| Sufjan Stevens – The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I feel like his rendition of this song is a critique of how our so-called patriotism, fueled by our apparent religiosity, gives us the feeling of just cause to go ahead and ruin other people's lives, and ours in the process. Yet it begins with the first verse of the US National Anthem, which details the beauty and poignancy of the birth of this patriotism. Wow. | |
