I'm just weary to my bones

Jesus christ. This song. I actually teared up on the subway. This should be the American anthem, this quiet, melancholy song about the bittersweet taste of memories and the slow, heavy weight of failure that we drag behind us as we trudge along.

To be honest, I'd rather like the American national anthem the way it is. I'm a bit fond of it since the lyrics to it was inspired by a battle that took place near I lived (...I am not sure why two out of the three places I've lived in my life have had battles associated with them in some way).

I'm not opposed to the current anthem per se, but given the country's current state, I think some quiet reflection on our failures would do us some good.
