Have you seen the movie Hearts Beat Loud yet? It just came out this summer, and it's not only a delightful watch, but it also has a fantastic soundtrack that you will want to listen to long after the movie is over. Keegan DeWitt of the band Wild Cub wrote the music, and fans of his will not be disappointed. Kiersey Clemmons' vocals are top notch and blend perfectly with DeWitt's music.
The movie is about an indie-rock-loving dad (Nick Offerman) and daughter (Clemons) who set out to write a song together (this very song) before the daughter goes away to college. It feels a bit meta for me to include it on this playlist because a major turning point in the movie--and one of the best scenes--involves Nick Offerman's character hearing his own song on a playlist in a coffee shop for the first time. His reaction as he realizes what he's hearing is priceless. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a feel-good, music-filled movie.

About the curator - Becky Welch
Becky has been a music-obsessed, compulsive playlist maker and live music enthusiast for as long as she can remember. Few things delight her more than sharing music and geeking out with people who care as much about it as she does. She plays piano and “plays” the ukulele and guitar. She likes almost every genre but is mostly drawn to fun songs that make her dance with abandon.
