Song for a sunny afternoon

by **Doreen L.** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 7:35 pm

Picture fair skies, about 75 degrees, cruising sailboats (bigger than the ones on my video) going up the river, medium winds. I'm drawing a blank for music (or I've used the song already). I'm thinking along the lines of Maroon 5's 'Sunday Morning' which I may use. I need two songs with that kind of feel to it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Lovely Day - Bill Withers
Free - Donanvon Frankenreiter
Think of Tomorrow - Chris Issak
Beautiful Sunday - Daniel Boone
Sail On Sailor - Beach Boys
The sun and the wind - Gene Mitchell
Everybody Wants to Be Jimmy Buffett - Eric Stone
Lag Nom Ai - Jimmy Buffett
Pascagoula Run- Jimmy Buffett
(i could go on with all the Buffett suggestions but I'm sure you've considered him already)

Call me the Breeze by JJ Cale
Sea of no cares by Great Big Sea (one of my favourite Bands) A lot of old celtic tunes. They've got a lot of stuff I think would fit for a sunny afternoon.

'Summer Breeze' - Seals and Crofts
and I know you already have used Loggins and Messina 'Watching the River Run', almost anything from the Full Sail album is great. Steve Miller - most anything from the Fly Like An Eagle album; 'You Send Me', 'Fly Like an Eagle', 'Rock N' Me'...

The Rascals - 'It's A Beautiful Morning' - one of my all time favorites.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I love these tunes

"Good to be Free" by Swan Dive. A soft dreamy song with great lyrics. You can listen to a sound bite here http://www.swandive.org/music.shtml and get it on iTunes.

Hey guys, thanks for all the ideas. Time to visit itunes.

Chuck, I love those songs too. I just used 'Summer Breeze' for my last video and I have the 'Full Sail' album up in the attic.

Probably not your usual style "Drifting Away" by Faithless.

Chris, I think we need the Sunny Afternoon first though... :cry:

Paul

To my mind that's got a real flowing feel. Perhaps I've got it all wrong..... :oops:

I was refering to all the wet weather we have had here in the UK. What a summer... the wettest May, June and July on record. Not sure about a "flowing feel" more like a "floating feel"... :-D

Ahhh yes - Summer - That was in April wasn't it?

I just listened to Paul Desmond's "Take Ten". It would be a great choice.
