I love sunsets- finding a roof with a cool view, vibing out to chill songs and contemplating life. Here are some songs that set the mood for cute sunset vibes :)

“If We Were a Movie” – Hannah Montana

Of course, the first song I mention is by Hannah Montana. She is such an underrated artist- every single one of her songs is a bop. This song in particular gives you the ultimate main character moment. It’s so upbeat and nostalgic at the same time, and it really makes you feel like you’re the protagonist of an epic coming-of-age movie.

“Places We Won’t Walk” – Bruno Major

This song sets a calmer tone and is more contemplative. It allows you to reflect on the little things in life, like “sunlight dancing off the leaves,” or “flowers filled with buzzing bees.” It really gets you to appreciate look back and appreciate all the simple things in life. Although there is a bit of a sad undertone, because these moments are fleeting, so it’s important to enjoy them while they last.

“We Fell in Love in October” – Girl in Red

There’s such a soothing tone to this song and it’s definitely very vibey. It’s a little bit melancholic, but also really hopeful. It makes me feel like maybe I can find love someday. There are also some lyrics that are perfect for rooftop vibes, like “smoking cigarettes on the roof, you look so pretty and I love this view.” It’s just such a feel-good song and cool vibes all around.

“Summertime in Paris” – Jaden

Jaden is an absolute icon. Good song. That’s all I have to say.

“Let’s Fall in Love for the Night” – FINNEAS

This song is about temporary love. You know that you can’t be with them long-term but you want to be happy with them for just one night. I can definitely relate to this and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just how life goes sometimes. It is what it is.

“Carry Me Back” – Mild High Club

When I listen to this song, I feel like I’m tripping on some type of psychedelic. It makes me feel so nice and warm inside. It also makes me feel so nostalgic and gets me thinking about parts of my past that I miss. This is shown especially with some of the lyrics like, “maybe a chance, but the lonely feeling… is it gonna last?” or “carry me back, show me my past.” 

“This Guy’s in Love with You” – Herb Alpert

This song has the perfect combination of different instruments like brass, strings and some crazy piano runs, which all blend so seamlessly. It’s such a joyful song and there are some sections where you’re completely enveloped in this big, beautiful passionate sound. When I listen to this song it genuinely feels like my ears are having an orgasm.

So yeah, these are my song recommendations for cute sunset vibes. I hope you find a cool rooftop to watch the sunset and jam out to vibey songs while reflecting on life and having your main character moment.
