    Why oh why isn't this our national anthem? Musically and lyrically it is so vastly superior to The Star Spangled Banner, it boggles my mind.

      The Star Spangled Banner tells of the colonists refusing to surrender to a Flotilla of over 300 British war ships. America the Beautiful tells us that we have purple mountains. Tough call..

      @@andrewkoledin6951 I would rather have an anthem that isn't purely based around violence. Also, Star Spangled Banner is completely secular. In America The Beautiful we ask for God's blessing.

      The Star Spangled Banner is the only anthem in the world that asks a question. Are we still there? And the answer everyday is a defiant YES

      @@rightinthedome9973 Granted, your point is solid but to me, as one who has sung it for decades and three years as first with the Third Armored Division back in the day, musically, this is one of the weakest of all national anthems.

    One day, hopefully, this will be the official US National Anthem. 100% American Patriot here, but geez, the Star Spangled Banner is a *terrible* song. This song - in particular, this arrangement - is a much better example of what we can do as a country.
