In honor of DOMA being struck down, add Sara Bareilles' most recent single "Brave" to your summer song collection. The single was inspired by a gay friend of the singer who recently had trouble coming out of the closet. It's signature Bareilles: a light-hearted melody coupled with simple but powerful lyrics. The piano prodigy has been delivering us fun anthems since her breakout hit "Love Song," but "Brave" is especially relevant with the recent developments in the gay rights movement. Above all, though, it's catchy as hell. One listen and you'll be whisper-singing "I wanna see you be brave" as you walk to that internship/class/job. So download it.
