Once again, we find ourselves at the first Tuesday of August, marking this evening as National Night Out. This nationwide event encourages people to meet others in their community and feel a sense of neighborhood camaraderie. From lowkey cookouts to full-blown parades, there are plenty of events out there to check out.

But what brings people together more than music? So for this coffee break, think about songs that are bigger than just yourself.
