For the 4th of July, 2020: Songs to Play Today

By

Dreams will not be thwarted
Faith will be rewarded…

From Springsteen’s “Land of Hope & Dreams,” a perfect song for today, 4th of July, 2020, in America. He’s got other songs which fit this day, of course. But this one is so powerfully inspirational, and continues to deliver a message of hope, even now.

But it rocks, too. It’s the first song of our big
playlist of songs for Independence Day, 2020.

Happy 4th of July.
