To the People of LOM Forum:
In my quest to have as many "neat" things that macronations have, I have stumbled upon the need/want for a national anthem. I have listened to a few national anthems, but I still cannot think of what makes a good one. Can you people help me, like give some tips, on what makes a good anthem. Or link me to a LYRIC-LESS macronational anthem. Thank you.
His Imperial Majesty, King Christian I of North Hill.

A national anthem needs to be short (ideally no more than 2-3 minutes long), possess a strong musical narrative (ie a clearly defined beginning, middle and end), with a punchy theme/refrain that people can easily remember.

Also, I should have mentioned that your anthem needs to "speak" about your micronation to the listener; a micronation based around peace, love and hippy hand-holding would probably not be well served by a strident 19th century military march... likewise, a micronation created by an eccentric artist might readily declare its anthem to be "a minute of silence" (Nutopia), or "the sound of a rock being dropped into water" (Ladonia).
At the risk of being accused of rampant self-promotion, here's one we prepared earlier:

George, we ALWAYS accuse you of rampant self-promotion. One of my attempts at an anthem was to download several macro anthems and play them backwards. When I did that, Libya's touted peace, Egypt's declared their love for Israel, and Great Britain's seemed to say something like "Die, capitalist pig". Or find one you like and change the key, tempo, timing (7/4 is always fun) or simply lyrics. In fact, changing lyrics is pretty common. The Alphabet song borrows from Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Rumor has it that the theologian Luther used the tune of at least one bar song and added his redemptive lyrics to it. A fascinating article regarding Luther and how he borrowed and changed musical tunes is at michaelprewitt.com/2009/07/did-martin-luther-use-drinking-songs-1144/. "My Country 'Tis of Thee" was a former de facto US anthem with the same tune as the British national anthem. The "Star Spangled Banner" uses the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven". That said, Dagostinia has been around for two years and we still don't have an anthem. These things don't happen overnight. The Star Spangled Banner was written in 1814, but didn't become the anthem de jure until 1916. So don't worry if it takes you 100 years to come up with something that sticks. The closest we've come so far is taking the hymn "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" and replacing those words with "Dagostinia, Dagostinia..." I suppose at some point I might explore some more lyrics for this tune, leave it at one verse, and call it good. I used to write music and lyrics and could probably conjure up that old muse if I had to. By the way King Christian, thanks for putting up with us. Your questions have infused a surge of life around here.

I own an album which features Gregorian Chant versions of such songs as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "If You think I'm Sexy".

Happy to unknowingly help revive a forum. Also, what might be the best way to edit a song (not backwards, and I mean tune and not lyrics.) I do NOT want my anthem to say "Die, capitalist pig!"

King Christian, Well, it’s been a long time, but --- Right after creating TorHavn, sitting with my family and Royal Ministers one evening, I caught the strains of something majestic & proud, which I likened to a royal anthem, and I inquired to my wife the title and words. It turned out that it was an originally-created fan fictional song created by a filk artist & author named Cecilia Eng and I decided that – with a little help – it would be perfect. The Grandmistress of the Cerulean Rose, Dame Lucy Skywalker (yes! This was her birth name; she was Amerindian) and myself reworked the words, and left the melody completely alone. The resulting “masterpiece” can be found at: www.torhavn.net/anthem.htmlI then, as is my wont, contacted Ms. Eng to ask for permission to borrow from her muse. She gave permission (the email I kept), so long as we didn’t play the song on our site (She’s a professional, published artist, and would not have liked it if we stole her proceeds this way). We agreed to all she stipulated, and the song still stands, on our old site, a tribute to the excellence of the late Dame Skywalker, who spoke three languages, wrote poetry, music & lyrics, and who was also an accomplished animater and artist of pencil, pastels & oils. As you can tell, we still miss her gentle hand and presence keenly. You do not, of course, need to do any or all of this; I simply wanted to show you an example of what George had expressed: the song should “speak” of your national principles and ways ---- and it’s all right if it takes time to accomplish this. Considering what you’ve managed in so short a time, I have faith in you.

That was a joke son, now pay, I say, pay attention. I downloaded a program a while back called Audacity. It's a free program that allows you to do a lot of manipulation to a music file. Once you compose it, it would be stellar if someone in your micronation could actually play it. Happy to unknowingly help revive a forum. Not that it was dead... just a little lull. You came at a good time.

Very pop tune-y. It sounds backwards and I think I heard somebody say, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America..."

Here is a lyric-less micronational anthem, Kosovo's one. Well, it isn't a macronation per se, but it has a lyric-less anthem still.

Very much like a good drinking song... And now we've come full circle back to Luther (Martin, not Vandross). Like I mentioned before, just steal a classic tune. Make sure it's in the public domain. Like "Happy Birthday". (Oh wait, that one's copyrighted www.snopes.com/music/songs/birthday.asp).

Behold, gentlemen! John Cage's 4'33, the ultimate low-budget micronational anthem AND a minimalist's dream. To play, you need: - a stopwatch,
- that's pretty much it.

Florida Georgia Line is my favourite country music band. Headliners Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are those people that could make anyone sing along with them. It's the reason I like to visit their shows. And - that's surprisingly wonderful - in 2019 they have CAN'T SAY IT AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR which covers all the US towns and cities.
