The National Anthem (A Musical Analysis)
The Star-Spangled Banner is an awkward, unsubtle piece of music, but in the hands of great musicians it can be quite effective. Why is the American national anthem the way it is? How did it come to be both a spectacle of the mediocre and the sublime?
"You can think of it as a fairly brutal metaphor for the American experience. The Anthem invites everyone to try and sing along with this heroic melody but punishes everybody who tries and cannot. It sounds simple and attainable like the American dream but is in fact a gauntlet only navigated by a few."
