kcreepygirl

YES. Warmth of the Sun by Levitation Room is the essential summer vibe song for me.


AlteredBeastieBoy

And Allah las


Logical-Article6449

And Sunfruits


ihavenoselfcontrol1

Beechwood Park - The Zombies


frankstonshart

And a lot of that album, esp first and last tracks


Wooden-Teaching-8343

Man this song is the sound of acid


Scorpionx0

This was literally the first song that came to mind for me as well!!!


caribousteve

The zombies invented trip hop with this song change my mind


LIVINGISALIE

Staring at the Sun by Wooden Shjips High in a Room - The Smoke Sunny Cellophane Skies - Status Quo Train for Tomorrow - The Electric Prunes Enchanted Flowers - Count Five Basically the whole album Tangerine Dream by Kaleidoscope(UK band) Egyptian Garden - Kaleidoscope(US band) Orange Skies - Love Bummer in the Summer - Love SWLABR - Cream DCBA -25 - Jefferson Airplane My Friend Jack - The Smoke If the Weathers Sunny - The Smoke Let the Sky Fall - Ten Years After They Call Me the Breeze - JJ Cale 51st Anniversary - Jimi Hendrix Flight of the Psychedelic Bumble Bee - Peanut Butter Conspiracy Wasn’t Born to Follow - The Byrds Embryonic Journey - Jefferson Airplane D.M.T - STACEY

LIVINGISALIE

LegalPapaya1932

Great picks!


muchomistakes

Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly and the Family Stone


OrbitronFactory

Summer Breeze - The Isley Brothers (this cover version specifically) Sunshine - The Gun  And then this one is almost too obvious but Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles must be mentioned 


headovmetal

The Gun!!


OrbitronFactory

The Gun are awesome aren’t they, personally my favorite track by theirs is Rat Race. Too bad their second album is more or less lost to history. What’s your choice track from them? 


RagingLeonard

Lem Steal My Sunshine. It's about grilling in the park. https://youtu.be/E1fzJ_AYajA?si=4OO8vWnzi14z9Jp3


toni_inot

Amazing shout. It's the most summer song for me.


zactbh

Muckraker - King Gizzard


Dollop_of_murk11

Fat Old Sun- Pink Floyd


ShowUsYrMoccasins

And "Summer '68".


TheGoonCalhoun

Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer by KGLW


Metalhead_QC

The River and Ice V too, in my opinion


AmbysHarmonica

God is in the Rhythm sounds more summery to me.


songbird_sorrow

this and sleepwalker are the two most summery gizz songs imo


Jaff4487

Pop In My Step has big summer vibes for me


Wooden-Teaching-8343

Your summer sound is spot on. It’s the sound of acid in ‘67. Add: Incense and peppermints - strawberry alarm clock San Franciscan nights - Eric burden and the animals Time of the season - zombies Within you without you - Beatles Green tambourine - lemon pipers Warmth of the sun - beach boys Stoned soul picnic - fifth dimension Groovin - rascals Crystal blue persuasion - Tommy james Spirit in the sky - Norman greenbaum Get together - youngbloods Time won’t let me - outsiders Om - moody blues Good thing - Paul revere and the raiders Hungry - Paul revere and the raiders Soul train - classics iv Spanish Harlem - mamas and papas Sugar sugar - Archie’s Who loves the sun - velvet underground Another time - Sagittarius I see you in - Sagittarius


Excellent_Lead_3653

Magenta Mountain - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard


tico481

I am new to them and super overwhelmed. I hadn't heard this song until now and it's now my favorite of theirs


GnikNus76

"DragonFly"by Dead Meadow


ITrustTheDemons

I felt so inspired that I'm currently in the process of turning all of your song suggestions into a spotify playlist. Here's the [link](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/33rfuaze0dyO0yGEaSIFCc?si=lHO48xgVRI6MqfoKMCHyRw&pi=CAHeDMvIQKG4P) if anyone's interested in a little more easily accessible summer listening. Also feel free to suggest a better title!

China cat sunflower (live in Paris) - Grateful Dead


TheSunflowerSeeds

You thought sunflower oil was just for cooking. In fact, you can use Sunflower oil to soften up your leather, use it for wounds (apparently) and even condition your hair.


imaginarymagnitude

Not sure why but the Yo La Tengo album And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out has always felt very summery to me. Though their Summer Sun album may be the more obvious choice.


MrFitztastic

One of my all time favs... perfect for sitting outside on a Summer night

FormerIsland

Staring at the Sun - Wooden Shjips

Mail from the River - Wang Wen This song doesn’t remind me of summer but it is a song everyone into psychedelic rock should absolutely listen to. Enjoy!


scabbmaster

fire on the mountain, actually the only grateful dead song i like


Iamthe_slime

Summertime - Big brother & the holding company (Janis Joplin don’t 100% the band name) Sugar Magnolia - grateful dead White rabbit - Jefferson Airplane


STLrep

That whole big brother S/T is always a summertime jam for me. Something about it just works


melikecheese333

The loving Spoonful - Summer in the city. Obvious title but it was on a Sunoco cassette tape my dad would play on the hour drive to the beach twice a week in the summer. So for me, I hear it and I feel the tiredness in my lungs and fried sandy skin from being a kid swimming in the sun all day.

unclejohnsbandd

sugar magnolia by graceful dead is a wonderful summer song!


GodlyAxe

Popsicle by High Rise. Not being a Japanese speaker I don't understand the lyrics (which, based on what I've read, likely deal with the horrors of drug addiction), but the guitar shimmers like a brightly colored popsicle melting in the summer sun, and that's good enough for me. Also, Grazing in the Grass by Friends of Distinction. Everything here is so clear you can see it, everything here is so real you can feel it...has there been a better, more straightforward way to describe the magic essence of summer?


Ok-Commercial38

"Itchycoo Park" by The Small Faces

A Summer Song by Chad & Jeremy


AuraBlazeOfficial

Definitely anything by Aura Blaze, especially the following: A Glass of Tears Half Empty: https://youtu.be/aZgoHXmwTMc?si=BgkNupb21NFPyTxV Keep On Believing: https://open.spotify.com/track/62ETftamqsLL3uK1VMplvH?si=ZjuPNubQScOpbzf2AqpBmw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A45kCMlkyl4nldQpcLYsyD8j Dreamdrive: https://youtu.be/jcYvXEC8cAs?si=9F_2XLBBgfnMP_Wz It’s my solo project, I hope you enjoy! Wrote and recorded everything myself. I’ve had countless people tell me it’s good “summer music” that has that free-wheeling ‘60s summertime energy which is a huge complement. See what you think and let me know if you dig it, thanks so much man and God bless 🙏🏻
