I grew up a Jehovah's Witness, so patriotism was looked down upon. I never saluted the flag, or stood up during the Star Spangled Banner at any event. When I grew up and got my own mind, I looked deep into my heart to find what feels good and right. Now I don't go knocking on people's doors trying to change their religion, I dress up and give candy on Halloween, and I get chills when I hear THIS song!
This is beautiful! THIS should be our national anthem! Not some British song about our flag! We see our flag every day and we all know its history, as we were ALL taught it in 1-5th grades. America, the Beautiful is the PERFECT US National Anthem. WHO AGREES WITH ME?!
Other countries of the Americas don't usually like being called Americans as the United States does. Then again... The other options of nicknames for Americans would consist of something like United Statesians? United States of Americans? USAers? USAians? Statesians? Uniteders? Etc., Americans is definitely the best despite its shared uses. =)
I truly appreciate your stand against "hate speech" and wish more people on YouTube would do the same! Though I may not agree with everything I see on YouTube or elsewhere, I can voice my opinion without resorting to insults, profanity, and belittling the efforts of others. "Free speech" is not a license to the vicious verbal behavior seen on the Internet and in so many other facets of society.
As far as I'm concerned, this song is dedicated towards the American people and this beautiful land and country in which we inhabit. Not necessarily the corrupt government in which rules it. This is dedicated to what America once was and what it could be.
I love this song. And the fact that it was originally a poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns is great too because Burns was a great guy and great writer. :)
@digi201 Actually I believe the song your referring to is "The Star-Spangled Banner." But upon further investigation into this one, I found that apparently it was written by Katharine Lee Bates. I must have been thinking of another song. A mistake on both our parts I guess :)
(continue) Baltimore, the flag was still there. Instead of beauty & serenity that this song invokes, that song shows strength & pride in our nation. That is why is was chosen. And if it's so hard for you to sing, put more effort into!! That's what the nation's founders did for us!! Don't change our anthem just because it's difficult!! Our Country was born in war & hardship! (and I really really really wish the supposed "professional" singers would also learn to sing it right!!)
However, I must say that I don't understand why some would prefer this as our anthem. It's flow is beautiful, & it's lyrics describe our country & people in the best possible sense there is. But does anyone know why the lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner are what they are? The talk of war, and turmoil is very sad, & yes the tune is actually British, but so is My Country Tis of Thee. The point of the Star Spangled Banner is that throughout all of the fighting & bombing at Bal
"America the Beautiful" was first runner up to "The Star Spangled Banner" when Congress decided upon the new national anthem. My main problem with "The Star Spangled Banner" is that the tune was done by a British citizen. The words were written by an American, but the tune is British. (Nothing against England but it is the US national anthem for crying out loud.) America the Beautiful is completely an American product.
I'm from the UK and I think this is an amazing song, I am so jealous of the patriotism you guys have for the US. I have visited many times and attend the soldiers homecoming parades because I think it is truly fantastic. God bless the US no matter what people in the world or in fact the UK may say, you are an always will be our friends accross the sea.
I know this sounds unpatriotic, but I hate the Star Spangled Banner. It's like no one can sing it without screeching/yelling at the top of their lungs. It's such an obnoxious in-your-face song. It would sound so much prettier if people just sang it gently like people normally do with this song.
@LaceHearts Not unpatriotic at all. I'm not a fan of the gymnastic renditions of our National Anthem. I don't like the screeching either or the added notes zipping up and down. It could be a much prettier song if so many liberties wouldn't be taken with it.
@LaceHearts After watching Christina Aguilera mangle the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl and Lea Michelle score a touchdown (no pun intended) with America the Beautiful, I think we should dump the Star Spangled Banner. I've heard many music teachers and singers both, pro and amateurs complain about how difficult it is to sing.
Besides, America the Beautiful is a gentle, spiritual song that captures the beauty and essence of our great land, unlike the war based Star Spangled Banner
@LaceHearts I agree completely. This would be a much better national anthem. The Star Spangled banner was written about a battle in a war the United States eventually lost, where as American the Beautiful is about what a beautiful country you live in, another idea I agree with completely.
Actually its not that hard to sing correctly. People just need to learn to read music just a little. The problem with most people who try to sing Our national Anthem is they try to sing the "High note" in tenor when it should be sung in baritone, base will suffice. Now I will agree I hate the way some try to sing/ scream our beautiful National Anthem.
The term "American" is not defined by race, ethnicity, or religion, but by belief in freedom. People of every ethnic group, from every part of the globe, come to the land of opportunity to find their dreams. God bless America.
Only if a person would be trying to stir up trouble. NORTH AMERICA is a continent. The United States of America (a.k.a. USA, US, America) is a country--and a great one too. Canada and Mexico do not have "America" in their title. Don't forget to nit pick about South America and Central America! They're American too! Good grief! Can't we all just get along?
@MarioPhillies God Bless Chile! The whole world was Chilean a few months ago. I've never seen anyone so brave as those 33 miners! I loved it when they burst into song, singing their National Anthem. As a music teacher, I agree that our National Anthem is hard to sing, due to the vocal range and the wide leaps between notes, but it's kind of like a monument to our struggle as a country, maybe not as grand as the Statue of Liberty, but just as beloved.
@MarioPhillies Well, the word "United Statesians" doesn't really work. And the word "America" is in the title of our country. We are not more American than any other country in the Americas, it's just that there's really no other word that you can use to describe people from our country. Everybody has just got to get over it and realize that calling us Americans doesn't change the American-ness of anybody else.
@imsosexyyy I'm not dissing America. I'm saying I wish it were as awesome as it used to be. I mean, it's always had problems, but you have to admit: it's been going downhill pretty fast lately.
If only America represented God and Jesus as well as it should, it would be so much more united and beautiful. If the world could hear this song and think of Jesus and be in awe of His country, things would be so much more peaceful. I can't wait until the day when all the countries on the New Earth will be perfect Americas and Jesus will reign over us all!
This is one of the greatest patriot songs ever made. This music moves me, even not being American. God Bless this Great Nation and its brave hardworking people.
Actually the other two states (Hawaii/Alaska) continued on the next section that I did not include on YouTube due to parental permissions for the internet, but thanks for sticking through the video to the end!
This Song here is a tribute, For the Americans who have given their lives for not only our American freedom, but for the Freedom of the United Nations, not just the country, but all the nations whom are united with these Great States that we call the United States of America! We are a PROUD nation. This is a Great Nation. Everyone who agrees, please post a reply to this. Lets try to get it to the top.
Great video, it really brings everyone together. No matter what your political standings are there is one thing in common amongst everyone in those 50 beautiful stars, we are ALL AMERICANS.
@GeorgiaKev Your right Star Spangled Banner describes our soldiers fighting against Great Britan in 1700, this song describes the country they wanted.
A lovely video, and I agree, it's great to see a video about the US without the usual barrage of hatred. I'm from England, and have always admired the US and believed in the ideals that we, as nations, share. As has been stated before, no country is perfect, but nations founded on democracy and free speech are surely better than the alternatives. This video is a reminder of the part that America has played in keeping those ideals alive - thank you.
America the country that has the rights to say we are one nation one people under God with liberty and justest for all. Other countries might say we are hogger s and are cruel and selfish .... well they don't live in america and they don't see that America is more than history , food and lots more .But were fighters we have men and woman risking there lives for America and the people of America . And some day we might fall but people will still remember us as the free country.
yeah, i always thought that this should be the national anthem. I live in Canada, and ive never understood why people hate americans, honestly they are so generous. Look at Hatti, the tsunami, and dozens of other naturaul disasters that the people all raised money and awarness for.
I think there is a part missing, isn it? ''oh beautiful, for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! AMERICA!AMERICA! may god thy gold refine till all success be nobleness, and ev´ry gain divine! '' I Think this part is missing...
My beloved home where i spend my youth from 20 to 42 years old,...i really miss my home at the USA, ...my citizenship belonngs to another country but my heart belongs to America,...may God bless America richly.
Thank you for posting this. Although I wasn't born in this Country I was naturalized here and am thankful everyday. This still brings tears to my eyes.
Proud to be an American ;), this song brings pride in your heart. Happy 4th all, please party don't drink and drive, I care. NO texting while driving, that type of conduct is not tolerated. Thank you :). Together we can make this world a better....
Oh wow, I was on my grandmas balcony looking out over the miles of plains and the purple mountains (or hills) off in the distance, and this song came into my head, and suddenly I realized what the lyrics actually meant, and it wasn't just another song from then on.
Spacious skies, amber waves of grain, purple mountains, fruited plains...
Indeed God shed his grace on this country, god bless America
When I was a boy in the 50's we sang patriotic songs like this and if anyone disrespected the song or anything patriotic the teacher would wear your ass out, not true today, sad, very sad.
@inloversville Yeah definitely shouldn't be the national anthem. The full version of the star spangled banner explains everything in our history and what we believe in. In the 4th verse it says, "And conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be out motto: IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!" Everything about us is in the star spangled banner. This just says how beautiful the land scape is :)
Anthems need a bit of power in them, a certain grandeur. The Star Spangled Banner has that, America the Beautiful does not. Of course, you can always use the one you prefer.
This song makes me think about the poor people who live under communism it is VERY sad, it also makes me think about the soldiers who loose their lives fighting the terriosts and communists, it's really actually sad
I'm happy to be living in the USA, it's surely better then living in a country. because I can't possibly survive in a 3rd world country anyways. so I'm happy to be living in the United States of America. =)
damn...its because of fools like you that the great american ideal and legacy was soiled and now this country is the laughing matter of the world as well as being most hated.
i havent sung this song since i was in school.. lol ..god bleess the memories!!!! to all the brave men that died so i can be free ....THank you...for my home!
I love each and every one of you, from sea to shining sea :D

Other countries might say we are hogger s and are cruel and selfish .... well they don't live in america and they don't see that America is more than history , food and lots more .But were fighters we have men and woman risking there lives for America and the people of America . And some day we might fall but people will still remember us as the free country.

yeah, i always thought that this should be the national anthem. I live in Canada, and ive never understood why people hate americans, honestly they are so generous. Look at Hatti, the tsunami, and dozens of other naturaul disasters that the people all raised money and awarness for.

America's greatness has nothing to do with God. It is thanks to the great generations of Americans who came before us.

Oh wow, I was on my grandmas balcony looking out over the miles of plains and the purple mountains (or hills) off in the distance, and this song came into my head, and suddenly I realized what the lyrics actually meant, and it wasn't just another song from then on.
Spacious skies, amber waves of grain, purple mountains, fruited plains...
Indeed God shed his grace on this country, god bless America

When I was a boy in the 50's we sang patriotic songs like this and if anyone disrespected the song or anything patriotic the teacher would wear your ass out, not true today, sad, very sad.

@inloversville Agree. This song is aobut what makes our coutnry special. Many countries have had flags still waiving after a battle.

@inloversville Yeah definitely shouldn't be the national anthem. The full version of the star spangled banner explains everything in our history and what we believe in. In the 4th verse it says, "And conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be out motto: IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!" Everything about us is in the star spangled banner. This just says how beautiful the land scape is :)

@inloversville well, you have to consider the circumstances under which the actual anthem was written, it lends a historical significance to the song

It's a nice song, but I don't think it's quite grand enough for an anthem.

@inloversville I agree. I love our current national anthem, but it's about war...

@XBBCX7891
Anthems need a bit of power in them, a certain grandeur. The Star Spangled Banner has that, America the Beautiful does not. Of course, you can always use the one you prefer.
Mirkwoodelves 1 year ago
@XBBCX7891 That's such a limited view of it.
It's about a struggle to preserve a fledgling nation. A rebirth and affirmation of our Republic. It's beautiful.
You don't always have to have that knee-jerk weenie reaction to war and history. Look at things in context.

I'm happy to be living in the USA, it's surely better then living in a country. because I can't possibly survive in a 3rd world country anyways. so I'm happy to be living in the United States of America. =)
