Fine-tune Summer with Targa’s Playlist
Should you choose our playlist as the backdrop to your Fourth of July Celebration, or a long drive down a winding road, we would be honored. I know that I am pressing “Repeat” now.
From Alison:
“Summer in the City” – The Lovin’ Spoonful
“Summertime” – DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince
Why: These songs are like your favorite pair of cut-off jean shorts. They are old, soft and worn, and reserved only for summer.
From Heather:
“Growing Old” – The Origin
“Rush” – Big Audio Dynamite
Why: I love these songs. They remind me of summers working between semesters during college, hanging out with my roommates, and the fun times we had.
From Taleen:
“Cruel Summer” – Bananarama
Why: Some things from our youth find roots and stay there. This song will always conjure the ultimate summer vibes for me.
“Feel Good” – Illenium w/ Daya
Why: This song begs for windows down and volume UP. One of my favorite driving songs, and that is what summer is all about.
From Justin:
“Art of Living” – Mat Kerekes
Why: All about the vibes! Not much else really. Soft yet driving and upbeat!
“Rime of the Ancient Mariner” – Iron Maiden
Why: I love history and they do a great job of storytelling. Summers are for adventuring and this song pairs well with that!
From Josh:
“Fish and Whistle” – John Prine
“Oysters in my Pocket” – Royal Otis
“Tangerine” – Led Zeppelin
Why: 3 jams from summer’s past. Carefree, upbeat, and sprawling, the perfect summer song is any one worth sharing.
From Vanna:
“Summertime” – My Chemical Romance
“Riptide” – Vance Joy
Why: All great songs for summer vibes!
From Lisa:
“Let’s Get It Started” – Black eyed Peas
From Jason:
“Africa” – Toto
Why: There must be some nostalgia here that I can’t quite pinpoint. The tribal beat and marimba make for enjoyable roadtrippin’.
“The Chain” – Fleetwood Mac
Why: The cymbal work is exhilarating…particularly the Rumors tour live version.
From Evan:
“Summertime” – Yellow Claw, Han Solo
“Electric Feel” – MGMT
“Indian Summer” – Jai Wolf
From Alec:
“Riptide” – Vance Joy
Why: It’s the first song I leanred on guitar.
