Fourth Of July Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The evil, it spread like a fever ahead
It was night when you died, my firefly
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
Oh, could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
[Chorus 1]
"Well, you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We’re all gonna die"
[Verse 2]
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
Was it all a disguise, like junior high?
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
Now, where am I? My fading supply
[Chorus 2]
"Did you get enough love, my little dove?
Why do you cry?
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
Though it never felt right
My little Versailles"
[Verse 3]
The hospital asked, "Should the body be cast?"
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
[Chorus 3]
"Shall we look at the moon, my little loon?
Why do you cry?
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
While it is light
Well, you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We’re all gonna die"
[Outro]
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die

Last night, while cradling my daughter to sleep, this song played. I couldn't help but cry because my fiance passed away this month and I remember him singing this song to her the day before he passed. Fourth of July is my daughter's birthday and her name is Dove. No wonder when he started singing this song to her, i fet a ring and connection to it.

I miss her everyday and when I was young I considered joining her. Now I'm nearly 20 with a wonderful boyfriend and I'm living a much happier life. My house recently burned down but me and my family are going to get through this. I wont let anything make me hurt myself like I did before. Recovery IS possible.

It's just so... it makes you feel _ineffable._ So many emotions at once, so little time to feel them, because we all end up dead. The matter of time and place are arbitrary. I am going to lose people, and I too will be lost. I can't comprehend how we're just meant to cope with that.

Last year my mum beat cancer! A few years ago my nan also beat cancer but then two years ago it came back. She never showed how bad it was, she didnt want her freinds and family to know her pain. Last july she passed and it was a huge shock to everyone and i didnt know how to cope especially only being 12 at the time. The last time i saw her was the kings coronation and sometimes all i think about is the regret of all of the times i could have been with her and not being there. Loosing her broke something inside of me, the first loss i had been through, but the memories are repairing it. This song reminds me that you dont have forever with anyone so cherish the time you are with them. I am always extremely proud of both my mum and nan they are the strongest women i know and i will always love them forever. i just wanted to share this story as loosing someone is one of the most soul destroying things and reading everyone elses comments reminds me that i am not alone. Now i look back at old memories makes me feel fo happy seing her smile as she is now on a place where she is not suffering and can look over me all the time to keep an eye on me, laugh at the silly things i fo and be with me in my heart when i need her. Love you to the moon and back forever nan Xx (im bawling my eyes out writing this lol)

Listening to this song reminds me of my dad. He died late in the night 2 months from my 18th birthday. He never saw me graduate. And if i am ever to marry he will never walk me down the aisle. He was the only one who believed in me. We had the same humor and enjoyed many of the same things. Everyone always said i was like a tiny female version of him. he always made people laugh and was a free spirit. I am too but i am much too shy to talk to people. I miss him so much these days. No one in my family wants to talk about him so it is just me left alone trying to remember him and continue his legacy.

She died that night. I didn’t understand death when I was little so I didn’t cry. I didn’t realize she was gone forever. Looking back on it I would’ve cried my eyes out. She never told us she had breast cancer and didn’t have long to live.I can’t even remember the sound of her voice anymore 😢

This song makes me sob so much, each sentence in its own way is special to me. My step-grandmother, is what you could call her, had epilepsy and died in the night. Whenever my father and stepmother fought, she would hold my ears and give me those old strawberry candies. “It was night when you died, my firefly.” Throughout my younger years, I would be hit or screamed at for speaking freely. In my early teens, my mother would simply block my number, refuse to talk to me, and would use other people to talk to me. “Will you do enough talk, my little hawk, why do you cry?” Sometimes it amazes me how horrible people can be..

I go and visit you on the cemetary every now and then talk to you, not sure if you hear can hear me. I hope you can hear me, when I have kids one day I'm gonna name my first born after you. I imagined as a kid that you would still be there when that happens, I still cant accept that you cant be there, I feel so angry all the time that you werent here for most of my life, it's not your fault of course, you tried to fight it. Hope I see you again some day.

My sweet grandma Stella ⭐️. She was my best friend. The most soft and sweetest soul. I had to watch her pass away in the hospital. She went quietly like a whisper. She suffered from lupus my entire life but she was a fighter. I had always looked up to her as a role model. Although her lupus was in remission, her heart decided to fail and God knew it was her time to go home. But holy crap, I miss her every day. She is my star in the sky. She had a halo on her head. I can hear this song every time I think back to that night at the hospital. It was like the hospital went silent. I sometimes imagine if there was something I could’ve done to save her for just a little bit longer. Just to see her for a couple more minutes. I remember hugging my cousin as tight as I could wishing it was a dream and that I would wake up and my grandma would be ok. We had just celebrated her birthday a month before she passed. It was a complete shock. I miss you Grandma Stella and I can’t wait to see you again. rip 3/5/22 🕊️

Listening to this song is so soothing and relaxing, but it also makes me break down. I had lost a best friend of 8 years. He passed away too early. He was only 14. Me and him were so close. I can't imagine what life would be like if he was still here. There are times where I can't handle things and just want to end everything, but then I remembered that he would want me to keep going. It's all just so hard. This song reminds me of him. He was the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

I listened to this too many times after my grandfather died, I can't remember when he died all I remembered is that it was in the night, when it said "It was night when you died, my firefly" made me cry so much, sometimes I see his soul/corpse (R.I.P Stephan Ifill)

Lyrics… The evil it spread like a fever ahead It was night when you died, my firefly What could I have said to raise you from the dead? Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July? Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We're all gonna die Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head Was it all a disguise, like Junior High Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction Now, where am I? My fading supply Did you get enough love, my little dove Why do you cry? And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best Though it never felt right My little Versailles The hospital asked should the body be cast Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth Do you find it all right, my dragonfly? Shall we look at the moon, my little loon Why do you cry? Make the most of your life, while it is rife While it is light Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die

This song reminds me the day that my aunt had fallen, her last words for her to me was similar to this song, ` My little clam, why do you cry..? ` It was too emotional for me to watch her fall out of her body like the last drop of rain.. I give this song a soothing drop of sadness, it helps me bring out the sadness, pain, & emotion. It's very sad that my aunt died so early and sudden.. why did she die? She was in a huge car accident and was unconscious since glass was stabbed into her chest when the vehicle bumped into the dump truck, according to the process of the hospitals words, she had a few more minutes to live.. it was shocking and sad news. When my mom saw the tear fall from my eye, she said that it's just the cycle of life.. it was just too much to hold back the tears of pain. I still feel her in my heart, she died on July 4, 2020. I couldn't bother to go back to her grave but this time I did and listened to this song and prayed to her infront of her gravestone, it's just still in my memory family.. pictures of us all together as a family.. my step-dad said.. ` Well, 44 people in our family left right..? ` it still compares me with her relationship.. her joyful laugh is still in my mind,, it's so sweet , sweeter than a candy..

I could never forgive myself cause i thought stuff would be different sense she got cancer. the last thing I said to her was just because you got cancer doesn't mean anything will change, we're best friends forever I promise. but forever is to long she passed away July 9th. rip faith. i hope you're in a better place.

For some reason this reminded me of a story that didn't happen to me, but to my grandfather and uncle. They were both textile salespeople who traveled across our region selling fabric to major companies. In 1989 they stopped talking to each other due to a business related argument. They went on a year without talking. In 1990 my grandfather died of a heart attack on his own bathroom. My uncle never got to talk to him again, never said "sorry", my grandfather never said lets fix things, and he left without saying goodbye. My uncle is now 72 and has lived his whole life putting up with the fact that he never said goodbye to his own father. Please, talk to your beloved ones, don't let heated up arguments push you away from the people you love, you never know when it's the last time you're gonna see them.

They allow me to vent and question the world… we respect eachother even though some of us are apart of the lgbtq. (im not) I’ve always wanted this.. they don’t save me, they suffer with me.

7/10/23, 2 days after my 22nd birthday, my "brother in-law" passed away from complications from drugs and alcohol. Mostly just the coke. He was found by his grandmother whom he was living with. She saw him in the same position the night before and knew something was wrong. His brain was deprived for too long. We had to let him go. I thought I had moved past the sad songs, but it's just cause they all repeat. I just gave this a listen for the first time and I'm a grown man balling his eyes out. Caleb left behind a handsome son Named Emmett. He will be 4 this September. He doesn't remember a whole lot about daddy, but he talks about him non stop. We had some paranormal stuff happen at my sister's apartment. Nothing bad or negative. We believe he watches us and I hope he does. Miss you Caleb Geyer 1998-2023 peace brother. I love you.

I tried telling my mom that there was something wrong with him because he kept twitching and he was always tired but she said it was normal. Now he’s been missing for a month and we tried everything and there’s no sign of him at all. If he can just PLEASE and I mean please turn up somehow I’ll be the happiest thing ever..

My papa died almost two years ago. He was a lovely man who loved his fishing and hunting. He was always there as a safety net or a shoulder to cry on for my mother. He is one of my only family members who actually cared about me and my siblings. My biggest regret i have in life was not saying 'I love you' loud and clear before leaving for school that day. He lost his battle to Stage 4 Lung Cancer on September 22nd 2022. He taught me many things and is someone i look up too. I love him very dearly. I know he fought his hardest, and i know that the morning he died, he knew it was going to be his last day, i just wish he told us so we could help him. This song reminds me of him because i know that this world lost an amazing person that day, an amazing father, papa, and even husband to people who didnt deserve him. I carry a part of him everywhere i go. I love and miss him.

Unfortunatly he ended up passing away from a terminal type of brain cancer. I remember when he died he passed away two days after the fourth of july, and it was nightime/very early morning when he took his last breath. I wasn't there or anything when he died but i remember when we found out that he was no longer with us the next morning my mom saying he had died around that time. I remember when we went to the funeral it was a beaitful service, very somber and comforting. The line that hits me the hardest in this song when i think of him is "I'm sorry i left but it was for the best' because he needed to go be with jesus where he wasn't/isn't in pain anymore.

My mom died due to cancer, it haunts me how i choose to neglect taking care of her. Days, weeks, months after she died, i wonder why i didn't felt guilt. Years passed, all that i do is cry. A moment kept replaying on my head, it was when i had severe stomachache and she was laying on her sickbead asking if i was okay. It breaks me everytime. Back then, i had always thought that my childhood wasnt that great because i couldn't remember any of it. Now, out of nowhere, pieces of it is reminding me that I was loved. Going to the field with my mom to watch baseball. I feel like i never grieved enough for her, and that im not qualified to do so. Im carrying this guilt forever.
