Nonetheless, today I have created something of a brainchild. A medley of my music taste, if you will, that perfectly express my emotion toward summer - a carefree, light and happy atmosphere that just makes you want to roll your windows down and feel the wind in your hair. I tried to use a combination of older songs and newer songs, infused a few Top 40 songs, and even used a rap song.
Behold, the first 5 songs from my summer 2012 playlist, with a Youtube video and description of each song:
Released in 2006, this was the song that gave Boys Like Girls their original rise to fame. Note how old the song actually is: Martin, the lead singer, is still relatively tattoo-free and is using brown contacts to, for a reason unbeknownst to me, hide his beautiful blue eyes. "The Great Escape" was the first song released off of their debut album, and could not be more perfect for summer.
Back to my Canadian roots, homegrown talent Down With Webster released "Your Man" in 2009 after a remake of "Rich Girl". The video is absolutely hilarious, and the song just has a summer-party feel to it.
