Description

One Summer Day voiced by women

• Summertime, The Sundays. This song just sounds like how you'd wake up at a quarter to noon on a summer weekend day. The sound is bright and optimistic, cutting against the lyrics.
• Casa Abondonada, Julieta Venegas. A wonderful song to blast out as you make your rounds driving around in the afternoon.
• Wandering Star, Portishead. Many Portishead songs can be a soundtrack to a summer evening, but this song feels ideally suited to it. It turns any space at night into a swanky lounge.
• You Look So Fine, Garbage. This track is like having the credits roll. I imagine it back when the piers and beaches were open all night. The chill of the ocean night breeze as the conversations wind down and it's time to head home.
