Summertime
Ephemeral Echoes: Embracing Memories of Summertime Vibes
Lyrics
Here comes the summertime, the feeling's in the air.
Anticipation of summertime, a season marked by a distinct atmosphere.
I remember cigarettes, tube socks, sun burns and long blond hair.
Recollection of specific summer experiences involving cigarettes, tube socks, sunburns, and long blond hair.
Here comes the summertime, yeah it's coming soon.
Confirmation that summertime is approaching.
I remember living upstairs, drinking iced-tea and swimming pools.
Reflecting on past memories of living upstairs, enjoying iced tea, and being around swimming pools.
And the feeling doesn't last that long.
Acknowledgment that the joyful feeling associated with summertime is transient.
Before you know it, it's up and gone, oh yeah.
Expressing how quickly the summertime feeling fades away.
The things we do…
A vague reference to unspecified actions or experiences during the summer.
In the summertime, yeah it's coming soon.
Reiteration of the imminent arrival of summertime.
I remember watermelon, finger banging, purple rain and being cool.
Recalling summer moments involving watermelon, finger banging, purple rain, and the pursuit of being cool.
Here comes the summertime, the feeling's in the air.
Restating the arrival of summertime and the prevailing feeling in the air.
I remember drive-ins, soap operas, fireworks and county fairs.
Nostalgia for past experiences, including drive-ins, soap operas, fireworks, and county fairs.
And the feeling doesn't last that long.
Reiteration that the ephemeral nature of the summertime feeling.
Before you know it, it's up and gone, oh yeah.
Emphasizing how quickly the positive summertime sentiment disappears.
The things we do…
Repeating the mention of unspecified actions or experiences during the summer.
In the summertime.(x4)
Affirmation of various experiences and emotions associated with summertime, repeated four times for emphasis.
(end with scatting)
Ending the lyrics with scatting, a vocal improvisation without specific lyrics, possibly indicating the carefree and spontaneous nature of summer.
