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 building a playlist around one simple idea:
Pure summer.
Not one genre, not one decade.
Just songs that instantly make you think of sunshine, road trips, beach bars, open windows, holidays and good memories.
The playlist jumps from:
to
and then into
plus a selection of Finnish summer classics.
It's basically the soundtrack to the best summer day you can imagine.
