Here is a
brand new melody to the
famous words by Francis
Scott Key. Inspired by a
story from Native
American Sarah Winnemucca
Hopkins, Kile wondered
what a Star-Spangled
Banner, untethered to
memory, feeling its way
through pride, atrocity,
and respect for an ideal
might sound like.
Imagining a wonder at our
now well-known words in
this early light, with
their questions and fear.
Does the flag still fly?
Are the people still free
and brave?
