Hola!!! So I don't know about the rest of the world, but the sun recently came to visit England, and it made me very happy. There's nothing like a cheeky little visit to the garden centre when you're hit by the first ray of sun! So I thought that I would share with you the current summer soundtrack I am creating to accompany on my happy endevours throughout the season, it is a work in progress, so hopefully you will enjoy what you hear and you can share with me your summer soundtrack too :) Sit yourself in a flowerbed, by the sea or on a high roof, and wack these babies on ...
WHITE WINTER HYMNAL - FLEET FOXES

MR. SUN - KINA GRANNIS
Last year everytime I had been out beneath the golden glow of the sky, I used to listen to this on my walk home, it is definately one for saying nighty night to Mr. sun and hey hey to Mr. moon! http://www.kinagrannis.com/shows/ Don't worry other countries I have a nice old source suggesting she is soon to venture out of the states! Yaaaaay
JOANNA - LITTLE COMETS
Also thanks to itunes free download of the week! This is well catchy so beware!! I like the journey this song goes one :) http://www.myspace.com/littlecometsmusic/shows (Also, yay for you if your called Joanna)
IN YOUR ARMS - KINA GRANNIS
The combined use of , "Hush now let's go quiet to the park" accompanied with a xylophone, is enough for me. http://www.kinagrannis.com/shows/
IF I HAD A BOAT - JAMES VINCENT McMORROW
If your going to have one song on your ipod this summer, it should be this one. Thank you itunes free download, yet again! One of my new fav songies xoxoxo http://www.jamesvmcmorrow.com/tour_dates/

DAFFODILS - CHARLENE SORAIA
My brother introduced me to this song a few years ago and it is magnificent it is actually like a field of daffodils has blossomed on my ear drums. (Also she reminds me of a fairy, which is always helpful) http://charlenesoraia.com/#/music/ I passionately want to see her in the livey.
ALWAYS LIKE THIS - BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB
I have to thank Gabrielle Aplin & Luke Denning for their super duper cover of this as that is how I was introduced to this piece of sonic beauty. I recommend this song to play for jumping out of bed in the morning, ripping wide the curtains and smiling at the world. http://www.crowdsurge.com/bombaybicycleclub/
AFTER THE STORM - MUMFORD & SONS
I couldn't find an official video but this one is well cute :) I love this song especially because I feel it is about hope and whatsmore I always find putting flowers in my hair fun. http://www.mumfordandsons.com/live
