There are some movie soundtracks out there that just make the movie. And Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol 2? Well, it can turn the biggest frown upside down. Whatever anxiety that’s carried on your shoulders can just roll off. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was a fantastic movie. And the complete soundtrack is 100% the cherry on top.

Here are some spirit-lifting tunes from one of the best movie soundtracks out there. Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol 2, this week on Sunday Jams.

Lake Shore Drive

“Lake Shore Drive.” A long stretch of road in Chicago that runs along Lake Michigan? Or code for a psychedelic drug? However you choose to interpret this song by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah, this catchy tune sure can brighten any gloomy day.

Southern Nights

The song that sings nothing but serenity, peace, and freedom. “Southern Nights” by Glen Campbell gets you feeling like it’s time to pop open an ice-cold beer, and prop your feet up on the railing of the front patio. No more worries tonight.

Wham Bam Shang-a-Lang

Having been described as an “infectiously giddy track,” this insanely catchy tune by Silver will have you standing up, dancing, and singing along in no time. Hard to believe “Wham Bam Shang-a-Lang” was from a one-hit wonder, but that’s how it seems to work out.

Brandy You’re a Fine Girl

It’s a staple of the Yacht Rock genre. With “Brandy You’re a Fine Girl” by Looking Glass, it’s hard to not find your body moving to the jazzy rhythm of the music. Today, we’re all sailors. And our life, our love, and our lady, is the sea.
