Jobu Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It is quite simple actually. If you are in America (and we are) the sun rises over the Atlantic ocean and sets over the Pacific. If you are singing the song in the morning, the shining sea is obviously the Atlantic. If you are singing the song in the afternoon, the shining sea would be the Pacific. Capiche?

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hey Pal: "This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me." Well if the song says that the same land belongs to everybody, I'm not sure that such socialist ideology has any place in the patriotic songs of a capitalist nation. The deeper I look, the more disturbing the submersive lyrics of our patriotic songs get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
