what song/album reminds you of summer?

[pancito]

actor by st. vincent is probably my certified summer soundtrack. i blame the album cover, and the fact that i listened to it all the time last summer. but it's actually pretty bright and colorful, yet quite suffocating at times, which is exactly how the season feels to me.

this is another example, but this one is a summer night song

[syx (dead)]

hmm..I'd have to say Tyler, The Creators album, IGOR.
It came out my last year of Middle School, and it as bittersweet having to leave my friends. So we all spent time with each other as much as we could until we parted ways, RUNNING OUT OF TIME and I THINK really hit me with nostalgia for simpler times. I'm a Senior now. It's cray.

I don't really listen to Lana Del Rey but 'Summertime Sadness' so perfectly encapsulates the experience of Summer when you're angsty, depressed or melancholic. And the song hits me quite hard sometimes.

I have an ongoing loathing of Lana Del Rey songs for personal reasons, but Summer Sadness is totally iconic. Kinda in a similar vein, this thread made me think of this song. I remember being really into it summer 2015, its got that mix of light and dark and dreamy loss that seems to accompany timeless hot days of melancholy

From France: Air - All I need

Cruel Summer by Ace of Base, particularly the Big Bonus Mix. That's kind of a given though considering it's in the title itself lol

This screams summer to me. And TES IV: Oblivion, for some reason.

For me, it's I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers and Riptide by Lance Joy. It's mostly cause I can distinctly remember the summer of 2015 and those songs were frequently playing on the radio during that time. 2015 was probably the height of my life for a lot of reasons, and both those songs really captured both my feelings of hopefulness and anxiety at the time. I'd honestly do anything to relive that era...

Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Pork Soda by Glass Animals also give me some personal summer vibes.

This one because it's in the name

For me, it's obviously "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry.

Either that or "The Boys of Summer" cover by the Ataris. This came out at the perfect time in my life to make a lasting impact. So much teenage summer drama!

Cruel Summer by Ace of Base, particularly the Big Bonus Mix. That's kind of a given though considering it's in the title itself lol

Oh my god, I had no idea Ace of Base had a cover of Cruel Summer! I love both of those things, and now they're together in one thing. Thank you!

I'm not a Lana Del Rey fan either, but the Reich and Bleich remix of Summertime Sadness really gets me.

Hmm, that is a pretty interesting question, which songs are reminiscent of which seasons. Obviously, summer songs have a higher tempo and a little more energy, on average, while explicitly summer-related lyrics are kinda optional. It's more of a mood thing than a direct reference thing, the sort of song you'd want to bring along to the swimming pool or the park to accompany you throughout your day.

I guess a lot of vaporwave really hits the spot- obviously, a lot of vaporwave is themed around heat and sunscreen and water. It's actually pretty hard to think of a winter-themed vaporwave album. The toher great thing about summer vaporwave is that a lot of it is kinda obscure. I came across this album a while back and I think it's really underrated, definitely has those nice warm undertones.

The other suggestion which comes to mind is Dee-Lite's "Picnic In The Summertime". I sorta think Dewdrops gets a bad rap, it's not as good as Infinity and nowhere near the high bar Clique set, but as far as a way to go out, it's not all that bad. "Picnic" is definitely the highlight of the track list, it has some fun things going on.

Seems like an obvious choice that'd I'd go for 'Summer' by Circadian Clock

As for songs whose vibes remind me of summer time, perhaps 'Tongue Tied' by Grouplove? It's quite an upbeat song that I'd expect to hear in some summer montage during a movie/video

This one.

[spiralstaircase]

a-punk by vampire weekend and véspera do fim do mundo by chibazqui, mainly because they're the 2 songs that would play in the car a lot whenever i went to the beach

[rugar]

any kind of 2000s pop punk song tbh lol ,, reminds me of old movies
