And on the theme of Songs of Summer, a personal choice:

Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You

When I think of sounds of summer, this is always where my brain goes first. Absolutely the soundtrack to my first summer after leaving school. That first taste of freedom, first taste of adulthood. It was just all over the place. Remember the radio DJs had it on white label before anyone really knew it was Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk). Just takes me right back to 98, every time.

My favourite summer song - a great original and an even better cover:

"Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home..."

Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RUIeX6UCT8

"All summer places where
You could taste the country air
Racing our shadows we'd fly
Down through the narrow lanes
Chasing the slow trains
The last of an age going by"

Huw Williams - The Summer Before The War (Live At The Woodman Folk Club, 2023) - Fairport Convention cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eDb-bC1qsM
