I'll be honest, this isn't one of my favorite songs of yours, but this is still pretty darn terrific. Probably your most powerful song.

Good question ThisCanadian. What harm does it do the rest of the World to see that we are waking up, considering how much damage America can do around the World?

But you are right, I should have said send it all over the country.

@sharonb314

why?  its about "America". why would the 'World' want to hear about something that slaps the rest of us in the face with a 'who cares about YOU, its all about US!'

[ThisCanadian]

i'm so *tired* of US peace & human rights activists always flagwaiving

it would be really nice if they spent more time engaging with the Rest of Us activists involved Globally.

You put so much effort in, then talk about 'America!'... really? nationalism is your best motivation? the best you can do?

well, its great work & pretty, but it leaves billions of English-speaking "UnAmericans" simply cold.

i like it...i like when it gets into the meat of the song (love the fiddler) i don't love the beginning but it's growing on me...all in all good song great message

[Maracouda]

This sounds so great!

I wish to summon my minions. The simplest way to annoy conservatives and tea baggers is this: e-mail this to yourself using the file tag on the left hand side. Check your e-mail to see it comes through and send it on as an e-mail to anyone who needs it.

Please e-mail the video "Hey American" World wide. Of all David's work Hey American is the best and the one most likely to change minds.

"The truth still sets us free! So yes I scream, and yes I shout, what America can be all about, and when I see, we've lost our way, I can't close my eyes and bury my head down in the sand, if I can help one person understand, speaking truth to power is just one way to love the USA..."

Awesome song, David! All of America should hear this song as we swing into a new lap around the sun.
