Spring break provides plenty of free time to do as you please. Whether it is going out of town or making the best of staying at home. Below are some music choices to help get you out of the late-winter gloom.

“Sweet Tides” by Thievery Corporation (2008)

Even though Thievery Corporation is best known for their cooler electronic music; this smooth and catchy song emanates the kind of warmth that brings to mind sunny days and laid-back moods. One of my favorite driving songs, this is a track that will keep you warm and put a smile on your face all the way into the summer.

“Marrakech” by ATB (2004)

An oldie from the 2000's dance era, this track from German DJ André Tanneberger, better known as ATB, is a vibrant and hot number. A fast song that runs parallel to the hearts out on a journey. This song will conjure up images of desert walkabouts and blue skies and will make you want to get into a car and head west.

Edgy, dangerous and endlessly repeatable. This guitar and drum-heavy track will make you dance in your seat with no shame. Even as a song about late-night parties with bad people we can’t get enough of, this ferocious track will having you howling at the moon and making the most out of staying up late and going nowhere.

Trademark (Instrumental)” by Eric Johnson (1989)

A guitar instrumental that never gets old. This oldie is a perfect addition to any 80's playlist and will get you longing for longer evenings and killer sunsets. A cool and nostalgic track that showcases how awesome a guitar solo can be. 'Trademark' will make long car trips staring out the window, even more special.
