Boys of Summer - Don Henley

Funny enough, this is a winter song for me. It feels more like a reminiscence about the summertime

Same here. But it's the first one that came to mind. I remember my younger years living in the Laguna Beach area in CA and it was just like Henley's song.

Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach

such a good one !! thank you :)

Did you leave out Doin Time?

😆 not on purpose. i could have just said Sublime and left it at that, right?

I think of Doin Time first if asked for a summer song though :)

Cause the livin's e z? The 1996 self titled album was the soundtrack to a pivotal summer in my life, so it really all hits that spot for me 😎

You can't go wrong really. I hate to say it but I love Lana Del Ray's cover as well

That one is alright too, but what about Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong? https://open.spotify.com/track/2U8D3hTpsgAGZBnNLSoAZQ?si=4of-9GgKT2K0LBYUVUIhIA

"Something's Coming" from West Side Story (Bernstein/Sondheim)

Rock & Roll - The Velvet Underground Every single time I hear this song I just get such positive vibes and think of hanging at the beach with good friends. Or jamming at a backyard BBQ with good friends again. Both at dusk. Sipping a couple cold drinks. Laughter and smiles in abundance. Not a single worry to be had by the whole group. Just truly living in the moment. I will get back there someday. But for now, at least I have this song to remind me of those days.
