Remember that scene in the movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" where Emma Watson's character loves a song (number 15) so much that she climbs into the back of the pickup truck driving fast through a tunnel and spreads her arms, totally enamored by the music?
I've always loved imagining myself as the star in an iconic scene like that, and it's fun to think about which song would be the one you're dancing along to. It's like in those coming-of-age scenes where the teenagers are riding bikes through a city or cartwheeling across a beach and the song playing in the background makes it feel just like summer.
Right now, winter feels almost eternal, so to escape those rainy day blues, blast these personal soundtrack-worthy tunes.
