4th of July - Laurena

I got a real banjo.
I wasn't sad; just concerned it was going to rain.

I'll be waiting dear
For the 4th of July
Though in Canada that day is a
lie
Down by the border and watch the stars
Disappear in the exhaust from the waiting cars
And the fire works are illegal here
So we buy them from the people who buy our beer
And Cigarettes that I don't really want
That 13 year old walk around and flaunt
We could go to the lake and drown our sorrows
Burn all our hopes for better tomorrows
Coming from me it sounds kind of funny
I've got everything
Love, freedom (merica) and money
I'll be waiting dear
till the 4th o July
When the distance decreases between you and I
When the sky's ablaze
With our burning hearts
And we close our eyes
And we fall apart

    That song is heart wrenching! Everything you touch becomes melancholy beauty. It's the dark kind of beauty that sticks with you, that awakens you in the night with its terror but makes you oh so much happier to be alive. There aren't many words to this song, but I feel like I know these characters and their story and I love them all the same. :)

    I've always loved this song. It perfectly captures the sort of surreal dreamlike quality of the 4th of July. With everyone off for the holiday and shooting off fireworks with the smoke making the world look hazy. When it's in the middle of a school break and the novelty of having nothing to do all day has worn off and you're secretly starting to look forward to school and routine to start again. When youre young time kindve stops in the summer and you just sortve float through it. ❤️❤️❤️

    Laurena, your songs and vids are without any doubt the most unique and beautiful at youtube, planet earth and probably our galaxy (The vids from Zeta Reticuli are also worth seeing).

    This is probably my favorite song. As years go by I come back and listen to it and it always sounds so good to me.
