about
One day, at my parents house where they live in this beautiful mountain range north of Sydney, I was noodling on the piano and it was SO hot, like 40 degrees celsius/100 degrees Fahrenheit. We were trying to cool off with fans and swims but just couldn’t find a cool spot. So, I kept noodling on the piano trying to ignore the heat, when my dad, who never had told me he wrote lyrics, just handed me a sheet of words he wrote, called Summer Heat. I put chords and a melody to them, and voila, we wrote a song together. It’s taken me 20 years to produce the song. I’m going to make my dad proud.
lyrics
Summer Heat
1. Summer rising beyond the heat
Swimming, playing, water is a treat
Cooler, softer, guitar mellows sweet
Fragrance of the coconut, feel the heat
Chorus
Summer heat, higher and higher
Swimming here deeper and deeper
Cooler breezes softer and softer
You and me here in paradise
Summer heat, higher and higher
Swimming here deeper and deeper
Cooler breezes softer and softer
You and me here in paradise
Summer Heat...
2. Lovers, together, waves on the shore
Sandy bottoms, fish to explore
Breezes, oh gentle breezes softer than before
Life of the lazy, I want more
Chorus
