What songs do you enjoy for a summers day? I was thinking of making a 2nd CD to this mix, so any suggestions would be great!

Discuss.

Aretha Franklin - Higher

"Your love, liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forevermore"

Ben E King - Stand By Me.

"When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, so

Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me"

Reminds me of my childhood and of the summer. What's better than that? CLASSIC

Oh and also Dub Be Good To Me by Beats International.

Everyone knows this song. Starts out with this:

"Take fly boss walk jam nitty gritty
You're listenin to the boy form the big bad city
This is jam hot, this is jaaaam hot"

Then it hits that wonderful reggae bassline. SUMMER!

Not really I like Summer....actually I think hating an entire season is stupid...I don't feel like hating one fourth of my live....also, all seasons have advantages and disadvantages....so....not me.

As for Music...well i basically listen to the same stuff as well...all year round....I don't think that good Music changes with the Season....

Good Music Doesn't Change with the season...

It's just that some good songs ooze summer appeal...
and when the sun is shining it's nice to play them... cool

I still listen to the other songs on my zen but sometimes when the sun is shining it just seems right to listen to "fresh prince - summertime" over "Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday"

in the summer i tend to prefer upbeat or happy songs....to gloomy ones i listen to mostly in the summer

Outkast: any of their first 3 albums

along with that, anything extremely funky. early chili peppers, early dre/snoop, anything george clinton related.
