i've always loved summer songs and have always wanted to write on.. but i never forced the issue as i beleive in waiting until the song is given to me by whatever wind happens to be blowing at the moment.. i finally got around to writing it last summer after chatting quite a bit on facebook with a very beautiful young lady.. the song is both modern and nostalgic, which summer always is.. meaning.. we enjoy both the moment at hand and also have that universal yearning for true love that seems to really manifest itself when the sun is shining and the breeze is soft and warm.. putting this into music is not easy to do.. the music itself is both hopeful and pensive, like most summers usually are.. musically, i used two tracks of electric guitar, one with some interesting phase shifting going on, which gives the guitar a remembering sound.. the bass is actually my trusty korg triton synth, set to a clavinet setting, wehich gives the song a little soul!! there's also some nice strings, which i don't use that often, which gives the song a true yearning for happy days gone by.. the vocals have some nice harmonies on the chorus, all sung by yours truly, and the lead vocal itself expresses a certain resignation with the fact that a a summer love is not something that we can conjure up at will, or snap our fingers to make it happen.. how and when a summer love truly happens is a true mystery that i beleive is a gift from above.. it's written in the stars, so to speak!! i wish everyone on earth a true summer love this summer.. a summer love that goes on.. and on.. and on.. well, you get my drift!! (: please tell everyone to buy it, (if they like it, of course!! lol!! ) it will be on i-tunes.. cdbaby, as a cd single, etc..

i remember.. happy days..
only sunshine.. always..
oh.. oh..oh.. oh..
oh.. oh.. oh...
times were good..
things were fine..
cause everyone..
seemed so kind..
oh..oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh...
how i long for all those days of summer love.. with you..
take me back where i belong.. a summer love.. come true..
how i wish that i can go and be with you.. once more..
holding hands, while making plans, our life along the shore..
so call me old..
past my prime..
this land of gold..
is not this time..
oh..oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh...
how i long for all those days of summer love.. with you..
take me back where i belong.. a summer love.. come true..
how i wish that i can go and be with you.. once more..
holding hands, while making plans, our life along the shore..
a summer love.. a summer love..
a summer love.. a summer love...
a summer love.. a summer love....
