Bumper, Cults
Waking up early in the morning, watching the sunrise in the car on the way to the airport. This song captures the feeling of adventure and excitement - I first heard it in an episode of Everything I Know About Love, and I just know the main character felt the same way as I do when I listen to it.
Sea of Love, Cat Power
All in the title. Surrounded by family, and the sea. Listening to the lull of the waves, post-swim and caesar salad, ready to either get lost in the pages of my book or fall asleep. Nothing could make it better, really.
Starry Night, Peggy Gou
That unbeatable feeling of a fresh shower, looking at tan lines in the mirror, and begging my sister to borrow her dress for our meal tonight. Shouting to Dad across the balcony to pass the prosecco bottle. Drunk off happiness and bubbles before we even get to the restaurant.
Silver Soul, Beach House
I read an entire book in one day, and had this song on repeat while I did. I only put it down three times; once to swim, once to eat, and once to nap. The holy trio of holidaying.
Bunny, Tourist
On the flight home, soaking it all in. Going back to reality, but closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep in the clouds. In my mind I'm still in Tenerife, but in reality I'm in London Heathrow.
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want, The Dream Academy
The perfect song to play in your earphones as you're gallivanting the town's shops or galleries of a new place. Channel your inner Ferris Bueller.
Blue Sky and Yellow Sunflower, Susumu Yokata
The most underrated take-off and mid-flight song. The whimsical sonics pair well with being above the clouds- it feels like a fairytale.
