The sun is hot, the birds are chirping, and the grass is green! It must be Gemini season! Let’s kick off this fun and carefree season with a playlist that will inspire the unpredictable air sign!
Two Princes
Written and performed by Spin Doctors.
I heard this song again for the first time in years a couple of months ago and immediately thought “this has to go on the Gemini playlist!” This fun song about a person who has to choose between a rich prince and a prince who genuinely loves them, will speak to Gemini’s indecisive and playful nature.
Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy
Written and performed by Queen.
The tarot card for Gemini is The Lovers for a reason. As one of the most communicative signs in the zodiac, they are also some of the sweetest smooth talkers you will ever come across. So naturally, they will love this song about old-fashioned romance. They will enjoy listening to the lyrics “Write my letter, feel much better, and use my fancy patter on the telephone.”
Also the lead singer of Queen is Freddie Mercury, and Mercury is Gemini’s ruling planet, so this song had to be on the list.
Should I Stay Or Should I Go
Written and performed by The Clash.
I promise this is the last song on the list that hints at how indecisive the mutable air sign is. There are going to be a few of those on this playlist. This iconic tune by The Clash will get all of the Gemini’s dancing and headbanging. They will also identify with any song where the singer is asking someone to make a decision for them.
School’s Out
Written by Micheal Bruce, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith. Performed by Alice Cooper.
Oh, Gemini! Sweet, studious little Gemini. You have been studying and/or working hard all year. But now it is time to let loose and herald in the summer. And what better way to let loose than to scream this incredibly cathartic song at the top of your lungs.
Pieces Of Me
Written and performed by Ledisi. Co-written by Charles T. Harmon and Claude Kelly.
Geminis can be quite dualistic in nature. And this song speaks to the many sides of the complex air sign. Though the singer, Ledisi, is an Aries, her Mars sign and Saturn sign are in Gemini, so she understands the duality of the sign. Geminis have many different sides to their personalities and that is probably why they love this song so much.
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Written and performed by The Beatles.
I have always maintained that Geminis are the most poetic sign. And this song, written by Gemini Paul McCartney and Libra John Lennon, is nothing if not pure poetry. Well, purely bizarre poetry that is. But poetry nonetheless. Geminis are free spirits and I can just imagine them dancing around like hippies to this song
Hot N Cold
Written and performed by Katy Perry. Co-written by Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald and Max Martin.
Okay, I lied! THIS song is the last song on the list that hints at how indecisive Geminis are. I know it may seem like I’m poking fun at Geminis with these song picks, but honestly, I sympathize. It’s hard to make decisions. It was a nightmare whittling this list down to 12 songs. This song lets Geminis playfully make fun of themselves.
Blowing In the Wind
Written and performed by Bob Dylan.
This is another poetic song from another poetic Gemini. The mutable air sign is very inquisitive and likes to ask questions even if those questions don’t really have answers. This song will remind them that sometimes the answers they seek are just blowing in the wind.
When Doves Cry
Written and performed by Prince.
There are SO many Geminis in the music industry! This is a song that speaks to Gemini’s questioning and self-reflective nature. Maybe Prince was channeling his Gemini sun and his Gemini Mercury when he wrote this song.
Talk To Me
Written and performed by Stevie Nicks. Co-written by Chas Sanford.
I know I just dedicated a whole playlist to Stevie Nicks, but she deserves a spot on this playlist because she is a Gemini and a goddess! All air signs are incredibly communicative, but Geminis are particularly loquacious. They are also incredibly sympathetic, which is why this song about opening up and communicating your emotions will resonate so well with them.
Summertime Sadness
Written and performed by Lana Del Ray. Co-written by Rick Nowels.
As I mentioned earlier in this article, Gemini season heralds summer! There are so many fantastically fun songs about the hottest time of the year, but the beautiful Gemini singer Lana Del Ray brings us a song that reveals the more melancholy side of summer. The mutable air sign will appreciate the poetry and imagery of this song.
New Attitude
Written by Jon Gillutin, Bunny Hall, and Sharon Robinson. Performed by Patti LaBelle.
Sometimes the mutable sign runs hot and cold and sometimes they run into overload. If anyone understands extremes it is Gemini. This song sung by the incomparable Gemini Patti LaBelle will get the air signs on their feet and dancing while letting them embrace their carefree attitude.
