#pop #upbeat #harms What a lovely idea for a prompt! It may be cloudy today, but I can see the sun beyond!
Lyrics
Summer always fills me with joy It lifts a sagging heart We don’t need to stay in any more Like we did in those months before
Reminds me of the day that we met Takes me back in time The sky is bluer now the sun is shining Our happiness together combining
In the summer everything seems right In the summer we always make it through the night In the summer we are filled with love We thank our lucky stars, when we look above
I love the changing of the season Some folks are happier complaining But things happen for a reason Feel the sun on our backs sustaining
In the summertime, everything is right In the summertime, we always make it through the night In the summertime, we are filled with love We think about our lucky stars, when we gaze above

This is a sunny, upbeat track! “We don’t need to stay in any more” is a favorite line. Love the sentiment.
I also really like the rhythm/rhyme in these lines: “Takes me back in time The sky is bluer now the sun is shining”

Nice song! Is that a drum machine? I have flirted with the idea of using one in the background when I record to keep me on beat.

Hi Anton, thanks for the kind words. It's just a Logic drum loop. I find them easier to play to than a metronome. As I only have one mic, it also picks up the strumming (a bit too loudly) but as it's a skirmish I didn't have time to re-do the main Vox. Ah well, third world problems.
