I asked my late husband to perform this song in his concerts - love the meaning - ...every time the audience was in tears.....

[@statenyoung8577]

Phenomenal song. Still hits home today. I love the original by Tommy so much! It’s great to hear this one from Josh Groban. Can’t believe I’m just finding it seven years later as I love both the song and Josh Groban.

[@organicskating]

I love this song! Josh's interpretations and phrasing are always appropriately elegant! Better when his voice has aged too! Gorgeous!

[@brianganley8514]

I've been listening to him for 13 years and his voice STILL gives me goosebumps :)

[@richardiru9587]

No man, no madness Though their sad power may prevail Can possess, conquer, my country's heart They rise to fail She is eternal Long before nations' lines were drawn When no flags flew, when no armies stood My land was born And you ask me why I love her Through wars, death and despair She is the constant, we who don't care And you wonder will I leave her - but how? I cross over borders but I'm still there now How can I leave her? Where would I start? Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart My land's only borders lie around my heart

[@KSMATTES]

So glad you posted the lyrics to this song on here! Thanx, Kathy

[@trongdyhuynhvu7016]

The lyric is fantastic. Well done Josh Groban, you've covered Tommy Koberg's song. It's a powerful song to me.

[@anaileana5075]

An Anthem in itself is uplifting! But Josh, with his incomparable voice, makes it even more exciting and uplifting!

[@patty7beth]

As we live through this dark moment in U.S. history this song holds deeper meaning for me. "No man, no madness Though their sad power may prevail Can possess or conquer my country's heart They rise to fail. " America is a noble ideal - a lofty vision beyond any petty tyrant. We need to hold on to that ideal in our hearts & defend it. Love this song so much!

[@paulieinct]

The man and his voice are a national treasure. His rendition of this song flawless and stirring.

[@vervideosgiros1156]

Whoever orchestrated this version NEEDS to do the whole score! This number gives me chills EVERY TIME!

[@xak999]

It sounds good here, but there are far too many instruments than they could afford to have in a traditional orchestra pit for regular performances.

[@melmagnofilmcompany4460]

I can imagine a world without countries but not a life without you, Josh Groban...

[@jbrettyoo3952]

He touches people's heart because he sings with deep sympathy and emotion.

[@matthewandrew1947]

I have listened to both Tommy and Josh carefully. Both are great singers! They each have very different voice qualities that make them hard to compare. Josh is a lyric baritone, Tommy a tenor. Tommy is strong, clear, good intonation. Josh, being a baritone with extended upper range, sounds bigger, richer, fuller, and he also has great intonation. When Josh "unleashes the beast" as he says, he has the power of a 747 on take off. This was a common comment on his Anthem at the live RAH production in 2008. People who had never heard him were stunned! Rarely does anyone get standing ovations in the middle of a production. It comes down to personal preference, but I prefer Joshes version because of his good emotion, and the very quality of his baritone voice. He is just unique.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

For me Tommy is better

[@nystrompalannetmaria594]

@@KZbin_Globetrotter for me as well, Josh sings pretty, Tommy sings with passion.

JOSH GROBAN - MAKES ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON - HIS MUSIC INSPIRING AND BREATHTAKING

[@ozalice96]

I must admit, this song was not on my radar until I fully comprehend the lyrics. It made such a huge impact on me that I started to savour the song more intensely rather than casually. Then, Josh bowled me over with his breath- taking vocal elevating the song to be included on my Play List.

It's even better when you also ;-) know the context.

[@Zeyev]

I always want to stand when I hear this song. In the context of the play, the singer is singing about a specific country but the text is moving to anyone with a homeland. And your performance is stirring.

[@Venom.1220]

Which countrys anthem is this? Im minded to say checkoslavakia but thats only by the abbreviation. (Chess)

[@Objectif56]

stuffandthingsism Not at all!!!! Czechoslovakia (which by the way doesn't exist since it peacefully split into two independent countries in 1993) has an anthem that was written by a playwrighter back in the 19th century. This song Josh interprets was written for the musical Chess (meaning the game chess).

[@DenSanAZ]

In other words - you don't know, since you didn't answer the question, just gave a smart-ass reply.

[@Objectif56]

I do - Josh played a role of a Russian chess player in the musical, so the anthem was written to represent that country. And yes, I am a smartass, thank you for the compliment!

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

Dennis Sanderson it's a perfectly good reply. It's not a national anthem, it's a song from a musical

[@MsMamie]

Josh you have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. My husband passed away four yrs. ago and I guess you could say your voice got me through all the hard times, and there were many. I started out with/ to where you are then you are loved. Now I listen to you every day on KZbin, my husband and I were married 47yrs. when he passed. God bless you. 😇💞💕

[@johnthegreek5836]

[@joandunn864]

I bought the Stages CD for my Dad in 2018 it was his first time he had heard Josh Groban sing and he was hooked to the point of playing the cd endlessly personally don't blame him but he passed away 3 weeks ago so many songs he had not heard Josh singing such a shame this song was his favourite right until the end so fitting for my Dad such a strong song for a strong man love you always my wonderful father xxx

[@markmickey4523]

This song - words and lyrics - give me chills every I hear it. And Josh Groban's rendition is one of the best I've ever heard. I would vote for this song as an alternative national anthem!

[@cambridgeport90]

Give me Josh Groban or Michael Ball singing this, and I'm good.

[@mullumbimboy]

As a child of the 60s I have never been a nationalist and anthems generally make my flesh creep. But this one, precisely because it is not the anthem of any country (although in the story it is sung by a Russian about his own country) is worthy of every country. "My land's only borders lie around my heart!" brings me to tears every time I hear it.

[@judigamroth7736]

Why do anthems give you the creeps? I’m a child of the ‘60s also, and never had that reaction to our national anthem. Just curious.

[@mullumbimboy]

@@judigamroth7736 There's a saying, "Official art is artificial". And of course, not all who came to self awareness in the 60s would have done so with the same values. When you say our national anthem, are you referring to the Australian NA? If so, one example will do. How do you feel about the words "for we are young and free"?

[@ntjhnssntn95]

Brilliant rendition! It's heaven for the ears.

[@carolreid5405]

Josh, my eternal respect, love, for your exceptional talent, your character, demonstrated in everything you do, shows itself in your self deprecation, your genuine naturalness, regardless of who your with, a natural authenticity that always shines through. When you bring everyone along with you, as you do, life is always a tougher challenge. You demonstrate integrity in your self discipline, and incredible perseverance through it all. If you have helped significantly raise me up on a day that’s dreary, a longer walk alone, in all kinds of weather, through all kinds of stuff, then I can only imagine you have raised many souls, also, that you may never know. As music has always been my best antidote to depression, you have raised my good moods higher, with your choice of truly inspiring songs, cutting through the all the flak, giving your magnificent all and holding nothing back, you must have helped unknown millions in this world. You are for me a true gift to humanity. Thank you to the universe, for you in it. Thank you, Josh Groban.
