Lyrics

Summer Song
She's been stepping on the pavement cracks down her street
Wondering why the summer's late again
Watching friendships drift away
Thinking of her better days
She's no idea how things ever got to be this way

Well time moves on, past her by
Leave her feeling all alone
High and dry
Walking 'round he same old spaces
Looking at the same old faces
She never meant for everything to end this way

She's been kicking over stones to find the way home
But there's nothing there she's never seen before
Life slips by so easily
You're just a ring within the tree
That you must climb
To make your way
To where you want to be

	groovy It has a nice late 1960's feel to it but also sounds fresh. Everything sounds professional, from performance to mix. Nice job. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	Along the same lines There is something familiar about this and new at the same time. Well written and performed. Great sounding tune. Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	interesting Seems like a lot of compression on the drums and a sort of top-heavy overall EQ, but brilliant singing. The little electric break was nice surprise. Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

	Really good song I think you've nailed the vibe you were after perfectly. If I were nitpicking, I'd have 8 less bars of guitar solo in there. It's a top tune, made me happy. Check out my latest song called Clown

	Wow Reminds me of `Boy With The Arab Strap` era Belle and Sebastian. And what a fantastic band they were then (and are again now) Well done on this -you`ve pretty much nailed the sound perfectly. Great tune, well performed - practice it hard all spring in time for the summer, eh. This one I`ll add to my favorites. 9-9-8-9 Check out my latest song called Twice

Like that sound
Nice voice.
Like the guitar arpeggios
I like those high voicings:)
Harmonies blend well.
Lyrics seem to fit in well
The drums seem real:) Maybe they are:)
The tune gets even more interesting toward the end.
Really. i hear some nice Allman Brothers stuff in there
Especially towards the end (not quite at the end.

Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	Great track Can't really come up with much to say as I wish I could. But I really enjoyed this one. Great upbeat tempo, maked me want to hop in the car, put the top down and cruise! Extra kudos to your vocal sound, quite unique and makes the song stand out in originality. Faved and Downloaded. Check out my latest song called With You

	summer song indeed cool tune... hints of 'ian brodie' and 'The La's' - cool Check out my latest song called Kaleidoscope (Single)

	Great on a gloomy day like today Solid retro style 60s rock, reminds me of the Monkeys era, with all the fun and lightness and solid writing. A breath of summer on a cold a gloomy day. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

beachhead of youth and memories
really great tune, full of sunshine. to my ear (i can only hear out of one, the other isn't there) it seemed too compressed, everything crushed around the mids, and i really like your voice and would like it louder, more like a pop music mix. in fact, this is a great pop tune and maybe should go into that genre. tight, professional, perfect playing. left me thinking about the beach!

Check out my latest song called Rock The Baby With Voodoo (w/Tobin)

	Head's boppin side to side Fun, light tune. Yea, this is a drive with the top down track. Well produced. Has that thin early 60's mix which fits this well. Love the vocals and then that guitar riff, quite fitting. Herman Hermits meets Blue Oyster Cult. Nice job.....still bopping! Check out my latest song called Jazz Praise

nyakki	nyakki said 1744 days ago (February 15th, 2005)
	Nice I liked the song. I wanted the voice brought out more. Nice guitar solo in the middle. Downloaded. Check out my latest song called Maple Leaf Rag v2

	A new favourite MacJammer! I love your work, mate. Great sound; great voice; great recording. This is the sort of thing I look for when I listen to MacJams songs. I don't download many (because it takes about half an hour on my connection) but I'm downloading this! Only change I would make: a bit less intro. Check out my latest song called Fine

Truth42	Truth42 said 1744 days ago (February 16th, 2005)
	This is great This has a really Kirsty MaColl feel to it. Like 'Walking Down Madison'. A really excellent song with great musicianship and harmonies. Great stuff! Check out my latest song called Hide And Seek

	A bit overcompressed? If you're just trying to make it REAL LOUD, please don't... Good song, bad production. Check out my latest song called Tecmo Superbowl 2009 w/ Dead End (MJRF 2004)

	Another Gem Very nice. I usually stay in the Electronic Genres but I was so impressed by "Song For Trish And Tilly" I had to come over here and see what else you've cooked up. I'm very glad I did. Your music moves me... Check out my latest song called Corporate Presentation
