From the beach, to the airplane, to that weekend road trip, music accompanies us everywhere we go. The right playlist can turn the daily commute into a karaoke party. It can add to the memories of those summer road trips and serve as the perfect backdrop for lazy summer days. Listen to what was on HC Uvic’s summer playlist this year!
- Truth Hurts – Lizzo
-
Is there a better pump up anthem?––we think not.
- Doin’ Time – Lana Del Rey
-
While this song came out in late summer, we still had plenty of time to listen to it while driving around with the windows down.
- Right Down the Line – Gerry Rafferty
-
An oldie but a goldie; this is a song both you and your parents can sing along to.
- Hand Me Downs – Arkells
-
Who doesn’t love the Arkells? The Canadian band gave us loads to put on our summer playlist with their 2019 Album Rally Cry.
- Make Me Feel – Janelle Monae
-
Ok, we guess this song might compete with Truth Hurts for best pump-up song. Let’s call it a tie.
- Barcelona – George Ezra
-
Just one of many songs by crooner Geroge Ezra that made it on our summer playlists.
- Chicken Fried – Darrius Ruckers
-
Maybe you don’t like country, but we dare you not to sing along to this BBQ classic.
- Take Me Home, Country Roads – John Denver
-
This song needs no introduction.
- Falling Water – Maggie Rogers
-
The whole album is great but I guess if we have to choose one, we’ll go with the title track.
- French Riviera – Cautious Clay
-
It’s about taking chances and making do with what you’ve got, which is perfect for summer!
- Come down – Anderson Paak
-
From the movie Booksmart, this song has a funky beat that’s perfect for dancing or working out.
