[The Sound of Music]

[(Anonymous)]

That song always makes me a little teary-eyed.

I do have a soft spot for The Star-Spangled Banner, but I think that mostly has to do with fond memories of high school marching band.

[kallanda_lee]

This is entirely acceptable.

[(Anonymous)]

I think "Oh Canada" is pretty lovely.

Edelweiss is a beautiful song, but is it that patriotic or is it more the context that makes it patriotic? It may be the national flower of Austria, but I don't know that just singing about a bald eagle is patriotic. Doing so in front of the invading nazi hoard? That's the patriotic part.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it has the line "Bless my homeland forever." And "Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever" is obviously symbolizing the country/people/culture, not just the flower.

Which is pretty damn patriotic, just in a non-jingoistic, non-rah-rah-war way. I think you just have an odd definition of "patriotic."

[(Anonymous)]

Nayrt - To be fair, ayrt may not have been expecting something relatively subtle.

[(Anonymous)]

I BEG your pardon?

Is that Edelweiss? I'm a bit screwed up on that song due to The Man in the High Castle.

[sabotabby]

It gives me the shivers every time. I love it. Plus, anti-Nazi patriotism is the kind of patriotism even a dirty commie like me can get behind.

[(Anonymous)]

iirc "Edelweiss" wasn't even a "real" song, it was written for the movie.

[littlecagedbird]

Written for the musical, yes.
It's not an old Austrian hymn; Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein made it up.

[(Anonymous)]

I love this song and the scenes where it's sung in the movie, but I'm trying to figure out how it's patriotic.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I think the patriotism of the way the movie uses the song is so strong that that essentially carries over into reality for a lot of people.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh? It's patriotic even without the context?

"Bless my homeland forever" isn't patriotic?

"Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever" isn't obviously about Austria's people/culture/land, not just the flower?

Patriotic =/= jingoistic or warlike.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Hey, I love this song, and I freaking ADORE The Sound Of Music. You're preaching to the choir here.

But other anon didn't seem to consider it patriotic despite that line, so I thought maybe the song having been created specifically for the story (as opposed to being an actual patriotic anthem created for the purpose of being patriotic) nullified the patriotism of it for them.

I don't know. Maybe trying asking them.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man that song always tears me up. It's they way they sing it.

It is a nice song.

[(Anonymous)]

For a made up anthem. I kind of like My Country Tis of Thee for itself and for it's history.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

It's a nice song, but my favourite patriotic song remains "Waltzing Matilda" for the amusing fact that for a song that is considered Australia's second anthem (and it's interim anthem in a period between "God Save the Queen" and "Advance Australia Fair") is basically a song about a sheep thief committing suicide to avoid the cops.

[litalex]

I'm rather fond of The Star-Spangled Banner, though I'm only a naturalized citizen and only remember the first two lines.

Have to listen to the Chinese one every time I turn on the TV too early for the news, 'cause I live in Hong Kong and the station always plays the Chinese national anthem before the news.

[(Anonymous)]

this is really embarassing because this is the sound of music and I'm a german but... Everytime I watch "Cabaret" I get the Nazi-Anthem "Tomorrow belongs to me" they sing at the Beergarden stuck in my head. It's so catchy, I love it! ...but of couse I can't go singing that one aloud, can I? (Maybe I should sign up as an extra when they next play it in my city, be a stage nazi, sing it and get it out of my system...)

[fishnchips]

Ugh, I get you. That song is so deceptively pretty and catchy... but then again, it was meant to be, so... good work, composer?
