What are you listening to this summer?
Looking for a summer soundtrack. And go! (Please.)
22 - Taylor Swift
Sometimes I play Taylor Swift around my ten-year-old niece, Sabrena, knowing it’s one of the few things we agree about, and I start to feel happy and giddy and buoyant, like last year didn’t happen and I don’t know what employment’s like. And so I start singing along: “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling twenty-two!”
And my niece rolls her eyes.
“Bec-Bec, I don’t feel twenty-two,” she says. “I’m only ten.”
Okay. It’s okay. I’m 31.
Out of My League - Fitz & the Tantrums
annaverity had me convinced this was one of the best albums of this summer (I’m calling it summer!), but then I had to go get all obsessed with The National’s new album. So when and if you need a change of pace from The National, here’s this fantastic song on this fantastic album. It’s waiting for you.
Don’t Swallow the Cap - The National
“Everything I love is on the table. Everything I love is out to sea.”
I don’t know. Maybe I just want to think of this as “England,” Part II. But I dig this song and I’m digging this album and this might get me through the summer with more levity than any other album by any other band.
Brave - Sara Bareilles
“Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out.”
Mirrors (Radio Edit) - Justin Timberlake
I’m A-okay with this being part of my summer soundtrack. Welcome back, JT. (I’m just going to try to forget about “Suit & Tie.”)
Sea of Love - The National
Counting down the days to May 21.
