If you know me, you know that I LOVE my music. And if you know me, you know that I LOVE the Spring. So I decided today that it's time to make another mix CD with all of my favorite "warm weather" songs in tribute to the BEAUTIFUL weather that we're having here in the ATL. I am so in love with all of the blossoming trees and the little green leaves starting to come out. It makes me SO happy, there's definitely something in that daily dose of sunshine that does a person good.
I have certain songs that when I hear them I think of the summertime, or warm weather, or driving with the windows down or something like that. Like when I hear the Gorillaz I think of last summer. When I hear certain 80's music it makes me think of a lot of my fun summers in Utah up in the mountains. I guess you could compare it to good road trip music too. There's something about it that makes life complete. Kind of like your soundtrack to life at that time. And that it will always be apart of that memory- or it will produce that memory for you each time you hear it.
So, since I want to make this CD I'd like some good music suggestions from YOU that remind you of the summer or just good times in general. That way you can be part of my little soundtrack of life for my 2007 Spring/Summer! What's your favorite warm weather song? 
Also pray for us that this beautiful weather holds up so that when our family that's never been here before comes to visit for the wedding it'll be nice! And also for the wedding day too!

Hm, it's funny that you wrote about this because I, too, was thinking about making a mix of good, lighthearted summer music today . . .
I'll probably think of songs throughout the next couple of days, and I'll continually post comments on here. For now, though, this is what I have come up with:
"Just like Heaven" -- The Cure
"Mint Car" -- The Cure
"Take Me Out" -- Franz Ferdinand
"Stand By Me" -- The Clash
"Know Your Onion!" -- The Shins
"Wraith Pinned to the Mist" -- Of Montreal
That's it for now. I think.
I loved spring back east! Sorry I'm not sure what songs to give you, but I'm so happy it's getting warmer here.... now back to my spring cleaning.
"Get Out The Map" by Indigo Girls for sure! Actually any upbeat song from the Indigo Girls makes me want to head out of town or just throw open my windows and doors and get down and dirty with the cleaning supplies!
