National Anthem
Michael Bush:
Yes, Waltzing Matilda does sound nice on bagpipes... You have Anzac day and most people in the US don't know anything about Gallipoli... I guess it makes sense to a small degree since we didn't fight in it, but it was one of, if not THE, longest and bloodiest battles in the history of the world... I never heard much about it until I went to Istanbul..
Dallasbeek:
Question: "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" was in the soundtrack of a fairly recent movie, I think. Anyone know what movie? It's a truly haunting song about the devastation of Gallipoli.
Kathyp:
The only time I'm bothered by how the national anthem is done is when they make it sound like a funeral dirge. It's a song of celebration. I am not opposed to artistic interpretation as long as they don't make it sound like we should be shoveling dirt as they sing it.
