MamaPink Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Just putting together a nice summertime compilation - wondering if you guys might like to help me out. Here's your motivation: You're outside, the sun is shining - lounging by your tent, beer in hand and surrounded by great friends... what music usually reminds you of these times?

MarcO Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 No specific tracks (yet) but for me there would have to be some Grateful Dead (I'd go with something from 1988 - 1991) and lots of reggae! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I always like "Free" by Phish as a good "first song of the summer (vacation)". Either that, or "A Million Vacations" by Max Webster. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Obviously... Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back." I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but- I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone "Boys of Summer" - Don Henley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hot town summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty Been down, isn’t it a pity Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city All around people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head But at night it’s a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Despite the heat it will be alright And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity The days can’t be like the night In the summer in the city In the summer in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressed so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I’m weezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof top But at night it’s a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Despite the heat it will be alright And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity The days can’t be like the night In the summer in the city In the summer in the city But at night it’s a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Despite the heat it will be alright And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity The days can’t be like the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
