Some of my favorites! So excited Summer is just around the corner!
I think I have just about every single one of those on my summer playlist! I love Kenny Chesney and Rascal and count on them through summer!I also LOVE Jimmy Buffett!
Summer GIrls by LFO! It is a classic!
My absolute favorite is “Folding Chair” by Regina Spektor.
“Come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies”
So good! Jimmy Buffett is also amazing! Margaritaville is a fav of mine!
Oh my gosh I love all of your country suggestions! I heard a great one a few weeks ago, Groovy Little Summer Song by James Otto. His voice is amazing!
Those songs are all great! I would add Bryan Adams’ “Summer of 69″ just because it is such a classic! =)
Ah….Amber by 311!
