Matthew Steven Whitaker – 4th of July (Spotify)
“Music as nothing else in this world absorbs all that surrounds us. In such works where guitars are so naturally and harmoniously revealed, the singer's voice and the good atmosphere of Neofolk, create a certain and unforgettable mood.”
“Музыка как ничто другое в этом мире впитывает в себя всё то, что окружает нас. Подобные произведения, в которых так естественно и гармонично раскрываются гитары, искренний голос вокалиста и добрая атмосфера neofolk, создают определённое и незабываемое настроение.”

Artist shared few words about this song:
"This is me channeling extreme heartbreak into a song. I went through a breakup on the 4th of July. After a year or so with only the verses, I wrote the chorus while going through another tragic breakup. Sad songs seem to come about easier than happy ones. I tend to think it’s because music is a great outlet to channel our sadness. Yet, happiness needs no outlet." - Matthew Steven Whitaker
