500 Days of Summer Soundtrack Features 27 Songs of Greatness
I have found my favorite soundtrack of the summer. It’s the 27 songs from 500 Days of Summer. Only half of them are on the soundtrack album that was released, but you can find all 27 (plus a bonus track) here.
(500) Days of Summer features a couple songs from The Smiths, Regina Spektor, Feist, Sppon, Wolfmother, Belle & Sebastian and The Doves, as well as tracks from Poison, The Clash and Simon & Garfunkel. Seriously, how could you go wrong with this one. Even She’s Like the Wind is on it in a so bad it’s oh so good sort of way.
Here are the songs from the movie, with downloads for most of them. You can also find the videos for the songs at Reelsoundtrack.com. Hope you enjoy. I know I did.

Original music for (500) Days of Summer by Rob Simonsen
Extra song on the album that was not in the movie:
- Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want by She & Him
Love that you compiled this list. Did you by chance include the song that was played during the train scene when Summer and Tom were going to Santa Barbra? Thx
I was really excited when She’s Got You High started playing. Best film of summer.
sweet disposition by temper trap?
I agree, it’s one of the best soundtracks of the summer.
I was wondering why I couldn’t find the temper song on imeem. The first 35 seconds of the song really matched the movie.
I googled “songs not on 500 days of summer soundtrack” and yours popped up.
thanks for such an elaborate list.
are you getting a lot of hits by being a soundtrack blog? or do you truly enjoy this?
thank you so much!
started making lists of the songs because i could not find them anywhere else. more than mildly obsessed with movie music. definitely a labor of love.
does anyone know the instrumental song played on their way back (in the train) when summer leaned her head on tom’s shoulder?
