Nkosi Sikelel' Iafrika

This is not only the greatest National Anthem, it is one of the greatest musical tributes to and of mankind anywhere. It is the entirety of the human experience set into one song: the struggle, heartbreak, tragedy, and majesty of the human condition. And this rendition lords over all others, it is the absolute epitome of that which already excelled. This song puts one through every meaningful human emotion, as if your life along with millions worldwide are borne and lived in unison, both exhausted and exhilarated in the end. One cannot bear to hear it without tears automatically welling up in your eyes...
