Everyone needs a good playlist as they take slow summer rides or watch the sunset. I have a compiled a short list of songs that have made my summer more enjoyable and relaxing (despite the forty hour work week).
1. Slip Away - Perfume Genius
If you saw the film Booksmart, then you probably recognize this melody. This song starts off slow, but then quickly dives into a punk rock ballad that will definitely get stuck in your head.
2. Hanging By A Moment - Lifehouse
I rediscovered this song after listening to a Spotify rewind playlist. If this is your first time hearing this it, I feel so sorry that your early 2000s lacked Lifehouse. I think every summer playlist needs a little nostalgia mixed into it.
3. June - Briston Maroney
"June" takes a departure from the summer rock ballads previously mentioned. While it moves at a slower tempo, it's the lyrics that have me longing for the summer months.
4. Happiest Man On Earth(Radio Edit) - Broken Back
I would call myself a fan of Broken Back, and this was one of the first songs that I got me hooked. The entire song is upbeat and it is just destined to be blasted out of car windows.
5. WESTWORLD - EVAN GIIA
You know how some songs are just meant to be on a repeat until you get sick of it? "WESTWORLD" is one of those songs. I will say no more.
6. She's So High - Tal Bachman
If you're yearning for some summer nostalgia, then this 90s ballad is definitely meant for your playlist. While you may not recognize the song, chances are you have heard the lovesick lyrics and the guitar rift.
