Happy Monday everyone! Today is my first day back from vacation so you know I’m going to need a little pick me up! The first day back is always the hardest. No matter how much I enjoy what I do, nothing compares to a whole week of lazy beach days with my family. So since it’s Monday and I need a pick me up I thought you might need one too! There is nothing that works faster to shift my mood than some good music so today I’m giving you a Monday Mix Tape! (You DO know what a mix tape is? Remember hitting record just as the song came on the radio and praying you didn’t miss the first 5 seconds?!)
Here is my Monday Mix Tape selections for you sans the radio intro.
Lauryn Hill – Doo Wop (That Thing) – So many good lyrics in this “How you gonna win when you ain’t right within?”
Zac Brown Band – Mango Tree (Featuring Sarah Bareilles) – If this doesn’t make you feel like your at the beach I don’t know what will!
Danielle Bradbury – Endless Summer – This song reminds me of teenage summers full of that freedom that only comes during those years of fleeting responsibility and 3 months of summer vacation. “Warm winds blowing, reckless through my mind.”
Zara Larsson – Lush Life – This song just makes me wanna dance. “I’ma dance my heart out til the dawn…. All night. All summer”
Ingrid Michaelson – Celebrate (Feat AJR) mmm this is like a throw back song I didn’t know I had! Roll down your windows and blast this. Clap, Snap, whatever you gotta do just get that groove!
What are some of your pick me up songs? or throw back jams? What makes you roll down the window and sing it out?
Have a great Monday everyone! And if you need a little beach time just imagine yourself in this picture listening to the waves roll!
