Found yourself in a new direction
Aeons far from the sun
Can you come?
Would they come to breach you?
Let you know you’re not the only one

Help me to make it.

My sister has been introducing me to so much great music lately. This is another song by a Danish band (represent holla whuttup) that is definitely worthy of a listen. Treefight For Sunlight’s “Facing the Sun” was named the number one summer hit in Denmark last year, and it has that warm and summery retro feel that I am so into. Also, they have named The Beach Boys as one of their inspirations, which is definitely evident in this song.

Tell me this song doesn’t just make you squeal with happiness.

Alright, I know this song is from 2009, but it is so happiness-inducing and catchy that I am willing to look past the newness-factor and put it on the list.

Now, everybody sing along:

Kids wanna BOP out in the street, fu-fu-fun all summer long,
Kids wanna BOP out in the street, fu-fu-fun all summer looooooong.

Bonus fact just for you: They are Danish. HUZZAH.

The first track on my ultimately awesome playlist is this classic from 1978. We have all heard it, and most of us had no idea what she was singing until we read the lyrics and then it all made sense. We knew it was something with “Heathcliff” and “Wuthering Heights” should be mentioned somewhere in there, but where and when was slightly unclear. We just knew we were hearing something beautiful.

Kate Bush was the first woman to have a self-penned number 1 song on the charts. You go, Kate Bush, you go. Here is “Wuthering Heights”.

Introducing… Sofie’s fantastically amazing Retro Playlist. Intrigued? You know you should be. This mix-tape is bound to give you a real swingin’ good time.

Alright, I am a pretty terrible salesperson.

The point of this playlist is pretty simple; I love retro music and retro-sounding music, and am constantly discovering new tunes that excites me so much that I have to share them with someone. I am of the firm believe that I can’t be the only person to feel like they should have been born in another decade, music-wise, and us oldies-but-goodies nerds need to stick together!

I will post a song when I find one and I would love to hear about songs in exchange. I will write an entry soon explaining when and how I feel in love with the good ol’ classics.
