3. You know...
I kind of agree.

I've never been terribly fond of the war tones in the song.

But it is the National Anthem, and it is overplayed (at Sports games)...

Even though I don't like the wording of the song too much, it still causes feelings of patriotism in me. Strong feelings. Especially the last line.


I like the wording of Oh Beautiful a lot better (except for the religion), but don't care much for the sound of it.

Maybe there are other suggestions for synchronized singing. I think it would be good fun, were I going.
