The Sounds of Summer, written at the height of a hot humid Mpls summer, perfectly encapsulates the peace and joy possible if you listen closely.

lyrics

THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER

V1:
FLIES BUZZING IN MY EAR DROWNING OUT THE RADIO
LAYING IN MY HAMMOCK CAUSE I’VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO
THE HUM OF THE CICADAS- BIRDS SINGING MELODIES
EATING WATERMELON UNDERNEATH MY FAVORITE TREE

CHORUS:
THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER (4X)

V2:
ORANGE SKIES OR CHILLI FRIES
I CAN’T DECIDE WHICH ONE THAT I LIKE MOST
I’LL LATHER ON BANANA BOAT JUST SO MY SKIN DON’T TURN TO TOAST
GOOD VIBRATIONS IS PLAYING ON THE STEREO
WITH NIGHTS LIKE THESE THERES NO PLACE I’D RATHER GO

SOLO:

BRIDGE:
LEAVES FALLING OFF THE TREES
IT’S ABOUT TO BE THAT TIME AGAIN
I HAVE TO SAY, I KNEW THIS SUMMER WOULD END
SO TAKE ME BACK, TAKE ME BACK
I DON’T WANT THESE NIGHTS TO END
I JUST WANT TO HEAR (BREAK)
THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER…
