The Girl from Ipanema

I love this song. When I was little i used to drive around in my granfathers big car, in the middle of the winter with the heat up,  or in the middle of the summer with the windows down. I would hum the lyrics and tap my little feet. For years I forgot all about this song, then by chance I heard it on the radio again a few days ago and its been in my head since. Such a beautiful song. 

It makes me crave sunsets on the porch, sexy slow dances, sipping sweet cool drinks and late night swims, things you'd imagine the girl from Ipanema would be doing. 

So what song do you love, believe is the soundtrack to your life? or at least a few season? What song do you believe perfectly describes your mood? I need a few new songs for my library so give me some good suggestions! 


Oh and if you've never the song, or  if you want to here again heres a link:

  2. I've thought about that alot, but I can never seem to decide on one song in particular.
    I've come to the conclusion that the early Bob Dylan is the best soundtrack for road trips. So if you're planning to travel, get some Bob and bring him along.

  6. i really like the way you describe the song here. and your coffee mug stained header! how did i not notice that before?! hmm, songs... pretty much any song by the lucksmiths (they're from our home suburb), but at the moment i'm listening to broken bells and angus & julia stone.
