Martin Gustav Collective
Growing up in Austria, I founded my first band in 1994 playing bass, which has remained my main instrument ever since. From early on, I was the kind of musician who composed the music around existing lyrics. Over the years, a lot has changed: from my very first recordings on cassette tapes, to the first steps with Cool Edit Pro, and eventually moving on to Logic each stage shaped my sound and approach. With the internet, it became easier to connect with lyricists and musicians from all over the world and turn ideas into full productions. I was never the strongest lyricist myself, but I developed my own style as a songwriter and composer. The Martin Gustav Project is where I present these collaborations a collection of songs shaped by friendship, creativity, and the joy of making music together.

Story behind the song
Back when I played in a band, we had a very ambitious singer and bandleader. He often spoke with great conviction that we were destined to become stars. He would go into vivid details, imagining himself moving to New Jersey, throwing yacht parties, and living the glamorous life of a celebrity. At some point I felt inspired to write a song about him capturing both his big dreams and the almost childlike certainty with which he believed in them. Summer Rain is that song: a mix of admiration, irony, and a glimpse into the spirit of someone who truly believed in stardom.
Lyrics
Verse 1) In my dreams I live in New Jersey, Ive got a big house and a private plane. A lot of cars, girls, and casinos, No movie will run without my name. (Pre-Chorus) Now you can call me a dreamer, But I know my dream will come true. Ill throw a party on my boat, And you are welcome on my long-promised road. (Refrain) Im gonna keep on until my dream comes true. And I am a hero, a hero of a brand new day. I am a star, Im on the road today. I am a hero, yeah take a look at me. I am a star and I feel summer rain. (Verse 2) My neighbors, they are all movie stars, Feeling small when they hear my name. Im a well-known guest at the White House, The president calls me his friend. (Pre-Chorus) Im gonna keep on until my dream comes true. (Refrain) And I am a hero, a hero of a brand new day. I am a star, Im on the road today. I am a hero, yeah take a look at me. I am a star and I feel summer rain. [Outro] I'm a hero I'm a hero I'm a hero I'm a hero
