A music video including lyrics and historical context for John Philip Sousa's patriot march, "Stars and Stripes Forever". More Information and Sources Used: docs.google.co...
When I hear this song, I just fell so patriotic. I love my country so much, yes we have done some questionable things but the good outweighs the bad. I love the United States of America so much and nothing can change that.
Sousa's lyrics are even better than this butchered version. They changed " _let despots_ remember the day" to "all nations … " and "the _flag of Freedom's_ nation" to "the banner of our nation."
This is a wonderful video, because it shows the actual lyrics of the song, which have such a fine ring to them. Too bad these words aren't more widely sung.
Forget politics for just a second because I think it needs to be said just how amazing this song is just as a piece of music. The tempo changes, the falsettos, the crescendos. The song is so full and dynamic and Powerful. Also worth noting this version with the acapella/chorus really accentuates the power and emotion behind it. This might be one of my favorite songs ever
"During the day it's politics. But at 7pm we're friends putting our differences aside and asking each other, what's best for the country." - Tip O'Neill to Ronald Reagan
I remember my little sister singing this in 3rd grade! Then after high school I left and joined the navy and served as a corpsman of marines… they played this during our ceremonies and it reminded me of my little sister singing. I couldn’t have been any prouder to have served my country and do my duty to protect my country and family. Stars and Stripes Forever will always be my favorite hymn! Next to the Marine Corps Hymn because I was a Corpsman of Marine grunts.
The difference between America and other countries is that if you go to France, Britain, Germany you will not be a Frenchman, Brit or German, but if you come to America, you will be American.
@@last.atlantean totally agreed. People say America has social race issues and whatnot.

Wow I am blown away by this. Incredible thanks....I didn’t know the words to the whole song. No matter how much people disrespect and destroy our symbols, I will always remain a true patriot to the red white and blue. I love our country...may God be glorified in our land. Enough of the hatred.

So much power was given to this nation at its foundation by the Masters, yet has it used its power for good or evil? Let all Americans remember that responsibility is also one of the first duties of freedom!
Proud of the US? Well... Now, please check out these FACTS that are on the Web: In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confeds 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us. And the wars against the Native Nations of America either are not counted, for the same reason). Anyway: We fought against 29 countries. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies. Our economic, political and military development was established thanks to the Piracy, the Slavery, the Opium Traffic (And Cocaine too), and the Weakness of many abused sovereign nations. We have provoked with total impunity, 12 Genocides ‒inside and outside our own borders‒, and Assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1836 and 1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Palestine, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, in Kosovo, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: We have almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; We do... that's DONE, as we do in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is we who call the Iranians Terrorists. Do you still feel proud of US?
They aren't the original, Sousa's lyrics sound a lot better in my opinion Let martial note in triumph float And liberty extend its mighty hand A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers, The banner of the Western land. The emblem of the brave and true Its folds protect no tyrant crew; The red and white and starry blue Is freedom's shield and hope. Let eagle shriek from lofty peak The never-ending watchword of our land; Let summer breeze waft through the trees The echo of the chorus grand. Sing out for liberty and light, Sing out for freedom and the right. Sing out for Union and its might, O patriotic sons. Other nations may deem their flags the best And cheer them with fervid elation But the flag of the North and South and West Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation. Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, The gem of the land and the sea, The banner of the right.

As a massive Sousa fan, all I can say is that this is the worst thing you could possibly do to Stars and Stripes Forever. It's so forced, it made my ears bleed. It's literally a crime. Please stop. I don't want to live anymore.

IS THERE REALLY NO LYRIC RECORDING OF THE ONE WITH "LET MARTIAL NOTE IN TRIUMPH FLOAT"??!!
i love this song may stars and stripes run in my blood for ever
Andres what Choir is singing this GRAND song? It brings me to my knees, Hooray for the Red White and Blue!
Andres, Did you serve in the American Military? Vietnam? I Just wonder? SEMPER FI ..
You know semper fidellis only applies to the Marines.
I got a quick question where did this audio come from and where did it origin come from
idc if ur an american or not this song is epic
Absilutely love it, so special!
Who is performing? As far as I can tell, this is entirely acapella.
Why cant this be out national anthem? So much better
Its ever harder to sing than current one :D
How about we have 2 of them?
Some countries have 2 capitals, maybe we can have 2 anthems.
Spartan Goku yeah like one for peace and one for war or something
This is already our national march and the anthem and the match are in equal place holds
I love this song. Is USA my country, my flag. I'm proud to be American.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Choir: The Vocal Majority
I'm not even American but yeah, everytime I listen to this, it sets my heart into a happy mood. I'm probably an American in my past life. God bless USA 🦅🇺🇲
The Stars And Stripes Forever
Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand;
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true.
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and home.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
At the very end, it needs a screaming eagle. It would be the perfect finish for such a patriotic song
God bless the United States of America
Beautiful lyrics of a beautiful March of a beautiful country
🇺🇸❤️🙏🏻👍🏻❤️😊
I was expecting „look at the screen”
America might be doing bad with a pandemic but I will always love being part of this amazing country 🇺🇸
Holy shit, impressive singing
Spectacular!
“it’s the hope of the people’s now oppressed and the symbol of their own emancipation”
The 9 commies who disliked this
One Communist liked the video.
Commies, Nazis and Confederates we vanquish.
I'm commie but i like this
Common Sense and the British
More like 19
I hate how these lyrics have been largely omitted. The words are so deeply patriotic.
AN UNFORESEEN THREAT
We have been receiving reports of an unidentified hostile organism called alternates.
You’re so right, buddy!
That certainly makes more sense than “Be kind to your web-footed friends.”

Happy 4th of July!
4 DE JULHO ..SALVE!
God bless the United States of America the greatest nation in history of humanity
True that!
As postal fan I'll bring a hot gift to that singers
God bless America 😁
I cannot understand why every version of this song with lyrics is an acapella. Why has no one just done the march with lyrics voiced over it?
Have you still not found one with the march and lyrics?
@@kaiserwilhelm8029 You mean a chorial instead of an acapella? No I havent
If only my country was a US state
Come an join us my friend :)
Lot of people would disagree
@@dmitrishostakovich9559 what country are you from, just curious.
If you play this at 1,75X it's the Stars and Stripes forever from Fallout 3 Lmfao
As a massive Sousa fan, all I can say is that this is the worst thing you could possibly do to Stars and Stripes Forever.
It's so forced, it made my ears bleed. It's literally a crime.
Please stop. I don't want to live anymore.
I wonder what the stranded oil is for?
Standard oil was a company during the time the song was written
God bless America ❤
2:58 this part sounds off? But I LOVE this song❤❤ my son is graduating Navy boot camp next week!!!!❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓️🙌🏻🎊
This must be the anthem
HAIL COLUMBIA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅
Wut
The District of Columbia aka Washington D.C. the capital
@@One_Man_Band Columbia( Latin for land of Columbus) was a suggested name for the United States and Hail Columbia was an old patriotic saying and was the name of the first unofficial national anthem of the US.
Wish this was the usa's anthem
“All nations remember the day” and that’s a fact. 🇺🇸 The star and stripes forever!!
damn, that's cool
We give our lives for Stars and Stripes. God Bless the Great United States of America
This is The vocal majority 🎼
WOW !
“Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody’s mother…”
Where i can see list of the vocal majority chorus members?
Bass boosted version when
A jewel :)
Really? John D Rockefeller and Standard Oil?
Couldn't you find any pictures of John Brown (not the one that Kansas used on their album cover, painted by a Reb Traitor Sympathizer), or the Battle of Homestead?
Still American
@@williamsherman1942 howdy uncle billy
Wonderful video my kids love it 🥰
Were did you find the lyrics?
Good afternoon
Forever!!!
Unfurl the banner is stuck in my head
There's people out there that complain about their freedom and don't know what all these soilders went through
Bella canción es.
"The banner of the right. Let tyrants remember the day." Get the lyrics right.
America must strive to be the America that America thinks it is
I think lyrics were written after the music ...
Happy July 4.
Do you know that when a circus is in trouble this song is ALWAYS played?😊
Yeah, or when there’s an unforeseen threat of the supernatural kind!
Godsave America!!!
Wonderfull march, God bless United States patriots
