Have you ever heard the Connie Francis song "God Save America"? It's about a second American Civil War, and the lyrics feel very timely.

It was recorded in 1970, but the recording was lost and never released. Decades later, a copy of the original tape recording was found. Music and sound effects were recorded for it, and it was finally released in 2019. It crackles in places because of damage to the surviving tape, but is a fascinating song.

Here's the song:
