Arlo Guthrie - This Land is your Land

[Kingery4President]

When the people of every nation/land on this planet take control of their own governments and run them as they see fit, most of the nations will see peace; many of them for the first time in many decades.

We, the People of the USA, were once in the greatest position to be the example to the world as to how the People should control government. We can get there again.

When we as a nation have what others want for themselves, they will copy our plans and our action without our military.

[papaskip]

sometimes arlo shouldn't say words! now don't get me wrong! this is the real american national anthem. but some of those more, uh, topical verses about the relief office etc...well, could we just kind of skip them? and please, no lectures about new orleans, we all know how america has continually failed its working people. the core verses are just perfect, tho. i've never heard the essence of the american dream so beautifully and movingly stated. its up to us to organize for change.

[pytko3]

They are needed as an expression of faith in the American Dream even in tough times.

[cairnsy87]

WHERES THE LAST VERSE:

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple

Near the relief office - I see my people

And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'

If this land's still made for you and me.

[derryhawk]

What about people all over the World? It is not realy about America, China, Russia, India, or anywhere else. It is about you and me as citizens of one World...One World where people starve daily, war often, and destroy the ecology. Arlo comes from a culture of people who were desperate to change it...But we didn't. It's just the same. Change has to start in human hearts, and with the help of God. Love and Peace, and be nice to each other.

Why do so many people have to make such ignorant comments??? I love Arlo. I saw him about 27 years ago when he came to play at my college. It was the best night!!! He told so many great stories and sang so many good songs. Wow...I'd love to see him live again.

[cherishtherepublic]

Arlo is great because he knows what America is Supposed to be. Patriotism is not pretending that everything is ok when its not. A few people still know that.

[breedgemh]

American Crap. Just sing the fucking song and cut the crap

[witpen007]

american patriottism,fuck it

[JoanneChristie]

Well DUDE YOUR WRONG they HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE MONEY! ITS ALL A BIG ILLUSION TO PROMOTE THE "AMERICAN DREAM!"!! I PROMISE TO GOD!

[Jagtarro]

>_>

[aicheyearaem]

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me

[Cliffabcd1]

since thanksgiving is right around the corner i think we all need to hold hands with the native americans and the pilgrims and sing this land is ur land. God bless America.

[NAKUPET]

we killed almost all the native ameericans..

[UdReks]

Ironically the poster writes "God Bless America" not realizing that "This Land is Your Land" was written as a protest song against I. Berlin's God Bless America.

[audie83]

Thank you so much for posting this! Very moving to hear Arlo sing his dad's Magnum Opus. I loved "This Land Is Your Land" as a child, and then I became an Arlo fan after watching the movie "Woodstock" at a film revival in the 1980's-and was delighted to find out Arlo was Woody's child. :)

[4Mengineering]

true words dem

[StrawberiDelight]

Omigosh D: Too much cussing on youtube comments much?

This land is land. No one should be able to claim it for themselves. World peace... only a dream right now.

[D4268]

Keep the wheels of the tour bus a-going, Arlo - this world needs people like you and your family more than ever. Good always wins in the end.

[Jok3rBlu3]

the point of the song is piece and love and sharing the land with all, no one person can steal what is everyones.

[yodalantern]

This land is our land and aint NO ONE goin take it from us

[Phaikon]

Was the camera hiding in a tree when they shot this? Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad you uploaded it. Especially if you had to hide in a tree to get it done. But what are those branches about?

[jeffdix]

Woody Guthrie didn't take it.... past leaders of a country he was born in did.

If you didn't know Woody was not pleased with most things in American government.

Cherokee you dont know what you are saying, im sure guthrie would have been against war with native americans... too bad he was a few centuries too late.

[KanzlerM]

If indians hadn't ruthlessly attacked settlers we might not have had the indian wars.

We didn't teach war to the indians.

[JoanneChristie]

I love the INTERNET! I can just say exactly whatever I WANT TO SAY! ITS WONDERFUL!

[JoanneChristie]
