Bannana Rama - Cruel Summer

[Ramona_A_Stone]

A few of the vast number I thought of in a flash that made my brain sizzle like a cracked egg on hot pavement:

David Sylvian/Rain Tree Crow - Rain Tree Crow - Pocket Full of Change

...She brings me water
Sweeter than wine
Lost in the moment
Summertime...

And, one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs, from Atom Heart Mother, one of my favorite P.F. albums which also contains the piece Summer '68.

Fat Old Sun

When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evening birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells
New mown grass smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down

And if you sit
Don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evening birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears

And if you sit
Don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me

Brian Eno - Another Green World - Everything Merges With the Night

Rosalie, I've been waiting all evening
Possibly years, I don't know
Counting the passing hours
Everything merges with the night

I stand on the beach, giving out descriptions
Different for everyone I see
Since I just can't remember
Longer than last September

Santiago, under the volcano
Floats like a cushion on the sea
Yet I can never sleep here
Everything ponders in the night

Rosalie, we've been talking all summer
Picking the straw from our clothes
See how the breeze has softened
Everything pauses in the night

And, of course...

Summertime (By George Gershwin, from Porgy and Bess, and as covered by Peter Gabriel (my personal favorite), Tori Amos and many others...
(There are more than 2600 known covers))

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now, don't you cry

One of these mornin's, you're gonna rise up singin'
You're gonna spread your wings and take to the sky
But til that mornin', ain't nothin' can harm you
With your daddy & your mammy standin' by

[twinspan]

Don Henley - Boys of Summer

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

[Headbanger]

[floydian slip]

It sure was a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
Well my heart was way
Down in a cold cold winter storm.

Well my darlin where can you be? where can you be baby?
Where can you be?

[iluvaxlrose]

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

Cars - Magic

Summer turns me upside down
Summer summer summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows

(I always hated that damn song)

I like the Shaggy version of that. Like that matters to anyone; hell, even I don't care.

I see I mentioned that years ago. Damn these old threads.
