HONG KONG, November 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Since its November 1 debut, Ode to the Marine Corps continues to gain ground as a six-song album by QUARLESS that transforms the spirit of the United States Marine Corps into a powerful musical tribute. This project is more than music—it’s a mission to inspire, unite, and honor Marines past, present, and future.

The Ode to the Marine Corps Oath
Just as first to fight, do or die, and oorah bind us as one,
So shall Ode to the Marine Corps live in the heart of every Marine.
Every Marine shall know these words.
So help me God.

Two hundred fifty years,
Two hundred fifty more,
I love the Marine Corps.
Ode to the Marine Corps.
Semper Fi, do or die,
Always and forever.

What Is Ode to the Marine Corps?
Ode to the Marine Corps is a groundbreaking musical project that blends traditional Marine Corps running cadences with hypnotic percussion, rhythmic bass, and a reimagined bugle rendition of the iconic “Marine’s Hymn.” Designed for marching bands, fitness enthusiasts, and patriotic audiences, this album delivers energy and esprit de corps in every beat.

The album includes versions tailored for different experiences:
- Radio Version: A concise, high-energy track for Marines, families, and patriots everywhere.
- Extended Version: A 5:30-minute creative journey through Jim Quarless’ personal story, from childhood inspiration to his service in Iraq and beyond.
- Instrumental Version: Perfect for runners and fitness fans, with a melodic flow ideal for a 1-kilometer or half-mile run.
- Karaoke Version: Ready for those who want to take the mic and lead the charge at a local bar or a spirited gathering with friends.

Why It Matters
This project’s purpose is to maximize morale and unity among our Marine brothers and sisters—those currently serving, veterans, family members, and the greater community. By fostering esprit de corps, it also helps minimize the risk of tragedies that affect service members and their families. Ode to the Marine Corps is more than music; it’s a cultural symbol of honor and perseverance, amplifying the strength and pride of the United States Marine Corps worldwide.
