If you’re searching for a new summer soundtrack, look no further – we got you covered with some sounds to cool ya down and enjoy the hot season. 

Everyone’s summer looks different. Some people are traveling while others are scouting out the nearest concert or music festival. Even if you don’t have summer plans, having a playlist to listen to on the way to the grocery store or on a hot girl walk is important. If you don’t know what to listen to this summer (or are just looking for something new), I’ve curated a playlist of 95 songs to accompany whatever these next few months throw your way. I’ve highlighted just a few of my favorites, but I’ll probably be listening to all six and a half hours of these songs.

Sleep On The Floor by the Lumineers

A travel playlist wouldn’t be a travel playlist without The Lumineers– and more specifically, this song. Whether you’re sleeping on the floor or not, you’ll feel ready to book another flight or plan another road trip before you’re even back home.

Follow Rivers by Lykke li

This song was always on in the car when I was growing up, which is one of the reasons I love having it on when I travel now. Even if the song doesn’t bring back waves of nostalgia for you, it’s still a timeless road trip tune that will (in my opinion) continue to stand the test of time.

Pool House by the backseat lovers

If you’ve been on the internet at all over the past few years, you’ve likely heard Kilby Girl by The Backseat Lovers. The band’s talent extends beyond their viral hit, though. They’ve gained a loyal following, and for good reason. Not only are they phenomenal live, but they also make music that makes the perfect soundtrack to any type of summer.
