A lovely song with a lot of atmosphere. I like the way it builds and the harmony vocals are superb. An honest country/rock ballad to my ears. Forgive me for saying, but this song deserves a better video - it maybe a special place to you, but a few mobile shots don't really work for me. Otherwise this is great :)

Video was a distraction of an excellent albeit formulaic song. Production sounds on-point to me. Vocals, including backing is perfect. I'm sure there are loads of country fans who would just lap this up.

@wkamen (Wow, that's the first time I've seen ads on Soundcloud, is that new?) Like the other music you have posted here, this is a polished C&W track with a highly professional vocal performance.

(Would be good to see lyrics.)

Hi @wkamen

   I love the chords and their resolutions. A tasteful use of harmony supports a great lead vocal. The guitar as just enough echo and not too much.

A delightful song.

Oh and @kevysc - i pinched these from soundcloud. Don't tell the cyber police - I can't afford to be caught on their net again.

Summer was gone, fall was in full color
I woke up to the sound of a cold rain
Wrapped in a memory as tears grip my face
Like raindrops hugging the window pane

Pre-Chorus
An image embedded in my head
still remains and keeps coming back
Keeps coming back in a song
           A Summer Place

Chorus
Every time I think about that song
I picture you and me on that beach
Strange how a song sounds like a memory
Like a recording of a summer’s day
Somewhere, somewhere only we know.
 
I go back to when I first saw you
Swayin’ to the rhythm of the waves
On that lonely stretch of sand
I caught your glance, and got lost in your eyes
You said hi and in that moment, I was captured
I found a love for me hidden in the sand
 
I go back to when we walked together
Barefoot in the sand, hand in hand
We stopped at the water’s edge
The soft sensuous touch of the breeze
embraced us and we had our first dance
listening to the song a summer place

I go back to when we were sitting
On that lonely shore, the sun dipping
Into the sea, the scent of jasmine
Filling our senses, we got high,
Then we kissed. In that moment,
I knew we belonged together
 
I didn’t want this day to end
I didn’t want this day to ever ever end
             
Every time I think about that song
I picture you and me on that beach
Strange how a song sounds like a memory
Like a recording of a summer’s day
Somewhere, somewhere only we know.
Somewhere, somewhere only we know.
