Ok then, I'm not the only one who look for this song since years

[airbusman]

Movie: gives the National Anthem to a man with an absolute powerhouse of a voice

Also movie: kills him off when the nuke goes off

[Starannify]

I love Arnold McCuller's singing of this verse so much that I am very upset that they didn't pay him to sing the entirety of the Star Spangled Banner.

[jasonwilkins]

Most unbelievable part of this movie...someone singing the 4th verse of the Star Spangled Banner at a football game...(Knowing Better brought me here)

[hectorchamate]

JESUS CHRIST ive been lookin for this FULL VERSION for Im not an US citizen, so this anthem is like any other anthem to me...but, ....this version....the chills man, the chills. Different lyrics, though.

[CaesarCassius]

Finally Hollywood listens to the people and re-releases a full version of the soundtrack. Why is McCuller not more well-known? I want this guy to sing all my favs

[stephenhuntsucker]

Can you imagine being in that universe? You’d be saying, “Wow! That’s the best version of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve ever heard!”
A few minutes later: “Oh, they nuked the Super Bowl.”

[killman]

[larrywillis]

The lyrics to the song... different rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.... THIS VERSION KICKS
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

[KomodoDad]

Holy crap, I didn't know they had a full version of this. Thank you!

[ivankas]

The most powerhouse version I’ve ever heard!!!
Heard many version, but nothing like this.
By the way, everyone should read the history of our Star Spangled banner! Very powerful. Yes, there is a history behind it.

[jjjww]

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
