- "Fourscore and seven years ago..." Have you always wanted to memorize the Gettysburg Address? This Gettysburg Address song can help! Just sing along to the lyrics, and you'll be able to memorize our Gettysburg Address song fast and with ease! And the next time you're hanging out with family and friends, you'll be able to proudly say, "Gettysburg Address? Yeah... I memorized that." Happy memorizing!
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Thank you this helped me study
Thanks 🙏
Zoe Sheakley no problem! I needed it myself, so I figured I'd help everyone else out who needed it too.
Monique Castelli thanks 💙💙
Monique Castelli bless up homie
Thank you so much for this!! We have tried and failed to memorize The Gettysburg Address… we need this song!! We all love the arrangement so much. Very powerful. Very touching. THANK YOU.
Am a Filipino. In school we were made to recite this Gettysburg Address one by one in front of the class!
Same and I have to stand on my chair 💺 😮
I have less than 24 hours to memorize this My teacher gave me a second chance and cuz of this song I memorize it thank you so much
I used this in elementary to memorize the Gettysburg Address. Absolute life saver🙏 also very nostalgic listening to this 4 years later🤧
LOVE that! Thanks for being an early listener of I Memorized That!

My 10 year old was memorizing this speech for class and this song helped her so much. We listened to it on repeat all week and her three siblings and myself have all been singing it. She gave her speech yesterday, and in the afternoon, as they were working on homework, they continued to play this video. Excellent work!
YAY! Family singing is our FAVORITE! So glad to hear it's been pleasant to listen to for y'all
Fun fact: If you listen to this enough times while sleeping, it'll eventually implement itself into your subconscious. Where you're more likely to remember it for a longer time! Of course, this would take about a week of doing this every night. Not exactly a week, a little less than that, although it's a very good strategy if you have the time.
yup
Not in deep sleep, your brain tunes sound out, only during light stages and when your in between sleep and awake you'll hear it
Copier
I got like 5 hours to memorize this, and I need to recite it tomorrow and do math hw and study for a big math test, the power of procrastination 😊
darn because I have to have this memorized by tomorrow 😭
I have to know this by tomorrow this is the best
Wow same!

We have loved listening to and learning the Gettysburg address thanks to this awesome song!
This is so beautiful and the music is well written and suits the speech. You guys did an amazing job. Could you maybe do I have a dream speech? I know it's fairly long, but if you did a shortened version it would still work!

Our whole school Memorized That with you as a surprise for their parents for the end-of-the-year program. THANK YOU! What a gift to the parents... and to our children (Kinder-4th graders). We all have loved it.
Sorry for the late reply... but we absolutely LOVE hearing this! So awesome!
I love this song so much! I just finished memorizing this and this song really helped. The Gettysburg Address is so powerful and meaningful. I’m so grateful for the freedoms we have as Americans and all those who worked and fought so bravely to obtain those freedoms.
So glad to hear President Lincoln's words really impacted you through this song, Rachael! Thank you for the comment!
facts
Four years ago I had to learn this and I listened to this song to learn it. Fours years later I can recite this entire song like the back of my hand. This song saved my ass 4 years ago 😭
We love that you loved it! Thank you for listening and singing along!
Homeschooling dad here. I memorized the 1st 3rd to get a jump start on my kids before I assigned it to them. They had it down in 3-4 days , totally passed me up as I’m still learning. Great Job putting this all together. These are the principles I want my kids to know
Jim - homeschool dad to homeschool dad - that means a lot! What a joy to hear that your kids are learning such important principles and values in text like this! Thank you for taking the time to comment - best wishes to you and your family!
Jim, we'd be honored to feature your comment here as a testimonial quote on our website. Would that be ok with you?
@@IMemorizedThat - I'd be honored.
For everyone who disliked this video you should have shame these people have put in so much effort. They memorised it and it really does help. I really dont understand why it was so bad it was an amazing redo of the Gettysburg Address.
This song was so powerful! Our family is memorizing this. Thank you so much for doing this. Let's spread the fire of freedom and gratitude for our nation.
Thank you, Kimberly! Glad it has been helpful for your family!
I only know till 1:36 and I have a test on this tomorrow and it’s 11:19 pm
I know the first ten seconds and I fail a class if I don't say it tommorow and it's 11:22

My history teacher played this as a joke and now our class has become addicted. We listen to it in MATH CLASS now. Like, tf!?
This is legit one of the most entertaining comments I've read! LOL! Props to your history teacher, you and your classmates!
And the math teacher.
Yep lol
Same lol
I have to memorize it in 7 th next year for me in Pennsylvania time
Love this. Started tearing up. And lived it even more when I heard it was just you and your family! What a blessing.
Aww, thank you! We hope our music not only helps people memorize, but also blesses them on the inside!
Amazing. My 10 year old was struggling to remember for a school project - after two days of listening to this and singing along, he's almost got it down!! And he asked me to share with his friends so they could learn, too!
Thanks for mentioning this! So glad it helped your 10-year old and hopefully his friends!
was it the great American challenge
Even my 3yr old has this beginning memorized. So awesome! We would love to request Martin Luther King Jr. speech "I Have a Dream!"
Woo-hoo! 3 year old? That's amazing! Work has already begun on a Martin Luther King, Jr. "I Have a Dream" song! 😉
Same it’s isssss soooo goooooood

This song has been powerful in experiencing this event. Truly moving and emotional connecting the knowledge with the heart. We have learned some wonderful songs to memorize different things but this goes beyond that and is a reminder of the greater picture we are apart of and what has come before us. Thank you. We would love powerful songs like this on scripture, exactly how it is written like you did this song.
Simple picture and words on the screen were extremely helpful and added to the presentation. Amazing voices too!
Thanks so much for those kind words, Marci! So encouraging. We actually have written some Bible verse / scripture songs on our "Truth Songs" RUclips channel - feel free to check it out 🙂
Marci Dutile, yes!
Only Jesus can save tho babes
@@IMemorizedThat I'm a Christian. I will go to it.
This song has been on repeat in our home for 10 days. My daughter has now recited it by heart, and because of this song, my interest in Lincoln has been piqued. I loved watch documentaries about him. Homeschooling has heightened my interest in history in a way I never knew. It has lit a fire in me! Thank you for your genius work. We love your channel!❤❤❤
This comment is SO KIND! Thank you for the encouragement that spurs us on to do more in the future!
It would be perfect if the video were 3:30 long. I would loop the video all day for my students. Thanks by the way.
I memorized and LOVE THE SONG!!!
Thank you so much I got an A+ on the Gettysburg Address because of this song! Thanks for making it I love it! I passed the test but I still listen to the song at home
So excited to find this as my kids are memorizing this great speech. I love that it puts the words to music but retains the sense of a serious battlefield speech.
dont care
I have to memorize this by Thursday and this is helping.
Glad it helped!
Due in less than 24 hrs kill me

Those are really kind words, Kory! Thank you!
I had to memorize this for school.I knew the whole thing in an hour because of this.this is a very catchy and addictive song. Thanks for making this.
I teach fourth grade and every year this is the song I teach my students. We love it! Thank you for making this amazing piece of history come alive!
I have a test next week and if we want extra 10 points for the test we have to memorize this and we don’t get partial credit and I’m in 7th grade

So my college Literature teacher is offering extra credit to anyone who memorizes the Gettysburg Address. I've already memorized all the countries/capitals of the world and the presidents of the united states by listening to a catchy song over and over again, so here goes. Thank you for making this, by the way!
lol this song is legendary in my student gov
Totally don’t need to know this in 2 days 👀
Edit: I did this yesterday and I feel like I did really good on my test! It wouldn’t of happened if not for this song.
I watch this in my class almost every day 😢 reminds me of the sacrifices that they did to save us from slavery.
We memorized this awhile back and just shared it today for someone visiting Gettysburg. Love the music put to the words.
My kids were required to memorize the Gettysburg address for school. This video was part of our evening study routine . It helped so much ! Very well done! We memorized that!
I have to memorize this too.

@@champion15O6O9 tip: listen to the song while you sleep.
@@stephenishulk4945 does it actually help?
Our teacher made us memorize this too
Also I need to add that I NEVER comprehended the actual words of the Gettysburg address until this. I needed the music to actually understand it and make the needed connections. And to actually think deeply on its meaning also...Thank you!
Tbh, this song helped me a lot in memorizing. We've got 1 week to memorize a speech, and I only had the urge to start memorizing 2 days before we come back to school. I listened to this song, sang along with it although I only mumbled the other words. I don't know why but the day before schoolday, I memorized it perfectly. Now, as I watch this video, I'm very proud that I can sing along to this without looking at my piece or even looking at the comment section for time stamps. Thanks to this song, I managed to get a high grade💜
We are proud of you too, Eulah! Sorry it's taken so long for us to comment on this, but WAY TO GO on memorizing the entire song and getting a high grade!
I'm so surprised to see a reply from the channel 😭 Really, thank you so much, this song helped in boosting my grade in our English subject and have also impacted me very much, it's a really good song !!
P.S: I almost sang the song instead of reciting the actual speech a year ago :'))
@@sequoiapiphany I'm sure if you sang it, it would've been awesome!
wews lodi
My 6 year old has memorized the entire Gettysburg Address, most of it by this video. I’m a historian & soooo proud! She is now using ‘I Memorized That’ to memorize the Presidents, something I did when I was little (but I had to use an encyclopedia!).
That is just the best! Is your 7-year-old still memorizing different things? Would love to know what new songs might help her as she continues to grow!
I need to remember this all for extra credit, so I put it on whenever, and right now I'm listening to it while doing hw for a different subject ;-;
me too 10 points ist it

Super song
When I first learned I had to recite the Gettysburg Adress I was so frustrated. Now I'm super thankful because after learning this song, it became THE BEST SONG EVER. So glad I was able to discover it. I still listen to it frequently. It's actually a banger after you learn the Gettysburg Adress from it.
This is SO encouraging to hear! Thank you for the kind words, loved hearing how it was helpful to you!
This is AMAZING! AWESOME job to you and your family. I appreciated your explanation at the end to know we can look for other songs too. THANK YOU for your talented work!
Thank YOU for the kind words and the encouragement! We aim to create more songs!
I’m in fifth grade I have to do the Gettysburg for great American. wish me luck!!

Amazing job! My 7yo son and 9yo daughter chose this speech for their poem recitation night at school... this was a huge help! Beautifully done.
How awesome is that! Way to go to your son and daughter for performing so well! Woo-hoo!
Would it be ok if I used your comment here as a testimonial on our website?
My 5th grade music students are learning about the civil war in their ELA class. This is perfect to teach them one of the most poignant moments in history! Thank you!
That is awesome Amaree! Sorry it took so long to respond to your comment, but it brings us joy to know it helped your students. Out of curiosity, what other things are they learning about in 5th grade? Wondering if there are other songs we could create to enrich their learning
You guys are doing great! I hope you make more speech songs!
I think i have been addicted to this… just because of the voice and vocals… there mesmerizing..
Wonderful!! This was such a fun, meaningful way for my daughter to memorize this speech. It helped her earn The Great American Award this year. Thank you so much!
WOOHOO! SHE DID IT!!! Just made our day to hear that it helped her earn her award, Megan! Keep up the great parenting ;)
super fun song and a creative way to learn! we love learning through songs. excellent sound and recording quality too.
This is so well done!! The tune is so catchy without being annoying. The musical accompaniment is masterfully done. The video editing with the word is so well put together. Thank you for all your hard work!
Rowena! Thank you for taking the time to list out the things you appreciated about the video. Literally made my day! More songs on the way!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! How beautiful this rendition is.
I memorized this in 5th grade at Warsaw Christian School (1981-82), but to a different tune. I think our music teacher write the score.
Though I may need a little prompting for the most part I have never forgotten these beautiful words.
Thanks 🙏🏻 I need it memorized by April 11th

I had 2 weeks to study(I did not study at all until today Saturday 11:05)and it is Saturday 11:05 pm and I have this test on Monday, I’ll update how much I’ve listened to this on Sunday morning and on Sunday night. I’ll also update my test score! Wish me luck.
I had started studying a small bit b4 1105 so I’m sorry for putting that time, it is now 11: 30. I have studied for 31 minutes 30.93 seconds
Its sunday night and i listened to this for 3 hours and 24 minutes today. Wish me luck in my test tomorrow,
I got a 50/51 so i got an A on the test!!! This helped a lot and sorry i did not reply earlier i had forgotten.
@@Julianalovescats great i loved it too!
Thank for all the updates! YOU DID AMAZING! Sorry for the delay in replying. You should be proud of yourself on getting an A! So glad that the song helped!
I haven't read that since I was in 5th grade when I probably had to memorize it, my roommate's father had a turn-of-the-century Gettysburg Address embossed in the whole nine yards by the first lithographic publisher. When I heard the singing it brought incredible life and meaning more than just a chanted address.
🇺🇸
So glad it came alive for you, Frederick! Lincoln spoke such meaningful and profound words!
I love this so much!! It has helped me so much, and even my teacher had been playing it in class! Please do the Preamble next!! Also I subscribed!!👍🏻👍🏻
Y’all are so talented!!
My daughter memorized Flanders Fields (Where Poppies Grow) last year, and I think it could be a really beautiful piece for y'all to do!
Thank you for this suggestion, Laura! I'm putting it on our list!
Bro, this song is like actually FIRE❤🔥💥
Real bru
This song really helped me for 5th Grade Great American Challenge and I have a test for the third paragraph tomorrow so I've been listening to this all morning. When I did the first two paragraphs I succeeded all because of this song! 💟
In the words on Abraham Lincoln, “this shit bumpin!”
very true
Thank you so much, I was able to pass my exam with a 100 on the Gettysburg address because of this song. I was able to memorize everything in less than 2 days, this really helps if you are trying to memorize this whole thing.
YAY! Way to put in the hard work and acing that exam! So thrilled the song helped you out!
This was so well done!! Your phrasing captured a poetry in the Gettysburg Address that I never even realized was there! I really liked your melody, too-- it was pretty and had enough repetition to make it easy to learn, and the build/crescendo was powerful imo. The voices were pitch perfect and the words were sung clearly, so they were easy to understand. My only critique would be that it would be helpful for the written lyrics to come in a half beat sooner-- they're sometimes a hair too late to be helpful for the learner. Thank you for sharing this gift! It truly captures the beauty of Lincoln's speech, and sounds like a labor of love!
Thank you for this comment! It means a lot because we try to make the text come alive musically in a way that honors and matches the text. Yes - we agree that the lyrics should come sooner, so we're going to keep that in mind for future videos. Again, thanks for the encouragement!
Very,very emotion .Adonai Bless you .
Thank you for saying that, Fernanda!
can you make an hour version of this so I don't have to keep going back and restarting it? fire song good job just a suggestion

This video is incredible and so powerful that it makes me cry! I cannot believe you have been able to bring to life for me this part of history in a way that nobody has ever done for me before! My homeschooled children are memorizing it without me saying that they had to! Thank you!
I agree
This is one of THE BEST compliments we could have received! Thank you so much, Lisa!
@@IMemorizedThat You are welcome, and I mean it! I get all choked up and emotional whenever I hear this song played. And we've played it a TON of times! We also played it in our earphones when we went on a family field trip to the Lincoln Memorial. Your song made our experience powerful and breathtaking! I wish we could have had everyone at the Memorial that day HEAR it! Just this week, I suggested your song to a magician who performs an act that brings history alive in local school. He said he will investigate finding out if he is permitted to use it in his show, as he wants to be sensitive to copyright laws. So he might be contacting you! I eagerly sent him the link to this video. I'm like your personal PR person!! :)
This is a terrific song! Thank you so much. My 5th grade class is memorizing it and inserting it into our history faire about the Civil War.
Thank you, Therese! Glad it's helping your kids!
i dont remeber asking
perfect... (plotting smile) this will do well for my... (dramatic pause) assignment. seriously though this is exactly what was looking for thanks
This is helping me so much for my history test!! Thank you so much and keep up the AMAZING work I memorized the whole first two paragraphs in five minutes!!!
i tear up everytime i hear this and realized i did not learn this as a child but our 2nd grader is! thank you to the creator !
I thought this was pretty cool. It kinda added an intensity to the speech that felt fitting. Gonna listen again. I have it printed from a trip to PA. I’m in the process of getting it professionally framed. I felt if I was gonna hang it in my home I should re-memorize . This was helpful. Thanks. Subscribed

This helped me soo much!! I learned the whole thing in just 6 days!!!! Thank you for doing this❤️
Need more, they are so good. Thank you to you and your family.
Suggestion of a piece to memorize:
The CCM TIMELINE, many of us homeschoolers would love to use it, over and over and over again! Just like this one!
Jeness, sorry this is a late comment, but that is a great suggestion! Do you have a link to the CCM timeline you're referring to? I'd love to look at it. Also, shout out to a fellow homeschool parent!
I like your channel, you can do more songs that mid and high school students need to recite.
Great recommendation!
This is the best song ever! You need to do more!!!! Please!!!! This is sooooooo good!!!
I love it so much thank you so much for telling about the song
You're welcome!
