This playlist is best enjoyed in the late evening, preferably while sitting on your back porch sipping a chilled glass of ice tea.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/7zHhfhxvqAghlfgGSKEaSD\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/4FIDurfVBdvQ7Pm9jZcqHr?si=2e48bc48fd1a4034\">Music by BU Alumni<\/a><\/strong>, a collection of songs written and\/or performed by BU alumni, contains music from around the world.
