As we live through this dark moment in U.S. history this song holds deeper meaning for me.
"No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess or conquer my country's heart
They rise to fail. "
America is a noble ideal - a lofty vision beyond any petty tyrant. We need to hold on to that ideal in our hearts & defend it. Love this song so much!

[zyjidhe]

I asked my late husband to perform this song in his concerts - love the meaning - ...every time the audience was in

[richardiru]

No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born

And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant, we who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her - but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now

How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart

[andrewodell]

I truly believe that Josh Groban is one of the most gifted singers that has ever lived.He sings with such heart and soul and you believe every word he sings he is brilliant

[statenyoung]

Phenomenal song. Still hits home today. I love the original by Tommy so much! It’s great to hear this one from Josh Groban. Can’t believe I’m just finding it seven years later as I love both the song and Josh Groban.

[marialopes]

The world need you-You are a MIRACLE OF LOVE and PEACE-God bless you

[organicskating]

I love this song!  Josh's interpretations and phrasing are always appropriately elegant!  Better when his voice has aged too!  Gorgeous!

[paulieinct]

The man and his voice are a national treasure. His rendition of this song flawless and stirring.

[brianganley]

I've been listening to him for 13 years and his voice STILL gives me goosebumps :)

[jbrettyoo]

He touches people's heart because he sings with deep sympathy and emotion.

[anaileana]

An Anthem in itself is uplifting! But Josh, with his incomparable voice, makes it even more exciting and uplifting!

[bluemoonsy]

To my Ukrainian friends who have fled with their young families to Germany and Poland. Our hearts are with you.

[patryn]

This mans voice has never been so beautiful

[dylansmith]

Whoever orchestrated this version NEEDS to do the whole score! This number gives me chills EVERY TIME!

I have listened to both Tommy and Josh carefully. Both are great singers! They each have very different voice qualities that make them hard to compare. Josh is a lyric baritone, Tommy a tenor. Tommy is strong, clear, good intonation. Josh, being a baritone with extended upper range, sounds bigger, richer, fuller, and he also has great intonation. When Josh "unleashes the beast" as he says, he has the power of a 747 on take off. This was a common comment on his Anthem at the live RAH production in 2008. People who had never heard him were stunned! Rarely does anyone get standing ovations in the middle of a production. It comes down to personal preference, but I prefer Joshes version because of his good emotion, and the very quality of his baritone voice. He is just unique.

[mullumbimboy]

As a child of the 60s I have never been a nationalist and anthems generally make my flesh creep. But this one, precisely because it is not the anthem of any country (although in the story it is sung by a Russian about his own country) is worthy of every country. "My land's only borders lie around my heart!" brings me to tears every time I hear it.

[cartepersonalizata]

Absolutely amazing voice! Josh Groban you are a legendary singer of the world forever.. <3

[MsMamie]

Josh you have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. My husband passed away four yrs. ago and I guess you could say your voice got me through all the hard times, and there were many. I started out with/ to where you are then you are loved. Now I listen to you every day on YouTube, my husband and I were married 47yrs. when he passed. God bless you. 😇💞💕

I bought the Stages CD for my Dad in 2018 it was his first time he had heard Josh Groban sing and he was hooked to the point of playing the cd endlessly personally don't blame him but he passed away 3 weeks ago so many songs he had not heard Josh singing such a shame this song was his favourite right until the end so fitting for my Dad such a strong song for a strong man love you always my wonderful father xxx
