What I Did During My Summer Vacation
Solo project featuring Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies, Hard rock mandolin playing, and a Yamaha synth.
Hi, my name is Kenneth, this is my music.
Story behind the song
The lyrics of the section "You'll Always Be Alive in My Heart" were written by Emily Carolyn Fine, a guitarist friend of mine.
Lyrics
Sex:
This is a song, this is a sad song, this a sad, sad song about sex.
I'm so sexy that I'm walking around, I walk to the beach and I'm walking around 'cause I'm SEXY!
I'm so sexy that I'm walking around, I walk to the park and I'm walking around 'cause I'm SEXY!
Music Box:
She woke me up as the clock struck two,
"I had a nightmare, can I sleep with you?"
I said "Alright, just tell me what it was about"
She said "I was so afraid, I guess I blocked it out"
She described to me the shattered fragments of her dream,
"I was walking in the snow, but my glasses were bathed in steam"
"Go on, go on, go on" Were the only words I said,
"I can't recall anymore" and she slowly shook her head.
She paused "I remember now" she spoke through her tears,
"While I was walking, behind me a person appeared,
I turned around to see who was standing there,
He kissed me and I was filled with despair"
He was you...
Hawaii:
Don't be afraid of your shadow,
Don't be afraid of your reflection,
Don't you know it's just a tete-a-tete with fate,
I want to be your lonely freshman.
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
You don't have to be apart to be in pain,
She gave me the key to her heart, but I lost it,
I guess this is how it feels to circle the drain.
You'll Always Be Alive in My Heart:
Our time is short, yet there is still,
So many things still left to say,
I thought I'd have more time with you,
Yesterday always seemed so far away.
I don't think we'll meet again,
But I have made my peace,
Eventually, I know that,
The emptiness in my heart will cease.
I can't feel you anymore,
We're just too far apart,
But as I turn to leave, just know,
You'll always be alive in my heart.
Sex (Reprise):
..And I'm hoping you can be sexy like me, too!
