It’s always an awkward time after Christmas and before summer where you don’t know what kind of music to listen to. You may think, “it’s too late for Christmas music, but too early for summer music…”, right?
WRONG! At least about the summer music.
It’s always time for summer music! Sure, there are seasons where most people prefer to listen to certain music (ex. winter = Christmas music and fall = folk music), but summer songs are acceptable year-round!
Summertime music is more than just listening to songs about beaches and crashing waves (although who doesn’t love listening to songs about beaches and pretending you’re on one?!). It’s a feeling of happiness, joy, peacefulness, and serenity. Summer songs take you back to that perfect summer night – where your only care was what kind of ice cream to eat for dinner while you watch Forrest Gump.
One of the best reasons for listening to summer songs is because they are instant mood boosters and are always there to lift your spirits. They just take away your worries instantly – especially if you listen to “Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bob Marley.
