Here comes the sun...

So, in lieu of this weekend's bright forecast (hope I don't jinx it), I went into my iTunes Library (it's just my library at work, so there's not too much to work with), and searched for the word 'Sun.' Here are some of the songs that came up:

+Sun Giant, Fleet Foxes

+A Sunday Smile, Beirut

+These Days Nothing But Sunshine, The Clientele

+Sunshine Barato, Mosquitos

+Sunrise, Yeasayer

I am sooo looking forward to warmer weather, and these songs add a nice soundtrack to that feeling.

(If you also do a library search for 'sun,' I'd love to know what comes up!)

Off the top of my head:

Here comes the Sun and Hello, Sunshine (Super Furry Animals version). For some reason I love that song and it's not catchy or super cool or anything. Just good.
