Sweet Life – Frank Ocean
For this week’s picnic track, I am going to shine the spotlight on one of Frank Ocean’s classic songs, “Sweet Life.”
Opal (Four Tet Remix) – Bicep
I absolutely love this song and, perhaps more so, the memories that come with it. It sends me back to some of the best days of my life, living in my student flat in Glasgow. Isn’t that such a great quality about music? I guess that’s what helped grow my profound love for this song.
Spell- Fireboy dml ft Wande Coal
This is a very groovy afrobeat track with lovely instrumentation and melody complimented with sweet vocals from Fireboy and Wande Coal, Enjoy!
Eighteen – Pat Metheny Group
As a guitarist I always appreciated Metheny’s lyrical melodies, which is a challenge when composing instrumental music to get across to the public. ‘Eighteen’ is a great example of his wonderful infectious melodies and the feel-good vibes that the group always seemed to evoke no matter what direction their improvisations would take them in a song. This is why the album won a Grammy for Best Jazz Fusion Performance; the first of many to come in the next decade.
Métamorphoses – June Cocó
This song has a special magic to it, it’s not just about the soothing voice or the comforting piano, it’s not just about the beautiful melodies or the precious harmony, not just about a mood or just a sound, it tends to get you somewhere you need to be.
OUTTA MY MIND – Monsune

There She Goes – David Place
