Stop Everything: Watch Carlos Santana's gorgeous rendition of the national anthem

You HAVE to hear Santana's Game 4 national anthem

When you think of famous renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" you're usually thinking of Whitney Houston's incredible performance before Super Bowl XXV... or the litany of folks who've had trouble with America's song on a big stage.

On Saturday evening before World Series Game 4 at AT&T Park, Bay Area native and Grammy Award-winning musician Carlos Santana and his son Salvador (also a Grammy winner) delivered one of the most beautiful versions of the song that you'll ever hear.

It starts off subtle, but diligently meanders through the familiar notes to a finish that absolutely shreds.

Do yourself a favor and dedicate the next three minutes of your life to basking in its beauty. Even if you saw it live or already caught the clip -- it's worth watching again. It's just that good.
