Sing-Sing - Feels Like Summer
Today’s track is curated by Shane Richmond / @shanerichmond
It would have been easier to pick ten songs that represent summer than to come up with just one. I tried to resist choosing a song with ‘summer’ or ‘sunshine’ in the title but I just couldn’t do it. All the great songs I could think of that say summer to me are ones where the singer is experiencing summer too. (Moreover, there was always a singer; as I scoured my record collection not one instrumental track set off my internal summer alarm.)
Still, this track isn’t entirely literal. The song, as the title says, feels like summer, specifically it feels like one of those laidback Sixties summers. It’s not about an actual summer though, but the feeling of summer. Singer Lisa O’Neill is dumping you, listener, and the feeling that gives her is the same feeling that she gets from summer. And a good summer, I think she means, rather than the dreary, grey one I’m experiencing now as I write this with - no joke - the heating on.
