On Springtime Strolls: Music, Blossoms & DC’s Joy
Britt Brewer on embracing the spirit of spring
Spring has finally sprung in the heart of Washington, DC, and the city is ablaze with the vibrant hues of cherry blossoms. As the icy grip of winter loosens its hold, there's an electric buzz of anticipation and relief in the air. The days of hibernation are behind us!
Embarking on my daily walkabouts, with an energizing soundtrack as my faithful companion, I'm greeted by the familiar yet endlessly enchanting sights and scents of the season. With every thaw, there comes a delightful surprise, serving as a gentle reminder of the transient beauty of this season.
I invite you to embrace the spirit of spring with a curated selection of high-octane, feel-good tunes that never fail to infuse my steps with energy and my face with a beaming smile. Below, you'll find some handpicked tracks perfect for your own outdoor escapades, or dive straight into my full-length Happy AF playlist (Spotify).
Grab your allergy meds of choice, lace up those sneakers, and hit the streets for a walkabout dance party! And as always, turn it up loud…
Roll with the Changes — REO Speedwagon. Bonus points for everyone who really lets those instrumental solos take you for a ride!
Blitzkrieg Bop — Ramones. I mean, c’mon… How can you not move to this track. Let your inner punk OUT.
Feelin’ Alright — Joe Cocker. This one’s for my brother Jake. Feelin’ alright, indeed 😊
