April Playlist

Spring is in full swing, which means it’s time for road trips and carefree adventures. Here’s a few songs to add to your playlist that will get you excited for the long days and short nights to come:   

April – Beach Bunny 

Romanticizing past relationships and missing the feeling of being wanted by someone in the same way you want them is all too relatable. 

Head in the Clouds – Hot Flash Heat Wave

This track from the surf-pop band Hot Flash Heat Wave makes you want to lay out in the sun and forget about the world. The dreamy vocals and hypnotic beat provide the perfect contrast to the low-spirited lyrics. 

April 29, 1992 (Miami) – Sublime

Sublime recounts the Los Angeles riots and havoc that ensued after the Rodney King trial. 

April – Jakob

The lyrics – “Sometimes I’m all alone / Even when you hold my hand” – capture the feeling of being lonely, even when you have someone who cares about you. 

When You Were Made – The Growlers 

Seeing your parents fall out of love can be difficult, but The Growlers create beauty out of a depressing situation. 

Dear April (Side A-Acoustic) – Frank Ocean 

Knowing that your relationship with someone will never be the same can hurt in indescribable ways, but reminiscing on what you once had can be cathartic. 

Judas – Lady GaGa

Of course the Aries queen herself needed to be included.

April – kinshii

Chasing the high you got from your first love can feel like an impossible challenge. 

Train – Brick + Mortar 

The chorus – “I wanna take the train with you / I wanna run away with you” – encapsulates the impulsive feeling of wanting to run away with someone who everyone thinks is wrong for you. 

April Fool – The Paper Cutouts

Being led on by someone who you’re in love with can leave you feeling used, but sometimes you just can’t help think that one day they’ll change their mind.
