Copies and usage by others

The song is fairly popular in Myanmar by the name of "A Thet Htet Myat Tae Gone" (An honor which is worth more than life)as Myanmar military copied the song's melody with changed lyric for the propaganda movie "Victory of The Braves" (Ye Yint Thu Tot Aung Naing Pwe) at 1995. A film set about the battles at Karen state in 90s like Battle of Manerplaw and Battle of Kawmoora. The song was used as the outro of the movie. The lyrics were written by Mya Than San and Chit Kaung performed the song for the 1995 movie outro. The 1995 version use the exact same melody as the Billy Dean's original composition. [3] Also, by the early 2000s, Myanmar military launched another propaganda film named "A Thet Htet Myat Tae Gone" (the same name as the song) featuring the song as well but this time as intro song rather than outro. But the 2000s version's melody is a bit more poplike with drum beats and woodwinds [4] [5] Another version of the song is popular on Myawaddy, military owned propaganda channel, as well, featuring a slight deviation from the 2000s movie version [6] A latest recorded use of Myanmar military propaganda films using the song was at 2017 as outro of the movie "Sky of the Forgotten Night" (A Nya Ta Ya Moe Kaung Kin). The movie was set around 2015 Kokhang Offensive and the song was used from the end of the final battle toward the end-credit. Piano instrumental variation was used during the movie's emotional moments as well. The end credit is a variation from the 2000s variation, using strings as the song's intro. [7]
