Nothing soothes the soul better than the sun. Except maybe music. Combine the two and you’re onto a winner. I’ll set the scene…
It’s 5pm, the sun is lowering and there’s an orange glow on everything it touches. It’s still warm and it’s one of those days that seems to go on and on, in a very good way.
Now just take some time out to listen to the opening introductions of these songs and enjoy. Let them swallow you up and smother you. Headphones on, people!
