Happy Independence Day! All of my music classes watched this amazing you tube and sang along with it this year. Elizabeth MItchell's voice is lovely, calm, and perfectly on pitch. It provided a great example for my students. The photography is absolutely incredible and captivating. Thank you!

The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a strong sense of patriotism while also carrying a message of social justice and equality, I am an African, specifically Kenyan I wish all of us could listen to it.

It summarizes what America is supposed to be and often has been. The original natives of this land. The refugees who founded Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The hundreds of peoples and cultures that found home here. The United States is a large country and each part of it tells a unique story. It is a land full of some of the most beautiful natural wonders on our planet that the song invokes. It invokes what we often *should* be. It reminds me what even with the hatred, anger, and inequality I still love my homeland. I don't think one can love their country without loving the people in it and wanting equality and equity for them. For my Italian ancestor that fled here in the mid-1800s at 12-years-old because they were going to conscript him it was a land of peace and freedom. Sadly for slaves and their descendants, it hasn't been. A good example of two different things being true at the same time.

Gorgeous version. I wish this was our National Anthem.

It’s really strange, I was born in Mexico and was brought to the US to escape the violence and poverty in the 90’s. I was deported back to Mexico in 2013, but when I hear the national anthem and this song it makes me cry. I don’t know why but something in my unconscious triggers me to cry. Ive been in Mexico since with a beautiful house and family now. I don’t feel American for obvious reasons but I also don’t feel like a real Mexican because we have taste and lots of things different. It’s a weird feeling…

Bravo! One of the few (almost) uncensored versions you can find on the internet. Pete Seeger, on the day of the Obama inauguration, dared to sing “private property”, instead of “no trespassing”, but even he had to censor the strophe on the relief office, ending, pay attention, with a question mark.

Although I like seeing the smile on a 90 year old Pete Seeger singing this song in 2009 for the presidential inauguration- I think this is the best presentation of this song that I’ve seen in the past few days. I always revisit this on Memorial Day, along with The Ballad Of Ira Hayes video that shows pictures of Ira, newspaper clippings, and quotes from Ira. One of the things that makes the USA better than other nations is that we’re not afraid to look back and see where we’ve done wrong. We are headed to becoming a melting pot of both people and ideals, and the food that will come out of that will nourish the whole world. Sure it might not look like it right now, but keep in mind that it never looked like it would in the past either 🇺🇸

😭 we use too sing this elementary! Music class

I woke up this morning from a dream, I had this song on my heart. As I researched the song, I learned the the author of the song, Woodie Guthrie, actually wrote it in protest to God Bless America, because he felt God Bless America did not deal with the plight of the natives this land was stolen from, the Africans on whose backs this country was built on, and the other poor people who couldn't really enjoy it or ever be able to afford to own property. Needless to say, I actually love both this song, and God bless America, and regardless of Guthrie's protest of God Bless America, I believe that that Natives of this land and the African were horribly mistreated, and I would like to see a full and sincere repentance and reconciliation of all parties. It wasn't until I read the full lyrics of this song, specifically the part about the "Diamond Deserts", that I actually remembered my dream. In the dream, I was on the streets of America sharing the Gospel, when an Americam military officer approached me and let me know he did not believe in God and felt I was foolish for believing in Him and sharing my faith. I don't recall the actual words of our short conversation, but it ended with me politely letting him know I was going to continue witnessing, and though he was not happy about that, he turned and walked away and left me alone. The original settlers that came to the shores of what we now call America, had the goal not to conquer this land militarily, but to share the Gospel, but eventually and sadly, others came to these shores with less righteous motivations. So let's get back to the intent of those original settlers, and preach the Gospel to EVERY creature in the Wonderfully Beautiful and All-Powerful name of Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew)!

Always makes me cry

We sang this when I was a kid in elementary school.

God bless America and restore her to sanity, and soon.

If you were to actually know real history you would also know up until 1941 pearl harbor created a sense of nationalism and thus before american people were distant to nationalism. The beauty of the land ur talking about is woody and other during the 30's why do u think in 0.43 he literally talks about him walking from far distances "there was a a big high wall there that tried to stop me a sign was painted said private property". by woody himself that was deleted and clearly not sung here face it dude the U.S.A can suck sometimes.

@@kraze719 I'm not disagreeing that the song has social justice bits to it in some of the verses. It makes me love it even more. But downplaying how he describes the land as beautiful, which is most of the song, speaks to his love for his homeland. The "no trespassing" sign verse and the one about the his people in line at the relief office speaks to things he wishes were different. I would argue that ties in love of his homeland as well because he's wanting social justice for everyone. Guthrie grew up during the Great Depression on a farm destroyed by the Dust Bowl. As for nationalism, the rise of nationalism began just before WWI and followed the rise of fascism in the United States. Back when Charles Lindberg was considering a presidential run for the fascist "America First Party". That was the era most of the civil war monuments we deal with today were built, the Klan reached its membership peak, and anti-immigrant hysteria ran rampant. WWII actually began to calm much of that down. Patriotism rose, but patriotism and nationalism aren't the same thing. Nationalism is a state worshipping authoritarian cult. Patriotism is a love of your homeland and its people. I would argue measures such as supporting universal healthcare, civil rights, justice, and workers rights are all true patriotism. Nationalists often hijack patriotism. I have no doubt Guthrie loved his homeland and the people in it. The lyrics show as much. He also wrote the song in part because he thought God Bless America was too nationalist.
