I like to record songs in my spare time. Okay, I really
don’t have any spare time. What I do is make time to record because I like to
sing. Recently, in light of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday (Independence
Day for those of you who think the Fourth of July isn’t a holiday), I recorded
a few patriotic songs. I did several of them, America The Beautiful, Battle
Hymn of The Republic, This Land Is Your Land, and others.
Singing songs about America made me realize again how lucky,
or blessed, I am to be an American, living in this great country. Most
patriotic songs are full of meaning and even more so when you sing them over
and over and them work on the production of the recording. You start to
actually pay attention to the words a little more than normal.
One song that I felt had the most meaning was God Bless
America. Although for a patriotic song it is very short, it still holds a lot
of truth. These days it’s not exactly popular to mention God but, well, I don’t
care. Actually no, I do care, which is why I made a video of the song and
posted it to YouTube. I’ve also included it below in this post but if it doesn’t
play, you can see it here.
And now, I shall return to recording. Maybe a few Christmas
songs. I know, it’s kind of the wrong time of year for that but ever heard of
Christmas in July? I’ll let you know how it goes in December or so.
Happy Fourth!
