They did an awesome job of it. I’m almost tempted to put it on my iPod. And I’m Canadian and tend not to like things with heavy symbolic meaning(especially when they don’t apply to me).
This is a great version for the new Millennium. Traditionalists will not agree but I think it will be popular to many. I AM Canadian and I LOVE CANADA but these guys ROCKED THE USA! We need to update our anthem and add a little passion to it too.
I am in the 60+ age range and have listened to this at least 4 times and each time it has grown more meaningful and I get goosebumps on my arms. Now the song has some spirit to it and that spirit should spread quickly!!! THANK YOU for posting that for us and reminding everyone why we are part of the USA and the history that formed us.
