Star Spangled Banner - Piano Arrangement

[shamalama68]

We don't dislike the song. We dislike the arrangement of it. He's ruined it.

[jellyjamjones]

Do you know if i could possibly get the sheet music for this somewhere? I 'd like to do this for my high school graduation in May!

[angelna8]

THUMPS UP IF YOU WACHING THIS ON 2011!!!!!!!!!

[700masterchief]

how can people dislike this song this is our star spangled banner

[BeatlesAnthology]

nigger

[artcolding]

u play so horrible seriously no offense but u jus plat horible i cant even track up i lost it man take lessons

[TweetysGir1]

@artcolding so your saying just because you were lost or "cant even track up" what ever the heak that means...he's a horrible player. Please! This Man is Talented Beyond Measures and you know it! Just because you cant keep up with him doesn't mean you have to tell him he needs lessons..how about you post a video or 129 like him and let the viewers judge whose better! thanks and God Bless

p.s no offense!

[kcm367]

The chords are weird, a bit off key.

[farscapebabe]

A little slow and off key but no matter what. It is a beautiful song and God Bless you for playing this.

[JONATHAN14045]

i feel good but that is slowly.. :(

[Dominick629]

@mojobanjo88 I don't like the Amazing Atheist. Years ago he used to made decent video's, but now he panders to 14 year old. Haven't watched him since.

[kity19kat]

So meaningful is this star spangled banner cover by David Sides. May God bless him.

[Dominick629]

@mojobanjo88 You're clearly a troll. Get a life.

[Dominick629]

@mojobanjo88 You're clearly a child so I'll speak in an extremely simplistic way for you. Many people like video. That Fine. Me no like video. Me say me no like video. Me use 1st Amendment. You respect me 1st Amendment. Because this America. No like? go Iran. Winning.

[Dominick629]

@mojobanjo88 I don't like it, that is my honest opinion. For you to call me a douche simply for not sharing your taste in music makes you the douche, not me. Take care, Douche.

[txmemoirs]

this 1 sounds flat. or mayb the notes are too low

[thefernbytheriver]

Do you write your own music? That would be even cooler! Your amazing!!!!!! :)

[TheCarrera4s]

hes a good peniest

[Dominick629]

Don't like it. Sounds horrible. 

[iluv2swimbutterfly]

@Dominick629 if you're an American, to hell with you. If you're a foreigner or Canadian, well then that's your opinion.

[Dominick629]

@iluv2swimbutterfly "Don't hate haters. Love haters. That's the only way you can change them and make them lovers. " ---Live up to your principals cupcake. My opinion doesn't require anyone's endorsement. :)

[iluv2swimbutterfly]

@Dominick629 1. don't call me cupcake. 2. I never said that quote nor do I live up to that quote. It is simply a quote from someone I admire. 3. Your opinion doesn't require anything, correct, but there is no law against stating my opinion in relationship to your opinion.

[SliqTraeci]

Dude u are sum serious. plus u play the hell outta several genres. now thats priceless

[Kylieknowsbest]

that sounds really good

[ixcuincle]

Well done, sir.

[benbunny1]

[DallasCowboyBrothers]

[ProperTingz00]

@ HungAzn ...it's just you.

[HungAzn]

is it just me or does he kind of need to tune some notes on his piano..?

[Shelbymahaffie]

he's playing dischordant notes on purpose

[Evergreyoviedo]

@Shelbymahaffie

[tjsaunty5]

[MrJackanthony]

[scotland7yard]

[MrJackanthony]

[tcrock89]

[Shelbymahaffie]

[MrJackanthony]

ENCORE ENCORE LOL

[ddlovatofan001]

the anthem of america is much prettier than ours .. i wish i was american.. xD

[Generalvaldez]

I feel that the most beautiful national anthem in the world belongs to the Dominican Republic. I believe its the longest in the world too with 13 stanzas.

[maestroazzey]

No, the longest in the world is the "Hymn of Liberty" of Greece. It contains 158 Stanzas, though only the first two are being sung.

[Generalvaldez]

Ah. Ok thnx for correcting me on that i wasnt too sure. only the first 3 stanzas of the Dominican one are sung anyway. Although they used to sing all 13.

[ThatOnePianoKid]

@Generalvaldez Doesnt the star spnagled banner have a ton too but they are just not sung. Theres like two more verse things that arnt sung I think

[lotud8]

@maestroazzey correct, adn the colombian one has 18 stanzas, more than the Dom. Rep. only 2 are sung as well.

[htowntrackstar]

dope.

[MuzikLuver8]

Wow this should have been the official keys played for the anthem!!! you make music come alive literally!!! as always, enjoyed your play!! bravo!!!

[oomphalwaysrockz]

Oh say can you see

by the dawns early light

what so proudly we hailed

at the twilights last gleaming

whose broad stripes and bright stars

to the perilous fight

or the ramparts we watched

were so galantly streaming...

oh my god i love this anthem ♥♥♥

[bearybear234]

That was another one of your videos THat I loved I love all of them

[leraginasian]

nice chords!!!!

[Milmon26]

beautiful rendition

[franco20a]

2 stars wtf is wrong wit u i give u 5

[iNOMxD]

u cant even play the piano like he can so shut up

[armedinsanity]

OMFG!! dude your amazing!

that really touched me and you played with your heart i can see it in your face.

[xishi18]

Nobody cares if some people are annoyed with slow music... please respect it... It's america's national anthem...

[Darkkenfox]

@xishi18 I can't read my comment anymore. BUT I just gave my opinion... and I can have a little respect too.

And sorry, I don't care if its america's national anthem or not, I gave my opinion just like I would do if it is any other music.

This guy rocks, I heard more than just one song, I'm just saying that he would do (and he does) better if he played faster. Its just MY opinion again.

[czplayerforlife]

This guy gives it all! I love the way he plays with his heart.

[09hotsauce]

yeah man ur right i hate slow music too .

[Allen99]

The best i heard the anthem since Marivn Gaye sang it...

[vincentmetinor]

this is a really good song

[milesadmu]

it's an anthem babyy... not just a song. =) hahaha

[tankbrute6]

nice dissonance between those notes man. adds so much meat and power to the song

[uzuhl2]

You my good sir are an idiot, the guy is a freaking amazing pianist, and you're going to criticize him for doing it his own way? What a dumbass

[jaressloo]

"my good sir"!! HA! That made me laugh

[cstorey06]

Zounds!!

[marin15]

Why so rude? atleast he is trying. Have a good night<3

[crfmxman27]

its called innovation. people change notes of music and its called arranging. do you know anything? notes can change and its still music.

[singingxtree]

damn.

i really wanna learn how to play this.

that was awesome. :)

[JJJen6]

u rock david!

[AndyAngelZ]

davide learns all this by ear

[jaredflame22]

its actually so sick all the notes are there some are just overshadowed by chords

[Blopartyhut]

I'm DYING to know what the last 3 chords are. 2:11 2:14 2:17

[SebastienLoong]

Did David actually make up the chords himself?

[okonh0wp]

i wish i could have had the sheet music to it, but david sides didn't post it

[NeztLe06CZT]

slept...

[MrSammiebest]

Question dumb ass Do you play an instrument? Have you played behind the likes of R.Kelly or the late Micheal Jackson? I have fuck head trust me I know what I'm talking about SOME OF THE CHORDS WERE OFF KEY!!!!

[Btoof]

Its hard to believe a "professional" musician such as yourself would troll around youtube attacking other people like a 5 year old.

[rockindavid310]

lol trollin

[AZOOOOPPY]

although some of the chords were off key as you say, but thats his version, he kept the general melody, and basically improvised on it, so it should be fine.

[cstorey06]

Well, you just explained why you're so negative. R. Kelly? MJ? You've been raped so many times you could stuff an entire pumpernickel up your rectum. Please don't take it out on everyone else...

[Thecheesemistro]

and also, very interesting final cadence, is that flat 6 flat 7 1?

[Thecheesemistro]

love all the suspensions and awesome chords u use, awesome job.

[kupotenshi]

I liked how slow you played this. The vibrations and long held notes add more emotion to this song. Beautiful; <3

[tjdfutbol]

This would be the best version for a 9/11 tribute video

[skedoosh]

in the middle you should have been like REEEMIX!

[curiositykills24]

lol i agree.......

[DJimenez371]

not to be against america cuz america kicks ass but the russian anthem sound cool too

[morrisman64]

Some of your chords where off but good job.

[richiate]

you're a dumb ass those cords weren't off it was suppose to sound that way.

[10Daniel23]

Calm down amigo. He said he did a good job but that was his opinion. You can't be getting pissed at little things but Im guessing you defend what you love, lol. Im the same way, but just calm down :D

[easeuponthecoffee]

amazing it was perfect

[dricajapiassu]

Lindo!!! Muito talento e bom gosto!!!

[xoxqtxox2510]

hey could you play oh canada sometime ?

[Stargurl180]

:D lol im canadian :P

[saboomify]

Wow, amazing cover. I play this on guitar but i just play tabletop notes, no chords and your version sounds way better.

[TyroNeon]

U.S.A. WOO!!

[KatieLady010]

Yu are excellent!!!!

[wr2champ]

the national anthem is realy nice, and with a piano its like the best anthem of the world. 13 colonies and 50 stars - the banner of the United States. the history of the USA is really intresting. I learned many things about the united states in history. and i am from germany! ^^

[murice11]

You are the BOMB dude!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrRobB2007]

Nice touch on the dissonennce!

[hellojacobhitch4545]

he really thought of everything in this playlist

[panicboixd]

are you retarded when did USA get beat by russia anyways shut the fuck up and listen to the music.

[lildarkkill]

"The5648"

You're a retard. USA never lost to Russia. So go pick up a history book and actually think twice before posting worthless horse shit.

[cat333pokemon]

One of the best piano covers of the USA's national anthem I've heard. Great playing as always!

5/5

[hatebush1234]

lol i stood up and took the pledge stance :D

[KayKayluhhh]

lmfao people stop your bitching about the war and shiit. and enjoy the music.

[pumpkinpie35]

beautiful...great job

[SithHadouken]

I honestly feel bad for our generations to come. I'm 18, and the money being spent by our president... My children... even my grand kids will be paying this shit off. Thanks all those who could vote last year. Take our checks and balance system and fucking chuck it out the window.

[blakguitar]

Yea..... I mean i voted for Obama too. Im 19.

I kno he means well, but IDK if all this investment will prove to pay off in the future. But as for how shit looks right now, yea ur right. Our children and children's children, and maybe even their children will pay the consequence.

[loves2jam]

Why are you all talking about military and wars? This is so irrelevant.

Anyways..

Great job David!!

[yummypieProductions]

I didn't expect the comments to be filled with something else besides complimenting his music..

[HorseMan4h]

dude y is every body talking about war talk bout how this guy rocks and the USA is best because we are the olny nation to have super carrers (big aircraft carrers)

any were is the world at a moments notice

[cstorey06]

Surely you can cite reasons for loving your country that don't revolve around blowing shit up? :-)

[dreamcastdre]

Oh, and David, sorry for contributing to the derailing of your comments section; it wasn't my intent. As always, your music is on point! Good stuff, bruh.

[dukeyjj101]

ya im pretty sure halofanatic u have no clue what ur talking about we by far have thee best army we just dont use it to full force, yet if there is a nucleur war no one would win but we would definitly be in better shape than anyother country...so can u name a war that USA has been in that we've been completely owned no the only one we lost was the revolutionary and thats cuz are country wasn't letting r soldiers fight correctly so dont say are's isnt the best when in actualality it is

[DMetroneis]

We didn't lose the Revolutionary War; we fought to the point that Britain saw that the cost of victory would be too great for them, at which point they conceded our independence. I'd call that a victory.

The closest thing to a war that the US has lost would be the Vietnam War - which failed for a number of reasons. Technically, we didn't lose that war, but pulling out like that might as well have been a concession on our part.

[cabot2jville2010]

we lost that war, theres no techincally anything, we lost

[cstorey06]

V-I-E-T-N-A-M ?

[HaloFanatic99]

Wow, you guys are ignorant. If you want to talk military, go to another video. But just to add my own comment. USA in NO WAY has the BEST military, sure we have some GOOD things, but Russia or China would own us anyday, its pure fact.

[dreamcastdre]

LOL, sorry, but the U.S. does have the best military. China obviously has manpower on us but to say that they have a better military, as far as technology goes especially, that kinda goes to show how little you really know. And as for Russia, since the collapse of the Soviet Union their military has been down and out, and that has been for a minute. The U.S., in a conventional war, is unfuckwith-able. Neither one of them would be an easy victory but if it was a conventional war, the U.S. wins.

[bboygamble342]

us does have the best military, but the isralian soldeirs are the best in the world.

[dreamcastdre]

The Israeli military is one of the strongest in the world which is amazing, given the small size of the nation of Israel, but if their army was to go head up with the U.S., they'd get stomped.The U.S. army is much bigger & has a lot more capitatl backing it. Israel is nice, but the U.S. is the world's sole super power for a reason. I don't want anyone to think I'm some cocky American who thinks we're superior to everyone and everything in this world (we aren't), but militarily, none is better.

[vyacheslav0melnyk]

u are genious!

[itsamanzer]

I love your playing. If there's one thing I love about my neighbors to the south it's their national anthem. It has such a powerful sound to it.

I am sure glad that these mentally inept racist pricks that are commenting on this video aren't in power of... well anything..

Grow up kids.

[LegendarySkidoosh13]

100 years ago a black man would be killed for doing something like this...this shows how far weve come. keep playin man you rock :)

[cstorey06]

Wow... deep.

[stiKKyy]

fuck 5 stars. this muhfuckah gets a millie. lol

[4bucks08]

excellent!!!!!10 stars....love the new sound!!!!

[vernyramous]

o i love this ur awsome

[edge0fheaven]

hey im a pureblooded chinese who just recently immigrated cut all this racist crap i can't believe the west are so rude. our asian traditions respects curtesy and culture.

[emberslave]

You make it sound like you're generalizing.

[6048733993]

everything

[elking1995]

wth does china gotta do with piano???

[Flyff101ers]

Everyone stop with the freaking racial comments. I wish you all f**king died and went to hell so I don't have to put up with your prejudices.

[Cieldaron]

Man, guys, stop that racistic crap and write comments about this video, not about war with china and so on!

PS: He plays great!

[chrisXDfull]

lol what funny comments but idk man chinese dudes have too many they just keep on cmin like ants they just overflow the whole country lol

[Cypiditas]

Rofl, the only reason the chinese have a fighting chance against america is because they reproduce like fucking rabits. And while were on the topic, Canada As the worlds best Navy, with destroyers able to cross the pacific ocean in 10 hours max speed. So America has the nukes, canada has the ships, and chinese have little 5 foot guys running around fucking every hole they can find with their 2 inchers

[schoolboy465]

loloolol very nice.... We also have the best air force, and the most advanced weaponry for land-combat and missiles.

[Dam1Xs]

and you are very bad in economy :P haha

[Int3nseGam3rs]

China has the largest and most discipline army in the world so don't u be thinking that america is the best because it is simply not true. Against Russia we would be goners. please be respectful and get over your self...

[aMammoth]

ROFL. 10 hours to cross the pacific? Lol. Doing a little bit of measuring, from Canada's Shore to Japan, Straight line is approx. 4000 miles, and that is going across Alaska. So crossing the pacific in ten hours would mean you's have to go at 400 mph. I don't think any destroyer can cruise at that speed...

[3LliOtTD0GG123]

ur a dumb piece of shit ignorant fuck bro, im american and its annoying as hell when dumb folks like u say shit like that..... its inevitable that China would defeat Canada and USA. Just pure statistics. They are not third country or anything, their ground infantry is in the same level as the other maajor powers. Think about 5 advanced tanks (america) vs 2000 ground infantry (china), They will win. It doesnt even matter because they both feed off each other and get more powerful from trading.

[iCanadian14]

lmao ye ye

[budda8you]

this guy is ....not the best

[Terpguy00]

I dislike this version.  Too slow and in a different key signature.

[lambsquad17]

Not so good in the beginning

Love your version.

[blithe111]

America is un-educated about anything outside of it's own borders, fat, racist, full of crime, and hated by the rest of the free world.

Oh but you have a mighty fine military you can use to bully the rest of the planet with. Good job.

[Airsteven123]

haha yea, our fine military is mostly likely the reason ur able to comment on a youtube page.

[schoolboy465]

So true. So true.
