I liked the Top
100 Songs of American Patriotism since it included tunes from multiple
genres, besides traditional marches and anthems, there are country and rock
options. You will have to scroll down
past ads and links to other posts before the song list starts, but it is worth
a look. The songs are listed starting with
#100 and going to #1, which is the national anthem. Within
the song description you may find some historical information and occasional
rants about political correctness – I’m ok with it since I sometimes get into rants
too. Some of the songs listed reference 9/11
as their inspiration.
If you like the songs and want to
check out some American history as well see this short
list of books and websites. If you
agree that America needs to continue using songs that mention our Christian
heritage and keep “In God We Trust” in the hearts of citizens, you may want to check
out how the USA
has its foundation in the Bible.
Since I know some people do not know
the words to many of the United States older songs or choose not to sing them
since they often mention God, I also include Patriotic Song Lyrics from
the USA Flag Site here, so you may print any that you wish to sing during your Independence
Day celebrations.
If you want to hear any of the 100 songs
mentioned above, the blogger does include links to some videos on YouTube. If a link is not included, you may want to do
your own search on YouTube or Amazon to listen.
To do so, use the song title and artist from the blogger’s list. Below is one if the many videos on YouTube
with American Patriotic Songs and Marches (this 1 is over 35 minutes). If you want to play traditional music at your
celebration, then consider this one or look at the many longer versions that
you can run on a loop during your picnic or party. Check this older July
4th post for a slide show to use or search for your own on
YouTube.
