National Anthems

Dan D is not fully correct. At least since 1991, only and exclusively the third verse is the official German national anthem, the other two verses are no longer officially recognised as part of the anthem.

By text, many anthems seem to be violent and war-happy. By musical sound, I may like anthems that I do not like by text. The Russian one sounds great, the British as well, by text I indeed like the German very much - it is not so martial like so many others. But the music sends you to bed.
