Relaxing 4th of July Ambience: Summer Night with Distant Fireworks, Crickets, and Fireflies

[@CalmedByNature]

🦉📖 *. . . Fourth of July by the lake is a special day, maybe your favorite day of the year. School is a distant memory, summer days sprawl ahead. You experience the world through the sensations on the bottoms of your bare feet: the cool grass, the dusty path, the sun-warmed planks of the dock. You feel ebullient, full of an excitement that fires off in every direction at once. You and the other kids run wild through the yard, past the rusty old red truck, the tire swing, and grandpa playing banjo on the porch. You pass the whole afternoon plunging into fresh, cold water of the lake and re-emerging into the heat of the sun, again and again. When you return to the house, dripping and famished, the barbecue is sizzling and the picnic table is piled high with sausages, burgers, pie, and lemonade. As night falls, fireflies fill the yard with magical dots of light. You are dry now, muscles tired and warm from playing in the lake all day. Blankets have been spread out on the grass, and you flop onto one: it's time for fireworks! The distant booms and crackles mingle with softly chirping crickets as magical sparkles light up the sky over the lake. You stare until your eyes begin to blur, then droop. You can't remember another day so pure and beautiful and full of fun. You drift to sleep. . .* 🦉👋 Hello relaxed person that read my story - thank you! Do you enjoy this type of video?

Honest to God, this is exactly how I remember my 4th of July’s growing up as a kid in the 90’s in Nebraska. The sound of the boom’s from the fireworks in the distance. The sounds of crickets and cicadas singing throughout the night. The slight breeze in the cool of the evening. Growing up in the 90’s was absolutely magical.

[@creedysgirl]

This almost makes me cry. The fireflies, the fireworks, just beautiful. One of my favorites hands down.

[@philippians4890]

Hope they were happy tears of good times and memories :) I use a lot of nostalgia in my videos so the emotions are bound to rise to the surface sometimes ❤️ Take care!

I love this! I love the sound of people talking, laughing, having fun in the distance. Could you do more of that? Like maybe napping on a blanket by a lake with people swimming and splashing in the distance. Kids laughing, a bird singing here and there, maybe an ice cream truck. I know I would love that!

Me too ! And cry my eyes out longing for that .

[@teresas8173]

Sweetheart11 , have a barbque or picnic, swim if there is somewhere you can do that or even a sprinkler is fun for kids, some yummy ice cream, the fireworks. All my 4th of July’s have been different, not sure why. Some years big family cookouts, or beach party, sometimes lakeside, even camping. One year that was so hot went to the public pool with my husband and very young daughter, picnicked and swam, then watched fireworks later that night. Quiet, but a very nice memory as they all were. My family is now very small, many have passed away so I can relate to that. Just be with your children and it can be wonderful.

[@OneTrueWord1988]

Sweetheart11: I agree and identify with every single thing you said! God bless you and your family! 💕🇺🇸💕

[@m.layfette6249]

Every year for as long as I can remember, my daughter and I have a holiday tradition. We pack up our folding chairs and head to downtown Kernersville NC to watch the fireworks 🎇🎆. It's nothing overly spectacular, just some beautiful fireworks and what we like to call, the Best view in the city. We park our lawn chairs under 2- Oak Trees. Spray on plenty of insect repellent, grab some ice cream from the local dinner just a few blocks away, sit back and enjoy the show!! And for a few brief hours, we relax, laugh, ohh and ahhh and just spend time being Mommy and Baby. 🎇💕🤗

[@CalmedByNature]

Simple traditions are the best :) I hope you two have a great time this year.

Still the BEST 4th of July Ambience ever! Has given our home a lot of joy this Independence Day again.

[@CalmedByNature]

[@LusterDust]

I can't believe it's already been two years since this was posted. I've listened to this probably almost every day. I listen to it for writing and reading, in the background for story-listening. It's my only taste of crickets that sound like they're from "home," those low, slower not-constant crickets that I only heard in the desert. Fireworks are one of my favorite things and then you top it off with WIND CHIMES? I seriously don't think this has ever left my tabs in my browser. I don't know why, but I can't find those crickets anywhere without an annoying high-pitched constant ringing cricket alongside it.

[@CalmedByNature]

Im glad you have connected so well with this one. I recorded these crickets myself near my home in Oregon. I also really like this style of cricket but maybe that’s just because it’s want I grew up hearing. The more high pitched cricket sounds are not very relaxing to me in general. I have some other videos that use this same cricket sound if you ever decided to watch any of my other summer night videos. Anyway, thanks for sharing your comment. Take care

That's exactly what I hope to capture in these types of videos. I love that timeless feeling of rural America. I grew up on a little farm and my dad was a wheat farmer so I am very fond of that imagery.

[@patricialong5767]

This reminds me of so much where I grew up in the Columbia Gorge. We could not quite see the fireworks from where we lived, ten miles out of a tiny town in WA, but we could hear the sounds of the fireworks! :) And we had the day off from working on the little farm, aside from the feeding/caring for the farm animals. We always ended the day with strawberry sundaes, after a replete dinner of hot dogs and mom's homemade potato salad and watermelon! What a delight, and yes, we could hear the crickets beginning the dusk's chorus, added to by the night owls! What tender memories! It makes me really miss my parents and siblings who have passed on! God Bless this country and my family and friends! See you again SOON, beloved family! :)

[@CalmedByNature]

Where in the Gorge did you grow up? That sounds very idyllic! I love to experience a 4th like the one you described. A year or two ago I spent my 4th down at the Columbia River watching from river park in Hood River. The Gorge is a great spot for fireworks!

[@CalmedByNature]

Glad you enjoy Ross! I'm trying my best to create something unique. I want to tell stories and create new worlds! Thanks for coming along for the ride :)

Fourth of July was too triggering for my husband and I as we just lost our son two weeks ago. I played this all day yesterday instead and it brought the nostalgic feeling of the holiday in a way our hearts could manage. Thank you for the gift. You are appreciated.

[@CalmedByNature]

I'm so sorry for your loss Skye. Take care 💙

[@Starlight-wx3ls]

Ahh How I wish I could see what is cooking inside that house...I can almost smell pancakes...

[@CalmedByNature]

haha! if only I could create smellovision Thanks for commenting Star Light - take care and happy 4th!

[@cyberpunkgirl7907]

if people are happy together with their families, no matter how distant or far away they are, my heart feels happy too. 💟

[@CalmedByNature]

Lovely sentiment, I couldn't agree more!

[@patrickbrisbin1057]

I feel like i should be outside now

[@CalmedByNature]

I bring the outside world to you! I definitely encourage you to go outside though

[@larainesmith3896]

I loved the peace and quiet here. I yawned and got drowsy. :)

[@CalmedByNature]

Wonderful :)

[@_JS__]

This is quite possibly my favorite ambience of yours. It really pulls you into that Americana 4th of July experience. I will definitely be using it as we come into this nice summer weather, thank you for your hard work as always!

[@CalmedByNature]

Thanks JS, I had a lot of fun creating this last summer

[@jsapcakrrow]

What a perfect day you described. I would love to be a kid again to experience a day like that. Love the owl on top of the house.

[@CalmedByNature]

I'm not a kid but I think I'll always be young at heart :) Thanks for the kind words Peggy! Hope you have a wonderful 4th!

[@k.embers]

This video makes me think that I’m an outdoor person who loves summer (neither of which are true! 😂). Awesome job! Beautiful and so calming!

[@CalmedByNature]

😂 Ha! Well I guess that's perfect for you! I guess you can still love the idea of summer without actually doing the activities that are associated with it. Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words Kaley and I hope you have a lovely 4th of July week :)

[@kyliefunk8345]

By far still my favorite summer video, as soon as it's warm out it's on my screen

[@CalmedByNature]

I have good memories of making this video 💙

[@leeanneduda1631]

love this, i want to live there! brings back good childhood memories, thank you incredible job! :))

[@CalmedByNature]

Glad you enjoyed it Leeanne Duda! I wanted this one to feel very nostalgic so I'm happy to know I could help bring back some classic 4th of july feelings and memories for you! Take care!

[@TheWheelchairGuy]

This is fourth of July of heaven

[@CalmedByNature]

I'm glad you think so! I wanted to create an extra dreamy feeling in this video. I think we all need a little nostalgia right now

[@AngelaSchmidtcharismakitty]

This came up in my recommendations today, of course. Love your channel, CBN, and this totally put me in the 4th of July mood. Everything about this scene makes me feel right at home sweet home. You’ve captured the essence of being at peace in America. Thank you for bringing some much needed calm to my holiday. 🙂 P. S. Love the owl surveying the land from the rooftop. 😉

[@sjack617]

Thank you for your energy, time and devotion in making these memorable soundscapes! You are a part of every holiday this family celebrates. Many, many thanks!

It has a festive mood. I must be sad to go to sleep because I am excited at night when fireworks and fireflies fly. 😊👍

[@CalmedByNature]

Ha! They will be there when you wake up :) Thanks for the kind words

[@slenderhopesmith8587]

So sweet. Again...a place we'd all love to be. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a little place by a pond, and to be able to watch fireworks going off in the distance. Cozy and romantic. Very good!

[@CalmedByNature]

I could not agree more! Glad you're enjoying it 😊

[@philippians4890]

Wow... I think you outdid yourself!! This is spectacular!! You successfully captured the essence of this holiday, especially the part about feeling like you’re a kid again!! I love this so much!! Thank you🥰❤️🤍💙🦉🪕🎶🎆

You're welcome! I'm glad you like it. I wanted to capture that summer / july 4th feeling that I remember from my childhood and hopefully it would resonate with everyone else too. Hope you're having a good start to your week :)

[@artisancreations8766]

Well done, love it. Very American. Miss the America we grew up with and loved and what it stood for. Now being destroyed. This is a memory of it.

[@theotherdave8013]

we cant shoot off much here, we cant do much due to the virus. I appreciate this, least we can kick back and kind of enjoy the holiday.

Yes enjoy these from your home instead of going out this year. It's not a s good but at least it's something :) Take care!
