A perfect accompaniment to lazing on a beach, kicking back relaxing in a park or in the hustle and bustle of a humid city is that perfect summer soundtrack. A collection of music that epitomises the season, the sultry, relaxed, sunny vibe that summer gives off. I love how various songs can be a soundtrack to a moment, a season, a time period, a person, a friendship, a romance. Music is so important and for me hearing the first few notes of a song that has been faithfully stored on your iTunes for years can bring you back, in an instant, to a life altering moment.
Here is my shortlist (with new and old faithful tunes):
The Black Keys - Ever Lasting Light
Plasticines - Barcelona
The Drums - Let's Go Surfing
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
Norah Jones - Chasing Pirates
Har Mar Superstar - Almond Joy

Solange - Stillness Is The Move
Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up
Crowded House - Weather With You

Basement Jaxx - Raindrops
Frank Sinatra - Come Fly With Me
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
