Sit back, relax and enjoy the best songs summer has to offer

We all have that one song that will forever remind us of the blissfully sunny days of summers past. Unfortunately, as one reader pointed out, this song seems to be most fitting for Vancouver these days.

 

Kidding! (Sort of.) But, since the rainy days just seem to keep on coming in Vancouver, why not escape with this sweet summer playlist?

We took to the streets (and Twitter) to ask Vancouverites what one song, new or old, would always bring back memories of summer. The result is a diverse mix perfect for your next summer road trip. Enjoy!
