Top 30 Summer Songs

After snuggling under actual blankets and distancing for most of 2020’s spring, I think we’re all ready for summer to warm us up.  Kellie Elmore has the right idea!

We can finally get out into the sunshine and let loose.

Now, I don’t know what “let loose” means to you.  Maybe you like to put the top down on the convertible and drive with the wind in your hair.  Or perhaps you pull your hair up and hike the trails of your favorite state or national park.  Do you like to take the boat out on the lake and have a party?

My favorite way to “let loose” is to go for a drive with the hubby which ends with me sitting in my camping chair near a body of water – sand optional!  What is required is a good summer playlist – usually on my phone – adding to the natural sounds of the water hitting the beach and the gulls overhead.

In no particular order, here are my Top 30 Summer Songs

Make Your Own Playlist

Amazon Music can help you create your playlist.  I use Google Play Music on my Android phone.  (I hear it’s all transferring to YouTube Music by summer’s end, but for now it’s still the best!)  It’s super easy to find songs and create playlists.  And it’s pretty cheap, too.  (You know I wouldn’t be using it if it wasn’t!)
