Hello!
https://soundcloud.com/user-41129754/summer-lover-masterSo, after 20 odd years of playing guitar and writing music I finally have a finished track and I have John (pompeyjazz) to thank for that!
It was written for the summer competition and I drew inspiration from nowhere tbh...the first few words and chords came to me and the rest fell in place from there (and all fictional and not personal). The big break for me was John kindly offering to produce the track and he really seen the process home by adding lead guitar, backing vocals and taking care of the entire mixing process. I am extremely grateful for his help and really could not have finished this without him. So thank you John.
All the best everyone. Darren
The lyrics:
He was sat on the beach in the summer
When something shaded his eyes
It looked like his former lover's
Silhouette against the sky
But it wasn't them at all
Just another person catching a ball
The situation made him recall
His summer lover
Last summer, when they got together
They were having the time of their lives
Then he mentioned forever
and something changed in their eyes
And it wasn't meant to be at all
Just another guy dropping the ball
In his search for someone to call
His Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer Lover
He wants somebody to love
He wants somebody to love
He wants somebody to love
He wants somebody to love
This summer, he's going to take it easy
Mr cool, calm and breezy
Just this side of sleazy
and a little bit left of cheesy
and he's going to have a ball
and let the chip land where they fall
and might just find someone to call
His forever lover
He recalls his Somer Lover...
