Just thinking about summer brings a smile to my face. And one of my favorite parts of summer is the great music that makes its way into our speakers every year. With all the concerts and festivals come old favorites, and new artists that sprout little seedlings of soon-to-be full bloomed hits pulsing through our earbuds. Summer songs seem to bring us back to our youth, no matter our age.
