

You are a good singer but i believe this is rather disrespectful to the original "Star-Spangled Banner". Also Mr. Obama does not deserve the dedication. I surely hope you did not vote for him.?

[SublimeAmiga]

no what is disrespectful is you

[alvaroelbarbaro]

great idea, it sounds great, but maybe you could work on the harmonica a little. congratulations!

[Commandotoad]

Wow! That was amazing!
