Happy 3rd of July!

I have to admit, I am not a fan of the 4th of July, or Independence Day. Let's face it, the true meaning of Independence Day is lost, which is why it always goes by the name of the 4th of July. Do people even realize that what we're suppose to be celebrating is the birth of our country and our country's freedom and rights and the signing of The Declaration of Independence? Probably not. Independence Day has turned into a commercialized holiday that is about nothing more than parades, parties, fireworks, and seeing who can drink the most.

Which is why I prefer the 3rd of July. The 3rd of July isn't really a holiday. It's a day I use to celebrate an amazing song written by an amazing band called Pensive. This is the first song I remember hearing from this band and every year I make a point to listen to it on the 3rd of July and it still never ceases to amaze me.

With all that being said, Happy 3rd of July! Take a listen to Pensive's "3rd of July" by watching the video below.
