Honour the summer contributions from Fruit Bats, Eggstone, Dave Sheinin, and The Kickstand Band online by clicking the hyperlinks. Well, I’ll still have the music to get me through the long cold Canadian months ahead. Summer, it seems like I hardly got to know you. The Isley Brothers were one of the first black groups to form their own label and managed, with the help of early member Jimi Hendrix, to inject rock influences into their music. Goosebump city indeed! But this time out I’m featuring their cover of Brian Hyland’s 1962 hit “Sealed with a Kiss.” Hard to improve on this classic but the Detroit duo do an impressive job: smooth, a bit eerie, with an innovative horn section instrumental interlude. Summer Breeze by The Isley Brothers: 16 in the UK Singles Chart. I love their sound, which oscillates between dabs of Beach Boys, Everly Brothers and Simon and Garfunkel vocal harmony influences combined with just a undercurrent of jagged punkiness.
Summer breeze song who sang it first full#
Over the course of their EPs and one full length album, I count no less than five songs with ‘summer’ in the title and host of others on related themes (e.g. If there was a contest for unofficial indie band of the summer, The Kickstand Band would definitely be in the running. Warning: hit play on the “The Lies of Summer” and you may be subject to a case of earworm that is hard to cure. Jessica Miller was in a GAP commercial with the Summer Breeze song. Now he’s back with a summer single that beautifully captures the wistful mixture of feelings that accompany the hot season. Seals and Crofts sang 'Summer Breeze' which has the lyrics:'.Blowing through the jasmine in my mind' When was Softly as a Summer Breeze created. His 2018 release First Thing Tomorrow had me reaching for the thesaurus to find new ways to describe how fabulous it was. Washington Post sports writer Dave Sheinin is also an accolade-collecting poprock songwriter and performer.
You’d think being an award winning sports writer would be enough? You’d be wrong. The song has a great set of AM radio hooks circa the late 1970s poprock scene. But my favourite tune from them has a bit tougher indie pop gloss on it, “Against the Sun” from their 1994 album Sommersault. Sweden’s Eggstone typically offer up a dreamy pop sound that leans heavily on summer themes over their three albums and five EPs from the 1990s. And the hooks! 2016’s comeback album (of sorts) Absolute Loser had so many highlights like “From a Soon-to-be Ghost Town” and the infectious banjo-driven “Humbug Mountain Song.” Now they’re back with Gold Past Life and get a load of the Cat Stevens-ish guitar picking on the beautiful single “Ocean.” It’s a song that builds slowly into a delightful, swirling summer set piece. I first heard Chicago’s Fruit Bats on their break out single “Rainbow Sign” from their 2003 album Mouthfuls and loved the mix of acoustic guitars, pianos and vocal harmonies. And the ‘back to school’ cacophony is reaching a fever pitch! So let’s honour the sun, sand and “move like a wayward summer breeze …” one more time! Nights getting a bit darker, a bit cooler.
Ah summer, you’re already starting to fade a bit on me.
