This is what makes people relate to the lyrics even more and put their compassion for each other’s struggle into the passion of singing along.įurther back in time, we find older sayings about independence and the meaning of being an American that stand strong to this day. These songs, as beloved today as 30 years ago, reflect the hardships of American life that stand behind its glory. Our musical heritage is rich in songs so American to the core that on every 4th of July, it is a must for everyone to sing together to the rave-like “Living in America” of James Brown, or shout out Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”. After all, there’s an American flag on the moon”, sings Brandon Paisley in “American Flag on the Moon”. Go on, believe impossible things whenever anybody says there's anything we can't do. The inspiration and empowerment that the flag brings are almost palpable in songs. The Independence Day, the most red-white-blue day of the year, is also an anniversary of the star spangled banner, for the modern version of the flag was adopted exactly on the Independence Day, 58 years ago. “Standing as I do, with my hand upon this staff, and under the folds of the American flag, I ask you to stand by me so long as I stand by it”, proclaimed he. A live human symbol of this Independence, Abraham Lincoln, was an adamant fighter for liberty in America. It goes without saying that the flag is the most potent token of the American Independence. Pauline Hanson said, “To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag”. “United we stand, divided we fall” is not an American saying, but it truly reflects the sole conditions under which American Independence was born and keeps living today: its fortitude blooms when we come together in the spirit of oneness, and it is inconceivable when we feel separated from each other.
