That’s Why I Like Summer

A friend asked me to write lyrics for his songs, and I come up with this. Though I’m not in the mood for writing (see how long this blog have been neglected by its user? LoL). Summer is my favorite subject- and will always be- so that explains why I love Johan Angergard’s songs -especially those from Club 8 and Acid House Kings- I’m becoming more and more addicted with AHK. I sing to ‘Do What You Wanna Do’ every morning for an instant mood-booster. The retro, cheerful summer sound with those clapping hands sound in the background, reminds you of a ’60s summer at the beach, and makes you wanna move your head and clap with them :)

You know how it’s like to wear your favorite flannel pajamas and old socks? That’s exactly how I feel about their (AHK) songs. It’s just like listening to an old friend. So familiar, and yet oh so comfy :)

Summer Song

Lying with my back on the grass

Looking at the summer sky

As blue as forget-me-not flowers

Counting the clouds parade

As white as fluffy marshmallows

You came to me one summer day

Asking for love nowhere to find

So we were dancing barefoot in the sand

Together with the fireflies and the stars above

The smell of sweet watermelon fills the air

Children burst out laughing, licking popsicles

We danced and laughed with the soft summer breeze

Blew the haziness out of my heart

You whispered to me one summer day

“Come with me, and I’d show you the world

right through pink-coloured bubbles

And live happily ever-after

In the castle faraway up in the sky.”

The sound of the waves sang merrily to the sea

The golden sun wrapped the warmth on the air

Suddenly I found myself danced alone

Beneath the cloudy summer sky

You left me one summer day

Looking for love nowhere to find

So I kept dancing with myself

All alone, beneath the moonlit sky
