Assignment 23- Gus Carlson

The perfect playlist for watching the summer sunset. This playlist is all about happiness. Summer nights are always a great reminder of our freedom in life, and that we should live in the moment. The music goes along with these themes. This is also timely, as summer is quickly approaching.

Beautiful Day- U2
 To start, we have a song that emphasizes the preciousness of the time we have. "It's a beautiful day; don't let it get away." exemplifies the idea of having fun on a summer night.
Jack and Diane- John Mellencamp
 Jack and Diane is an excellent song by John Mellencamp that embodies the thought of living in the moment, and living your life without a care. It makes me nostalgic for a time period in the 20th century that I didn't even live through.
Rhythm of Love- Plain White T's
 In Rhythm of Love, Plain White T's poured out the feelings of living for one night at a time, not caring what the future will hold, which is really the emotional message of the playlist.
Shut Up and Dance- WALK THE MOON
 Similar to Rhythm of Love, Shut Up and Dance is talking about just one night, one moment. The repeated attempts to look to the future and destiny are pushed back with "Shut up and dance with me." The quickness and lively nature of the song represent the excitement that a summer night with no limits can hold.
Born to Run- Bruce Springsteen
 The Boss's epic song Born to Run is the perfect cap to a playlist trying to symbolize freedom. The message is all about seeking freedom and making your own way for yourself. It is the perfect song to describe a hot night in the middle of the summer, and summarizes the playlist well.
