[wkamen]

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.

Since you've posted this in the lyrics section I'll concentrate on those. Though I have to say it's a lovely tune and your voice is wonderful and definitely suits the genre.

Firstly, with a tune like that your first thought is that somewhere along the line there's going to be  a broken heart involved! And there's a hint of it in the first verse and towards the end without explicitly saying so. It's like he's thinking back on a good memory, but something that ended up being brief or didn't last for whatever reason. I like lyrics that hint at things but leave the interpretation up to the listener.

First verse aside, you chose not to bother rhyming (at least not in a coherent or obvious way) and that allows for more freedom of expression. Led to some nice lines (I especially liked "Strange how a song sounds like a memory" - lovely phrasing).

Not much else I can really say about them. They tell a story and it feels like you've put real effort into them.

If you're after more feedback on the music/production side of things then you'd probably be better posting it in Finished Songs or Works in Progress.

All in all, great song.
