Earlier this year, I felt a gentle tug to begin creating seasonal playlists—something that could hold the sound of a season, the way certain songs just stay with you.
And now that it’s officially summer, it feels like the perfect time to share the first!
For most of my life, I’ve gathered songs that helped carry me through—melodies that became the soundtrack to specific moments and milestones, both spiritually and naturally.
When I sensed the invitation to start curating playlists for Here to Remind You, it felt like a full-circle moment. What a beautiful extension of how God has used music to minister to me over the years. It’s always been more than background noise.
Music changes the atmosphere.
It calms your emotions.
Speaks when you have no words.
Invites you into stillness, joy, hope, remembrance—into presence.
So I thought, ‘why not share the sounds that have been shaping my seasons too?’

This is the first playlist in a new rhythm of seasonal soundtracks from Here to Remind You.
These songs feel like sun-kissed skin and endless summer.
Whether you’re headed to the beach, on a long drive, or relaxing at home, each track carries the feeling of open skies and new possibilities.
Growing up in Phoenix, summer was hottttt—blazing, really—but it also felt like freedom. Spontaneity. Rest. Adventure.
A break from what was, and a soft invitation into what could be.
Spiritually, summer carries the energy of expectancy.
It reminds us that God still surprises us.
That light still finds its way in.
That growth doesn’t always have to look like striving—sometimes it looks like blooming slowly in the warmth of His presence.
Press Play
Let this be your soundtrack for becoming this summer.

More seasonal playlists will drop throughout the year—always aligned with nature’s rhythm and heaven’s invitation.
Here’s to letting sound set the tone.
For your space. For your soul. For the season ahead.
With love,
Hayden
