Football / Do we have a new NATIONAL ANTHEM?
« on: September 09, 2010, 07:34:57 AM »
I want to know if in recent time someone did a remix of OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM because on Sunday while i was at the game, and feeling very proud of our Soca Princesses, i was very confused while singing OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. While i was singing, Side by side we stand, which is the second verse of OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM, the audio in the stadium was playing Here every creed and race find an equal place, and i questioned myself as if i did not even know OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM, i then said to myself maybe my mind was playing tricks on me and i left it like that.
Now, while settling down to watch the game on Wednesday at home i wondered to myself if the same thing would happen and yes it did to my disappointment. Once again the second verse was left out and for what reason, could someone explain the the national public as to why. We are hosting this tournament and there is no reason in my mind why we should truncate OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. Will any of the "FIRST WORLD" countries allow their NATIONAL ANTHEM to be truncated at any tournament? I somehow doubt that.
I don't know if it is possible for someone to shed some light on this disgusting situation for me because as a patriotic TRINI i would like the opportunity for the whole of OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM to be sung at this tournament and any other tournament that TRINIDAD and TOBAGO take part in.
On a final note, could someone please tell the Soca Princesses that it would be nice to see all of the girls singing OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM and not just a few, the other countries have been doing it.
