Teachenor then collaborated with chief musician Sean Nelson, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscg.mil\/community\/band\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">U.S. Coast Guard Band<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><span xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"> trombonist and staff arranger.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;I received the melody and words from James, and he wanted me to help add the harmony and to orchestrate it,&#8221; Nelson<\/span> said. &#8220;At first, it started with singing and the piano. I became familiar with the other branches&#8217; songs, but I wanted this one to have its own modern spin to reflect what the Space Force is &#8211; modern, new and very advanced.&#8221;\r\n\r\n<span xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Once Nelson added more than 30 instrument parts, the song&#8217;s arrangement was played and recorded by the USCG band, then submitted to the Space Force for review. After many months of development, revisions and variations in coordination with the USCG band, the Space Force picked the final version of &#8220;Semper Supra,&#8221; to capture what it means to be a Guardian.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe army, marines and navy are needed here on earth.\u00a0 The air force stretched its mighty hand to Space Force soon gave birth. \u00a0 Aerospace and science, technology and more; the brightest, strongest, fastest work above the global shores.\r\n\r\nThe future world requires we dedicate our lives, our purpose on this planet is up there in the skies.\u00a0 What will be done, now can&#8217;t be done, we&#8217;ll shape the future with our mind.\u00a0 Our minds will overcome all things to benefit mankind\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The official U.S. Space Force song &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MZHpPeacOuk\">LISTEN HERE<\/a><\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>We&#8217;re the mighty watchful eye,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Guardians beyond the blue,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The invisible front line,\u00a0\u00a0 Warfighters brave and true.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boldly reaching into space,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There&#8217;s no limit to our sky.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Standing guard both night and day,\u00a0\u00a0 We&#8217;re the Space Force from on high<\/em><\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69ea4b5b050b86074008619' value='69ea4b5b050b86074008619'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69ea4b5b050b86074008619' value='MERCHANT MARINES PV WORDS'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69ea4b5b050b86074008619' value='Show Less'><button id='bg-showmore-action-69ea4b5b050b86074008619' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-orange-button  '   style=\" color:#4a4949;\">MERCHANT MARINES PV WORDS<\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69ea4b5b050b86074008619' >U.S. MERCHANT MARINE 1943 |\r\nGIVE US THE OIL, GIVE US THE GAS,\r\nGIVE US THE SHELLS, GIVE US THE GUNS.\r\nWE\u2019LL BE THE ONES TO SEE THEM THROUGH.\r\nGIVE US THE TANKS, GIVE US THE PLANES,\r\nGIVE US THE PARTS, GIVE US THE SHIP.\r\nGIVE US A HIP HOO-RAY!\r\nAND WE\u2019LL BE ON OUR WAY.\r\nHEAVE HO!
