Pete Droge and U2 also have songs called “4th of July,” for whatever that’s worth.
the reviews were accurate. Although i am sick of them releasing mostly EP/singles, i gotta tell ya, this shoulda been a EP/single. It has three good songs on it (and they are very good) but the rest i could do without. Slow and somewhat depressed/ing.
December by Teenage Fanclub is a lovely little song.
Completely off topic, but did anyone notice that the group ‘I Am The World Trade Center’ had a song on this CD called ‘September’, that just happened to be track 11?
Folk singer and writer Tom Paxton wrote “Born on the 4th of July” based on Ron Kovic’s book (the Tom Cruise movie came later). It’s on his “New Songs from the Briarpatch” album, and it’s a great song on a great album.
“I’m your old tried-and-true, Yankee Doodly to you, clean cut, paralyzed and heroic. I was born on the 4th of July, no one more loyal than I. When my country said so, I was ready to go, and I wish I’d been left there to die.”
1000 Julys, by Third Eye Blind
Forever December, by Matchbox Twenty (though I think they were Tabitha’s Secret back then).
5 Marz (March 5th) by Megaherz.
And RZA, I thought of that, but I didn’t want to mention it.
