You'll find traditional music that has been given a modern upgrade - Whitney Houston's rendition of The Star Spangled Banner for example, which will move you to tears. So, fill up your Amazon or Spotify account with these best 4th of July songs that touch upon all those themes and more. You need to find songs that are filled with patriotic lyrics, references to American living and are about the joy of summer. But your regular playlist won't cut it for all those Independence Day festivities. Barbecues, beach parties and bonfires all call for some feel-good tunes.
There's probably not one day during your 4th of July weekend that you won't be listening to music.
