I love how this song is dedicated not only to the people who fought for our freedom, but the people who broke their backs building this Nation's cities, roads, railroads, etc. We owe more gratitude to America's construction workers, farmers, and other "blue collar" workers, past and present, than we realize.
Fellow Americans, I don't care if your conservative, liberal, white, black or brown, green, blue or red, i'm glad to be with you here.. when the sh** hits the fan, we'll get it done like we always do
I really like some of Imagine Dragons' songs. This song is deep and very telling however, the imagery they chose lacks representation. I pray those who are still blinded by the enemy turn from darkness to Light. Salvation in Jesus. Choose Love NOT hate. Blessings!
As someone from Australia, this song isn't somthing meant for me.. but it's somthing I can't help bit relate with. You should be proud of your country, sure it has its flaws, but which country doesn't?? Let's be real. Even Australia has its many flaws. Don't hate your nationality because of what has happened on the land in the past, you are not one of those people, you need to remember that, but also remember to try and fix things as best you can. I am still doing the same over here in Australia. I love you guys
@@OfficialTrAshProductions FDR was a complete fraud. He went door to door and stole everyones gold because the United States, Incorporated went bankrupt in 1933 (this is a corporation, not our actual lawful government.) That wasnt enough to pay off the corporations debts, so FDR went ahead and put you and me and every other American up as the security. He literally securitized our flesh and made us debt slaves. This was done through the birth certificate and Social Security. The name on your birth certificate is you. They unlawfully converted you into a sub-corporation of their fraudulent and deceptive corporation. This is not the only country this has happened to, we are all victims of this fraud, not just America.
Unfortunately, those with power in the US want to make America China, which is sad. People agree cause they don't understand things happening behind closed doors. God bless you mate. And pray the CCP will one day collapse...

"If you take advantage of everything America has to offer there's nothing you can't accomplish" My Italian grandfather took that literally and has achieved his American dream. Came to America working 3 jobs at once with nothing in his pocket now he has 5 apartment buildings in the states and in Italy. He once told his friend in Italy that in America it's always dark. Bewildered his friend said what do you mean? My grandfather said well u leave in the morning for work it's dark by the time u come home at night it's dark as well. 😬 My grandfather is a strong donator to the wounded Warrior Project. Nothing in this country is possible without veterans and future veterans of this country. Thank you!🇺🇸
shaserdeses God bless you and your family. We’re all Americans, under one flag, under one government, under one national anthem, under one president. We have to learn to live like our older ones, and stop with all this Red/Blue crap. Together, we will continue to rule this world until dawn of mankind. Not like we’re going to give up that spot anytime soon. The Chinese can dream on, no-one will ever surpass America.
@@braydenbronstein1190 no one can pass America but at this point in time the American leaders (My leaders) want us to drop down in the dumps. I agree the red and blue is getting pretty darn weird but cheating on an election I mean come on now🙁
To everyone who commented in this comment section and is from a different country (I'm sure most of you know who you are), we thank you for your kind words. Many Americans themselves don't like this country and how we are often portrayed or represented these days. But you've helped reassure us to feel good about our nationality, including me. Of course, we still have many shameful flaws. However, I'm very happy you guys have found a way to look past them. And so, from the bottom of all our hearts, we thank you for your inspiring words. :-)
(Just wanted to include these since it is causing a controversy in the comments.) 1: The term "America" can be applied to all countries technically in the "America's". But, it is also used as a shorter term for "United States of America". For all we know, they may have wanted to keep the song title short and simple. 2: Like I said, we have flaws. And most of us aren't afraid to recognize them. But really, no country is truly "safe" from a dark history or "pure" in terms of "perfectionism without fault". Change and development is always underway in many nations. And change can be considered a conflict one must go through to help themselves and other people around them. For nations, change is often debilitating and reckless. But it is a process everyone must go through, one way or another. Otherwise, if you still don't believe me, try playing a game of Civilization without somehow starting a war with another empire or them starting a war with you. Lol. ^_^
Very inspiring words. I am Australian but this still will mean a lot to other people. Keep making this world a better place, Jazzy. You are a true patriot for typing those words.
The problem is that there is so much pressure on schools, on the educators who already tend to lean left, to teach the wrong that America has done. They drill it into kids heads to the point where we have a generation of kids that feel the need to right these wrongs that are long gone. A generation that feels the need to spread the idea that Americans are entitled and should be ashamed. Newsflash, America is exceptional. We aren't inherently better people, America is exceptional because the ideas that our country was founded on are exceptional. America is the only country that was founded on an Idea. Give us liberty and justice; and we, the people, can do the rest. A beautiful idea that has spread throughout the world. Capitalism isn't the moral solution. There will be people that get fucked over, there will be people that get swallowed whole, chewed up, and spit back out. Not everyone starts at the same place, life isn't fair. Capitalism is a machine. But its a machine that doesn't care who you are, what you look like, or where you came from and that is a beautiful fucking thing.
Brad Morgan On top of it. First I have to help someone named Athene and then I have to go meet with the Neo-Druids and help them make a few corrections. Neuroscience, Autism, Surrealism and the Neo-Bards are going to lead the way after I'm done with them. This won't be built in a day, but have patience, it will be worth the wait. Mutual Benefit. Sincerely yours, The baSTard BAARD.
Acts of atrocity are not limited to a single nation. It doesn't matter who you are, what your ethnicity or nationality is, who your god is or what your culture is like. Each country has its own brutal history: America has its slavery, the Native Americans have their tribal wars, the native Australians have their genocides and the Japanese and Chinese have done horrible things to each other, to name just a few. It's not what nation you come from or what you believe that produces the hate, really. It's the fact that we're all human and every human is capable of the worst kind of crimes against their fellows.
I never knew about this Imagine Dragons song, how patriotic of them. And a great song too! Definitely has a different sound to it then their newer music.
America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.
thank you for that comment. all my ancestors who have fought for this country, or for the Confederates since most of ancestors are Southeners, would be grateful for such a comment. My grandfather fought during the Vietnam War and not enough people thanked him for his service, whether that be towards him or all the soldiers of the Vietnam War, it is gratifying to see people still support the military like yourself. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "God Bless You".
howard baxter I am a Southerner myself....Straight from Houston, Texas and we don't need to fight anyone out there to know we're the best - That goes for America. As for the American Civil War May they R.I.P to both the Confederates and the Unionists, because all of them were Americans and let there never be another war like that.
Randy Blonde Agreed, on both the thing with Southerners being the best and hoping there is not another war like the Civil War ever again. What pisses me off is that history books make the Confederates look like evil monsters when they are still Americans fighting for what they think best. I am glad that someone else in this world at least appreciates them and finds that there deaths are American deaths as well.
Randy Blonde I respect and appreciate them, but to bad they're fighting and dying for the damn corrupt government. I know they dont fight for the government but still it's a shame.
Claudiu Balta that's a bit cynical, don't you think? The war on terror currently is in fact protecting your own ass from a suicide bomber. Show a little respecr.
I'm a US Navy Sailor and I sympathize with this song quite a bit. We're working hard and fighting to keep the country safe, and it's not easy. It's really hard to look back over seas to see our family and our country. I miss my family and friends, my home that I grew up in. When I come back, people won't look at me and know what I was, or what I do, but I'll know they support me.
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽. I read your comment , it motivated me to pursue my dreams. (I used a translator to write these letters , they may not be spelled correctly). Saludos desde México 🇲🇽.
God I remember when life was just so much simpler than what it is nowadays. Back when this was released back in 2010 I was sitting at home on a couch as a kid watching cartoons and playing in the streets. Now im just sat at home self isolating and wondering if ill survive this pandemic. This song over the years has given me hope in the darkest of times. its a song about loving your country, and although im not american I know what its like to be free and have hopes and dreams. Great song.
I am an American, And yes our country is not perfect. But no country is perfect. War and slavery has stretched all the way across the world. People can say how the natives were pretty much slaughtered. And they would be right. But we are not the only country to do such savage things. Japan has had its own civil wars. China has had its own wars. Europe has had its fair share. If we start to condemn others, we condemn ourselves. Even if you are not religious, this Holy Bible verse holds truth regardless: "Before you mention the spec in your brothers eye, first remove the log in your own eye". we are all guilty. All country's have done wrong. We can only try to improve ourselves. Which is true about our country's as well.
Yeah, and if people really think we slaughtered the natives, you have to remember those people were from Great Britain. Some may argue that they were still Americans, but you have to take that into consideration. And btw, how do you think the rest of the world was settled?
All good but you cant just keep on entering every country you think its messed up and doing whatever you want there. And its pretty obvious that most of the times you people dont look for the best of the country where you are getting involved, you just cares about stealing all you can, no matter how many people die or how you are destroying the country. Why do you think that you have terrorism from that countrys? You enter to their countrys you bomb everything and you think that you are doing the things right? You have to have concecuenses.. You people think that you are the kings of the world or somthing.. just accept that you are just a fucking country. Let other people resolve their own issues becouse you always make it even worse. Peace
That was a nice comment. And yes, Americas government does like to get into everyones business. Me, as well as many other Americans, are against getting into everyone else's business. But America was once an isolationist country. We tried to stay out of everyones business. But America has been pulled into everyones business. And since when does America bomb and kill everyone?
I'm from Europe and I must say, America has helped us in times of need, America has fought with us when we needed it most. They might not be smart, but they are the most goddamn brave country I've ever seen.
+jonathan rodriguez not really braveness and intelligence are two very different things. there are plenty of dumb brave people and vice versa as well as brave intelligent people.
IdogsFurnace Stupid? We’ve won the most Nobel Prizes by far. We’ve had the most scientific breakthroughs than any other nation has. You’re the dumb one if you seriously believe those AMERICANS ARE STUPID AND IGNORANT videos. They’re staged. Americans are in general very smart people. Heck, we invested 700 billion dollars into rebuilding Europe after it was completely destroyed. We dominate the world in all aspects, and will continue to do so forever.
Thatguyintheback The point where Uncle Sam defends what’s real about our great nation. Uncle Sam doesn’t care if it’s a comment from three minutes ago, or three years ago. I will defend my homeland, and what’s true about it. You would be chocked to see exactly how many times I’ve gotten into arguments with people when they curse at our nation.
I love my country. we may have our ups and downs but Americans get back up no matter what and that's what makes us great. I only wish this song could be heard by many millions more.
Many people's comments are extremely disrespectful. This song isn't about how great America is, this song is an ode to the soldiers that fight everyday to keep you and me safe (well if you live in America). Even if you don't agree with the government's choices, soldiers put their lives on the line for us and many times we fail to give them the credit they deserve. The members of the military are much braver and more courageous than any of us could ever hope to be. So the song is good to Veterans Day. =]
As someone who isn't even American (I'm Canadian), I can truly appreciate the sense of sentimentality that was put into this song, you can feel the love of their country that Imagine Dragons put into this song
@@arturcardoso8701 America is the mainland, Latin America is basically South America, kinda the reason we have different names for their location. If the whole America being a continent thing actually made sense then the US wouldn't be North America because then that would go to Canada
Filipe Pontes America is a continent. Which is divide in South America , center America and North America the other classification can be just North America and South America which is by the Ecuador line.
I'd have to agree. I don't take my country for granted. Opportunities for me are limitless, if you work hard and don't make excuses.. like the Americans that came before us
My Grandpa, Great-grandpa and the rest of the men in my family have been in almost all of the American wars. My great Grandpa who fought in World War 2 was a captain of a flying squadron of the fighter aircraft. He flew a P-51 mustang fighter. Me being myself love this beautiful country and decided to carry on the tradition and join the US Airforce when I grow up. My great-Grandpa told me how hard it is but that's the risk I'm willing to take just because I love my country.
That's amazing! I also share a similiar family history. My ancestors date back to pre- American Revolution. I have an ancestors who fought in the American Revolution, the Civil War, almost WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War. My grandfather was a POW in the Vietnam War. I plan to join the US Air Force after I graduate high school. I love my country, because in my opinion it is the GREATEST country in the world. That is my OPINION. The statement that a nation is the greatest is an opinion, many say that it is fact. However, I say it is a personnal truth to many as well as myself. I love my country, the bases as to which it stands for. Many above said that the our Founding Fathers were hypocrites for saying "All men are created equal" and then being slave owners. To start, if they had abolished slavery in the Constitution at that time there would be no USA. Most of the southern economy was based on slavery and major agricultural economy. Before the Civil War there were pushes in Congress to slowly push out slavery. After the Civil War, the South's economy was devistated. Looking and learning about USA history is long and interesting and heartbreaking and hopeful. When I was in USA History last year it was drilled into my head by my teacher that our country is not perfect, it has done many horrendus things, but it has also done so many amazing things. Did you know that the USA is the most charitable nation on the planet? We are taught that it is our duty, as human beings to help others regardless of reprecussions. The truth is that our goverment has sone many bad things, and so have all other governments. We are not infallible. The USA is a young nation, less than 300 years. We are one of the largest and most populated nations on the planet. Previous comments say our nation is corrupt, but every nation is corrupt. There are nations were people live in dumps because that is the only place than can get food. I can say as an American, I am almost stupidly lucky to have been born here. Other people want to know why we're a "fat, arrogant, stupid, lazy, racist, sexist, etc." Well here's the answer: we are human. Just because we are born in another location on this planet that is held up to this expectation to be perfect does not mean we are. Every country is made up of humans.
It's funny reading all these comments about people saying they want to visit America so badly. I've always wanted to visit most of the countries talked about in the comments. It's pretty much my life dream to visit & tour Europe.
It's true when people ask where our favorite destanation would be, most of us answer the USA ;) I don't know why actually, but it just seems so cool, it's so big. Here you only have to drive a few hours and you're in a different country. :O :D
Girl19111999 Yeah that's insane! I saw a joke post on Tumblr discussing the entire thing. It's true, I drive a few hours and I'm just in another city let alone another state or a country!
For all Americans alive or not thanks for helping Philippines when we are in risks of war we appreciate this is only a comment but thanks for the sacrifices your own army American for Philippines mark my word we gave you a kindness like you do to us
A beautiful and inspirational song that should be played in schools throughout the nation so perhaps today's youth will see America as the leader for good and something to be proud of :)
I'm Italian and I want to visit America soooooooooo baaaaad! I hope to get the chance someday. :) I actually want to visit a lot of countries, I find cultures that are different from mine so fascinating.
Hope you do get to come and really enjoy our country! The best state is Texas, but don't come here in July- you'll melt ;-) Virginia has the best historical stops... and I can't wait to see the Sistine Chapel!!! and all of your land's heritage!
Interesting fact about America is that, America is the only country in the world that got independence from the English empire through war, the Revolutionary war.
+1 for Texas. Texas is really friendly, during the right time of the year BEAUTIFUL with flowers and blue bonnets and a lot of historical sites. And the BBQ is to die for!
Come to Ohio! Full of history, and an awesome football team... nice people and a lot of special places to visit. Camping is fun in Ohio, and there is a lot of things to learn about America there. Ohio is a historical, Awesome state. Ohio was the birthplace of aviation and flight ( I think, wait, yeah my grandma said that the first plane flew in Dayton, Ohio. Aviation, I don't know.) Ohio people are really friendly, and Indian history sets here.
America is already very. very great. A land filled with loving diversity and companionship, where all humans work toward happiness for themselves and their peers. Nothing is perfect, but things can still be great :).
xTHEx xUNTITLEDx Yea, and it’s the people who hate white males. The ones who pull the sex and/or race card to anything anyone says that hurts their precious feelings... honestly people have gone soft and blame it on white supremacy and sexism...
Whatever USA political situation it’s, we always love you all ! Italian & American people are real lovers of life, no envy, just smiling and sharing :) 🤍 from Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you so much! I know our country really seems like a mess these days, and I’m ashamed about it, I really am. But know there is still sincerity, love and people with heart in the country still. Love from America, the land of the free ❤️
I'm American and I wish the best for iraq. Our nationalities and countries are not reflections of us citizens. Our leaders may fight but we weave evertighter together with the fabric of love and understanding
Not really. I don't remember Iraq or Pakistan become a bastion of liberty, and prevent the world from falling into the hands of a totalitarian state. Also, Hitler doesn't really approve of this, "liberty" thing. So, no. It's not applicable to literally every nation and every person. It's not even applicable to any other nation or person. That's why it's called "America."
I haven't heard this song in years. It felt like I was back in highschool again. I'm grateful for the life I have here in America, and I aim to make the most of things. Life is wonderful, and os something to cherish and take by the reigns. Make your life yours where you can. The things that are the most worth it are the ones you're willing to work hard to get to or achieve.
I cannot get this song out of my head. Every time I hear it, I physically feel it run through my body. Very few songs touch my soul and make me feel proud to be a patriot. Their line -- “Lift me up - Give me strength to press on.” -- Perfectly captures why I’m still here and continue, to go to my VetCenter appointments, to learn how to live with {P}erishing {T}hese {S}tifling “Demons”.
Whoever said America is not a country, is an idiot. America is what most people call the USA, since why would anyone want to call us United States of Americans?
I know, I'm just trolling doorknobs. North America is not a country, America is. China is a country even though its "real" name is peoples republic of china.
Devon™ Ziegler America is a our nickname but the official name is the United States of America, remember Columbus discover "America" back in 1492 no USA back then... I call it USA or the United States of America, not really "America"...
I’ve had this song set up as my phone’s alarm for over 4 years and I’m STILL not sick of it. That’s a testament to just how damn good a song can be-that it doesn’t have any little bits or sounds or anything that have annoyed me yet. Wow.
Flavio R. that's cool how you want to live in Canada and want to visit America. Let me just say, Canada is a lot colder than Brazil. So before you head to Canada, bundle up, you don't want to get hypothermia.
Some of the comments in this video are so unnecessary. This was made to respect those who have died to protect others. No country is perfect, and America is definitely not perfect, but we should be thankful for what we have. People die everyday protecting America and this song was made to honor those people. Honestly we should be more thankful for what we have. Despite wether or not we think we have the best leadership we should be thankful. There are so many countries that don’t have what we have so we are blessed everyday by just living here. The same goes for tons of other countries out there. With that said, God bless America! And God bless the world!
I couldn't agree with this comment more. People get too caught up in politics, and sure there are many issues, but we are so blessed. So many countries are filled with homeless people starving, mobs, lack of leadership and enforcement, drugs, slaves, and just horrible conditions in general. How can I complain cause I have to pay more taxes on my bread, when some don't get access to food in general. God bless this country, and God bless you for having the right mindset. 👍
Wow I love this song and the music video. I hear a lot of how many countries don't like America but seeing the American way of life (I presume sometime in the 50's I don't know) seems very sweet and honest. There is no religious persecution, you are treated (I think pretty fairly) and everyone has equal rights. People in America go so crazy if one little mess up happens and they are allowed to talk about it through Freedom of Speech while other countries mess up all the time and force you to like it. So I guess you could say we take for granted a little and also that America is a great place to just visit or live, In my opinion, this is just my point of view.
aems24 I think they blow the racial tension way out of proportion. Do you honestly think there was that many people that treated others with such disregard as how the media or federal education likes to portray?
120masterpiece Are you kidding? Do some research, dude. The 50's and 60's were awful times of racial tension. People being torn apart by dogs, firehoses being used to spray innocent people until they could hardly even walk, churches and houses burned down, MLK shooting...I could go on. Read a history book.
aems24 How old are you? Seriously. Yea, stuff like that happened, no doubt, but do you honestly think that happened every single day in every single town, city and village? That's how you people make it sound. Ok, I'm getting the feeling you have very poor reading comprehension, so read this very, very carefully and slowly. Are you ready skippy?

Is it not amazing that such the simple word America can induce such feelings of hatred and disgust? Why can people not just accept that America is a country founded for a good reason, that despite its few mistakes in the past, has worked for good and strived to live up to the vision of its founders? Has the education system robbed people of their reason? Have they caused people to derive their own world view from passion, which was spoon fed to them by their college professors and high school teachers? We have to look back no further than the Greeks to find the root of western civilization, from which we came from. They valued reason over passion, and the triumph of civilization over barbarism. Even with their polytheistic view, which we have grown out of, they could understand that passion does not build empires, and passion does not teach society to better itself. Reason triumphs. And we have lost sight of that.
Hit it right on the nail, I go to university and the indoctrination that kids receive here to dislike the United States is crazy. People are thinking too much with their pathos and not their logos.
With all the protests going on now, as a European (Austria) I just wanted to tell you guys from the US that you should not stop being proud of your country. The things that the American Idea stands for (Individual freedom, democracy, equal opportunity) are the corner stones of our Western world. And you literally saved the free world (together with the UK) during WWII. So don´t let anyone tell you that you should hate your country. Yes there are dark parts of your history and you made mistakes, like any other country. It doesn´t matter wether you are blue or red, what matters is wether or not not you share those basic ideas that your country was founded on.
This is my favorite song in my playlist. So simple yet so strong, makes me proud to be an American, even with the current world (majority American) hating on my beautiful country. 🇺🇸
"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies" The American's Creed William Tyler Page- 1917
***** I wish our Congress would also study that Creed a little bit. Remember the system of checks and balances? One person does not control the whole government. We are steadily losing more and more of our voice as a people to lobbies and corporations. There are many problems with all of our leaders. This video should remind us of what we want to get back to.
Kathi L Kopacz you are right, i think most of the leaders in Washington needs to take a look at the constitution, especially the commander and chief who just loves to bypass the whole checks and balances system by signing executive orders about things that should be put through congress.
I love how this song is dedicated not only to the people who fought for our freedom, but the people who broke their backs building this Nation's cities, roads, railroads, etc. We owe more gratitude to America's construction workers, farmers, and other "blue collar" workers, past and present, than we realize.

That wasnt enough to pay off the corporations debts, so FDR went ahead and put you and me and every other American up as the security. He literally securitized our flesh and made us debt slaves. This was done through the birth certificate and Social Security. The name on your birth certificate is you. They unlawfully converted you into a sub-corporation of their fraudulent and deceptive corporation. This is not the only country this has happened to, we are all victims of this fraud, not just America.

For all the ones that gave until they died
Don't you hold back
I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free
And I feel you close

Facts
"If you take advantage of everything America has to offer there's nothing you can't accomplish"
My Italian grandfather took that literally and has achieved his American dream. Came to America working 3 jobs at once with nothing in his pocket now he has 5 apartment buildings in the states and in Italy.
He once told his friend in Italy that in America it's always dark.
Bewildered his friend said what do you mean?
My grandfather said well u leave in the morning for work it's dark by the time u come home at night it's dark as well. 😬
My grandfather is a strong donator to the wounded Warrior Project. Nothing in this country is possible without veterans and future veterans of this country. Thank you!🇺🇸
I wish I had flag emojis on my 📱 too. 😢😢😢
shaserdeses God bless you and your family. We’re all Americans, under one flag, under one government, under one national anthem, under one president. We have to learn to live like our older ones, and stop with all this Red/Blue crap. Together, we will continue to rule this world until dawn of mankind. Not like we’re going to give up that spot anytime soon. The Chinese can dream on, no-one will ever surpass America.

@@braydenbronstein1190 no one can pass America but at this point in time the American leaders (My leaders) want us to drop down in the dumps. I agree the red and blue is getting pretty darn weird but cheating on an election I mean come on now🙁
To everyone who commented in this comment section and is from a different country (I'm sure most of you know who you are), we thank you for your kind words. Many Americans themselves don't like this country and how we are often portrayed or represented these days. But you've helped reassure us to feel good about our nationality, including me. Of course, we still have many shameful flaws. However, I'm very happy you guys have found a way to look past them. And so, from the bottom of all our hearts, we thank you for your inspiring words. :-)
(Just wanted to include these since it is causing a controversy in the comments.) 1: The term "America" can be applied to all countries technically in the "America's". But, it is also used as a shorter term for "United States of America". For all we know, they may have wanted to keep the song title short and simple. 2: Like I said, we have flaws. And most of us aren't afraid to recognize them. But really, no country is truly "safe" from a dark history or "pure" in terms of "perfectionism without fault". Change and development is always underway in many nations. And change can be considered a conflict one must go through to help themselves and other people around them. For nations, change is often debilitating and reckless. But it is a process everyone must go through, one way or another. Otherwise, if you still don't believe me, try playing a game of Civilization without somehow starting a war with another empire or them starting a war with you. Lol. ^_^
It takes a true patriot to type that, good on you man. And thanks for supporting our nation.
Very inspiring words. I am Australian but this still will mean a lot to other people. Keep making this world a better place, Jazzy. You are a true patriot for typing those words.
The problem is that there is so much pressure on schools, on the educators who already tend to lean left, to teach the wrong that America has done. They drill it into kids heads to the point where we have a generation of kids that feel the need to right these wrongs that are long gone. A generation that feels the need to spread the idea that Americans are entitled and should be ashamed. Newsflash, America is exceptional. We aren't inherently better people, America is exceptional because the ideas that our country was founded on are exceptional. America is the only country that was founded on an Idea. Give us liberty and justice; and we, the people, can do the rest. A beautiful idea that has spread throughout the world. Capitalism isn't the moral solution. There will be people that get fucked over, there will be people that get swallowed whole, chewed up, and spit back out. Not everyone starts at the same place, life isn't fair. Capitalism is a machine. But its a machine that doesn't care who you are, what you look like, or where you came from and that is a beautiful fucking thing.

Acts of atrocity are not limited to a single nation. It doesn't matter who you are, what your ethnicity or nationality is, who your god is or what your culture is like. Each country has its own brutal history: America has its slavery, the Native Americans have their tribal wars, the native Australians have their genocides and the Japanese and Chinese have done horrible things to each other, to name just a few.
It's not what nation you come from or what you believe that produces the hate, really. It's the fact that we're all human and every human is capable of the worst kind of crimes against their fellows.
I never knew about this Imagine Dragons song, how patriotic of them. And a great song too! Definitely has a different sound to it then their newer music.

America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.
thank you for that comment. all my ancestors who have fought for this country, or for the Confederates since most of ancestors are Southeners, would be grateful for such a comment. My grandfather fought during the Vietnam War and not enough people thanked him for his service, whether that be towards him or all the soldiers of the Vietnam War, it is gratifying to see people still support the military like yourself. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "God Bless You".
howard baxter I am a Southerner myself....Straight from Houston, Texas and we don't need to fight anyone out there to know we're the best - That goes for America.
As for the American Civil War
May they R.I.P to both the Confederates and the Unionists, because all of them were Americans and let there never be another war like that.
Randy Blonde
Agreed, on both the thing with Southerners being the best and hoping there is not another war like the Civil War ever again. What pisses me off is that history books make the Confederates look like evil monsters when they are still Americans fighting for what they think best. I am glad that someone else in this world at least appreciates them and finds that there deaths are American deaths as well.
Randy Blonde I respect and appreciate them, but to bad they're fighting and dying for the damn corrupt government. I know they dont fight for the government but still it's a shame.
howard baxter Evil is just an illusion my boy.

God I remember when life was just so much simpler than what it is nowadays. Back when this was released back in 2010 I was sitting at home on a couch as a kid watching cartoons and playing in the streets. Now im just sat at home self isolating and wondering if ill survive this pandemic. This song over the years has given me hope in the darkest of times. its a song about loving your country, and although im not american I know what its like to be free and have hopes and dreams. Great song.
Oh my goodness man. Sad. Pandemic?
Dear god so dramatic. Get a grip
hohoh is that James may
yeah life was pretty much easier
This song is a hidden gem.
Yes
I am an American, And yes our country is not perfect. But no country is perfect. War and slavery has stretched all the way across the world. People can say how the natives were pretty much slaughtered. And they would be right. But we are not the only country to do such savage things. Japan has had its own civil wars. China has had its own wars. Europe has had its fair share. If we start to condemn others, we condemn ourselves. Even if you are not religious, this Holy Bible verse holds truth regardless: "Before you mention the spec in your brothers eye, first remove the log in your own eye". we are all guilty. All country's have done wrong. We can only try to improve ourselves. Which is true about our country's as well.
Yes! Very true! I just hope we learn from the mistakes of others!
Yeah, and if people really think we slaughtered the natives, you have to remember those people were from Great Britain. Some may argue that they were still Americans, but you have to take that into consideration. And btw, how do you think the rest of the world was settled?
All good but you cant just keep on entering every country you think its messed up and doing whatever you want there. And its pretty obvious that most of the times you people dont look for the best of the country where you are getting involved, you just cares about stealing all you can, no matter how many people die or how you are destroying the country. Why do you think that you have terrorism from that countrys? You enter to their countrys you bomb everything and you think that you are doing the things right? You have to have concecuenses.. You people think that you are the kings of the world or somthing.. just accept that you are just a fucking country. Let other people resolve their own issues becouse you always make it even worse. Peace
That was a nice comment. And yes, Americas government does like to get into everyones business. Me, as well as many other Americans, are against getting into everyone else's business. But America was once an isolationist country. We tried to stay out of everyones business. But America has been pulled into everyones business. And since when does America bomb and kill everyone?
iroshima, nagasaki, does it sound any bells?

You’re the dumb one if you seriously believe those AMERICANS ARE STUPID AND IGNORANT videos. They’re staged. Americans are in general very smart people. Heck, we invested 700 billion dollars into rebuilding Europe after it was completely destroyed. We dominate the world in all aspects, and will continue to do so forever.

Ranked Up nice profile pic and me too
Many people's comments are extremely disrespectful. This song isn't about how great America is, this song is an ode to the soldiers that fight everyday to keep you and me safe (well if you live in America). Even if you don't agree with the government's choices, soldiers put their lives on the line for us and many times we fail to give them the credit they deserve. The members of the military are much braver and more courageous than any of us could ever hope to be. So the song is good to Veterans Day. =]

happy 4th of july,i post this to late :p
I'd have to agree. I don't take my country for granted. Opportunities for me are limitless, if you work hard and don't make excuses.. like the Americans that came before us
My Grandpa, Great-grandpa and the rest of the men in my family have been in almost all of the American wars. My great Grandpa who fought in World War 2 was a captain of a flying squadron of the fighter aircraft. He flew a P-51 mustang fighter. Me being myself love this beautiful country and decided to carry on the tradition and join the US Airforce when I grow up. My great-Grandpa told me how hard it is but that's the risk I'm willing to take just because I love my country.
Wow great respect for your family
That's amazing! I also share a similiar family history. My ancestors date back to pre- American Revolution. I have an ancestors who fought in the American Revolution, the Civil War, almost WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War. My grandfather was a POW in the Vietnam War. I plan to join the US Air Force after I graduate high school. I love my country, because in my opinion it is the GREATEST country in the world. That is my OPINION. The statement that a nation is the greatest is an opinion, many say that it is fact. However, I say it is a personnal truth to many as well as myself. I love my country, the bases as to which it stands for. Many above said that the our Founding Fathers were hypocrites for saying "All men are created equal" and then being slave owners. To start, if they had abolished slavery in the Constitution at that time there would be no USA. Most of the southern economy was based on slavery and major agricultural economy. Before the Civil War there were pushes in Congress to slowly push out slavery. After the Civil War, the South's economy was devistated. Looking and learning about USA history is long and interesting and heartbreaking and hopeful. When I was in USA History last year it was drilled into my head by my teacher that our country is not perfect, it has done many horrendus things, but it has also done so many amazing things. Did you know that the USA is the most charitable nation on the planet? We are taught that it is our duty, as human beings to help others regardless of reprecussions. The truth is that our goverment has sone many bad things, and so have all other governments. We are not infallible. The USA is a young nation, less than 300 years. We are one of the largest and most populated nations on the planet. Previous comments say our nation is corrupt, but every nation is corrupt. There are nations were people live in dumps because that is the only place than can get food. I can say as an American, I am almost stupidly lucky to have been born here. Other people want to know why we're a "fat, arrogant, stupid, lazy, racist, sexist, etc." Well here's the answer: we are human. Just because we are born in another location on this planet that is held up to this expectation to be perfect does not mean we are. Every country is made up of humans.

Not really. I don't remember Iraq or Pakistan become a bastion of liberty, and prevent the world from falling into the hands of a totalitarian state. Also, Hitler doesn't really approve of this, "liberty" thing. So, no. It's not applicable to literally every nation and every person. It's not even applicable to any other nation or person. That's why it's called "America."
I haven't heard this song in years. It felt like I was back in highschool again. I'm grateful for the life I have here in America, and I aim to make the most of things. Life is wonderful, and os something to cherish and take by the reigns. Make your life yours where you can. The things that are the most worth it are the ones you're willing to work hard to get to or achieve.
I cannot get this song out of my head. Every time I hear it, I physically feel it run through my body. Very few songs touch my soul and make me feel proud to be a patriot. Their line -- “Lift me up - Give me strength to press on.” -- Perfectly captures why I’m still here and continue, to go to my VetCenter appointments, to learn how to live with {P}erishing {T}hese {S}tifling “Demons”.
Someone in the comments below said America is not a country...He right... 'Murica is a way of life...
^Preach it!!!^
Whoever said America is not a country, is an idiot. America is what most people call the USA, since why would anyone want to call us United States of Americans?
I know, I'm just trolling doorknobs.
North America is not a country, America is.
China is a country even though its "real" name is peoples republic of china.
Devon™ Ziegler lol
Devon™ Ziegler America is a our nickname but the official name is the United States of America, remember Columbus discover "America" back in 1492 no USA back then... I call it USA or the United States of America, not really "America"...
2020 anyone ?
This is so relaxing. Stay happy guys. You deserve much better . Love y’all
I love you back
@@cr1s1s0ff41th same bro
I’ve had this song set up as my phone’s alarm for over 4 years and I’m STILL not sick of it. That’s a testament to just how damn good a song can be-that it doesn’t have any little bits or sounds or anything that have annoyed me yet. Wow.
Im English but i love this song. I have always wanted to go America. Someday!!!!
My too man I´m Brazilian one day I would like to Know USA and if possible live in Canadá xd.
nice. good luck man :)
Tanks buddy likewise!!!
Flavio R. that's cool how you want to live in Canada and want to visit America. Let me just say, Canada is a lot colder than Brazil. So before you head to Canada, bundle up, you don't want to get hypothermia.
I know I don´t like from the weather of Brazil it´s very hot I prefer the cold some times looks like the hell.
I HEAR THIS SONG ALMOST 20 TIMES A WEEK YET STILL NOT BORE EVEN IM FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY
somebody says he is stil listening...
Only Imagine Dragons could make a song about The United States of America so beautiful and on point
Jared Sherman you ever heard the national anthem?
(Except for the National Anthem 😂)
Some of the comments in this video are so unnecessary. This was made to respect those who have died to protect others. No country is perfect, and America is definitely not perfect, but we should be thankful for what we have. People die everyday protecting America and this song was made to honor those people. Honestly we should be more thankful for what we have. Despite wether or not we think we have the best leadership we should be thankful. There are so many countries that don’t have what we have so we are blessed everyday by just living here. The same goes for tons of other countries out there. With that said, God bless America! And God bless the world!
I couldn't agree with this comment more. People get too caught up in politics, and sure there are many issues, but we are so blessed. So many countries are filled with homeless people starving, mobs, lack of leadership and enforcement, drugs, slaves, and just horrible conditions in general. How can I complain cause I have to pay more taxes on my bread, when some don't get access to food in general. God bless this country, and God bless you for having the right mindset. 👍
Happy birthday America
I'm Welsh, but i've got to admit, I absolutely adore this song. Hope I can go to America some day!
"You will always be welcome here in my house"
America truly is a special country. I'm thankful for everyone who sacrificed in any way for this country. It has saved many lives.
those three piano notes are just beautiful
Happy birthday America
All AMERICANS need to see this hear this!
Wow I love this song and the music video. I hear a lot of how many countries don't like America but seeing the American way of life (I presume sometime in the 50's I don't know) seems very sweet and honest. There is no religious persecution, you are treated (I think pretty fairly) and everyone has equal rights. People in America go so crazy if one little mess up happens and they are allowed to talk about it through Freedom of Speech while other countries mess up all the time and force you to like it. So I guess you could say we take for granted a little and also that America is a great place to just visit or live, In my opinion, this is just my point of view.
Well, I would agree with you, but the 50's had a lot of racial tension, so (unfortunately) about being treated fairly. :/
Oh yeah that is right, I forgot about that aems24
aems24 I think they blow the racial tension way out of proportion. Do you honestly think there was that many people that treated others with such disregard as how the media or federal education likes to portray?
120masterpiece Are you kidding? Do some research, dude. The 50's and 60's were awful times of racial tension. People being torn apart by dogs, firehoses being used to spray innocent people until they could hardly even walk, churches and houses burned down, MLK shooting...I could go on. Read a history book.
aems24 How old are you? Seriously. Yea, stuff like that happened, no doubt, but do you honestly think that happened every single day in every single town, city and village? That's how you people make it sound. Ok, I'm getting the feeling you have very poor reading comprehension, so read this very, very carefully and slowly. Are you ready skippy? Stuff like that did happen, but not to the extend you think it did.
Since I was almost 2 years old My mom has been listening to this with me. Now I'm 13 and still cherishing this underrated gem 💎.
This makes me feel one emotion ... Murica!
Then why is your picture the flag pf treason and rebellion against the United States?
*of
its a battle flag
Joe G Treason? Their rights were being stripped from them so they rebelled. Hardly treason.
+Disdain for Plebs Which rights?
I am no American but I respect them cause they give us freedom from Philippines 🇵🇭 still your number one allied 🇺🇸

Remember what we have done and don’t worry about our future as a nation. We have won wars and had people land on the moon. We aren’t the best sure but we will make it work
Honestly I love the positivity in these comments they make me happy to see
Is it not amazing that such the simple word America can induce such feelings of hatred and disgust? Why can people not just accept that America is a country founded for a good reason, that despite its few mistakes in the past, has worked for good and strived to live up to the vision of its founders? Has the education system robbed people of their reason? Have they caused people to derive their own world view from passion, which was spoon fed to them by their college professors and high school teachers? We have to look back no further than the Greeks to find the root of western civilization, from which we came from. They valued reason over passion, and the triumph of civilization over barbarism. Even with their polytheistic view, which we have grown out of, they could understand that passion does not build empires, and passion does not teach society to better itself. Reason triumphs. And we have lost sight of that.
Jaredninja13 I salute you!
Adrian u like detroit history or u live in detroit now?
lol, "few mistakes"
Hahaha america its not a country its a continent
Hit it right on the nail, I go to university and the indoctrination that kids receive here to dislike the United States is crazy. People are thinking too much with their pathos and not their logos.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ARE BEST FRIENDS AMERICA
FROM UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🤟👍
this is a song the world needs to hear now
Yes, indeed. America is still the world's Cinderella and She cannot go to sleep... the world needs America, its leadership and its values.
Yes
With all the protests going on now, as a European (Austria) I just wanted to tell you guys from the US that you should not stop being proud of your country. The things that the American Idea stands for (Individual freedom, democracy, equal opportunity) are the corner stones of our Western world. And you literally saved the free world (together with the UK) during WWII. So don´t let anyone tell you that you should hate your country. Yes there are dark parts of your history and you made mistakes, like any other country. It doesn´t matter wether you are blue or red, what matters is wether or not not you share those basic ideas that your country was founded on.
Love this comment♥️❤️♥️
There are certain mistakes like slavery that are inexcusable and there still affecting today’s world with racism so there’s really no excuse
I'm an Filipino and I'm proud what they do to my country thanks to all american back then ❤️❤️
God bless you in the Philippines!
I live in India but I will be insanely PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN... I will be a American...🇺🇸😎
Hail America !
You live in India but you are proud to be
an American... how is that possible?
12yrs ago and still listening to this masterpiece
This is my favorite song in my playlist. So simple yet so strong, makes me proud to be an American, even with the current world (majority American) hating on my beautiful country. 🇺🇸
Rise to the top of the world America!
This song always makes my cry of nostalgia and joy
"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies"
The American's Creed
William Tyler Page- 1917
pero si saben que america es todo el contiente y no solo estados unidos???
tambien hagan comentarios de los otros paises,
***** I wish our Congress would also study that Creed a little bit. Remember the system of checks and balances? One person does not control the whole government. We are steadily losing more and more of our voice as a people to lobbies and corporations. There are many problems with all of our leaders. This video should remind us of what we want to get back to.
Kathi L Kopacz you are right, i think most of the leaders in Washington needs to take a look at the constitution, especially the commander and chief who just loves to bypass the whole checks and balances system by signing executive orders about things that should be put through congress.
Remember ?
this actually almost made me cry this is so good
Once a masterpiece , always a masterpiece..❤️
America is not a country, it’s not its politicians, its crimes: it’s the beautiful people that everyday work for making that country better.
