Which song do you think is worthy of replacing our second national anthem?
"Canadian Gold"
or
"Sticks To The Ice"
Okay, these are the two selections I picked out of the five on offer. They're both very good pieces. Hard to believe that second one was written by a 13-year-old kid; it has a nifty, very unusual chord progression that nevertheless works very well.
My only issue with "Sticks To The Ice" is that it's more fanfare than anthem. There's a great beat to it, that aforementioned chord progression...but the melody's lacking somehow.
"Canadian Gold" has melody to burn, and the arrangement's phenomenal. The bagpipes add a nice touch, as do the strings. It sounds almost sacrilegious, but I think I like this anthem at least as much as the old one. It gets my vote.
What do you think?

2nd National Anthem?
Does the US have a second or is this a Canadian thing?
Oh, I get it now. I should have watched them first.
I prefer the second one.
