Star Spangled Banner- A Different Treatment

Sung in a minor key. I had no idea what that meant, but he explained it in the introduction.


It sounds a hell of a lot more "singable" than the standard version.

  1. This needs to be laid over an end-of-American-empire video. So sad. It's already more than I can do to sing "land of the free and home of the brave" unironically.

    *or* - for a more hopeful ending he could switch to the major key at the end.
