I’m not the perfect wife and mother you want me to be!”

Tim McGrawTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Tim McGraw

This is the landmark debut single by Taylor Swift, who has gone beyond the boundaries of country music and continues to dominate the scene as one of today’s best-selling pop stars! When it was released in 2006, Taylor was just 16, which really shows how precocious her talent was.

If you only know the Taylor who later moved closer to mainstream pop, you might find the warm, distinctly country sound here refreshingly new.

The title refers to Tim McGraw, one of the defining singers in American country music since the 1990s, and it was the favorite music of the person she broke up with.

As you reminisce about those joyful summer days now gone, why not let this song play in the background and send your thoughts to that unforgettable someone who still means so much?

San Francisco5 Seconds of Summer

San Francisco

After making a name for themselves as YouTubers, the Australian pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer made a professional debut and went on to gain worldwide popularity.

They’re very much a bona fide rock band, but since they share the same management as One Direction, they also enjoy idol-like popularity.

Alvvays – Already Gone (Audio)

You won’t want to miss Already Gone, with its enchanting, addictive sound.

From the water-whistle-like tones to Molly Rankin’s crystal-clear vocals, there’s so much to savor.

Above all, pay attention to the lyrics.

They depict an end-of-summer episode through layered metaphors.

There are many interpretations out there, but I hope you’ll first listen and see what you make of it yourself.
