The Battle Cry of Freedom (Bon Ivers’ version) Yes we’ll rally round the flag y’all, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom, We will rally from the hillside, rally from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah! Down with the traitors, and up with the stars; While we rally round the flag y’all, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! We will welcome to our number the loyal, true and brave, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! And although he may be poor, not a man shall be a slave, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! The Union forever! The boys, hurrah, hurrah! And down with the traitors, and up with the stars; While we rally round the flag y’all, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
This is what we are fighting for. Against Russian interference, against fascism, for the poor & hungry, for the stretched and overworked middle class, for the single mothers and fathers, for the veteran, for the unhoused, for the drug addict needing a life line, for the teacher and the coal miner, for the honest police and the school janitor, for the downtrodden and the well off seeking to do good, for the armed forces, for America. 💙🇺🇸
Russia won’t have time to organize its Internet Research Agency propaganda outlet while also dealing with Ukraine giving them a taste of their own medicine. Things could not be going worse for fascists than it is right now
@@Tuesday2022 James McPherson chose battle cry of freedom as title of his one volume civil war history book for this reason, it's a song sung by both sides.
They also stole the flag and bastardize it by festooning their clothing with it and changing its colors to blue and black to mindlessly worship the police. It will be nice to finally be able to fly the flag again without your neighbors assuming you’re a jingoistic MAGA idiot.
The Confederacy thought America needed the slave economy. But less that 20 years after the end of slavery, America became the wealthiest nation on Earth-- as a free country!
@@FreezyAbitKT7A There was lots s of chanting. I only have the very first one of “This is what democracy looks like”. Lots of “we’re not going back” and “Kamala”. Justin Vernon talks a bit before this, it’s included in other videos that are longer than mine
@@FreezyAbitKT7A I wasn’t aware seems like there’s a lot better videos that you can see the musicians in…but I definitely got the crowd shotI’m guessing maybe 9k people standing there,
Optimism and joyful warriors wil win out. Love and hope is much more sustanable than Trumps hate speaches.. Chris Rock and Hulk Hogan - really ? The voice of America ? I think not.
@@Tuesday2022 bruv, I'm just talking about one of my favorite songs, I'm not alone when I say it's a bad rendition, not a dig against their music or style just don't put this song in that style doesn't fit
This should be our theme song 😢💙❤️🔥💙❤️🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Battle Cry of Freedom (Bon Ivers’ version)
Yes we’ll rally round the flag y’all, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will rally from the hillside, rally from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, and up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag y’all, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
We will welcome to our number the loyal, true and brave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although he may be poor, not a man shall be a slave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
The Union forever! The boys, hurrah, hurrah!
And down with the traitors, and up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag y’all, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
How can you not cry listening to this and knowing what is happening in our country right now ?😢
@@Ebeee149 true dat
This is our anthem…
I think this version makes a person stop and think about the lyrics more and it really touches the heart. We need this so much!
Love it that it's the 💙 Kamala Walz 💙 placards that are being held up to accompany this stirring music
battlecry of freedom needs to be sung at the dnc
The American left needs to embrace the history of the Union more since the right has mostly embraced the Confederacy.
Down with the traitors, up with the star!
This nails the mood with what is happening to take so many hard fought freedoms away. A rallying cry for the pro democracy forces 💙 Kamala + Walz 💙
I totally agree.
Remember: this is your republic too.
Up with the star! The Union for fucking ever.
Yea brother. This is the theme of the movement to end MAGA
Amen, brother!!!!
This is what we are fighting for. Against Russian interference, against fascism, for the poor & hungry, for the stretched and overworked middle class, for the single mothers and fathers, for the veteran, for the unhoused, for the drug addict needing a life line, for the teacher and the coal miner, for the honest police and the school janitor, for the downtrodden and the well off seeking to do good, for the armed forces, for America. 💙🇺🇸
I love what you wrote! Thank you! The battle cry of freedom indeed!
Russia won’t have time to organize its Internet Research Agency propaganda outlet while also dealing with Ukraine giving them a taste of their own medicine. Things could not be going worse for fascists than it is right now
WELL SAID!!!! Thank you for speaking truth when it matters the most.
Help to push this as the Harris rally song. This is how we take the the term “patriot” back from the MAGA assholes whole stole it from us…
That was beautifully written. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Absolutely beautiful and with Harris/Walz we have a chance to save our democracy.
I read a civil war confederate officer heard this tune and felt a sense of doom for his cause …maybe Maga will feel the same
@@danieltossounian1962 it was such a popular song that the confederacy just wrote their own words and both sides used it.
@@Tuesday2022 James McPherson chose battle cry of freedom as title of his one volume civil war history book for this reason, it's a song sung by both sides.
Don't you wish.
@@suzvalentino1901 just you wait …
I think someone on Trump's team feels same because they picked the song from Titanic! Sinking ship over there!
Up with the stars! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Down with the traitors!
Thanks for posting. REAL veterans and active duty military personnel condemn Vance’s attack on Walz. We WILL be voting accordingly!!!!!!!
I love this so much
Hurrah boys, hurrah!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful song!!!
And we’ll fill our vacant ranks with a million freemen more.. shouting the battle cry of freedom.
I love this! New campaign song? I like Bon Iver but this needs a more forceful voice. As if we’re being led into battle which we are!!
The original tempo is faster. Like 110 bpm.
@@jumboslice9414 I think this downbeat version carries more emotional weight, it just needs someone with a gruffer voice.
Long live the Union!!! Down with the traitors!!
🥺I love this so much
Are they gonna try to claim that this crowd was AI too? 😂
Learn theae lyrics people! Sing this! We have had our resistance aongs like this one stolen from us by the traitors.
They also stole the flag and bastardize it by festooning their clothing with it and changing its colors to blue and black to mindlessly worship the police. It will be nice to finally be able to fly the flag again without your neighbors assuming you’re a jingoistic MAGA idiot.
Very appropriate anthem now since MAGA is really the confederacy trying to rise again!
This fits perfectly with protecting our democracy. And only fly our American flag .
The Confederacy thought America needed the slave economy. But less that 20 years after the end of slavery, America became the wealthiest nation on Earth-- as a free country!
Love this song
💙🇺🇸💙vor for Kamala Harris💙🇺🇸💙2024💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
What are you afraid of , sing it like you mean it
The Union forever!
This needs to be played at the DNC.
Wow , true back then , true again .
anybody have the Democracy chant clip? was it before Bon Iver?
@@FreezyAbitKT7A There was lots s of chanting. I only have the very first one of “This is what democracy looks like”. Lots of “we’re not going back” and “Kamala”. Justin Vernon talks a bit before this, it’s included in other videos that are longer than mine
@@Tuesday2022 Was that your video re-posted on Meidas Touch channel?

Not Chris Rock, Kid Rock. Chris Rock is a great guy!
Love your comment
Interesting. Individually dressed people do not wear the same look. No red hats and banners.
Because they don’t view their political stance as a sports team, and they are not members of a literal cult.
❤❤❤
hooray thanks
No more trump no more maga no to project2025 HARRIS/WALS 2024🗳🇺🇸💙🎉
We wont go back 💙
A song for unionism 🇺🇸
Down with the Caesarists. Down with the corporatists. Down with the anti institutionalists.
The Union forever, boys!!
This should be the DNC anthem.
I like the Southern version.
Union forever!!!
This is an awful redition, it is not ment to be sung so slow by only one person. I presume many people here had never even heard it until now.
@@buddyjones71 I’m sorry you don’t get Bon Ivers style, but loosen up a little will ya?
@@Tuesday2022 bruv, I'm just talking about one of my favorite songs, I'm not alone when I say it's a bad rendition, not a dig against their music or style just don't put this song in that style doesn't fit
@@buddyjones71read the room it obviously fits for a lot of different people in this comment section alone.
