30-day song challenge - day 3 - a song that reminds you of summertime
I think that the perfect summer song should sound like a victory lap. It should have a sense of purpose, but no rush. It should be about the journey and not the destination. It should have desire, but not dissatisfaction. A recognition of the fleetingness of the moment, but not regret when it ends. A deliberate pace, but not laziness. And above all, it should sound effortless.
You know who does effortless? Who deserves victory laps around her victory laps?
Mariah Carey ft. Miguel - #Beautiful
The hashtag and the slightly unnecessary swears are the only thing that'll age poorly on this song. Miguel's voice dips and twirls Mariah's around the fuzzy, dreamy guitars. This is the musical equivalent of sitting around a bonfire and drinking reasonably-priced beer with your friends.
