Some fireworks (at this link) and other celebrations of the 4th. Happy Independence Day!
Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July night
B. Springsteen, "Fourth of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)"
Oh the smell of the smoke as we lay on the land
and the feeling of finding my heart in my hand
with the tiny tin voice of the radio band
singing "love must stand"
love forever and ever must stand
All on the Fourth of July
On the Fourth of July
James Taylor, "On the Fourth of July"
We drove the car to the top of the parking ramp
on the 4th of july
We sat out on the hood with a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks
explode in the sky
Ani Difranco, "Independence Day"
I saw you out
A perfect place
It's gonna happen soon
But not today
So go to sleep
Amid the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow
Independence day
Independence day
Elliott Smith,, "Independence Day"
I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my Independence Day
My Independence Day
Melanie C, "Independence Day" (From "Bend it Like Beckham")
It was twilight
On the fourth of july
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby
Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
On that fourth of july
Mariah Carey, "Fourth of July" (With apologies to Hank Zona for the Mariah reference)
Now I'm in control
Now I'm in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember
Your sweet everything
Light a Roman candle
And hold it in your hand
Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
Soundgarden "4TH of July"
Well she hated the 4th of July
Bombs bursting in air, and she'd never know why
She'd keep me up all night, too terrified to cry
Oh yes, she hated 4th of July
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because I am wide awake
I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, I'm gonna hold you till the early light
John Popper (Blues Traveler), "4th of July"
Once in a while
In a big blue moon
There comes a night like this
Like some surrealist
Invented this 4th of July
Joni Mitchell, "Night Ride Home"
Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
Willie Nelson, "Mendocino County Line"

Another great 4th of July song is, "4th of July" by Dave Alvin (Blasters, X, Solo).
Hey Baby, it's the 4th of July
Whatever happened I apologize
So dry your tears and take a walk outside
It's the 4th of July
Stay tuned-Soon to be covered by the Jaybirds |
