Constructing the perfect beach playlist

Constructing The Perfect Beach Playlist

It's now summer and we all know that a good summer playlist is key for enjoying a day in the warm weather, but what are the perfect songs and artists? Well nothing feels better than lying down on your beach towel and listening to the perfect song that embodies how relaxed and happy you are. So it's time to construct your playlist, but just like cooking, every song contains different components (or ingredients) to make the sunshine spill through your speakers. Usually a good summer song has lyrics that talk about summer break, or being outside. But some songs make summer weather feel awesome by the intruments, usually using major chords so the songs sound cheerier. There even is a genre that was created called Surf Rock or Beach Rock that usually has ambient guitar and harmonic vocals that makes the song sound like you are listening to some speakers on the beach. An example of some bands that'll make your beach playlist awesome would be The Beach Boys, Seapony, Cold War Kids, The Vaccines, Harlem Shakes, The Love Language, and Mystery Jets.

Enjoy your summer!
