r/SongRecommendations

I used to have this remix of a James Bond song that made it sound like the instruments were circling around the listener.
I lost the song and have been looking for something similar ever since.
Something where you can hear the instruments travel from the left to the right audio channel would even be good enough.
Any genre is fine.

I made a playlist for those perfect summer mornings when everything feels a little lighter: the sun is shining, coffee tastes better, and you’re either going for a walk, a run, cycling to work, driving with the windows down, or just enjoying a slow morning.

Nothing heavy – just warm, positive, uplifting songs with that “today is going to be a good day” feeling.

A mix of feel-good pop, soul, soft rock and summer nostalgia. Songs like:

Belle Stars – Iko Iko
Jack Johnson – Upside Down
Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song
Imagine Dragons – On Top Of The World
Savage Garden – Animal Song
John Parr – St. Elmo’s Fire
Aretha Franklin & George Michael – I Knew You Were Waiting
Elton John & Aretha Franklin – Through The Storm
The Doobie Brothers – Listen To The Music
Beach Boys – Kokomo
Rusted Root – Send Me On My Way
American Authors – Best Day Of My Life
Little Big Town – Pontoon / Day Drinking
Ace of Base – Beautiful Morning
Atomic Kitten – The Tide Is High
Corinne Bailey Rae – Put Your Records On
Jason Mraz – I’m Yours

Basically: a soundtrack for a sunny morning when you have nowhere urgent to be and life feels good for a moment. ☀️

What songs would you add to this kind of summer morning playlist?

I’m looking for a good classic song that’s meant to be sung as a duet.

Example: Islands in the Stream

I recently listened to “the seed” - aurora, and woah i got goosebumps and chills all over my body- it was actually a recommendation from a friend who said the song gave her crazy chills- i later showed it to my brother and he got the same goosebumps. I need songs that give me more of those. songs that affect me a lot usually are those that either suddenly ramp up or ramp down (another ramp down in tempo example being “west coast“ - lana del rey)!

Hi all, I have a sort of an odd request! I'm looking for a walkout-type song for a dog show. My chihuahua is in the Top 20 of the US for 2025, and at the US Chihuahua National, they have a Top 20 banquet where they showcase/show the top dogs, and choose a people's choice and an overall pick. I have zero clue what kind of song I want to walkout and show to 😅

For reference, my long coat chihuahua is named Inosuke, with his registered name being "KN's Violence Is The Answer", named after Inosuke from the anime Demon Slayer. I'd like something along the lines of fitting with his theme. He is sweet, but sometimes spicy (not aggressive, just has an attitude), and the poor thing constantly gets mistaken as a girl bc of his petite/feminine face 😂 (His name worked out well in this meaning, iykyk ahaha). I feel like the show theme song/intro might be too niche, and the crowd might not quite understand the exact reference.

I am not picky on genre, just something that can be easily clipped down to 2-3 minutes, gets the crowd going (it's very much a party-type vibe), and can kind of tie in to his personality and name. I really appreciate the help, and I'd be more than happy to answer any and all questions y'all may have! TIA!

EDIT: Please no cringey suggestions, such as those with/about dogs/chihuahuas. Those are not the vibe ;-;

does anybody have any good songs about moving on? they can have a happy vibe or a sad vibe but i want the lyrics to be mostly positive.

my situation is kind of specific and if anyone gaf i posted abt it and it’s my first post (i only have 3 😭)

but anyways, i like every genre so pls tell me whatever you think of !!

i would really like songs about the struggles of ocd, since its such an important topic to me. thanks!!

edit: thanks everyone!!

I have a playlist with Sabrina Carpenter (manchild, go go juice, coincidence) and Dolly Parton, some Chappell Roan, Orville Peck. It’s got like a country twang, girly pop, gay vibe yk

Any other songs that fit that feel?

Like something you might put on a mix tape to a girl you liked in 1991.

Yes, I know there’s already 50 posts like this but what I need is different. If you know the vibe I’m looking something like, your in the middle of everything when shit hits the fan, think of the intro to ‘void in blue-Glare’ or ‘earthmover-Have a nice life’.

I don’t know many songs that have this feel, whenever I look I can’t really find anything that’s not ‘it’s the end of the world as we know it-R.E.M’.

The current songs that I do have in a playlist are:
- earthmover - Have a nice life
- hysteria - muse
- babylon - loathe
- Aoi, koi, daidaiiro no hi - mass of fermenting dregs
- bleak - ka$tro

Should probably clarify that I don’t care for lyrics or anything, more so searching for instruments, I’m purely searching for music that shit hits the fan adrenaline spike type of song, or the type of build where you slowly realise “everything is over” or “we are so fucked”.

I’ve already posted to r/musicrecommendations and suggestions, but I wasn’t satisfied with anything I was recommended really cuz most of it just didn’t suit what I’m searching for, is what I’m asking for too niche?

I need song recs. Wanting to put together a playlist i imagine the FMCs in fantasy books train to. Whatcha got?

There are some songs that are released, and then accompany us for three hot summer months, to the point of becoming either earworms, songs to line dance to, or literal torture. Some are iconic hits of decades past, some popped up in recent years.

My favourite has gotta be "Wake Me Up" by Avicii and Aloe Blacc. Which is your favourite summer hit? ☀️

I love songs about places, especially when the artist has a deep connection to the place. I have a playlist for this, but there are not many women artists on it at this point. I have a few, like Baltimore by Nina Simone, California by Chappell Roan, and Li Beirut by Fairuz. But I'd like to add more. Open to all genres except edm or similar (I like edm, just not for this playlist lol). Open to all languages.
