What is Your Favorite Song of Independence?
July 4th 2007 21:59
Today is July 4th...Independence Day.
It got me to thinking about songs whoses subject matter deals with thems of independence not just patriotism. I looked at Merriam Webster's Definition of "independent". Then I started thinking about songs that relate to the word's definition. I broke them down into subcategories:
Actual Independence Day songs
"4th Of July, Asbury Park" Bruce Springsteen
"Song Of The Patriot" Johnny Cash
Not affiliated with a larger controlling unit
"F the CC" Steve Earle
"For What it's Worth" Buffalo Springfield
Not looking to others for one's opinions
"My Back Pages" Bob Dylan
"Minority" Green Day
Not requiring or relying on others
"It's My Life" Bon Jovi
"Burn" by Jo Dee Messina
Being enough to free one from the necessity of working for a living
"Money for Nothing" Dire Straits
"Take This Job and Shove It" Johnny Paycheck
Showing a desire for freedom
"Judge Not" Bob Marley and the Wailers
"Independence Day" Martina McBride
One of my favorite diva songs of Independence is "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross
