Our National Anthem is sung a lot. Mostly by those with talent, but often by those who are brave enough to try. Sometimes in a public place the words are forgotten under pressure. Some don’t do justice to the song by trying to adapt it to their style of music.
We have our own taste in how this song should be sung. I have zero musical talent and I would never believe a hard rock group could sing our anthem with respect.
Here’s a version that moves me. It’s sung by a navy vet. I believe this group puts it all into this tape. See if you agree.
