Bouncy song that tells a story about summer love
Feisty 'n straight to the heart. Hailing from 'Lil Rhody, making merry with a college rock sound from the 80's with gutsy guitars and pleasing harmonies.
Story behind the song
Reflecting back on falling in love at the beach during the summer
Lyrics
Once upon a summertime when days were long and dreams were fine
the night brought me to the crescent beach, my home away from home
Gathered ‘round the firelight, guitars were strummin’ high
a krime wave has its casualties, but we were wild ’n free
Chorus:
It’s a far cry from perfection, mmmm, mmmm.
we could head in that direction, mmmm, mmmm
it’s a far cry from perfection, mmmm, mmmm
we could head in that direction, ‘cuz we were wild ’n free
Summer ends as it always does, but me, I couldn’t leave
so I took my place at sand ’n sea, the fire went out on you and me
The band played on the drinks were free the skies grew dark and cold
a faded flannel comforts me from the dead-eye of a kidnapping
Chorus
Time rolled on like the ships at sea ’til the blizzard came and rattled me
now I’m thinkin’ of a summer song to take me back where I belong
Chorus
