Which is the best national anthem?

Upon repetition, instilled was the flame
That burneth forever
regardless of name
...

Cultural-programming 101.

Best Flag ever...?
No Flag at all.

Did you know that 'Khazakstan' and its capital 'Astana' Is the only Country and Capital to each incorporate 'Satan' within their 'anglo' spellings?
Now - Check out ASTANA...
Pyramids, Baalicism, Isis temples, Pillars of joachim, Tree of life....

Not just tribesmen in huts, ey?

Gee, you make it sound like a bad thing.

"Be careful, lest in casting out your demon you exorcise the best thing in you." Whoops, too late.
Friedrich Nietzsche

It's not a bad thing.

Good and evil are mental-constructs - They, 'neither' exist beyond mental parameters.
Nietzsche was the Neo-platonic derivation of the 20th century (Plato a la modern-era)

You appear to require 'attention' via your pointless response...?
Quoting celebrity-psychoanalysts who conducted no field-studies of their own (outside of plaguerism (Likely wrongly spelled)) is 'attention-whoring ad populum to the hilt'

Point being - Sound, sight, taste, touch and smell - Can each be linked to mental images, locations, temporal experiences and emotional responsives.

Each can be prompted by repetitious induction - Of music, adverts, anthems, jingles, hymns, carols - Amen.

Enjoy your journey.

Some film footage of Tsar Nicholas II and his family and others of the time period. The Russian imperial National Anthem God Save the Tsar plays in the background.

Get a ******* life. We're talking about music.

Oh yes. Most any of these tunes, with a slight shift in language towards the romantic, would be Top Ten contenders in popular music charts. That's what those melodies are about. It's why people love them and even rise to standing ovation position before even beginning. The sorts of comments I hear when Canadians sing their anthem run along the lines of "My god! Listen to that arrangement. Notice how the oboe enters in the fifth bar and functions so beautifully as introduction to the strings which in turn surrender almost immediately to the majestic and inconceivably athletic drum solo".

How droll.

No, you must be right. Anyone who is stirred by a National Anthem must be a right-wing nationalist monster, even if they don't live in the nation of origin.

Speaking of music and living in the nation of origin:
"High on the young Rhine" is the national anthem of Liechtenstein,
"God Save the Queen" is the national or royal anthem in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies,
the "King's Song" is Norway's royal anthem,
the "The Prayer of Russians" was the national anthem of Imperial Russia from 1816 to 1833,
"Bevare Gud vår Kung", literally God Save our King, was considered the official Royal Anthem in Sweden until Kungssången was written in the mid-19th century,
"Hail to Thee in the Victor's Wreath" was the official national anthem of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918,
the above was the official Prussian national anthem from 1795 till 1918,
"Rufst du, mein Vaterland" is the former national anthem of Switzerland. from the 1850s to 1961,

... but all use(d) the same tune/music.

(Edit: the same tune was used in the Kingdom of Bavaria until 1860 and as the Greek national anthem under King Otto of Greece [a Bavarian prince].)

Thanks teach!

composer: Joseph Haydn
lyrics: August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben

Too little notes.

Boring.

Nice anthem.

Are you?
DEFINE 'MUSIC'?
By vibration, energy, and effect...?

And why it is better played silently...?
