When we hear this song thoughts of God, patriotism, and American
ideals run through our mind, but is that what the video is depicting?
Unfortunately no... What the video actually depicts is an American family losing their
home, but in spite of it they are clinging to the ideals of America. Those
ideals being freedom - hope - family - and founding principles, all the while
having to deal with the fact that their farm is up for public auction. (view title image above)
Does the video suggest a problem? I think it does - a problem
with American priorities - and what's truly important.
Through symbolism we see a woman wearing a dress with a white bow over her
heart - is this the answer?
