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?
Francis Scott Key and Kile Smith and Kile Smith
