Outdoor Wonder is the theme for this today's playlist. I designed the last "Superheroes" playlist for the kids. This one's more for the grown-ups. The songs may merely mention the ocean, the sun, or the elements - or tell a story about being outdoors and or getting outdoors.
Why I picked these songs?
- Ordinary Miracle: I'm already a fan of Sarah McLachlan. Now this song reminds me of the vivid presentation at the Vancouver Winter Olympics opening ceremonies.
- Talk of the Town: Jack Johnson always inspires me to laze around outdoors. Ahh, the words to this one are awesome.
- Nothing I Can Do: Ben Taylor shares a tale about when the morning first meets the sun.
- What If I: Deccatree, an OC band, starts this song with thoughts looking out "over our ocean."
- Don't Stop Now: Crowded House starts this tune on a perfect day in the countryside turning stormy.
- I Can See Clearly Now: When I mentioned this playlist idea to Dara, she immediately named this song.
- Walk Into The Sun: Dirty Vegas sounds a lot like my favorite band (Crowded House). This is the first of 3 sun songs.
- Soak Up The Sun: It never fails. I always hear this Sheryl Crow song when I'm inside. I feel an immediate need to get outdoors. Plus, I like her Sesame Street version of the song.
- Island in the Sun: Weezer extolls the virtues of outdoor time on vacation.
- The Outdoor Type: The Lemonheads finish out the playlist making fun of the whole premise of being an outdoor type.
Hope this inspires much fun!
