Ok! Finally finished the summer songs mix. 33 excellent songs for you to download about summer or in the spirit of summer. The order of the tracks is only tentative - it finally drove me so batty I decided I had to leave it as is. Many of you probably won't download the whole mix, but if you do please feel free to shuffle the songs even before you listen.
The Summer Sends Its Love - Sherwood
The summer sends the love to you / The same as every year / But this year I will send mine too / And wish that you were here
Oceans from the Rain - Seventh Day Slumber
You make oceans from the rain / Breathing life into this place / And I will drown inside your love / Until I see your perfect face
California - Phantom Planet
Pedal to the floor / Thinkin' of the roar / Gotta get us to the shore / California here we come / Right back where we started from
Beautiful Day - U2
It's a beautiful day / Don't let it get away
Dusk and Summer - Dashboard Confessional
And she pulled you in and she bit your lip / The grasp of dusk and summer
Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow
I'm gonna soak up the sun / Gonna tell everyone / To lighten up
The Boys of Summer - The Ataris
But I can see you / Your brown skin shinin' in the sun / You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby / And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong / After the boys of summer have gone
Girls of Summer - Aerosmith
When winter hearts turn summer pink / In half the time it takes to blink / But it all depends on what'you think / About the girls of summer
It's Been a Summer - New Found Glory
I'd know when you would come back / It's been a summer / It's burning up in here / Even though the bed is cold on your side / I'd rather die than spend this night here without you
Passenger Seat - Death Cab for Cutie
I roll the window down / And then begin to breathe in / The darkest country road / And the strong scent of evergreen / From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
Ocean City Girl - Ivy
Staring out into another world / Tide is rising, but time is standing still / Ocean city girl / Is smiling
It Was Summer ... (Baby Steps) - October Fall
And it was summer / Don't hide your sunburn / Wear that shirt that's cut so low
Walking On Sunshine - Jump5
I'm walkin' on sunshine whoa! / And don't it feel good?
Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street / We would walk on the beach in our bare feet / We were both 18, and it felt so right / Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Summer Skin - Death Cab for Cutie
On the night you left I came over / And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders / Our brand new coats so flushed and pink / And I knew your heart I couldn't win / Cause the seasons change was a conduit / And we left our love in our summer skin
Steal My Sunshine - Len
And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done / So I missed a million miles of fun
We're at the Top of the World (To The Simple Two) - The Juliana Theory
We're at the top of the world / You and I / We've got alot of time and it sure feels right
Hands Down - Dashboard Confessional
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember / I'll always remember the sound of the stereo / The dim of the soft lights / The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
Sunsets and Car Crashes - The Spill Canvas
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me / You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day / And you sweetly retire as the stars chase you away
Sunshine (That Acid Summer) - Everclear
We were wasted and happy / We were laughing in the sunshine
Photobooth - Death Cab for Cutie
And as the summer's ending / The cold air will rush your hard heart away / You were so condescending / And this is all that's left scraping paper to document / I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on
Summer '79 - The Ataris
"We Are the Champions" playing out on the radio station / Everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation / Cruisin' down Pacific Coast Highway / Put the top down, crawl into the back seat / Let's create anthems of our own tonight
Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? / In your head, in your mouth, in your soul. / And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.
Hail To Whatever You Found In The Sunlight That Surrounds You - Rilo Kiley
Hail to those who have come from the sunlight that surrounds you / Pray for those who have gone from the sunlight that surrounds you
Hurricane - Something Corporate
You don't do it on purpose / But you make me shake / Now I count the hours 'til you wake / With your babies breath / Breathe symphonies / Come on sweet catastrophe
Birdhouse In Your Soul - They Might Be Giants
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch / Who watches over you / Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
The sun may rise in the east / At least it settles in the final location / Its understood that hollywood / Sells californication
Edge of the Ocean - Ivy
Oh, we can begin again / Shed our skin, let the sun shine in / At the edge of the ocean / We can start over again
From California - The New Amsterdams
Mapping it out like a master plan / Something to do with my idle hands / Write you a letter addressed from California
Staring at the Sun - TV on the Radio
(You're staring at the sun) / Oh my own voice / Cannot save me now / (standing in the sea) / It's just one more breath / And then I go down
You're So Last Summer - Taking Back Sunday
The truth is you could slit my throat / And with my one last gasping breath / I'd apologize for bleedin on your shirt
Back to California - Sugarcult
Leave it all the fights and all / Summer’s getting colder / Drive all night to hold you tight / Back to California
Motorcycle Drive-By - Third Eye Blind
Summer time and the wind is blowing outside / In lower Chelsea / And I don't know what I'm doing in this city / The sun is always in my eyes
Thanks to my awesome flist for all the help!
I was browsing through iTunes, when on the Phantom Planet Celeb Playlist I found this:
"I got started on this iTunes Playlist trying to make 'The Perfect Mix Tape.' I hope the idea of the mix tape isn't lost on the next generation of music listeners -- how about 'Mix Flash Memory Card?' When I was younger a good mix symbolized much more than just a bunch of songs put together. Giving someone a mix tape was giving him or her an insight into who you were as a person. It was also a way to gauge the degree of compatibility between two people. The mix tape existed when and where words and physical action could not."
I know I'm super-kooky trying to make illegal music sharing sound profound, but Alexander from Phantom Planet has it right. And these are our new mix tapes. I'm not just sharing these songs with you because I want to make fans of you, but to see how you'll react to certain songs, to share a tiny piece of myself, and see if we'll make a connection.
Ok, I'm officially a dork. Still ... enjoy!
