My Summer Playlist

To me, summer music is music that invokes a certain feel.

They are not necessarily songs about summer, but also songs about relaxing, traveling, and feeling care-free.
In short: they are songs that make ya feel good!

There are also ones that I associate with summer for some reason or other, even if they don't seem to otherwise fit.
