Songs For Summer

Mi-Amigo — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 07:40:14 GMT

What songs make you think of summer ?

Maybe its the lyrics of a song which mentions

warm sunny days?

holidays - the beach; walks in country; holiday romance?

memories of summers past?

Of course, the songs don`t have to have "summer" in the title to make us think of summer...

Here are three songs which make me think of summer...

In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry

Summer Of `69 - Bryan Adams

Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran

[sorry, it`s the lyrics version]

Over to you,

What songs make you think of summer ?

And please post a video of your songs [if possible]

Great thread @Mi-Amigo!

For me it's definitely this one, makes me think of my childhood eating ice cream sitting in the boot of our car in the parking lot of a supermarket 😁

My summer song is this. Years old 1966 and still makes me feel happy

Quote, ... "Summertime will be a love-in there"

Another from my hippy past, loved it then and still a great song.

From the late Scott McKenzie....

@Cleoriff I wondered how I managed to post the Kinks twice then realised you'd posted the same one....😁

Couple of songs I`ve not heard before [where have I been?]

Thank you @Cleoriff and @BobM

And my other half Ray wants a go...he is with O2 so allowed. His opinion, ELO, the most underrated band in the world. This was released in 1977 and he's performing it at Glastonbury in 2016

@BobMObviously got great taste in music. Anyone who loves Pink Floyd (from my post the other day) is a winner in my book.

Gotta have one for @Mi-Amigo ... Here comes the sun by the Beatles....

Agree @Cleoriff ; @BobM has great taste in music. He saw The Beatles FGS [OK I admit I`m jealous] and has a "hippy past" - like me, man...

... and has posted The Beatles` "Here Comes The Sun" as a Song For Summer - Thank You, I love that song.

Not so sure it's in the past @Mi-Amigo .... I'm still trying to grow my hair long but not so much of it left now, so doesn't look quite the same....

Can't have a summer without the rain....

Re: Songs For Summer

BobM — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 10:54:14 GMT

Back to the sunshine again... 'Sunshine Of Your Love' by Cream from a concert in 2005

Sad that there's only the one left now....

Re: Songs For Summer

BobM — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 11:13:04 GMT

One for @Cleoriff ..... It's not only the sun that shines....

Pink Floyd, live at Pompeii.....

Oops,.... Just realised it's not so much Pink Floyd and more Dave Gilmour

Re: Songs For Summer

Cleoriff — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 11:13:20 GMT

A bit of a sad one, but lovely. 1966. Walker Brothers (or the gorgeous Scott Walker) Yum

Never mind @BobM . Still superb, dedicated to the wonderful Syd Barrett.
