Summer Blues
SUMMER BLUES
The weather never changes in this stubborn southern town
How I wish it would rain
The sun beats like a hammer on the beaches thru the palms
I would rather be in your arms
Tired of being a stranger checking in and checking out
I dreamed of you again last night saw your face in a storm cloud
But when I woke, tho the heat was choking
In my heart I felt a chill then thunder broke the spell
Heavens opened rain came down
And washed my blues away, they're scattered to the wind
Now I know just where to begin
'Cos lately I'm indifferent to the world's weary charms
I would rather be in your arms your sweet cool arms
I would rather be in your arms your cool cool arms
Hi Chris, I like this – it has a kind of ’60s vibe (at least to my mind!) which works well. This is a clever song, not sure if it is a harp, but it gives the impression of raindrops, and then you get the bit where the rain finally breaks – which is really well done. Nice one. Cheers.
Well Chris , You have great vocals.Its a different song. A dap of PJ Proby for me. A lot going on in the song Stuck to the end .Was great I will listen again
It’s rather apt that I am listening to this on the hottest day in history?. But that aside, the lyrics are really well crafted. It’s a strong performance, beautifully restrained. I enjoyed it.
I love how this builds, throughout, Chris. Well done on the tricky vocals. We’re still waiting for the rain…
Great bluesy track with really interesting instrumentation. (What is that harp type sound?) I love that many harmony part (is that all you?) and the uplifting sounding ending. Great stuff.
