Anthems


Almost United

On the bottom of this page you can see some visitor activity of my blog. It’s always nice to see visitors around and I want to thank you all with some great music. It always comes in handy to recognize some anthems. Some (most) even give you some goose-flesh. I blogged about anthems before, because it gives you some ‘gut feeling’ about the countries and cultures. No fooling around this time with the Sex Pistols or Jimi Hendrix.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand up for the national anthem of:

USA Anthem, “Star Spangled Banner”
Dutch Anthem, “Het Wilhelmus”
German Anthem (new), “Das Deutschlandlied”
German Anthem (old), “Die Fahne Hoch”
Canadian Anthem, “Oh Canada”
Italian Anthem, “Fratelli d'Italia”
Belgian Anthem, “La Brabançonne”
UK Anthem, “God Save The Queen”
French Anthem, “La Marseillaise”
Chinese Anthem, “March of the Volunteers”
Russian Anthem, “Beautiful Version”
Brazilian Anthem, “With A Great Flag”
Indian Anthem, “by Rahman & Artists”
Japanese Anthem, “Kimi Ga Yo”

Sorry, I forgot about 283 other countries.
All replies are very welcome.

Enjoy
