Looking For The Perfect Summer Playlist?

This is a response to My Top 5 Summer Artists for 2023.

Each summer, I'm always trying to create the perfect set of tunes that will match the summer's vibe and be something that I continuously want to listen to. Sometimes, it's really hard! Here are some artists that I'd recommend giving a listen to so that maybe they can make it on your summer playlist:

Artist: Harbour

(My) Top Tracks: Float, I've Only Started Running, and Thoughts On Letting Go

This band is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and creates some amazing tunes. They have a few albums, all following a kind of indie-roadtrippy-adventure sound. They have some emotional tunes, as well as some light-hearted love tracks, and then some that make you want to travel the world with them as your soundtrack. It all fits with the summer vibe, and they're slowly on the rise to becoming a big name.

Artist: Prince of Eden

Top Tracks: Ini, Shadesandcolors, and Mammal Talk

Prince of Eden is a solo artist rising slowly with his eclectic, indie-rock sound. His music feels like it should be set to a coming-of-age movie where the main character is traveling and understanding more about themself. Some of the songs have deeper, beautiful lyrics, while others just sound mesmerizing and make you want to go on an adventure.

Artist: Eagles

Top Tracks: Take It Easy - 2013 Remaster, Peaceful Easy Feeling - 2013 Remaster

An oldie but a goodie! For those who love folk rock with a hint of country, or enjoy their hit "Hotel California," then I encourage you to give Eagles a more thorough listen. I'll admit, I only recently began listening to more of their stuff after a friend recommended them. I didn't realize how much I knew (and liked) already of their music! It feels easy-going and calm, the perfect background tunes when cooking in your kitchen, doing chores, or just hanging around outside this summer.

Other Random Songs & Artists: Love & War in Your Twenties (Jordan Searcy), Changes (Joy Oladokun), August (Acoustic, Flipturn), Dancer (Léon), and Backup (Ripe)

These are just some of my favorites that I've found so far. Hopefully there's something in here that fits your type of music or at least something that can be part of your summer playlist! For me, music can always bring me right back to a memory, especially summer songs. I know these tracks will remind me in the future of this time of my life and they'll bring back lots of good mems.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
