American Symphony

[wildflower2176]

how is this video nearly 6yrs old and we're still at war in the middle east?

[DraigTalmh]

From American Beauty to the darkest hours. From the humanity of the citizens to the bravery of the American troops to the glory of America- God Bless America!

[nocluebanks]

I LOVE IT. BOTH THE PICTURES AND SONG. IT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. BRINGS CHILLS TO YOUR BODY AS YOU WATCH AND LISTEN. USA, USA, USA. WHEN YOU SPELL AMERICA; YOU SPELL FREEDOM. SEMPER FIDELIS AND GOD BLESS

[kuzweliveordie7]

Brings back memories of playing this in high school

[wilbmoore]

Great video!!!!! As a Vet I'm proud of this video. It expresses what America is all about.

[bonkoriental]

Beautiful!

[unnamednewbie13]

Nifty music. As for the slideshow, I would've probably started with some older photos before whipping out 9/11 and Katrina, but it's your show.

[BigOldScout]

Those camera's do help in cases they were meant for. Two years ago in Florida a man killed a poor teenage girl walking home. Thanks to the camera at the Car Wash next to where it happened the dirt bag was captured. There are also many cases where murder was stopped because of such cameras.

[deedundone]

we are many and we can change so whats the problem?????

[deedundone]

love the faster parts.

[RockTheGolem]

It doesn't matter how many times I listen to this, it still gives me chills.

[vashonislandguy]

Thanks so much for sharing this!

[nobadgerbear54]

all I can say is thank you. I am the son of a WW2 Silver Star honoree. My Dad would have LOVED this. Just a grown man weeping in appreciation of all that we have. An inspired and truly artistic reminder of what we have been blessed with. Thank you so much.

[Darusdei]

you have been blessed with a good strategic location...

[belliedbabe79]

The best part is from 5:21 on...I just love this song from Mr. Holland's Opus! (:D)

Just might have to use it as my wedding march...if I ever get there! (:P)

[jmpnjakflsh]

I have been all over the world and have seen some of the deepest darkest s**tholes that make Tijuana seem like Beverly Hills and I have seen some of the most beautiful places on earth...But be it ever so humble...THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!!! GOD Bless america and us Him!!!

[belliedbabe79]

The youngest, & the best country by far!(:D)

[NJRocks281]

The USA is one of the oldest countries my friend. Not the youngest. Over 230 years of continuous non stop government. The USA is the worlds oldest federation. Oldest country in the western hemisphere. Older than any government in Africa, most in Europe, and almost all in Asia. The USA is a young civilization but is a very old country.

[CarlJMagrath]

@NJRocks281 You've either got to be stupid, ignorant or both, and just where do u think u yanks came from, yep, jolly ol England, whom has been ruled by Kings and Queens, after the Roman Empire abandon its shores and the first King started in 825 AD which kinda beats your 230 by 1,185 yrs, I've heard North an South hemisphere, western? wheres' it start or finish? don't forget USA has not HONORED one treaty to the indians, a shameful past, why, racism is ingrained, up to 1964, segregation.

[laynestaley1990]

well thats great....i think everyone should be patriotic to thier country...that last comment was directed more towards people who live in america and complain about it. i think if u dont like your country of orgin and its so "horrible" then leave. but yeah ...i am glad u are proud of your heritage everyone should be.

[boundaryzero]

Michael Kamen .... RIP

[laynestaley1990]

america is the best....we have the most freedom here...and u can disagree with that statement in america...why... because in america you have the freedom to do so :)

[hey78huy]

I disagree that we have the most freedom here. I can't go a week it seems without getting tailed by police for miles, running my plates before turning around when I cross town lines. I see unmarked police everywhere hiding behind buildings and signs spying on everyone. I see cameras going up all over downtown and at intersections. In England these cameras bark orders at you on the street. Is this next here in America?

I think we lost the America of our childhoods, it's time we take it back

[deedundone]

i think we as a people have some reassesing to do with our country thats for sure.

[ubu142]

I don't usually stick around for 8 minute videos but this one certainly was worth it! Well Done? USA USA USA.

[sw00p99]

Great montage...the theme and background complemented each other. Quiet an eye for detail and ear for the emotional tunes that went with the flow of music and pictures. Great video by the way

[laxman1600]

awesome vid man great job

[pbarkla]

Thank you, I was very moved by this!

[StickTheCadence]

Makes you so damn proud to be able to call yourself an American. I LOVE this song, and your work is PERFECT! Thank you! So very touching!

[widowworks]

Loved it. Very nice piece of work. I see you only have two vids. Would like to see more.

[sheppb4y]

does anyone know what publisher owns the rights to this piece? I would love to get a copy of the score...

[Fallrider]

Michael Kamen.

[daza1989]

Michael Kamen is such an awesome composer! (i wasnt really looking at the pics - sorry!) but the music is amazing!

[Wirespeed91]

*agrees with person below* yes, very, very awesome A-W-E-S-O-M-E in the most literal and metaphorical sense of the word, i swear, more than once this presentation sent shivers up my back...

[KaiserofKonoha]

Very powerful....I love this country...

[SamuraiX7]

w00t!

America = BEST COUNTRY EVER!

[tpmm1]

Wonderful music and pictures, but hey... WHY is it the best country ever? Can you explain that? The high social standards and services? Low crime rates? No polution? With all respect, but saying so because one lives in the country is too easy. :)

[alfienaj84]

It's the best country in the world because you can question absolutely anything you want anywhere you want and not get in trouble for it. Like on youtube....

[hey78huy]

Tell that to the man in Utah who was Tasered on the side of the road last September for "questioning" his speeding ticket. The officer was obstructing the speed limit sign and the man "questioned" what the speed limit was. I suggest more research be done before one says you can "question anything you want and not get in trouble for it".

[Stormwind187]

So one or 2 corrupt cops means the entire country,Cops,And goverment is corrupt?

Please i know a majority of cops are corrupt with power.But not everyone is.The goverment is in distress but nothins lasts forever.If it gets to where NO ONE CAN QUESTION AYHTING.

Then we can take up arms against the goverment and revolt and create anew.Its in the constituotion we can do that.

[drquads]

@hey78huy isolated incident and as humans we sometimes use poor judgement. Either way, I personally feel free living here.

[wildflower2176]

brava! great effort!

[biggrosso]

Wow!

[jhertz89]

AWESOME!!! totally A*W*E*S*O*M*E!!!! thanks for the effort and motivation to remind us WHY :)
