Indianas state anthem sounds like when an old person goes too tmi (1 Viewer)

So it starts off very fitting to Indiana, mentioning both Indiana and cornfields. Then it starts to get a bit nostalgic, remembering their mother from the past, and remembering strolling along the Wabash river, and then they start talking about a past love. A bit more weird, but nostalgia for a state/river in a state is still not too abnormal I guess.

And then they take inspiration from older people who just go way off topic and tmi and talk about how they loved this person but that person thought they were trolling ig and that they didn’t love her, and I guess she’s dead now because they mention a churchyard that she’s sleeping at? And idek if this is both the mom and the person they wanted to marry, or just the latter?

They go on to mention a couple sort of Indiana like things, like hay. Maybe a reach. But from what I gathered, Indiana has cornfields, hay, and people walking along riverbanks grieving loved ones/a loved one, and not getting over those deaths. I don’t live in Indiana but I’m just going to assume that not everyone in Indiana does that very often. The songs not bad, but why is it the state anthem?

I’m going to skip most of them because most are pretty unremarkable, but I’ll take a look at those and see if there was anything different about them. I do see that North Carolina was ranked really low so I may make a thread about that one. I forget exactly why it was ranked that low, so idk if it was low because it was bleh or if something about it is something I could point out

To be fair, I’d rather this than New Yorks. At least here they don’t have to keep telling you “this is so exciting!” Over and over

one eurovision song - basically a yearly version of state anthems for european countries - had "exciting" rhymed with lightning, made it the main point of the chorus and they lost. new york's state anthem should take notes

Interesting channel. Nevada's state anthem sounds pretty good.

It’s a pretty solid one. Comfortably in the top 50% per our rankings. And if you only consider songs written to be the anthem it’s all the way up to the tenth best (since some popular songs picked as anthems, but not written for that purpose, and they’re usually better because they weren’t trying to be anthems)

Home means Nevada, and Nevada means no one gets left behind
