This is a playlist for all of those who are melting at the moment, we hear your sweaty cries and thought we’d soundtrack them with a chorus of tunes that will hopefully sum up you summer days nicely.
Albatross – Fleetwood Mac
This isn’t just any playlist, this is a Rodeo playlist. Let us soundtrack your sunburn like aloe vera straight from the fridge. Sit back and relax, you’re in safe hands with us.
Don’t Look Back Into The Sun – The Libertines
If you look into the sun when it’s this ‘ot you deserve everything that happens to you from then on. Lie down, stick a block of ice on your fod and relax you weirdo.
This Is Your Life – The Killers
This the world that we live in, but it ain’t the UK we’re used to living in. It’s too fucking hot, but here’s an upbeat tune to stop you overheating.
New Song – Warpaint
Sounds like strawberries and cream. Dance along and spray yourself with the hosepipe. You might just survive.
Who Loves The Sun – The Velvet Underground
Brush the sunstroke off and scratch those tingling shoulders, not everyone enjoys the sun.
The Git Up – Blanco Brown
Now it’s time for a break. The sun is dangerous if you stay in it too long, so why not go inside, cool off, have one of those lollies you bought ages ago which have become part of the wall of the freezer, relax and watch this… the country cha cha slide.
Lisbon – Wolf Alice
It feels like Lisbon. It’s probably hotter than Lisbon right now. Lisbon has got nothing on our heatwave. Nothing at all.
Salted Caramel Ice Cream- Metronomy
This is for those annoying people in parks who carry speakers with them on full volume. Scum.
Perfect Places – Lorde
The UK in this heat is far from a perfect place. It’s actually fuckin’ unbearable. But Lorde will take you to a perfect place, but Lorde is Lorde.
Sweet Dreams, TN – The Last Shadow Puppets
Kinda like supping on some sweet nectar in a can as the sun goes down, sad, happy, hot, and sweaty. Glory days.
Perfect Day- Lou Reed
I mean, there’s no 3 mins and 45 seconds that encapsulate the sadness of finishing a day you’ll remember for the rest of your life. The sun tends to bring those.
