The Song That Defined Your Summer
A Personal Take on the Season’s Soundtrack
In a recent edition of The Amplifier newsletter, Lindsay Zoladz shared her picks for this year’s Song of the Summer, including seasonal smashes like Sabrina Carpenter’s "Espresso," Shaboozey’s "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," and Kendrick Lamar’s "Not Like Us." These songs are undeniably catchy and have become synonymous with the carefree vibes of summer. However, the song that truly defined your summer doesn’t have to be a contemporary hit.
Rediscovering Old Favorites
Maybe it was an old song you discovered or rediscovered that captured an experience you were going through. Perhaps it was a song that transported you back to a specific moment or memory, evoking feelings of nostalgia and warmth. The summer season is often associated with a sense of freedom and adventure, and the right song can perfectly capture that essence.
New Discoveries
On the other hand, maybe it was a newer song that didn’t quite make it to the top of the charts but still resonated with you. These hidden gems can often be just as impactful as the most popular songs, providing a unique soundtrack for your summer experiences. Whether it’s a song that you stumbled upon while exploring a new genre or a discovery made through a friend’s recommendation, these new finds can add a fresh layer of excitement to your summer.
Timeless Classics
And then there are the familiar classics that never go out of style. These songs have been a staple of summer playlists for decades, providing a sense of continuity and comfort. Whether it’s a beachy tune, a laid-back jam, or a feel-good anthem, these classics can evoke a sense of nostalgia and provide a perfect soundtrack for your summer adventures.
