Star spangled banner

I’ve always liked The Star Spangled Banner better than any other national anthem. Now that I know the back story, I like it even more. If you’ve never heard this, please give it a listen. The story is very moving.

I respect your argument, but the best national anthem was the Armenian SSR by music alone

@basilfawlty89 yes, This one sounds good, too. But not understanding the language means I don’t get a sense of the meaning.

@DragonBlue obviously the Lenin and Stalin references suck, but the music, not the lyrics were composed by classical Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. Here are the lyrics though
