Sends chills. Haunting.
The Great Task remains.
Millions have died for Democracy.
This makes us feel good for Harris-Walz.
Our next 47th POTUS and VPOTUS.
Beautiful. Gods speed to the US from Sweden. Always with you in freedom.
Be careful. This show is a trick. It was a free concert with free food, put on by the communistic dem party as a harris rally, to falsely show she can draw a crowd. I bet his career is finished starting now. It is very rare that you will find a star from the entertainment industry who does not support communism, knowingly or unknowingly.
And from the Philippines. Am very glad that the best of the American spirit is being revived.
Thank you
Thanks for the support. :) In case the historical context of the song is lost to any non-Americans, this wikipedia page summarizes things: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Cry_of_Freedom
@@HypnotizedSF Know it fondly, they use it well in Lincoln (movie).
Oh we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And we'll rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
The Union forever, hurrah! boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, we rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Oh we're springing to the call for three hundred thousand more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million freemen more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although he may be poor, he shall never be a slave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom;
And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love the best,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
& dig the "y'all" for "boys"
This song with some old imagery and old vocabulary yet seems so futuristic
THIS!!!!!
Union war songs hit so hard in these turbulent times.
Don’t you guys burn flags? Quite weird that she would play a song dedicated to it. Gross
What a wonderful choice, and beautifully sung!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅kinda like when Roseanne Barr sang the National Anthem ? At least they didn't spit on the ground afterwards .
@@SaraGrant-xj4lrRoseanne Barr is the typical MAGA maniac.

This brought me to tears…. Never going back!! Vote blue for our democracy! 💙🇺🇸
My entire family is voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in NC. 🇺🇸🔵
Nice!! North Carolina is in play now! Sending you best wishes from Colorado.
Same here, NC resident. Let's get it done!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
God bless you all 🙏
Tears ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
This is the rendition I’ve heard. Plaintive. Soulful. Weary yet determined. Rally one more time. Finish the job.
"Finish the job"
As if they aren't going to vote for the next shithead, and the one after that, and the one after that ad infinitum
Walz is everybodys Favorite Uncle!!!

We are taking the flag back from MAGA. Harris/Walz for a better America and all who love it!❤🤍💙
They can keep all the ones they defaced.
Make them own that the Confederate flag they love so much was a traitor slaver's flag.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙
Serious question though. How come democrats say they love their country once every four years, and the other three calling it racist, other countries better,threatening to leave it, and flying flags other than the USA?
I'm happier than I'd ever thought I'd be to take the American flag back as something that represents ALL of us. I've spent too long seeing the Stars and Bars flown alongside the Confederate flag on the back of trucks with a Trump banner in the mix. They stole our flag and made it a symbol of hate and division when it should be for all of us.
💙💙💙THE UNION FOREVER!!!! 💙💙💙
When I initially heard this, it really affected me... It went around in my head every day for a week. I felt I was taken back in time, to the Civil War. Long live the Union! America strong! Tim Walz positively loves this group!
I've been waiting for this moment
Thanks for sharing this beautiful song!!!
Definitely nice to NOT see a confederate flag waving. VOTE BLUE AMERICA!!! From the top of the ticket to the bottom, VOTE BLUE! Our Democracy and our way of life depends on it!💙💙💙
I've never seen a confederate flag. The American flag is where it's at! Vote RED
@@bye92We don't want your American flag with tRump in gold letters on it nor your corrupted version of the National Anthem sung by Jan.6 coup coups.
@@bye92in houston you see them all the time sadly
You don't have a clue about the confederate flag ! And why does kamala say the exact same thing rallie after rallie !
@@kevinwilson3029 Oh yea you’re right its state’s rights
to slavery 😂
To the Campaign...have American talent on display at EVERY RALLY. These are our Rallies, for our freedom
This needs to be loudly heard at OUR National Democratic Convention. " The Battle Cry of Freedom"
this needs to be the anthem of the campaign and be a central moment at the dnc
The Republicans freed the slaves I thought ?
And although there may be poor, not a man shall be a slave, shouting the battle cry of freedom
Humming the “Battle Cry of Freedom” all damn day
Of course, understanding that lots of future Americans wouldn’t have rights for many many years after that song was written, but the thesis of it is beautiful.
The hope of this nation. Freedom.
I love that progressives are taking that word back.
No no! You haven't been listening. It's "fweedom" according to KH. 🤣
@@yessireebob9306Thats a pretty common pronunciation
Who can feel the change in the air? Who can feel the joy? Who can feel the sharp contrast from the other side. Be free, be happy, choose freedom vote 💙
Sing this at every rally, it's beautiful and fits in today's time
@@troylee3179 or sing Dixieland. That was a blue tune.
Have always loved this man's voice. Thank you, my brother.
Thank you for playing this song!
Kamala and Walz for the WIN
So beautiful and moving !!!what a great atmosphere,!!!!
I have heard this before, beautifully done made me cry!
Tim Walz reminds me of my late husband. Honest, kind, loyal and trustworthy. Yes. I am all in for the Harris Walz team.
Honest? Did your husband also lie about military service and IVF treatments? 😂
dems need to make this the anthem of their campaign
I love this…so cool.
OMG The HARRIS Team needs live entertainment like this at all her stops. Treat the crowds to real live performers, I'm sure thousands would step up to this challenge. #HARRIS/WALZ2024 Vote Democrat for the Women in your lives.💎💎💎💎💎
Absolute chills with this version. 🔥

Love bon iver thank you darlings
This needs a full church choir at the inauguration!! Make America Free Again!
I just been smiling and laughing for the last week. What the heck is going on where’s the doom and gloom we were used to?
I am voting for Harris Walz in November.
The Union is united by God and the people! May we prevail! 🇺🇸
Perfect!!!!!! Just perfect
For Lincoln and Liberty! Long live the Union!

A touching a beautifully appropriate reminder that history repeats itself, and our generation must respond.
Exactly. We defeated the Soviet Union yet its criminality has returned in the Harris/Walz ticket. Supporting socialism and calling for vastly increased powers of the unelected and unaccountable powers over the People is the brutal ANTITHESIS of Our Constitution.
You weaklings won't do sh**
Good luck America ❤
There is hope in the universe.

I haven't felt so good in a long, long, time ... yes, no confederate flags, no Nazi nonsense, no empty-headed bragging, no lies ... it's good to be a patriot ... time to reclaim the flag and raise the standard of hope.
Lincoln was Republican 😂
@@Yukonandy2000Good for Lincoln.
That song of less than two minutes spoke more about our country 🇺🇸 than Trump’s two hour rally 🥱

Learn these lyrics people! Sing it aloud.
Gave me chills.
Such a beautiful & moving rendition... ❤
seems like there's a certain segment of the population that can't seem to find joy in anything, or always has the pessemistic outlook. just for once, let yourself feel some joy. it's been a long 10-15 years but for the love of god let's feel some joy again.
I just believe with my whole heart that Kanala Harris will win in November as our first Black South East Asian women President
Haven't heard this guy before. Reminds me of neil young.
I have loved this song since I was a a kid
this gave me tears
“Down with the Trumpers, up with the stars!!!”
This should be the campaign song for Harris/Walz.
WELCOME KAMALAMERICA🌴🌴

Awesome and I love the full version too!
Wou,d Love to Hear it Shouted
Thank you! Beautiful!
This is so touching.
Harris needs to open every campaign event with this song. (Not this version though). This rendition was much too somber and pensive. It needs to be a stirring and rousing rendition.
This brings tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to reclaim the flag in the name of freedom and equality.
This is everything.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Here‘s the new chorus for the Harris-Walz campaign:
The Union forever! We‘re not going back!
We’ll trump the traitor, up with the star.
While we rally round the flag, friends, rally once again,
Voting, we will defend our freedom! 💙🇺🇸
More of this please.
Well boys, play it like a marching song, not a funeral dirge! The lyrics tell the story and the history.
Brings me back to being a kid on the couch carefully watching Ken Burns Civil War.
Love this.
Amazing voice!!!
DEFINITELY should be the Battle Song of the Democrats....LOVE IT!!

This is really good stuff
This instantly touched me and makes me feel positive for the future. Freedom is everything, such
a refreshing tone change from doom and gloom rights uncertainty alternative.
Like when you were locked in your house for two years by your government?
I love this version of this song! I haven’t heard it since grade school and I don’t usually listen to country (except Dolly and Johnny) but this was very moving. Beautifully done.
Edit: I guess it’s “indie rock” and not country but it still makes me love my country.

Well acquainted with the song, but only know the singers name from an Alex Jones montage. It was the wrong singer to use because that montage is so much better.
💯% facts 🥴
Love Bon Iver and Walz.
❤❤❤❤❤😢
I do not condone violence, and I think this song is about channeling frustration into a positive vision for the future that is inclusive and uplifting and unifying toward a cool purpose of improving all of our lives and not hurting anyone. I hope that nobody takes this too far and gives in to base impulses. Let's keep it civil, let's keep it POSITIVE. We want a better future for everyone, and want everyone in the BIG TENT! Let's make policy TOGETHER! As Stan Marsh once sang "Come on everybody, be people now!"
