Hi,

I’m planning my next motorcycle trip this summer through the Baltic States, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and back to Poland. It’s a kind of test ride before next year’s madness, something on the scale of Long Way Round (if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it! 😉).

And here are three tracks that get me in the perfect summer & road trip mood:

• Steppenwolf – Born to Be Wild
• AC/DC – Highway to Hell
• Eagles – Take It Easy

PS:
If anyone from these countries wants to meet up in August feel free to let me know! Or maybe you have some great places or roads to recommend?

The combination of those tow words, Summer time with music direct my mind in a sec to Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald - Summertime and while looked up for the link to add it here, found also few new great covers like Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald (cover by Natalie King) and  Lana Del Rey - Summertime 

Enjoy

Summer vibes are a category on their own. My choice would be of course a lot of afropop like Tem´s Love me JeJe.

Music is Brasil, of course a list needs to have a brasilian summer song, Praia do Futuro is my top pick.

If you have been to any summer party this year, the following song is always there NUEVAYoL

[Theodore_x86]

Starting with the basics:

summer vibes from my playlist (youtube Music)

• SCANDAL - Taiyou Scandalous (youtube) 
  
  • A vibrant summer anthem about youth, raw emotion, and the desire to break free from predictability and be truly seen.
• natori - propose (youtube)
  • A timid, emotional love story marked by fear, longing, introspection, and poetic resignation wrapped in quiet desperation.
• MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - CAN'T HOLD US FEAT. RAY DALTON (youtube)
  • An explosive anthem of ambition and authenticity, celebrating independence, community, and unstoppable passion with contagious energy.
• QUEVEDO || BZRP Music Sessions #52 (youtube)
  
  • Quevedo turns a fleeting night into an emotional plea, blending rhythm, desire, and vulnerability within a bittersweet, catchy narrative.

Have a great summer, everyone!

[MaximilianoML]

I went to Brazil 3 weeks ago, more specifically to Rio Grande do Sul — and that means cold winters and hot summers! But I left Portugal when it was just the beginning of summer, so I only got a few days of warmth before cold winds and sweaty t-shirts again. So, I’m going to break the chain of “Summer Musics” and bring the “Winter Musics” directly from my home state!

Have you ever played Red Dead Redemption 2? If yes, take that music style and bring it to reality — that’s how most of us live here!

Here you go with the musics:
