do you know all the words to the star spangled banner??

Question

who sings it best?

Answer 1

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O 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 thro' 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 on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, 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 wash'd 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.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause 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!

Answer 2

Yes, the 1st verse anyway. I think that Ronan Tynan of the Irish Tenors sings it best and then I would have to go with Edie Anne Reidy who used to sing at the Continental Arena where the NJ Devils play. When someone sings it properly and with feeling, it is so awesome. I don't like it when they add dramatic changes to it to make it sound different than it was written. It is something that always touches my heart and I feel a certain reverence when it is being sung.

Answer 3

Yes, when I was 14 I had to sing it for the Green Bay Packers.

Answer 4

I must confess I only know the first verse. As for who sings it best that is too hard to determine, because so many great vocalist have sung it.
Peace.
