Summer is a season that speaks to the heart, evoking vivid memories and cherished moments. Music plays a significant role in capturing those feelings, and here are some of the songs that remind me of summer and happiness.
Classic Summer Hits
The sound of the summer can't help but transport me to carefree days. Some of my favorite songs from my childhood summer holidays include:
"Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams "Miracles" by Bon Jovi "Dancing Queen" by ABBAThese songs are more than just catchy tunes; they have a way of making the summer feel like an unending vacation. Listening to them reminds me of the good times, the optimizations, and the joy of those sun-kissed days.
Nostalgic SummerMelodies
There are some songs that never fail to take me back in time. This one, for example, made me drop the top on warm nights:
"I Took a Pill in Ibiza by Mike Posner, Remixed by Seeb"
And this gem by George Howard is perfect to crank loud when the sun is shining:
"Same As This"
California Summer Vibes
Summer isn't just about the warmth and the sun. Sometimes, it's about the cool breezes, and these songs capture that feeling:
"That Summer Feeling by Jonathan Richman" "Feels Like Summer by Weezer" "Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts"Jonathan Richman's version is the best, and it reminds me of swaying with my girlfriend at a concert in December, which was an unexpected and joyful memory.
Modern Summer Anthems
These songs may not have been around during my childhood summers, but they still capture the essence of a carefree season:
"Summertime Blues by The Who" "Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang" "In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry" "Feels Like Summer by Weezer" "Lipstick Covered Magnet by The Front Bottoms"These songs, especially 'Feels Like Summer' by Weezer, evoke a similar vibe as the classic hits. They are perfect to play late at night or early in the evening when the temperatures start to drop and you're enjoying a cold drink.
