Ah, summertime! The season when we can finally put our feet up, relax, and soak up the sun. I know one thing I will be doing this summer is listening to music while floating in the pool or on the beach. Our summer isn't complete without music, and the type of music we choose is crucial in setting the mood.

The Power of Rhythms

Rhythm is one of the essential components of music that can instantly change your mood. It can be slow and calming or fast and upbeat. Listening to smooth jazz or classical music is perfect for those lazy, laid-back summer days, while pop and hip-hop give you the energy you need. The beats and rhythms of a song can impact our overall feeling of relaxation or excitement.

The Nostalgic Vibes of Oldies

The classic hits and oldies have a unique way of invoking nostalgia for summer days of the past, creating a relaxed and nostalgic atmosphere for us to enjoy. "California Dreamin" by The Mamas & The Papas, "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts, and "Heat Wave" by Martha and the Vandellas are just some of the classics that take us back to our favorite summer memories.

The Positivity in Lyrics

Lyrics hold a powerful place in music and can set the tone of our day quickly. When we listen to motivational or positive lyrics, we instantly feel uplifted. The same goes for lyrics that put us in the summer mood.

Music as a Memory Marker

Lastly, summer music sets a mood by marking moments and memories. The songs we listen to and associate with summertime become imprinted in our minds making them more memorable. The music we listened to while enjoying the beach, on a road trip, or just relaxing out back during a beautiful night becomes that summer's "soundtrack".

There's an ideal playlist waiting for you to create add some of these songs and we guarantee you'll be in the good summer vibes.
