whens the deadline for this? July 31st?

Indeed, it is July 31st
So y'all got almost 2 months left for this (and maybe by then the summmer will have arrived as well...)

New entries are of course still welcome

[Dan Firth]

This is my entry to the competition!

Lyrics:

The sun is shining bright in the morning
And the fog rises as she does
Hopefully the temperature rises
So that this day can be as planned

Looking back on winter
Won't be so bad, if you would just understand
And hopefully we could forget
All of the time, that we didn't spend

This season's been too cold,
without you here, by my side
But now,
Now that spring's come, let us be intertwined

('Cause) We could lose touch
We could lose touch
If you don't call out my name in that funny way
We could lose touch
We could lose touch
On this Summer's day
On this Summer's day

How long must I wait?
I can tell by the look in your eyes that we'll be okay
And what could go wrong?
Since we are still young
Let's take chances
Let's take chances

This season's been very cold,
without you by my side

We could lose touch
We could lose touch
If you don't call out my name in that funny way
We could lose touch
We could lose touch
On this Summer's day
On this Summer's day

(Instrumental) (Uuuhh, uuuh)

Now that I've been fighting
What will the gift be,
Will you love me?
I'll just have to remember
Not to give up hope

We could lose touch
We could lose touch
If you don't call out my name in that funny way
We could lose touch
We could lose touch
If you don't call out my name in that funny way
We could lose touch
We could lose touch
On this Summer's day
On this Summer's day

Nice song Dan. Great guitar work. Good contender.
Maybe you should pop this into 'finished songs' ? I dunno, I ain't got no authority!

BTW - How on earth did you get 338 plays in 17 hours?

[habiTat]

No time to listen at the mo but yes, Shiny is right, post it in the finished songs board and include 'summer comp entry' in the thread title (alternatively you can (and probably should) post it as a separate subject in the competitions board) the trouble with this is that you'll get very few reviews..
 

It's a problem we seem to have, prob best putting in in the finished songs board i think

I was planning on making about 8 summer songs for no reason in chapters all linked to each other and then googling things I saw this topic and I thought I should leave my tracks here so you guys can consider them for your contest....
I made a sketch of the first track you can hear it here:

I think you are only allowed to enter one song in this contest

[Michael]

Hey folks,
just a reminder for everyone who still wants to join, you have until Wednesday, July 31st to post your song
After that, we will all have some time (a week or so?) to listen to all the songs and then vote for our 3 favourite tracks.

And of course all the songs will then be displayed on the Summer Tunes Bandcamp Page, once again in support of the BADAW charity for abandoned dogs.

Enjoy the nice weather, and try not to sweat on your lyrics notebook too much as the mercury is climbing again

DREAM ABOUT SUMMER
===============

(c) Allan Kilgour 2013 ( APRA )

Summer’s not coming it’s already here
Lying on the beach with a bottle of beer
Raising my hand for a G & T
That’s for my baby lying next to me

Yachts sailing past in the deep blue sea
Palm trees swaying in the breeze
Waves gently lapping on the shore
Summers here, who could want more

Chorus

Close my eyes and I dream
I dream about summer
Close my eyes and I dream
I dream about summer
Close my eyes and I dream
I dream about summer
Open em wide
And summers here

Fiji and Tonga and Hawaii
Samoa Vanuatu and Bali
New Caledonia and Queensland
Norfolk Island and New Zealand

They all got a few things they share,
A Sandy beach with a lazy deck chair
Fall asleep without a care
And dream about summer, its already here

Repeat Chorus

[Neil C]

Allan,
Lovely and I enjoyed the place naming, and with my Hawaiin shirt I'm off to meet the Beach Boys with a Ukulele!
Made me feel good and suited the weather as its boiling hot in the mother country at the moment....

Neil

[crystalsuzy]

[digger72]

Gonna give it a whirl, but as you know I'm rubbish at happy songs, so there will be a high degree of song pilfery.

I was thinking of calling it "Terry thinks I'm a happy soul."

Hopefully have it posted soon.

It won't be good - but who wants to be good.

Cheers,


Digger

[Saeed AlSuri]
