When Summer rolls around, I want four things: to feel the sun on my skin, to lay on and swim at the beach, to drive with the windows down, and to sing loud to fun music.
Sun is inevitable. Honestly, by the time we are halfway through Summer, I'm going to probably end up complaining. It just gets so hot here. But for now, I am happy that the sun is bringing out my freckles and hints of red in my auburn hair.
The beach is something I crave the second it gets warm enough to be in the water. You don't have to do much convincing to get me to take a trip to the small beach town I grew up in. It makes my heart so happy!
I really don't even mind the drive down to the coast most of the time, because a large portion of it is on back, country roads, or highways that have a similar feel. I roll the windows down, prop my arm on the window sill, and crank up the music.
This coming week, I am planning on going to the beach to visit my friends, so the beach, the sun, and a long drive with the windows down will be covered. But for a trip like this, good music is a must. So today, I am sharing a fun playlist that you can listen to whether you are road-trippin' it up like me, or are simply cleaning the house. Either way, it's a great, Summer pick-me-up!
I like sharing playlists with you because I want to 1.) give you something fun to dance around to, and 2.) I want to help you find your new favorite song. So this playlist is a combination of well-known favorites, and some lesser-known songs I think you'll like.
My favorites include La Bicicleta, Jackie and Wilson, and Sing. I hope you love these, and I'd love it if you'd follow the playlist on Spotify if you do.
What are your favorite songs on the playlist? Did you find something new that you love? Comment below!

I love playlists and this is definitely a fun one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kayla!
DeleteThis is such a fun playlist! Quite a few of these songs are on my summer collection. :)
ReplyDeleteOh good! I'm glad you liked it!!!
DeleteGotta love Hall & Oates! We have a summer playlist up on our site, today! It's the perfect time of year for good music :)
ReplyDeleteTis the season! haha.
DeleteI love listening to new playlists! I listen to Spotify as well, so it makes it even easier for me. I don't usually make my own playlists but I really should. I just have one MASSIVE playlist and then skip through all the songs I'm not in the mood to listen to lol - it would be so much more fun to create a playlist for a specific mood or activity.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun at the beach :)
Thanks girl! I plan to ;)
DeleteYou should definitely make more playlists! It really is fun! Or just follow mine ;)
love the playlist! I hadn't heard Miley's new song until you posted this, but i love it!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it good! My hubby played it for me a couple of days again and I really like it!
DeleteYeah! I listened to it twice!
DeleteThere's something so freeing about driving down a gorgeous road with the windows rolled down in the summer - and the perfect soundtrack is essential! I especially love Hozier - that whole album is so good!
ReplyDeleteYes! Hozier is so talented! Thanks for reading, Robin!
DeleteAlessia Cara has such a great voice! She sounds the exact same live as well. Also love 1985 by Bowling For Soup 😊

She does have a pretty voice, and I like that it's different from a lot of "cookie cutter" voices. haha
DeleteI love having songs playing and driving with the windows down. It's not going to be one of those days here in England today though. Soon, hopefully. xx
ReplyDeleteYES Summer Girls mad the cut;)! We listen to a lot more music in the summer time because we drive a lot more and spotify or cds are my go to! i don't trust the radio stations with the littles
ReplyDeleteThat new miley song is such a fav!
ReplyDeleteYou Make My Dreams is impossible not to start bopping your head to! I just heard the Miley song yesterday, I'm behind the curve😂
ReplyDelete1985...yesssss haha a blast from the past!! This and Clocks is all that I listen to on this list, but don't worry, I'm the weirdo for having such a particular taste in music! And girl, I can't even think of summertime when it's still in the 50s here.
ReplyDeleteSummer playlists are my favorite thing! No lie, I'm going to be playing How Far I'll Go forever until I get tired of it!
ReplyDeleteUh oh, I don't know any of these songs! I think it's because I live in the Netherlands and we're a little behind here? Although, Hall & Oats is not that new, hahah.
ReplyDeleteI love playlists! I have way too many of my own and it is so fun seeing what other people put on theirs. My favourite song on your playlist is Ed Sheeran's Barcelona that's a great tune
ReplyDeleteSummer songs are always the best! Thanks for sharing this playlist, can't wait to jam :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great songs on this playlist! I can't wait to give it a listen.
ReplyDeleteI love playlists!
