Summer of love

Story Behind The Song

A typical tale of holiday romance fading painfully into a sad memory.The track charts the evolution of heartbreak .Begining with romantic reminiscing & ending with longing, loss & regret. One late evening after swapping tales of relationship woe & downing 3 bottles of red wine :Tim knocked up a backing track & coaxed a tearjerking performance out of Sonya in 3 hours flat and yes it was a (rare) hot summer's night in London town!

Song Description

A sleek, sublime, soul stirring R & B ballad. A haunting melody & emotive vocals add pathos & drama to a supercool production.Tragic. The beefy bottom end combines with subtle old school balladeering to make a chilled out cut that's happening, but heartbreaking nonetheless.

Lyrics by Sonya Roche-Duncan

V1
Summer of love
Do you remember
I never knew
It could be so good
Summer of love
We were riding on a breeze, riding on a breeze
Like we never should

Chorus 1
And now, its the autumn of our dreams
The leaves are from the trees
And your gone from me
Summer, its the autumn of our dreams
And your gone from me

V2
Summer of love
late in September
Green has turned to gold
Like the birds we must fly, (fly)
Summer of love
Ooh when I learnt how to cry
Knew the meaning of pain
Hopes and dreams, they go bye (bye)

Chorus 2 x 2
Summer (again and again
We break the link in the chain,
With all the joy and the pain
The feelings remain the same)
ItÂ?s the autumn of our dreams
And youÂ?re gone from me

Middle 8
Summer , I never knew, never knew
Could be so good
Summer of love

Chorus 2

Verse 2 (reprise)
Adlib
Fade
