Description
I took a back seat on this one. Will sent me a track he recorded on his H2 playing guitar and singing this tune. It sounded great and I thought it would be nice to do something different with it than my usual production. I had previously asked paul f. page if he would ever consider collaborating - I love his music and think he's extremely talented and creative - and so I sent him Will's track with liberty to do as he liked.
The result is what you have here with his piano, bass, strings, and harmonica arrangement. All I did was add a single electric guitar track, chimes, and a backing vocal. Hats off to Will and Paul - I love what they've done together - hope you like it too.

Lyrics
Back in my old neighborhood
Brick walls retained the heat
Night was like an oven cooling
The hot sun’s long retreat
Men sat on their patios
Drank their sweaty beers
Listened to the ball game
The thin transistor cheers
Blue light from the tv’s
Bathed the narrow street
Women kicked their shoes off
Eased their aching feet
Summer in the city
the days when we were young
Summer in the city
Our lives had just begun
We’d meet beneath the street lamp
Sneak a cigarette
Boast about our hitting
The girls we planned to get
One by one we’d wander home
In the still and humid dark
Plan to meet tomorrow
On the ball field in the park
Laying on the bed at night
Praying for a breeze
Finally drifting off to sleep
Tangled in our sheets
Summer in the city
The days when we were young
Summer in the city
Our lives had just begun

Brick walls retained the heat
Night was like an oven cooling
The hot sun’s long retreat
Men sat on their patios
Drank their sweaty beers
Listened to the ball game
The thin transistor cheers
Blue light from the tv’s
Bathed the narrow street
Women kicked their shoes off
Eased their aching feet
Summer in the city
the days when we were young
Summer in the city
Our lives had just begun
We’d meet beneath the street lamp
Sneak a cigarette
Boast about our hitting
The girls we planned to get
One by one we’d wander home
In the still and humid dark
Plan to meet tomorrow
On the ball field in the park
Laying on the bed at night
Praying for a breeze
Finally drifting off to sleep
Tangled in our sheets
Summer in the city
The days when we were young
Summer in the city
Our lives had just begun
