The tune was a British barroom song. Lyrics by Francis Scott Key. The octave shift is difficult for the human singing voice. Bach NEVER wrote shifts, his notes on his pieces rose and fell in steps.
from a child when i was hearing this anthem i felt...i can't explain in words what i'm feeling when i hear it i feel like it's the anthem of my country but i'm not American...i'm crying when i listen to it
Sorry, but how does my opinion make me pathetic? perhaps you are the pathetic one considering you are so laughably sensitive about my preference in national anthems.
I have to agree with TySpoonz.. the soviet anthem is more beautiful if sung by the red army choir.. but the american one is just as beautiful if sung by carrie underwood or whitney housten
the most beautiful anthem is the italian national anthem.. also the german one is great
just bc i searched up american national anthem i didn't want to make any rude comments like all u are! i don't like in america.. and all anthems are great because thought was put in!
hey nice harmony it sounds pretty good i luv singing i take lessons every week but im not allowed to post me on the web so i would but yea i am 13 how old are you? and which one is you in the video?
the queens a figure head, and isnt relevent these days. no one even really cares that much about that. the history is nice to know though, but honestly, the british variation is best suited for closing a Queen concert, with Freddie Mercury on DVD.
I dont care what people think of America, life is too short to think of stupid things and fight over things like whos country is best. All countrys have done horrible things, not just America.
umm i dont want to be offensive but i really dont like your national anthem...its kind of boring!!! sorry!!! listen to the australian natinal anthem...and just cause im australian dont think im dissing your country but like you i cry when i hear my national anthem..
i like the australian anthem a lot and im american lol.....anything from australia in the music aspect i always like esp missy higgins.. i dont think it matters to compare anthems though but anyways yeah it is beautiful
Listen to blood-red white & blue of Rise Against... musiq1001, ur really not making any sense... america has never done anything else but killing people. just remember: every not-indian is an immigrant... u killed almost an entire race just for some dirt. stupid redneck.
3. EVERYONE needs money. not just the people in america. thats what people need to survive
4. and ineffective court system? have you even been here long enough to know what our court system is like? i think you havnt because you cant even spell "amerika" right. we do our best to stop crime
Gladicus... you suck. Are you unemployd or why do u got time to post that shit under every video which got something to do with the US? I can't be prejudiced as you might say cause I'm German not American.
Happy 4th of July people!! I'm Finnish but I've lived all my life in the USA. I love it there. ;) I wish I could live there again. I looooove your country, just as much as I looooooooooooove Finland. Rock on!! :D
Iam in the United States Army, I realy liked that preformance, I mean me and 10 other guys are fighting in Iraq, Im going back in like a month, so I was wondering if any one that reads this, if they can say a prayer, and when you hear the National Anthem, can you respect it and place your right hand over your heart? Thanks alot, that means alot to me,
I Don't even live in America ... But I Admire you and all soldiers who are trying to make this world a better place ... Go take that oil away from those Arabians ... and please lower the price of the oil ... It would really do the world good. It's finally time that the 2nd Oilcrisis ended
all thr respect and love to you and all our soldiers. go and check cesar playing our national anthem on electric guitar. Cesar played for the troops around the world and his cd is called "worlds of change" you can you tube him as well.he wrote a song called "soldier of glory'. I know you'll enjoy it. God Bless.
Thank you, Ireland. Glad to know we still have some friends in Europe. Hopefully someday we'll be admired and loved around the world again like we used to be.
I'm half Irish on my mother's heritage : ) Anyway we haven't had a good image the last several years, hopefully when we have a new President and some foreign policy changes and aren't at war we'll have more liek you in Europe.
Just wanted to say that I think this is beautifully sung. I love the USA's national anthem and the only reason I don't like it more than the British one is because I'm English.
