Tea Party National Anthem? Powerful Music Video "Freedom"

(JOE HORN) Allie Anderson and I wrote and recorded "Freedom" as a result of becoming increasingly concerned about the political climate here in the US. The gradual and consistent loss of liberties and freedoms, socialism creep in this great country, all a result of what I and most Americans now view as an out of control federal government. The trashing of our Constitution and the radical manipulation of the way that laws are being rammed through against the will of most Americans is greatly troubling to me as a father of two little ones.

For the cause of freedom in this country, for our children, for the freedoms that were paid for in blood and handed down to us by great men and women of valor, this generation is being given the responsibility and opportunity to preserve the freedoms and privileges of past generations that are now in grave danger. This country is in a battle over its very essence, its heritage, and there are those in power within the Federal government who would remake America into something much different than our fathers and mothers sacrificed to create.

In this country there are those in power who would sacrifice our futures on the altar of socialism. We as Americans cannot allow this to happen. I certainly do not plan to sit idly by, as the song says. It is our time to stand up for something we believe in, and to preserve this great Republic. If not us, who? If not now, when?

Song lyrics written by Allie Anderson and Joe Horn

I Swear, I swear before God above
When I look into my daughter's eyes, and I think about your lies
I won't be pushed aside, I'm not about to hide

Drop your political disguise, don't expect me to stand idly by
You want to take away her world, not my little girl,
You better step aside, I'm not about to hide

You take for granted, you take for granted the red white and blue
Your position you abuse, it's the little ones who lose
It's not for you to choose, we're not about to lose

Freedom isn't yours to give away
Liberty's been bought for us in blood, we wont give it up so help us God
We wont be pushed aside, we're not about to hide
(repeat)

-The pledge of allegiance -

Oh so help us God were not about to lose!

Freedom isn't yours to give away
Liberty's been bought for us in blood, we wont give it up so help us God
We wont be pushed aside, we're not about to hide

Freedom!

Was just checking out a lot of videos and ran across this one. DUDE! The best I have see and heard in years! You are one talented man. Going to you web site right now to find out how I get a CD of you and your band. Heavy video man. Loved it!

[Joe Horn]

Hey thanks USMCTOP, the music I have up on my site is dated to 2004, and does not include any of the new material. I'm hoping to have the new CD finished before summer this year. It will include 'Freedom' and many other originals. Thanks again, will post when its released.

With that much talent I figured that had to be the case. I totally understand and respect that. 

[Joe Horn]

Hey man your too kind ;) Harley, I'm about 60% finisheed with my new cd, just need more time to stay on it. When its finished I'll send you a post. Talk later man -

[harleyshouseofsound]

Wow killer song Killer talent in the voice and shred department (I had my yngwie years as well never could do the scalloped neck) But man this is video just cant take you seriously with your image. You really should take the time to get a video producer the song and the talent deserve it.

[Joe Horn]

: Not trying to create an "image" I'm out there doing something I feel is important. Thanks for the props on talent. Not interested anymore using "agencies or labels." I have friends in the biz holding top level positions with Sony, Sparrow etc. I'd rather do what I do, and do it without owing anyone an explanation. What you see is a guy being honest. Thats it. Again thanks for the props man.

[GRUMPYGUNNUT]

Like it. Need more.

[Ron Clayson]

Fantastic Song! I have been coming back to this song for a couple of years now.

[MrBudwv]

One of the best songs I've ever heard. Thanks for the work you're doing.

[Shawn Hinzman]

Dude. Good stuff.... It's refreshing to hear someone write music that is simple, straightforward, and solid. I've had about enough of all this technical, poppy crap that's all over the place. Great message and great guitar work.

[Jaime Avargues]

WOW! I normally don't comment videos but with this one I had to say to you congratulations, you're totally amazing. The music, the voice, the lyrics,... this song has become one of my favourite songs ever. Thank you guys for sharing this.

[Anthony Bey]

Hey sounds like creed and that guitar riff was awesome. Oh and Biden 2016!

[staresdaggers]

Damn you guys are good. Wiping tears from my eyes. What about our children people.

[cmblake6]

Puts tears in my eyes every time.

[Trevor Wood]

The song is worth the while, but my recommendation is to at least listen to the song without viewing the video first. It could (and most likely has already) distract from the best part.

wow! great msg; great music! thank you!!
