IM AN AMERICAN!! MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER WAS IN WWII , AND NOW MY UNCLE IS IN THE ARMY AND IS GOING TO AFGHANISTAN !!! WHO WOULDN'T BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!!
i love music like this. music where you notice something new everytime you listen to it. there's a great trumpet fanfare in the middle section. it's awesome.
There is a sense of power to this song, even without lyrics. I am not a musically technical person, but there is just something about the way it is composed that lends to it...
@alpha2261 it's a tin whistle, also called a penny whistle. it's an instrument used in a lot of Irish and Scottish folk music. Michael said he wrote this as a film score to a non-existent movie about the civil war. He lives in Franklin, TN, which hosted a pretty fierce civil war battle. a lot of soldiers in the civil war on either side were of Scottish or Irish lineage.
I am playing this peice as an eighth grade student in a primarly tenth grade and up band, challenging, but amazing, we're a very new program(three years) and we have really taken off.
If you like this song,you might want to get the cd. It's on of my favorite instrumental cds...along w Hans Zimmer stuff and 'Last of the Mohicans'. :-)
What a terrible thing to state! How dare you cloak yourself in white with such a dark heart. Truly disgusting. You think that 1 million Iraqi dead is also fin with you? The Bible speaks of people like you .. the most dangerous and evil people walking the Earth .. "wolves in sheeps clothing"!!!! Wake up to the God of Love!

@TerrorWarrior5000 but than u would be doing wrong onto others. its a select few in Iran so why should we punish the entire country? and What would jesus do if he were still walking among us?
@elam4eva I dunno, maybe vote for a real pro-war conservative in the mold of George Bush like John McCain, Mitt Romney, or Rudy Giuliani and then go tell Ron Paul to fuck off and ban his ass from debates?
why do i feel an inspirational speech, or the grand canyon coming into my head... am not american, not mexican... i am scottish, but the sense of pride and privilage in this song is amazing...
So, does anyone who actually owns the album know if there's a story behind the songs? It sounds almost like a movie soundtrack, and I'm wondering if there's some brief story in the little pamphlet thing that weaves a story with this music.
I love this. I really love instrumentals - they are songs that don't need words for a description. Whenever I hear a song I like, I search for the instrumental version
~rip michael... love u brother! This music made me cry! everytime i hear a piece of music like this i think about my brother that die in war..
