Music is something almost everyone can relate to. Some people find a deeper connection with each other through some music. I personally love music because of the short stories they tell that add up. Here are 11 songs by famous artists that will guide you through a fun exciting summer!
1. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
Lets start off by being 100 percent honest. You're probably coming off of a stressful semester of papers and test. So if you don't want to do anything, well then don't! It's your summer. If you have to work to make some extra cash this summer, make some time to be lazy. You earned it!
2. "Free Fallin" - Tom Petty
Raise your hand if you are surprised this song made the cut. No one, thought so. The lyrics explain it all. If you've managed to live in a box all your life and have no idea what I am talking about, just go play this song right now.
3. "Who Says" - John Mayer
An all time favorite here for me. If you are going to listen to one song from John Mayer, go for this one. The song is all about just doing whatever you set your mind to. No one is stopping you! So take that weekend trip you've been dying to do.
4. "Summer of '69" - Bryan Adams
I promise I'm not being cliche on purpose. However, this song is absolutely awesome! Make this summer of '16 one you can look back on. Maybe even write an all time hit about it years later.
5. "Drive By" - Train
For all my locals, they will be in NH this summer! As for why they made the list, summer love of course! Train has some awesome songs about being in love. But this song is all about meeting someone and risking it. Not just another one night stand, but a chance at something more.
6. "The Cave" - Mumford & Sons
Don't let those not trying to live hold you down. This is your summer. Who knows how many more you will have. Tell that friend that you have better things to do rather than be pulled down with them.
7. "Never Going Back Again" - Fleetwood Mac
Honestly, great jam right here. This band is very chill, but this song here is just about heading forward. Keep on keeping on as some may say.
8. "Photograph" - Ed Sheeran
Besides that I am told I look like this guy all the time, the song is true. Photographs create memories. Some are great and some are bad, but in the end its better to have them then to not.
9. "Breakeven" - The Script
Not everything is going to go great this summer. Honestly, sometimes things really suck. But remember things happen for a reason, so don't let it get you down.
10. "I Won't Give Up" - Jason Mraz
To counter the last one, Jason Mraz raises a great point! Don't give up. As many artist before him said, don't give up on love. Don't give up on how you feel, the summer is meant for this time.
11. "Can't Stop The Feeling" - Justin Timberlake
To end it all, just be free. Justin Timberlake coming back at it with another great hit has inspired me to go for it this summer. So don't stop if you're feeling it, because you can't stop it.
