SaillingChristopher Cross
A song that gives me a bittersweet feeling like the end of summer is Christopher Cross’s “Sailing.” Released as a single in 1979, it hit No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a massive success, winning the Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Arrangement.
The soft, refreshing electric guitar arpeggios combined with Christopher’s sweet vocals create a unique sound that’s both wistful and romantic.
The lyrics inviting you to set sail evoke images of yachts and the sea, making it perfect for summer.
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
A timeless classic you can’t leave out when talking about disco music: “September.” It’s one of the signature songs by the funk band Earth, Wind & Fire.
The sparkling brass section and soaring vocals evoke a clear, refreshing autumn sky.
Although the title “September” refers to the ninth month, the song is actually about someone in December who can’t forget the person they met in September.
You’d naturally assume it’s a song about September, right? Either way, it’s a light, irresistible track that makes you want to start dancing!
WinelightGrover Washington Jr.
Smooth jazz, a music genre derived from fusion.
It’s a style rooted in jazz, characterized by sweet melodies and arrangements that are relatively easy for anyone to listen to.
And the artist known as the “father of smooth jazz” is Grover Washington Jr.
He was a saxophone player who debuted in 1981 and remained at the forefront until his passing in 1999.
The track Winelight could be described as a smooth jazz number that retains a strong fusion flavor.
The saxophone is outstanding, of course, but the wah and slap bass and the funky guitar also make this song especially appealing.
A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton
A beautifully clear piano intro.
So striking that it sticks in your ears after just one listen, this is A Thousand Miles, released in 2001.

Truly great songs never fade with time.
Surfin’ USAThe Beach Boys
The Beach Boys, the pioneers of male vocal groups like the Backstreet Boys and One Direction.
“Surfin’ U.S.A.” is a classic of surf rock that evokes California’s sunny skies and vast ocean, and it’s also the song that made them break through.
It’s been played in all kinds of media around the world, so even after all these years since its release, it’s one of those timeless hits that everyone has heard.
