    Default In The Summer

    This is my first post for a good 5 months! I've been away writing hard, and working hard! And I have about 3 or 4 new songs to share with you guys. This one is called 'In The Summer'. When I wrote it I was listening to the band Ash alot and I was fascinated by their song 'Walking Barefoot' and how they made the song sound 'summer-y' when the lyrics were about something totally different. The song, both musically and lyrically, has a summer feel to it.

    Walking along the sandy beach
    Throwing pebbles into the sea
    This is what makes our summer
    This is just you and me
    Your soft hair blowing in the breeze
    Nothing else will ever be this good
    I just want time to freeze
    So nothing could ever be so good

    In the summer
    I just wanted you and me
    This is how I wanted it to be
    All I wanted was you and me
    In the summer
    We shared the best times of our lives
    Staying awake every night
    Watching stars disappear into the night

    As the day comes to a end
    And the the sun swaps for a breezy wind
    We head out hand in hand to see what the evening brings
    We can forget any problems we had and leave them behind

    In the summer
    I just wanted you and me
    This is how I wanted it to be
    All I wanted was you and me
    In the summer
    We shared the best times of our lives
    Staying awake every night
    Watching stars disappear into the night

    In the summer
    I just wanted you and me
    This is how I wanted it to be
    All I wanted was you and me
    In the summer
    We shared the best times of our lives
    Staying awake every night
    Watching stars disappear into the night

    FAAAAN-TAStik. First thing was that I like the way you wrapped this around:

    Nothing else will ever be this good
    I just want time to freeze
    So nothing could ever be so good

    But the whole thing has some good flow and texture, and it brings to mind 1 or 2 great "summer songs" I've heard and loved over the years.

    I would just recommend finding some way to change "night" in one of the last 2 lines of the chorus... light, twilight, delight, right, alright, wish I might? But even as it is, get it on vinyl and make it spin
    There is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback! Anyways good to know what people think. I had trouble with the chorus while writing it, especially the last two lines! After a quick think, I can probably change the last two lines to "staying awake every night, watching stars turning the darkness light/ bright?
