Marianne Thomas’ Punchy Single, ‘Just July’, Is A Powerful Country Anthem

Marianne Thomas’ single, ‘Just July’ is a punchy country anthem which you can’t help but tap your feet to. One single spin of the song will have you singing the resonant melody for the rest of the day. ‘Just July’ is an autobiographical song about a girl who is putting her life on hold while waiting for her partner’s “ship” to come in. He keeps telling her he’s going to hit it big – but time keeps passing until they reach yet another July.

The lyrics state: “It’s just July, just another July. Don’t know whether to laugh or whether to die. It’s just July, just another July. He said, ‘Baby, come summer!’ Oh how time flies…” As the song progresses to the bridge, our protagonist, who we can all relate to, tries to grasp the fact that her life is up to her. She can’t keep waiting for someone else and for another July to come and go. “The only answer I hear, and damn if it’s true, is honey, you can’t change nothin but you.”

This bold song confers a vivid life lesson that is relatable to the listener, and causes you to pause and reflect. There are defining moments in life when a person must decide to live life on their own terms and take their destiny into their own hands. You can listen to Marianne Thomas’s single here:
