A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill by Jens Lekman

This song just sounds like a Scandinavian summer night, sitting outside in a field with your friends, drinking beers and laughing. I love that the artist brought his friends into the studio to give it the right ambiance.

Slow Hands by Interpol

This song is an amazing, high-octane song that I'd love to dance to live.. Like at one of the hundreds of summer festivals?

Between the Bars by Madeleine Peyroux

It's evocative of sitting on a stone terrace somewhere, with gorgeous red wine in a carafe, and enjoying the last bit of the sunset.
