in the summertime by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

a simple song under 2 minutes long

i might have a go at this live

in the summertime
the day stays longer
the nights are warm
beneath the stars
in the summertime
the sun shines brightly
we step outside
and sip the air
in the summertime
we have such fun
so many things
that we can do
in the summertime
we catch the sun
and gently dream
of new horizons
in the summertime
the children play
for hours on end
even in the rain
in the sumertime
we have such fun
so many things
that we can do
oh the sumertime
it won't be long
till winter's gone
and summers here

in the summertime

How do you do it? Seriously, how do you make 2 minutes seem like 10 minutes? You wanna hook up with that there Brian Cox, even he couldn't explain it...

Obviously I need to get off my ass and write. This is spectacular ORH, I see many more great offerings from you to come!
Rock on!

[Flash Harry]

Live version is less cluttered and benefits from it. it's a lovely wistful reverie of summers past and the summers to come. I can see this being a song after a day of fun and now relaxing lazily with a nice glass of red.

Smashing stuff - and under 2!

I bet you wish you got that uke years ago! It fits you like a glove. Another beautiful song - so very haunting, and I love the way you leave that last note hanging.
