The fourth of July is usually celebrated with picnics, family fun and good old fashioned fireworks. But a good way to get into the patriotic mood is to put on some tunes that remind us of how lucky we are to live in the U.S. of A. There have been many artists and musicians that have recorded their own personal homage to Uncle Sam and the wonderful country we live in, and there are plenty to choose from when thinking of what would suit your July 4th picnic the best. Well, look no further. Here's a list of some tunes you should check out before busting out the sparklers and chowing down on some burgers this Independence Day.
Martina McBride - "Independence Day"
This serious song deals with domestic abuse, using Independence Day as a symbol of strength in rising above it. Martina sings from the viewpoint of a young girl whose father physically assaults her in a small town where the population is aware of the injuries that she has sustained, but they turn their heads instead of helping her out. Taking a torch to her home on Independence Day as a sign of fortitude and revolution, McBride shows just how strong Americans can be in the face of oppression, making liberty seem that much sweeter on our country's special day.
