@StoneFlowers Nice Summer song, nice video, too! Can you please post the lyric when you get a chance? Thanks so much. "brown-eyed girls" (that would be me!) always wishing I had fair eyes so I love hearing brown eyes in a song!

Love the intro! Nice relaxed vibe overall. Gives me a California vibe.
You're right about winter here! Frost this morning. Brrr.
Would you mind including the lyric with your posts? Makes it much easier to follow along!
Was it difficult putting the video together?
Nice, chill out song. Enjoyed it.

Whoops sorry, forgot to post the lyrics. Hey thanks ya'll for giving it a listen. After I finished writing/recording this song it really seemed to me that it was worthy of a video. So I set off to Hampton Beach New Hampshire and shot the beach town vids. Then I headed to the Cape Cod National Seashore and got the beach dune scenes. The bar up on the cliff is one of my favorite summer places to go...The Beachcomber in Wellfleet Ma.
It's gonna be a hot one...or...a cold one RDM
The morning air rising off the street
You know it’s gona get much hotter
For a long while
Everybody’s wearing summer smiles woh woh woh
Song on the beach takes me back
Harmonies drifting through the heat
I scream in the hot sand
burning my feet hey pass me a cold drink
They’re singing bout me and you
They’ll be playing it a whole lot longer
In this kind of weather
A song of a long hot summer
Shuffle down the crowded streets of this beach town
A long stare at the ocean’s horizon
Stop at the hot dog stand
Some fries to go and hold the sand
One more thing to make the day’s complete
Now that the sun won’t last much longer
There’s a bar called the beachcomber
up on the cliff
Let’s wash the salt water off of our lips
They’re singing bout the sun’s return
We’ll be humming it a whole lot longer
in this kind of weather
A song of a long hot summer
They’re singing bout brown eyed girls
They’re singing bout love in the sun
They’re singing bout too much fun
In this kind of weather
A song of a long long hot summer

It's a fun song. Like RDM, I particularly like the intro. It builds expectation. Nice video, especially the way you got those folks on the stage to dance in time to the song 😁

Thanks amigo. Yeah can you believe that I was just walking by that stage taking vids and they happened to be dancing. And it turned out to be in perfect time with the song...ooowow.

@StoneFlowers - it seems the whole song you are singing at the top of your range, not much range.

Thank you so much for giving it a listen and your kind words my friend. You're right I have kind of a natural high tenor. In this case I was working towards a Beach Boys sound...really kinda sad about Brian's passing.

Just a comment on someone saying you are "singing at the top of your range." My experience is that the edges of your/our range are our most dramatic and listenable ranges. I felt that this was an outstanding song. Loved the vocal all the way through. Loved the guitar work all the way through.

Great intro and this song captures the vibe perfectly. We've just enjoyed some decent weather over here - something we don't get so often - so, yeah I'm into this. Fabulous song.
