Summer Rain (recorded on a desolate island)

[Redler]

Hi!

Here's another song for RemoteFest. I wrote this last week here at the Lake Sääksjärvi (Finland), when summer rain and thunder were very close, but it passed by this place. I haven't time to record this then.

 Today, I went (by boat) to an desolate island and recorded this song by the shore. The weather is very hot right now, about 29 centigrades and the sun is shining. "A blue hole in the cloud" was photographed while writing lyrics. Right now, here isn't any threat of thunder or even summer rain, but this is a gentle wish of refreshing rain, perhaps, though I love this weather.

Recorded live on Micro BR by using mp3 mode with ForNylon effect. Trimmed on Audacity. Sorry for the hiss, it caused by "gentle wind" . I played my trusty old Landola from the 70's.

My goal was reach the ghost of the nature, summer day and desolated island and keeping this as a minimalistic song.

Thanks for listening. (pics followed)

Summer Rain

When this wind sings to me
I'm sitting here by the shore
A bit of thunder in the air
A blue hole in the cloud

Ch: Summer rain, summer rain
please come to me
Summer rain, summer rain
raise your wings and smile at me

It's early afternoon
A lonely seagull flies by
A gentle wind on my skin
A gentle summer day on my mind

Another fabulous song that seems to capture the isolation of a wonderfully beautiful island. Top notch.  Willie
