“If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory, down, down with the traitor” We need some of that right about now.

I'm 18 and I'm just now hearing the full anthem. This is something I should have heard hundreds of times before and not once.

That eagle's a great singer

What's sad is they never play the full song in school or sports :(

"if a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory" the most glorious indeed.

i teared up while listening to this, this country is beautiful

91 people are depressed and dont realize that the bad things that happen in the US happen in literally every other place on the face of the earth.

Disclaimer: Many imperialists were harmed in the writing of this song. Viewer discretion is advised.

What a wonderful anthem this truly is.... of a country so unique with its people so friendly and undaunted and with the most beautiful landscapes one can imagine... Although my heart is at home more northern,when this anthem appears it never fails to give me goose bumps. Thanks for posting. God bless.

I've never heard the full anthem and now I've finally heard it. They should play this full version of the anthem more often. Like at major sporting events.

Wish they would sing the whole song during events like the super bowl.

I feel like modern day America and many modern day Americans fail to live up to our national anthem

Long live the USA, from your old ally Chile!

I seriously didn't know this song had 4 stanzas instead of just one

Happy 4th of July everyone. God bless America.

I got in trouble at school for blasting this. No regrets

“Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile the flag of the stars and the page of her story!” Great version! I love the Civil War stanza! Although, this isn't the original full version it's as close as it's going to get.

Ignore the dislikes. Its the people who dont understand the patriotism in the song or what others have given to secure their freedoms.

“IN GOD WE TRUST” EVER SINCE 1959 has been our motto!!! NEVER SHALL WE LET OUR FREEDOM BE DESTROYED, NOR TAKEN AWAY!!!

Anyone else get chills every time this plays? 🇺🇸

Should we use the whole poem or just a few stanzas? Yes.

The most beautiful and meaningful national anthem. God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

Beautiful song from Japan. I managed to sing first verse. I love cool and brave lyrics like this.

I have never heard the additional lyrics. And I must say, there has never been a need greater to remember them as there is now. God bless the greatest country to ever bless the face of this good Earth.

I agree it mentions a fraction of a bar about slavery which was pre civil war, but as the country evolved modern lyrics were written mentioning the unchaining of millions, I’m so tired of people nit picking our anthem this is America’s history bad and good wrapped into a song, hate it or love but if the South had won! Imagine what all minorities would be dealing with….

I love this whole song

Hail, respect and admiration from Italy

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. God bless America

The United States of America is a young country born of a struggle to free itself from slothful tyrannical masters. As a British worker, a Christian, and a socialist I respect that. This is a wonderful anthem, God bless America.

For the people who hate America, Russia, etc. Seriousy? You are hating a country because of what it has been doing? We (Americans) fought for freedom, why cant they? Are we way to special for you guys to think that? Think baout how americans have fouth bloody wars lost so many familys, cryed just to have this county today. As we americans proudly sing this song, you guys can worry on your purposes instead of ours. Each country has their goddam problems.

Our national Anthem makes me so happy. Proud to an American and thanks to Irving Berlin. God bless America.

I am proud to be a American

The last part of this song should never be forgotten. "In God is our trust"

Can't imagine how the world would be without a great nation like the United States of Great America.... God bless our troops and the American people!!!

I listen to this song while playing World of Warships with American Ships

Hearing full song gives me tingles. We really should start using the full song

God bless America ..this video should get no dislikes but lots of likes,shares, positive comments ,etc.America ,dear America the land i love ..the land i care for and i say no one ..and i mean NO ONE will dishonor it...so God bless America ..the land i love :)

I wish the 4th verse was our national anthem instead of the 1st

Anyone who dislikes this video is a traitor to the land of the brave and shall never watch our anthem.If you want to dislike and leave bad comments don't even come listen to our anthem so don't bother...

People forget that “In God We Trust”

AMERICA!!!🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have never heard that third stanza verse. The third stanza with which I am familiar goes: "And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave, And the star spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." I like the one they did though. It would make a good substitution for the official one in light of the fact that we stopped singing it during the world wars to avoid insulting Great Britain who had become our ally at that time.

Regarding the controversy about the 3rd verse, this is from a Wikipedia article about the song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner "Absent elaboration by Francis Scott Key prior to his death in 1843, some have speculated more recently about the meaning of phrases or verses, particularly the phrase "the hireling and slave" from the third stanza. According to British historian Robin Blackburn, the phrase allude to the thousands of ex-slaves in the British ranks organized as the Corps of Colonial Marines, who had been liberated by the British and demanded to be placed in the battle line "where they might expect to meet their former masters."[10] Mark Clague, a professor of musicology at the University of Michigan, argues that the "middle two verses of Key's lyric vilify the British enemy in the War of 1812" and "in no way glorifies or celebrates slavery."[11] Clague writes that "For Key ... the British mercenaries were scoundrels and the Colonial Marines were traitors who threatened to spark a national insurrection."[11] This harshly anti-British nature of Verse 3 led to its omission in sheet music in World War I, when the British and the U.S. were allies.[11] Responding to the assertion of writer Jon Schwarz of The Intercept that the song is a "celebration of slavery,"[12] Clague said that: "The reference to slaves is about the use and in some sense the manipulation, of black Americans to fight for the British, with the promise of freedom. The American forces included African-Americans as well as whites. The term 'freemen,' whose heroism is celebrated in the fourth stanza, would have encompassed both."[13] Others suggest that "Key may have intended the phrase as a reference to the British Navy's practice of impressment (kidnapping sailors and forcing them to fight in defense of the crown), or as a semi-metaphorical slap at the British invading force as a whole (which also included a large number of mercenaries)."[14]"

That third stanza (technically the 5th stanza which was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes at the start of the civil war) is pretty chilling in its relevance to modern times.

Thank you Admiral for posting the full version. It's sad that so many people do not know there is more than 1 stanza to the National Anthem, and sadder still that when it is played at sporting events and other venues that the crowd does not salute the flag and sing along.

down down with the traitors!

Thank you for posting this song, for posting the album name in the description so I can FINALLY buy it, and especially for your service

So happy to have found that third stanza performed. It was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1861, relating to the start of the Civil War. Excellent performance! I have no patience for the modern foolishness that wants to expunge the original third stanza, "No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave" They don't realize that Key was mocking the British soldiers who had just been defeated.

Thank you for helping Ukraine. God bless Murica!

Even though I'm Canadian this is the best anthem.

Who else sheds tears while listening to this glorious song?

Happy St. Patricks day for People of Irish heritage and god bless america

Someone should create a petition to bring this back!

Happy Independence Day! God bless our founding fathers!

God bless America! 🇺🇸

Happy Independence Day 2019!

Happy Birthday to the greatest country on earth.

Greetings from Japan, Love this anthem it's so beautiful and touching. Very patriotic

The third verse has become very important right now, but people don't realize they exist.

Im Hawaiian black and American! But im more proud to be AMERICAN

This is the best version of the star spangled banner I've ever heard. I practicing singing all the verses.

Multiple love from India

I am a proud Hispanic-American. My paternal Grandparents were Apache, born in Texas. My maternal great grand-parents born in Mexico. From the line of French-indian. My grandmother was a child when they immigrated to Missouri. Her siblings born there and Cali.They learned English, attended school and college. Uncles served in the US military. My grandparents made a business and lived a good life as American Christians.The American dream.

When one understands the American Classical-Liberal doctrine and the actual Battle which prompted F.S. Key to write this poem, one understands the true depth these lyrics carry.

"If a for from within strikes a blow at her glory, down down with the traitor that dares to defile the flag of the stars and the page of her story"

I am not american, we were enemies. Your anthem is great, specially the fourth verse.

Yes no other country is great as America god bless it and all who served in the military my uncle died on the Normandy beach God bless

Look at all the people whining about how they took out the 3rd verse. Yeah, and?

I actually like the newer 3rd verse. Could be applicable once again in the near future.

Better than Canada's anthem no matter what John Green says 👪👪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I don't like how they changed the third verse. It's not even racist. This song was written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. It is just talking about how in the War of 1812 the British used German Hessians and kidnapped American seamen and forced them to work on British man of war ships, which was called impressment. The war of 1812 had nothing to do with slavery; it was because the British would not surrender their western forts as promised in the Treaty of Paris. There was a long conflict and eventually, the British started to block the U.S. form trading with them. The British also stopped American ships and forced the American seamen to work for them, like I stated earlier.

We need this anthem more than ever

I desire to be a member of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave

The third verse sang in this is actually an alternate verse from the civil war

Thank you for posting this magnificent rendition of that amazing song. I had never heard that third verse. How fitting to today's America it is. I have 15 grandchildren, and every one of them are going to listen to this.

They include God in this song but now days God isn't even welcomed in our country anymore. This country ain't what it used to be, so I will say this and I don't care how many liberals I offend, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for playing the whole song! God bless America.

Happy Fourth of July!

We have the BEST national anthem in the world!!! I was watching the olympics and thought I'd look up the lyrics, as they showed one of the US athlletes getting a gold medal and I had no idea that there were three other awsome verses! I used to thing why does our national anthem end in a question? Turns out it doesn't! We should sing the full version ALL THE TIME!!! :D

Thank You For Including The Last Verse It's So Rarely Heard .

For the greatest country under god's might, I pledge my full allegiance to a country of opportunity and idea that everyone is truly free.

United States of America, today you did Excellent. You set an example to the world on equality regardless of different in Sex and colors. Much respect!

I love my country so much! Every morning I wake up and listen to this song before starting the day! I then listen to the america F yeah song in the evening! In the middle of the day, I listen to both songs! That's how much I love America!

The GOP CONVENTION should have this sung at the beginning of each night --ALL 4 VERSES!!!!! For sure, it would NEVER go at next week;s Dem Convention

Damn when I went to school we had this in school every morning and every evening Also had church every afternoon in school priorities are gone from our country 😢🇺🇸

I think what people need to understand is that if a poem/song was written many years ago under completely different circumstances, obviously the parts that are inappropriate today will be left out, and that does not take away from the beauty of the National Anthem as we know it today, and the story, the main story, about the flag still standing and the English defeated, and Americans standing up for themselves and therefore remaining/gaining freedom is something we also now in 2016 can relate to and always will be able to relate to. Sure, if you want to keep digging after negativity from the past, it is not a nice story, but for heaven's sake, it's the same as saying the the German people born today are all nazis because of the bad doings years ago by Hitler. Be positive, look ahead and not back at things we cannot change, and remember that our flag represents bravery and commitment, for all Americans, and I mean ALL Americans, because even alluding to races and skin colors is meaningless since this country is populated with people with backgrounds of every country in the world. What we also need to remember is that there are natives of this country, who were here first, before any of us others, so now that it is at it is, let's live in peace and pride and treat each other with respect, looking forward and not backwards!

You know, I love this song... In it's entirety... *ALL* it's verses... And to those complaining about those parts that refer to "slaves"... The term "slave" has been taken so far out of context... Slave: (verb); to slave; to serve; ex: "I slaved all day in the kitchen to make this meal" Slave: (noun) a servent; one who serves; a worker or employee; a follower; ex: a slave (servant to god)... So you see, we are are *ALL* "slaves" in some way or another... Do you have a job working for a boss of sorts? You are a "slave" to that employer... Hell, we are *ALL* "slaves" to the government... All the "DOs" and "DON'Ts" we must follow, you know... And the "slaves" refered to in this song referred to the Americans held captive by the British army (or visa versa)... Considering the history, this song is a very powerful, and beautiful song... Love you all... Stay safe and God bless, whoever and wherever you may be...

Happy fourth of july 2016 for everybody !!! God bless America.

yo, Dawg, I heard you like your National Anthem, so I put an anthem in your anthem, so you can liberty while you freedom.

Thank you for posting. God bless you and yours. (salute)

lets see... this was posted in... 2012, this whole "National anthem is racist" crap was made more aware of this year, and yet people think this is an edit to make it seem like we aren't racist... maybe they changed the lyrics because *it was* racist? Just a little thought to put in your minds. I for one, shall stand by our anthem and our flag. "In God is our trust!"

this made cry it's so beautiful

Love it! Thanks for posting.

Happy fourth.

From a U S Marine, if you thumbs down people don’t love my America? Get out! Oohrah

This is the best thing I’ve heard in a long time!! So touching and beautiful!

I memorized this in 1st grade and now I forgot everything..

What a truly beautiful song people who say other wise are angry liberals

The “Star Spangled Banner” was ordered to be played at all sporting events by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. A paper was later signed by President Herbert Hoover after World War I to accept the order that all sporting events must play the “Star Spangled Banner” before every contest via the first stanza.

The third verse here is NOT the one written by Francis Scott Key. When Key wrote verses 1 and 2 in 1814, "millions" i.e. African American slaves, had not been "unchained" and wouldn't be until 1865. The verse here was supposedly written by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. at least fifty years later.
