There's been a little bit of discussion about a new co-op song and with the Fourth of July just a month away it would be a great time for a patriotic song. Charlie mentioned it might be a good idea to not limit it to just one song but any song in the patriotic genre and I think that's a great idea. Beginning somewhere around the last week of June I'll put all of the patriotic songs on an ezFolk station and we'll prominently display the station on ezFolk so a lot of people can listen to it.

In looking at the Patriotic genre this morning I was surprised to see that there were just three songs in the whole genre so it would really be nice to fill it up with some good songs. I added my own MP3 of The Star Spangled Banner and switched the genre of another patriotic song called Star Spangled Flower that I wrote (it's a combination of The Star Spangled Banner and Wildwood Flower), so now there are five in the genre but it would be great if we could get a lot more.

I also added the guitar tablature for my arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner:
Whatever patriotic song you do just remember to put it in the "Patriotic" genre and it would be great if you would also post a note here so we'll know it's there and we can listen to it. Click here to view the Patriotic genre chart.

Here are a few ideas for some patriotic songs:
  • America (My Country Tis of Thee)
  • America The Beautiful
  • Anchors Aweigh
  • Battle Cry of Freedom
  • Battle Hymn of the Republic
  • The Caissons Go Rolling Along
  • Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean
  • The Marines Hymn
  • Over There
  • The Stars and Stripes Forever
  • When Johnny Comes Marching Home
  • Yankee Doodle
  • You're A Grand Old Flag
That's a few possibilities but there are hundreds more in the public domain. If you need help finding chords to anything post it here and we'll try to help you find them. Of course original songs that you wrote would be great as well.

Let's hear what you've got!

Way to go James and Charlie... glad to see you both jump on it!

:clap:

I'm going to send out a message to all of the MP3 artists on ezFolk later today or tomorrow so hopefully we'll have a lot of submissions this time around.

Hi Clay,

That's a beautiful tribute to your son. Thanks for sharing it on ezFolk.

Looks like your messages posted okay. You just need to do a copy and paste to get the song listed here so people can listen to it. I'm creating a link to it...

 Hope you enjoy this. I wrote it when I was 17 about a friend that was going in the Navy.

This is a swedish version of
The Star-Spangled Banner.
Public Domain.
It is true against the original lyrics.

Vår stjärnströdda flagga
Swedish lyrics
Magnus Elmblad (1848-1888)
poet, journalist, Sweden, USA.

Kan du se i den gryende morgonens glöd,
vad vi hälsade stolt, medan solen gick neder,
och vars stjärnor oss lyste i faror och död,
när vi värjde vårt land mot förrädarnas leder?

O, när kulregnet ven
genom glödbombens sken,
vi sågo vår flagga med fröjd var och en!
Du vår stjärnströdda flagga, o, svajar väl du
bland ett folk, som i frihet och kraft bor ännu?

Se från Tochentung strand ovan klippornas bryn,
längs det djup, där vår ovän i dödstystnad vilar -
se, vad är det, som glänser så rödvitt mot skyn,
stundom lyft, stundom sänkt av en morgonvinds ilar?

Se, nu fångar dess rand
morgonrodnadens brand,
i ära och prakt hälsar flaggan sitt land!
O, vår stjärnströdda flagga, alltjämt svajar du
bland ett folk, som i frihet och kraft dväljs ännu!

Men var är hon, den lögn, som skrytande svor,
att vår hembygd, vårt allt, skulle jämnas med jorden,
då den eldröde hanen med skräck bland oss for?
Hennes blod har sköljt bort hennes fotspår i norden!

Icke flykten ens gav
skydd åt hyrknekt och slav
mot segrarens svärd undan jämmer och grav.
Men, du stjärnströdda flagga, din glans sprider du
kring ett folk, som i frihet och kraft dväljs ännu!

Ja, förbliver det så! Frie män stå på vakt
för sitt älskade land, mot försåt och mot fara!
Hell den makt, som har frid genom striden oss bragt,
som vår frihet oss gav och som skall den bevara!

Vad som rätt är består,
ty skall segern bli vår -
vi lita på Gud så idag som i går,
och med ära skall svaja vår stjärnflagga du
bland ett folk, som i frihet och kraft dväljs ännu!

Clay,

Tears are flowing as I write this, what a beautiful tribute and I hope somehow you can find some peace in your life.  The line about your little boy coming back from school really got to me, I have a little boy right now who's starting school and I so desparately want time to stand still. 

Thanks again for sharing, and welcome to ezFolk.
