The MOST AWESOME Star Spangled Banner

I honestly had thought our national anthem wasn't that great before hearing this version. What I posted below changed my view. This is awesome!

This is an altered version of the Star Spangled Banner, but I think it stays true to the song, and is quite frankly just awesome. It's by a band called Madison Rising, and it actually sounds like something you might find on an iPod, which usually can't be said of America's national anthem. It gave me goosebumps it's so good! Here's a link to the music video on Youtube:

We need these guys to play at the Superbowl. If this is what people thought of when they hear the national anthem, there'd be a whole different attitude towards it.

Here's the lyrics of this exciting, new version:

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land, land of the free and the home of the brave?

Because we are the brave
Yes we are the brave
We’ll fight tyranny
In the name of the free
We are the U.S. of A

For those unaware
That flag is still there
It’s our future to save
This land of the brave
The U.S. of A

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land, land of the free and the home of the brave?

If anybody knows of a neater version, please let me know.

 

Very cool, but I still like the Boston version

It is funny Jimi Hendrix received death threats for his version of the anthem. Sad that he'd served in the army

And of course this is the greatest version of any anthem ever
