A perfect love song for summer—and one I’d also like to recommend as a motivational anthem—is “Roll With It.” It’s a track released by British rock musician Steve Winwood.

This version is arranged symphonically, giving it a more brooding atmosphere.

The lyrics, which depict the delicate love of a man who falls for a prostitute, match the mood of the music perfectly—be sure to check it out.
