"Then Conquer We Must, Our Cause Is Just! This Be Our Motto: Who In GOD Is Our Trust! And The Star-Spangled Banner In Triumph Shall Wave Over The Land Of Free And The Home Of The Brave!"
I didn't know you could sing 😅, you keep surprising me Johnathan! Also, nice suit. #LandOfTheFreeBecauseOfTheBrave #FreedomWasntFree One nation under God.
First let me say I am a retired Army Combat veteran, my son is a US Marine, my daughter is an Army Intelligence Officer... I have given more to this country than most! We need a NEW ANTHEM!! You cannot just omit the verse praising and glorifying slavery and think it's ok! We need an anthem that truly reflects ALL the pride and diversity that makes this country good. I would say great😂 but let's be real, this country is NOT great. The only thing we lead the world in is prisoners and prisons! But our Armed Forces are still unmatched, so we have that at least.😊
O 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 through 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; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country, should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation. Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Would you mind uploading another video like this containing the fifth verse of the song? I’ve been looking all over the internet for a version that contains the original four verses plus a fifth verse written during the American Civil War but I haven’t been successful. For reference, here is the verse: When our land is illum'd with Liberty's smile, If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory, Down, down, with the traitor that dares to defile The flag of her stars and the page of her story! By the millions unchain'd who our birthright have gained We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained! And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave While the land of the free is the home of the brave. I do appreciate your rendition here, and keep up the good work!
Преимущества исполнения. Одно, но очень большое. Не срывается на вопли и завывания, которыми грешат очень много исполнителей, в том числе и знаменитых. Лично меня это раздражает, хотя может кого то и восхищает (думаю, прежде всего самих исполнителей). По мне это самая тупая форма выражения любви к США - завывать и вопить при исполнении Гимна США. Мальчик этого не делает и это большой плюс. Недостатки. 1. Сам по себе голос так себе, средненький. Плохо поставленный. Я бы так то же смог исполнить, хотя не считаю, что у меня голос есть. 2. Не верно выбрано соотношение между силой голоса и силой инструментов. Инструментальная часть достаточно сильная и где то очень далеко за ней пробивается не очень качественный голосок этого мальчика. Хотя, возможно, это сделано специально, что бы скрыть недостатки постановки голоса. Весьма необычно (что нельзя отнести ни к плюсам, ни к минусам) то, что исполняются все куплеты гимна. Обычно, даже на официальных церемониях, исполняется только первый куплет, продолжительностью примерно 100-110 секунд. Для меня образцом исполнения как был, так и остается, исполнение Гимна США Emma Peek, ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LDVID1tpchA.html ) которое было сделано соло, без музыки, которая могла бы скрыть недостатки голоса. Но отважная Emma Peek решила петь соло и не прогадала. А это исполнение так себе. Не совсем уж провальное, но весьма слабенькое.
Thank you for your very honest and detailed analysis. I do agree with all of your points. This was my first attempt at making a music video, and I have improved quite a bit since then, although I am still not where I would like to be. If you are interested, you are more than welcome to watch my other videos on my channel and give me your analysis of those as well. My video of "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" is probably one of my best ones.
God is going to destroy the idols of the nations high and lifted up on a flag pole, together with the idol worshippers. Idolatry is through the pledge of allegiance to the flag and anthem. When the nations play the anthem at the sound of music the nations stand on their feet and worshipped their idols of the flag with a song. The idol worshippers of the US, are serving the image of the star spangled of heaven. The idol worshippers of Israel, are serving the image of the star remphan of heaven. The idol worshippers of Canada, are serving the image of the maple leaf of the earth. The idol worshippers of Mexico, are serving the image of the eagle of the earth. The idol worshippers of Japan, are serving the image of the sun of heaven. God is against serving, or pledging, allegiance to objects, symbols, or images, in the likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the likeness of anything in the earth below [ Exodus 20:3-5 ] & [ Deuteronomy 4:15-19 ]
