For the past 4 weeks we had absolutely great weather. Not too warm, not too cold, just perfect. When we arrived the temperature was around 17 degrees and that slowly rised till around 21/22 degrees in the past couple of days. But what we did not have for the past 4 weeks, was rain. Untill yesterday, then there were just some drops. Today there is as bit more, but it is still not that much. It’s just a drizzle.
At first I was thinking of doing a list with songs about rain, but then I realized I already have done that. So instead I’m flipping it around. Without rain we would not appreciate the sun or sunshine. So I did some staring in the rain and thinking and a lot of sun themed songs popped up. Also a nice opportunity to share some more Orb tracks/remixes since there are quite a few. So here are the songs I came up with, enjoy!
10. Pink Floyd – Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
9. The Orb Feat. David Gilmour – Hymns To The Sun
8. Primal Scream – Higher Than The Sun (Higher Than The Orb Entended Mix)
7. Bill Withers – Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone
Not the happiest song, but the man has a good point. And what a voice.
6. Katrina And The Waves – Walking On Sunshine
Instant happiness.
5. The Orb – Tripping on Sunshine (Live Mix)
4. Wendy & Lisa – Staring At The Sun (Youth & The Orb Remix)
Guess you did not know this one? They had more succes with Waterfall or Lolly Lolly.
3. Laid Back – Sunshine Reggae
More instant happiness.
2. Jason Mraz – Sunshine Song
Such an amazing artist. Looking forward to his new album which releases on June 23rd.
1. Bob Marley vs Funkstar Deluxe – Sun is shining
This track has been remixed many many times, but this one is my favorite remix. You cannot be grumpy when listening to this.
Bonus: Pizzaman – Trippin On Sunshine
While looking up the Youtube links this one was suggested. Shame I did not think of this was initially, so therefore I’m adding it as a bonus.
Lets “the Sunshine” uit de musical Hair is ook een geweldig nummer.
