The Space Force, established in 2019, now has an official song. More about MOAA: www.MOAA.org. Join MOAA: www.MOAA.org/join More about the Space Force: www.MOAA.org/s...
The 3rd Starship Troopers movie has a song in it called 'A Good Day to Die' that is way better than this. Whoever put this together wasn't doing their part.
I think the reason this song isn't what anyone was expecting was purposefully to have that sort of classical feel, it's a bit more timeless, any honestly I can picture this being played just before some ceremony with like everyone shaking hands as the general is about to give a speech in Dome #3, with the surface of the Moon in the background, contrasted by the hanging red white and blue.
It's because all the branches have similar songs. They're all marches, of roughly the same length, at about 120bpm, one octave singing range so any grunt can sing it even if it's out of tune.
the space force theme got the same energy as: "To save our Mother Earth from any Alien attack! From vicious Giant Insects who have once again come back! We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack! THE E.D.F. DEPLOYS!!"
I understand why this song was created and licensed. It was done out of respect for tradition. You can't expect soldiers to twerk to rap music in a parade. But if you want extreme good music, ask John Williams. Who better to do space music than him? Or if there's no budget for it, take the vocals out of the music and mix the music professionally, because it's too retro now!
No hook? Every branch has a hook. 'Anchors Away', 'army goes rolling along', 'off we go into the wild blue yander', 'united states marines'. I can't picture Space Force Guardians in a bar singing this thing for pride.
When I think of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force anthems, I feel like the Space Force song needs a little more work to get to their level of majesty.
It's missing the sound of pew pew pew lasers and the woosh of the fusion drive before warp speed (nobody's got it like Alexander Courage 's Star Trek theme)
After the med beds to reset anatomical spin to default factory settings, I'm going to join Marine Boot camp, with a focus on FORCE RECON, and then intention to move into Space Force as Earth Defense, Galaxy Defense, Super Cluster Defense, with the sole intention of Revising and updating the Musical arrangement of this song. :)
@@garouuchiha4041 Brilliantly argued rebuttal. Have you considered runnning for Prime Minister? Not that anyone asked for your opinion. I certainly didn't.
Next Friday is Veterans Day. My music teacher taught us about the Space Force song and even more, the Army, United States Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.
There should be a second verse: Counting down, the seconds fly, To the launch four, three, two one. Another star to guard and guide, our duty's never done. For our tale is yet untold, As to the stars we fly, 'Always above' that is our creed, We're the Space Force from on high.
@jasiduynguyen Well, yes. I was trying to emulate other branchs' songs. If counting cadence is good enough for the Army March, what better equivalent for the space force than a countdown? Luanching satelites is a part of their remit, including defence and GPS, which both guard and guide respectively, and are maintained guarded and guided by the Space Force. And it's an ongoing mission, unlike most other branches where missions mostly have a fixed purpose and length. It's a very new branch of the service, and will only expand as more stuff goes into space, and people follow. And if explicitly stating your motto is good enough for the US coastguard song, it should be good enough here. So basicallt I cobbled this together by mostly criibbing from other marches.
@@Name5240 This is anything but cool. This is just an embarrassnent. It's cheesy and way too old styled for the modern age of space exploration. The 1940s want their music back. The national anthems is cooler than this. I can make a cooler song than this and I'm not even a musician.
Yup, over on the Air Force feed on Instagram, people are complaining that it should have been more modern, but the thing is they had to blend with the vintage vibe of the other branches' theme songs. It also had to be conducive to a marching band. I think they accomplished that [invisible] mission.
Anchors aweigh and marine corps hymn are classic songs based within the era of its founding. This feels like a cheap imitation based of metris not yet founded.
Anchors Away was written in 1906, 130 years after the founding of the Navy. The Marine Corps Hymn was adapted in 1929 with the earliest version from around 1900 and refrences things that happened in the mid 1800s.
The glow of lasers 'cross the sky, Good folk, he's there to save the planet, Beware the death come from on high, You'd better respect him or can it! Blackadder, Blackadder, he's peeping from above, Blackadder, Blackadder, he's not a peaceful dove. Space! A place that's really wide, Space! A place where you can't hi-ide! He's got missiles and nukes galore, Beware, he's in charge of the whole corps! Blackadder, Blackadder, with many a cunning plan! Blackadder, Blackadder, now he's a space man!
I’m currently in the USSF and think this song is terrible. How are we showing the world we are on the cutting edge by creating a song from the 1940s. Those other Service songs sound the way they do because that was the style of the era. Now, instead of showcasing how advanced we are, we regress to music from almost a century ago (and just overall terrible song at that)? We could have been cutting edge and done something rock or at even EDM. This depressing rag sounds like something from Fallout or a post apocalyptic sci-fi movie. No thanks
The original WWII training film for the anti-tank bazooka is introduced with the song "Buckle Down Winsoicki" from the 1943 musical "Best Foot Forward." Look it up on CZcams. It's "Mastering the Bazooka Rocket Launcher - 1943"
For the Guardians about to rock we salute you. Locked cocked and ready to rock semper Fi no Lock and unload with no fear, even of death, fudge fear, Semper Supra. A beautiful anthem for our brother branch.
This feels like a composition a director would use to indicate that their sci-fi regime has lost all sense of competency or understanding of its public and their needs. Funny that.
The Netflix show Space Force had better ideas than this in their scene about picking an anthem, and that's a comedy show that intendedly picked bad ideas for the humor.
Oh, we've had warrior astronauts for years. But there hasn't been much fighting in space, so they don't get as much recognition as the air or ground troops. There's a reason this calls them the INVISIBLE front line.
As a retired member of the USAF band, I want to know who was the composer and who was the lyricist. This has a march style in the same vein as any college fight song. It is in the key of concert F, and the chord changes are from the coast guard song. In my 23 years as USAF Saxophonist, I have played so many military service songs!!!
This sounds like a song that would play on the shelter radio when you awaken at the start of a Fallout game.
Totally, straight from fallout
Fr tho it really does
One Enclave, One America
This isn't a promo for Fallout V?
"War.... War never changes"
-Ron Pearlman, in every game
I appreciate how this space age song for the space force sounds like it was written in 1883.
I kinda like it. It's like keeping tradition.
I'd have said the Forties, myself.
@@Wolfrover This is not 40's music lmao. It's straight late 1800's.
I noted it's missing a bouncing ball hopping from word to word!
@@yume5338 Keeping the tradition of everything trump does being awful, I guess
Sounds like a Sci-fi opening theme. “Would you like to know more?”
OH NO

@@Hunter_Heart *squashes bug* me too!
Lol. Sign up now for citizenship.

When I hear this, I think: Yes, they should make another Police Academy movie.
I never would have considered that had someone else not mentioned it. Now I can't not hear it. Thanks for that. 😆
They did make a Space Force show but it's nowhere near as funny as Police Academy
Mel Brooks would be proud to call this his own.

I can imagine this playing on the Federal Network in Starship Troopers.
This will get abused lol

That reminds me I haven’t watched Starship Troopers in a long time.

It cones on an LP in a velour dust jacket

😆 Please congratulate your wife on a well-turned phrase. Piccolo are the usual go-to for altitude themes, though, so it was inevitable.
Am I the only one who feels like these guys got their inspiration after binge watching Captain America?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they experienced no inspiration at all.

The Marines might be patrolling the streets of heaven, but sure enough the Space Force is doing the overwatch and air support.
here they come to save the daaaaaaaaay
Mighty Mouse would approve!
You guys are lucky. We had to memorize 4 times as much for our military song in boot camp.
And yet they're not lucky because this is the song they have to memorize 😬
Dw we gotta memorize the af song too
Oof, that’s definitely going to need a revision or two
This feels like a parody song
-WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE-

There's no way. This has to be a spoof, right?
I'm afraid it is not an out of season April fool's joke
@@sillerbarly4927 It's like it was written in 1913 by a cartoon.

The problem though is that current-year jinglesmiths can't make a military tune without sounding like a cheap knockoff of the Captain America song.
It's because all the branches have similar songs. They're all marches, of roughly the same length, at about 120bpm, one octave singing range so any grunt can sing it even if it's out of tune.
Still sucks.
They shoulda waited or just adopted the other one.
@@KoishiVibin The one about fighting aliens, with the wierd octave change? Yeah, great plan!
@@stainlesssteelfox1 I mean yeah
we could wipe the floor with martians tbh
the space force theme got the same energy as:
"To save our Mother Earth from any Alien attack!
From vicious Giant Insects who have once again come back!
We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack!
THE E.D.F. DEPLOYS!!"
All I can see is the Winnebago flying through space.
I can’t POSSIBLY be the only one who thinks this wouldn’t sound out of place in a Mel Brooks movie.
Jews in Spaaaaace....
Can,t wait for this movie to come out
I’m driving around bumping this on repeat.
Is this an out of season April fool's joke
It should have been: "Ground Control To Major Tom", or:
(the theme song of "The Jetson's.")
TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK
FROM VISCIOUS GIANT INSECTS WHO HAVE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK
WE'LL UNLEASH ALL OUR FORCES WE WON'T CUT THEM ANY SLACK

@@potatohead1423 Nope. Pride marches are more fun.
America don't know what they are doing
"Warfighters"
Who tf y'all fighting? Aliens?
When I think of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force anthems, I feel like the Space Force song needs a little more work to get to their level of majesty.
Just wait until you here the SECOND verse!! It's all about how diversity is strength, ignorance is wisdom, and submission is fweedom.
@@potatohead1423 I missed the second verse. It sounds like something the Ministry of Truth would have penned in "1984".
Even the Coast Guard is laughing.
The branch itself is still new, it still doesn't have the prestige or the legacy as the other 5 branches already have but they'll get there eventually
"a little more work" , masterful understatement haha
I feel like it should have been in that Space Force show on Netflix.

When it comes to computer-generated anthems, artificial intelligence is getting very close to sounding realistic!

Not close enough, I'd say
I was thinking that this entire product sounded more than a tad unnatural. That would make sense to me

There is still hope. czcams.com/video/iHzd35ElwuU/video.html
Is that suppose to be a bad thing
Psyops
I disagree with your comparison; Sousa wrote great music. This song is just bad and not because it is anywhere close to Sousa.
Nice to meet you, disappoint.
pretty nice how this song for the space force sounds like it gives napoleonic war battlefield vibes
Is it just me, or does this sound similar to “Jews in Space” from “History of the World Part 1?”

Hopefully, the taxpayer won’t be charged more than $300-$400 million for creating this awesome song.
