With a few good 'night mixes' already posted in the Series, I decided to make my contribution in the form of a 'day mix'. This mix sounds like summer usually feels to me, and, ideally, provides a summer model that works on any scale: a day, the whole summer, or a whole lifetime. That model is:

  • Dawn
  • Hitting the road / traveling
  • Lunch
  • Afternoon delight / travel on
  • Returning home
  • Sleep

I tried not to make the songs adhere too literally to the model, and, above all, I just picked songs that I like listening to in the summer. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I do. Happy summer, folks!
