SUMMER NIGHTS

percy jackson― summer nights. daughter of stars.

quiet summer nights, at camp with your best friends. sitting off the dock at the beach, watching the water ripple as percy chucked rocks in. annabeth pushing you off into the water and you resurfacing with a smile and laughter.

flowers in the rain, running around through the blooming strawberry fields with grover and nature nymphs. percy picking a flower and sliding it behind your ear while you smiled and laughed.

he wished on all the stars, that it'd stay the same. he'd come back every year to see you all happy with annabeth, grover, thalia, luke, all of them.

he kept them in his heart, the tiny fragile pieces of your love. when he first met you that summer night he was claimed, you told him you weren't afraid and that the stars would guide him. that summer night you told him how you felt about him, that you loved him. that summer night he told you how he felt about you, that he loved you too.

you once found it kind of strange, how everything could change and fade away. but now, percy looked up at the distant sky, remembering all those quiet summer nights the two of you shared.

starlight in your eyes. they were beautiful and bright.

he thought of how your worlds must have appeared so close.

that summer night, if he could try again. he'd save you from that star who came down from the heavens themselves and took you. took you soaring through the cosmos.

"hey." annabeth greeted, standing beside where percy sat. he was gazing up at the stars while she looked down at him, both of them filled with nothing but sadness.

"can we sit here for awhile? just for a little bit." she asked, lowering herself beside him, her legs hanging off the edge of the dock, hovering above the water.

"this is kind of nice. don't you think?"

summer memories, my photo, August '23

"August evenings are especially stricken with melancholy - as if the ghosts of all past summers came rushing to haunt my heart."

Nice display of noctilucent clouds last night. I will never get tired of watching these ghost-like clouds that dances across the night sky.

The songs for your next night time drive

One of my favorite things I did when I had nothing in particular going on was to go on night drives with my friends. A quick text on the group chat: “Who’s free rn to drive?” and the floods of texts would pop up

“Yes.”

“Downn.”

“Pick me up.”

I’d go get them and we’d go on various routes round our town; sometimes we’d drive over 30 minutes away from where we lived doing nothing but roll down the windows and listen to music as we made our way on the highways and the backroads. I highly recommend doing this as a form of therapy if you can. I also highly recommend listening to the songs I’ve put together for you to listen to or blast when you’re on your drive.

The Color Violet - Tory Lanez

This song meshes 80’s synth-pop and is meshed with modern-day R&B, which creates a very fresh, but nostalgic vibe. The song is upbeat, but almost complexed by an emotional aspect to the way the lyrics and music twist this tune. 

Location - Playboi Carti

I have to say that Playboi Carti’s entire debut album is such a great album to listen to on a nightdrive, but if I were to lock in on one single song, it would have to be this one. The melodious music with saxophone and calm drums creates an aesthetic rap feeling. The lyrics are not the main attraction of this song– or album in general– it’s more of the relaxed music in the background that creates a confident and nonchalant aesthetic to his songs. I would definitely listen to this song on full volume with my windows down and enjoy the music. 

Everyday - Ariana Grande

This song is kind of different from the other songs in the list because it doesn’t have the mystery and night time aspect that the other ones do. However, if you feel like screaming to Ariana and Future, this song is for you. Ariana Grande meshes R&B and pop into this song with amazing and loud vocals. Future comes in clutch with his great musical chemistry with Ariana’s lyrics. It’s something I listen to when I’m in a slump and kind of need to get a dance out. I highly recommend it. 

I Smoked Away my Brain - A$AP Rocky, Imogen Heap, Clams Casino

This song is one of the most ethereal songs I have heard in a long time. A$AP Rocky has been one of my favorite artists for a good amount of time, but a lot of his music I listen to in the background because I find it to be very calm and relaxed, but thins song, while being calm and relaxed, has a great sample from the song I’m God by Clams Casino which is a very mystical sound, kind of meshes with the nighttime. It’s very mysterious, but also sounds very free. A$AP Rocky originally released his song Demons, which covers the lyrical parts of this song, but some musical genius on the internet edited these two songs together, making it catch instant fame for a very good reason. This song sounds very magical and it's definitely something to elevate your night time drive experience. 

The Way Life Goes - Lil Uzi Vert, Oh Wonder

This song is one of my particular favorites by Lil Uzi Vert because of his melodic approach by featuring Oh Wonder’s song, Landslide. This made his music and lyrics sound more nostalgic, something I assume I’d listen to with the windows down when I’m reminiscing my past mistakes but knowing that time is the ultimate healer. I really appreciated Lil Uzi Vert’s versatility in taking up a kind of melodic approach to rap, which I feel like really makes listening to it feel more vibrant and different. This song makes me feel hopeful of the future and it hits even harder when I’m blasting this and singing it with my best friends.

I mainly chose these songs because they all fit the aesthetics of the night and the magical and mysterious feelings it cultivates, which I feel like the songs I chose replicate the feelings with their instrumentals and their lyrics. The next time you decide to go on a drive with yourself or your friend, add some of these songs to your cue!
