27. Peaceful Easy Feeling- The Eagles

The summertime is full of wonderful sensual experiences. Hot tarmac crackling under bike tyres. The smell of BBQ’s. The smell of freshly cut grass. Deep blue skies. Summer evenings listening to wood pigeons and watching sunsets. Sitting on the steps outside our house eating breakfast. Walking around barefoot. Lying on the beach listening to waves lapping the shore. These experiences need the right kind of music attached to them. Jack Johnson is the most recent addition to perfect summer music but this song by the Eagles captures it all so well. Peaceful easy feelings are hard to come by, a whole song that induces them is fairly brilliant.
