We've done this one before, but I thought we'd listen to it again.

You may recognize the song from XXX: State of the Union.

I learned something, today.
Y'all may already know this, but even if you do, I think you'll enjoy hearing it again.

(The video goes for a little bit, before the singing starts.)

2d, I never heard that before. Is it something new?

I haven't researched it yet, but the way I understand it, it was another verse at the end of the original poem.

[2dumb2kwit]

I found this.

The Star Spangled Banner
(The Defense of Fort McHenry)
September 20, 1814
By Francis Scott Key

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, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' 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, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on 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 wiped out their foul footstep's 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.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[Pal334]

Thanks, I just have never heard it before. Learn something new every day

To continue Ricks Remebrance/ Veterans Day. This tune played by todays troops is the pinnacle of the Remembrance Sunday Parade at the Cenotaph in London.

This has to be the saddest, most uplifting and spiritual piece of music I know. Particularly when played by a Military band it adds such piognancy.

[Winnie]

Vevo say no! I can't watch it YCC.

[your_comforting_company]

Aww! It's a good one too W. So sorry!! It talks about war and love, and really a lot of things that apply to all those who've served us 'undeservings'.

Try a search for "The space between" and maybe you'll find a video, or at least get to listen to the song.
