Tweet

It’s top ten time! The sunniest of the sun songs are before us for the remainder of the month. And, just like with The Beach Boys earlier in the countdown, we start off the top ten with someone whose name screams “summer sun.” This song doesn’t “scream,” though, it’s a lovely ballad.

Colour of the Sun Written by Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Peter Mayer, and Roger Guth Recorded by Jimmy Buffett From Songs From St. Somewhere, 2013 Northern Lights all draped around:
