| | Just finished up a song which is an anthem against the outsourcing of American's jobs and the "spin" being put on it. | | | And after listening to the song, the chorus is set apart from the verses very well by the music of the song, which works just as well in many cases as changing the meter. | | | Thank you very much for giving my song a review and listen. |

| | The Story of the song, America |
| | It was considered to be "un-American" in later years (somewhat ironic, considering the origins of the tune of the national anthem itself!), yet the tune had actually appeared in America before 1776. | | | The origin of the title, America, is unclear. | | | Sometimes known by its first line, My Country, 'tis of Thee, this song was written in 1832 by the Reverend Samuel F. Smith. |

| | Robert J. Branham - "Of Thee I Sing": Contesting "America" - American Quarterly 48:4 |
| | King's use of "America" unites these two divergent performative traditions and constructions of the song: in one, the song is regarded as the ultimate expression of American patriotism; in the other, it is a singularly important site for contesting the nation's character, self-image and actions. | | | In the tradition of the jeremiad, "America" provides a succinct and immediately recognizable statement of national promise, a gauge by which to measure the gap between present conditions and the promise, and a millennial imagination of national destiny in which the promise is redeemed. | | | In 1764, the song was performed with new lyrics in honor of Benjamin Franklin. |

| | America's eponymous debut album displayed a bright sonic sheen that made it a landmark acoustic-rock recording for its time. | | | The America album was released in Britain to moderate response. | | | America's songs have frequently dealt with themes of travel and restlessness--from such early compositions as "A Horse With No Name" and "Ventura Highway" through such recent tunes as "From A Moving Train." This collection captures the highlights of where their music has carried them and chronicles the changes they've gone though both artistically and personally. |

| | Depending on whether or not you listen to the "clean" version of the album, the song is either a lot of swearing or a lot of squealing. | | | Without exception, the songs on this album are great. | | | This is perhaps one of the all-time best opening tracks on a Prince album, and sets the album's tone as a series of songs not limited to single genre. |

| | 4) America Town -- the album is named after this song, and it gets to the root of the apathy that many of my (and his) generation have about America. | | | The music ranges from moody to exuberant, and his voice ranges as well...often a higher falsetto (which I don't always like, but it works on this album), but sometimes a lower growl that is reminiscent of Dave Matthews. | | | Ondrasik wrote all of the music and lyrics for the album, and shows a great deal of insight into our hearts and minds. |

| | This fact alone damaged the album in the eyes of many America fans who were hoping to hear Dan sing new songs for the first time in eight years. | | | The deluge of America imports and reissues was impressive as a show of interest in the group's past recordings, but something of a disappointment to hard-core America fans, who really wanted the remaining Capitol albums to be released in full on CD. | | | America has proven one thing to be true over the past twenty-eight years: A lot of talent and perseverance has proven that a group need not be outrageous to be outstanding. |
