I was at GB07 and missed the rising performance - I still regret that. But I saw Michael at the Angel's share and from that performance I have started working my way backwards through his catalogue. They are all crackers - I'm now up to Gethsemane
Captivating performance. Speaks the heart of the American people, crossing all lines and boundaries, yet leaves hope in its wake. A work of art you captured here, many thanks...
Absolutely an incredible song---will send shivers down your spine, it's so spot on---reflections of what's in one's soul in regards to the duality of pride in your country and shame for its actions. Many thanks for sharing this video, and McDermott is a genius for writing such a heartfelt piece.
@markheybo In the United States we call that song "My Country Tis Of The," which you might note he mentions in the song. We have a different set of lyrics for the song than the Brits do.

This performance is of interest because he introduces the song with a some bars of 'God Save the Queen'

No doubt this is a great song, great performance and a great artist.
But I my guess would be that the first few bars in are in reference to America (My Country 'Tis of Thee), not God Save the Queen.
(even though both hymns have the same melody)
