Sounds of Summer May 10, 2008
Adam and Joe are doing a whole show on summer. Things you love, things you hate and music that evokes it. Luckily they have not made us suffer Summertime by Will Smith, yet.
We have had Girl from Mars by Ash which takes me straight back to 1996 - the first summer of me and T. What I remember is lying in the grass, sitting outside at the pub, late buses home, kissing in the street, making mixed tapes, going to Glastonbury, sleeping late, converse trainers, reading Jane Austen and Jilly Cooper, BBQ’s, A’level results! Thankfully I have blanked out completely the hell of working at Asda (the early morning shift 5.30am to 11am - ouch).
So what songs remind you of summer? And what do you love/hate?
Songs or sounds?
Songs:
Summertime, by Kenny Chesney
In the Summertime, by Mungo Jerry
Sunshine and Summertime, by Faith Hill
Sounds:
sprinklers turning on
Man, this post is making me want summer real soon. Because summer? Well, summer means the probability of Bradless and Madless and Arizona and all that good stuff.
Girl From Mars is my summer classic too! Haven’t heard the Adam and Joe show on the radio, must have a listen as I loved their tv show.
Kenny Chesney-No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems
This song says it all….it’s all about “SUMMER”!!!
Awwwwwwwwww….I just want to leave work, lay on the beach with a beer in one hand…ew, la, la!
I love to hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore line, I love walking the beach looking for sea glass, wet sand between my toes…
girlJordyn - Meant songs on Radio 1 they have a segment called sounds of the summer. But sounds are cool too especially the sprinklers.
Yvonne - yeah for Gilr form Mars. A and J are so funny sometimes my tummy hurts after listening, they have the best voices too anything they say sounds good.
Jeannie - okay I’ve ituning Kenny Chesney 2 votes after all! Oh I long for some summer at the moment as I sit here in the rain (okay the rains outside and I’m inside but you know what I mean!)
