Knights Reborn

Okay, so I forgot to mention that I would be scarcely on during exams, so yeah...... but while I was studying for exams, i came across an essay in my english book dealing with good alternatives to the Star-Spangled banner as the American national anthem. One of them was the theme from Hawaii Five-0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwhvByj8YG8). This got me thinking.... If you could decide a national anthem (doesn't have to be USA), what would it be?

mine would be this:

Second thing. While looking for that theme song, I found a playlist called "Music for doing epic things" or something like that. Here's my "epic things" soundtrack.

Bruce Springsteen - Land of Hope and Dreams

it's a long song, and he only performed it live until recently when he released a studio version, but it sort of embodies the American spirit I think.

Well I started this with one song but got a lil carried away...

This is a good one for the National Anthem in the spirt of yesterday (which was Memorial Day in case you missed it):

Audra Mae - Forever Young (Bob Dylan cover)

If you ask me, that song is one of the few times that a cover far surpasses the original.

This is an interesting choice as well:

Seether - Truth

As far as Epic, you can never go wrong with:

The Riddle of Steel:

Or, of course, Carmina Burana I. O Fortuna:

Or perhaps the best single minute of music:

Or, finally, the pre Obama USMC:

As opposed to post Obama USMC:

i cant decide on this,thinking of a song that would be fit for the job.

Meh, idk why, a National Anthem put this song in my head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU9JoFKlaZ0&ob=av3n mainly the video part...it always makes me sad D:

Other than that I know alot of epic music...
