Music for Independence Day
Independence Day, the 4th of July, is the epitome of what it means to be an American. It's a time to reflect on your roots and be proud of the place you call home.
Sadly, the world is divided, America is Divided, so it's crucial to capture the true meaning of Independence Day. While it's a celebration of independence, it's also a celebration of unity with your fellow Americans, and nothing unites people quite like music.
Patriotism isn't saying I stand with a select few; it's saying I stand with my nation, one and all. The best music for Independence Day should evoke a feeling of overwhelming pride, and we can look at a few ways to do that.
In a Sentimental Mood
When you think of independence, you think about strength, the strength, and courage to embrace your identity without fear. Quite often, it takes times of genuine sacrifice and hardship to bring true strength to the surface.
When choosing music for independence day, don't underestimate the power of music that makes the listener reflect on those hard times. In this scenario, the music should leave a lasting feeling of pride in overcoming, rather than sadness.
Theoretically, in music, we think of major as happy and minor as sad, which is true in the most basic sense. Of course, there are a million subtle variations between happy and sad. Our suggestion would be to avoid minor keys, let your video/images deal with any obviously sad content, and your music can counter that with hope/optimism.
The Lydian mode or the movie scale, as it's sometimes known, is perfect here because it's so uplifting. It might be the most versatile scale/mode for any kind of movie, from superheroes to war epics. Check out the Lydian mode and tracks with Lydian chord patterns if you have content that deals with sad or difficult content. It will drive home that feeling of pride.
Against all Odds
The more obvious way to fire people up with pride and patriotism is to be upbeat. Now, if you just want people to get fired up, any upbeat music will do. However, upbeat music for Independence Day should have a stronger connection to the subject matter. In musical terms, what embodies the American dream more than rocking out with an electric guitar?
Guitar driven rock music will work incredibly well for this because it's such a huge part of American popular culture. Content-wise, rock music has the cultural connection, momentum, and defiant nature to champion your message. We say defiant nature because when you look at the history of rock music and the genres that inspired it, they were built by people who made it against all the odds.
Nothing sums up Independence Day more than music that says we are here and still standing tall, so don't be scared to rock out!
Whether you are aiming for deep reflection or fired up audiences, if you connect the music to your content, it will connect with your audience.
