Key was inspired by the large Flag of the United States, U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner (flag), Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort after the battle.

I have cassettes of the rough mix of the record and it was a really good record but he made it all muddy and murky."
