Songs of summer


Favourite songs about Summer




Len - Steal my Sunshine

No other song in my opinion spells summertime like this one here. It is by Canadian sibling, one-hit wonders called Len. I think it is about teenagers getting wasted and talking about it the next day. Great tune..v v addictive.
Summertime is one of my favourite Janis Joplin songs. She was like the female Robert Plant. She was the archetypical rock-n-roll stereotype, amazing talent and range of voice, but eternally flawed by alcohol and drug abuse. Also check out Club of 27.



Here comes the sun, by George Harrison.
During a troubled part of my life this song gave me a lot of hope.
It is one of the best George Harrison tunes, the other one in my opinion being "Something". George wrote and composed it by himself and this is one of the most remarkable Beatles songs. 
I still get chills thinking about the time when I was alone in my room and"Here Comes The Sun" started playing and I had tears started streaming down my face. It is a tragedy that songs like this one here are not written anymore.
