R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. or This Is America: What's Your Theme Song for The 4th?
Join us and make your voice heard!
Need a soundtrack for your July 4th BBQ? Causes has you covered like the sunscreen you should be wearing.
In honor of Independence Day, we're compiling a playlist to answer the question:
"Which song best symbolizes America?"
Need some ideas?
Past playlists have seen classics by Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Marvin Gaye, and Bob Dylan. They're usually joined by more contemporary compositions: Childish Gambino's "This is America," Imagine Dragon's "America," and Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence."
We also get a deluge of critical suggestions: The Taxpayer's "F*** America," Metallica's "Fade To Black," and Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction."
Hope, however, is always represented with inspiring ballads like Simon & Garfunkel’s “America,” The Black Eyed Peas’ “Where Is The Love?”, and Chicago’s “Saturday In The Park."
So what's your Fourth of July Jam?
Patriotic to pessimistic, let us know in the comments below. We'll release the🗽Causes Playlist for America 2022 on Monday.

As always, we rocked out Neil Diamond's "Coming to America"!
America the Beautiful
We need to be reminded what special place this country is. This USA still is,inspite of the history ,
challenges. We are capable of greater things.
Republicans Lis Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are true Patriots of the democratic republic. They took an oath to uphold and protect the constitution of the United States and not a party or a person. The January 6 committee is not a witch hunt, unless Trump and his followers are witches and truly evil?
After January 6 insurrection the Trump supporters are now realizing they would follow the devil to there grave.
All music mention represents American values, a democratic republic and a beaming light for the rest of the world!
Irreplaceable by Beyoncé
Just for you GOP!!!
Girl on Fire-Alicia Keys
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Together we stand divided we fall
Eve of Destruction
more so each time they ask this question
This is American by Childish Gambino and Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen which is not a happy song.
Also because it is big barbecue time Before I let Go, both versions by Frankie Beverly & Maze and the remake by Beyonce.
Cannot forget about Living in America by the Godfather if Soul, James Brown.
American Women by (verison) Lenny Kravitz.
My choice for a theme song for this 4th of July is Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On"
It's complicated, but I still have hope.

Add to the Mix:
"The West Side Story" is like a microcosm of today's America the but members of the Jets and Sharks have changed. Now I identify with the Sharks. 😉 Whatever…

I'd add Chicago's "Dialog" from their 5th album. We need to start talking to each other and getting people engaged if we're ever going to strenghten our country.
Given the destruction of our country by the Republicans and the Supreme Court, I don't think there is much freedom to celebrate this year.
Nothing to rock about when scotus is the self proclaimed expert on womens health, climate change, gun control, religion and practically everything else. Yes 6 idiots know it all!
the world is laughing
As a cautionary note, i support Colbert's rendition of Mike Flynn's singing of the National Anthem under oath.
Would like to dedicate this song to this nation on the Fourth of July.
