We are all thinking of summer. Come on, you know you are. With all of the negativity going on in the world, nothing sounds better than swimming in a lake, eating at a local restaurant, or hanging out at a nearby beach. Fortunately, summertime has always been a part of America. Through song, several talented musicians remind us of summertime.

In no particular order, Here Are Five Epic Songs To Launch Your Summer:

Bryan Adams: The Summer Of ’69

Fun times. Lost love. Bryan Adams takes on a journey on an old “six-string” where he talks about the need to “unwind” and how summer became the “best days of my life.”

Little Big Town: Pontoon

Cruising slowly down a river while sipping a beer? Where do I sign up? That sounds like a perfect summer day.

Kid Rock: All Summer Long

Jamming to “Sweet Home Alabama,” Kid Rock decided to take us on a summer adventure in Northern Michigan with campfires, splashing, and “trying different things.”

Don Henley: The Boys Of Summer

Don Henley brings us down the road of nostalgia and unrequited love where “summer is out of reach.” With its jamming music and powerful lyrics, we all remember that one summer from long ago.

Chicago: Saturday In The Park

Was it the Fourth of July? Or was it just a fun Saturday where people were hanging out and singing?
