The Summer Song

Now we're at the end of July, the big question I must ask is; what is your signature 2013 Summer song?!

Could is be Radio 1's chart topper Robin Thicke with Blurred Lines, or could it be Icona Pop with  I Love It, or perhaps a golden oldie? I don't know what yours is but I can't choose! So here's my top 10 'summer' songs.

At no.10 is...Scouting For Girls with Summertime in the City, now I know this song is a year old, but no song is too old to be classed as a summer song! Plus if you live in England you'll know what summers are normally like, more rain than in the winter! I think one of my reasons for loving this song is because of the video, it explains the song so well and British summers! So whether the weather, whatever the weather, listen to this song this summer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haGtWXElfhw

No.9 is... Airplanes by Hayley Williams and B.O.B. this song reminds me of lazy Sundays in the sun (or more in the shade), I'll let you decide on with this one, but I prefer the chorus! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6-c223DUU


No. 8is... John Newman with Love Me Again. If you're at a party this summer stick this on the playlist, or if you're in a ca roll down the windows, turn up the volume and blast this through the streets. This song is one that will get you up at dancing around, it's got a great beat that makes people just love it, this shows with the UK's Official Chart, with it coming at no 4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfihYWRWRTQ

No.7 is... Bryan Adams with a joint no.7 with Summer of 69 and When You're Gone. These are both classic songs, first is When You're Gone, you can't not sing this at the top of your lungs and feel great after a bit of a sing song. Also with Summer of 69, everyone knows it and it's a good ol' classic.  Summer of 69 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFjjO_lhf9c
When You're Gone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W2jONIjrM0


No.6... The Vaccines with their awesome song Wetsuit, this is an odd ball summer song, now when you listen to it you may not think 'summer' but when I listen to it I think of being on the beach with this song whistling along with the waves. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY4J3sVMmN0

No.5 Summer Lovin, come on it's a no-brainer! Need I say more? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG_XYQZikWc&noredirect=1

Quick interruption for some of the people I asked answers of what they thought the perfect summer song was;
-Don Henley, Boys Of Summer
-Shakira, Hips Don't Lie
-Mark Morrison, Return of the Mac
-Wham!, Club Tropicana
-30 Seconds To Mars, Kings and Queens
-Goo Goo Dolls, Slide
-Don McClean, American pie
-Donna Summer, Hot Stuff

At no.4 is...Eliza Doolittle Big When I Was Little, I was so happy that when I turned on a various radio station the other day I heard the familiar voice of Eliza Doolittle. I have always loved everything Eliza has done, so this was a song that I turned right up on my radio   so the whole world (well town but you know) could hear this amazing, happy summery song. This is the perfect song to have in a garden party, as it gets later and you want to dance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqGx1lfyb6s&list=LL9ctzTifv2rpmUyPmXtPyyg&feature=mh_lolz

Coming in at no.3 is... Gabrielle Aplin with Panic Cord this is a beautiful song that is perfect for lounging around listening to- in fact all of the album is English Rain, it's out now get it on iTunes- I think this song would be perfect if you were in a hammock swaying with the wind. Or failing that, somewhere where wind will be swooshing through your hair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLdTcr98fSs
 and while you're there you may as well watch her new video for Home :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVbdjec0pA

The penultimate summer song of 2013 I think has to be Daft Punk with Get Lucky. It was the perfect comeback for Daft Punk and they have set it up to be the perfect Summer song of 2013. If you haven't heard this, where have you been?! Well here it is for you guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I&list=LL9ctzTifv2rpmUyPmXtPyyg

And in my opinion the ultimate Summer song has to be Dancing in the Street David Bowie and Mick Jagger. I can't help it, it's perfect for street parties (clues in the name). It's also perfect if you're in a country that classically has bad weather throughout the summer, listen to this and it will brighten your day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I&list=LL9ctzTifv2rpmUyPmXtPyyg

Misty Miller

Misty Miller is a 19 year old from South London, at the young age of just 15 she recorded her first album which was then released in February 2011, it was recorded at Rak Studios.When listening to Misty I can see that she is a very talented young lady, since she was young she was writing her own songs and she plays the guitar, she also has a band that play with her; Dan, Jack and Jak.

When I sit and listen to her music, which I was referred to by a friend, I can tell she loves what she does, I can her Blondie in her voice and her huskiness reminds me very much of Lana Del Rey. Her style is very clearly indie/rock, her influences being The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, and as she says in her bio 'Good ol' 20's Rock'n'Roll' I agree, I would love to recommend you to listen to this star, you will not be disappointed, her voice is mesmerizing.
