(There is nothing I love more about summer than rolling down the windows in the car, blasting some music to get me pumped up, and feeling the cool wind on my face. Although you could listen to these tunes any time of the year, there’s something about the summer sunshine that makes you want to get up and dance (or if you’re me, awkwardly flail around and call it dancing).
Today, I have made a playlist of 30 songs which really capture the summer spirit for me. I love tunes with fast beats, high notes, some cool instrumental or electronic lines, and lyrics that portray an “I don’t care” attitude. Don’t worry, all the songs featured are the clean versions so you can blast this playlist even with your parents around. (I should mention that these songs are in no particular order based on which I like the most.)
You may have noticed that the playlist follows a general trend, along the lines of what I described above. All of these aspects, either together or on their own, just get your blood pumping, making it irresistible to break out singing and/or dancing. It was really hard for me to select the perfect combination of songs together, so I recommend listening to it with shuffle off.
I understand that it doesn’t incorporate many indie bands or some of the other non-mainstream artists, but that’s mainly because I only listen to the radio. My playlists consist of Top 40 hits, soundtracks from movies and musicals, as well as six hours of classical and orchestral pieces (which probably won’t get you pumped up). This just happens to be the music I enjoy, so I hope nobody judges me for it.
