Topic: The Boys of Summer (song)


  
  The Boys of Summer (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is widely speculated that the song is about the passing of youth and entering middle age, with the obvious theme of 'summer love' apparent in the choruses, and of reminiscence of a past relationship.
Shot completely in fl-and-white, it shows the 'main character' of the song at three different stages of life (as a young boy, a young adult and middle-aged), in each case reminiscing about the past relationship.
The song was also performed by Codeseven, an alternative-metal band, on their 1998 album A Sense of Coalition.

And just as a sidenote, when he is talking about the boys of summer it doesn't have anything to do with homosexuality and for that matter the song itself can be interpreted as heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual love.
This song has confirmed my suspicions that the ataris (pronounced at-er-iss) are one of the worst bands to ever be on tha radio, and that means something.
This song is all right, in fact this is the most allright song to come of the pop industry since the last allright cover which came out of the pop industry.

The "Boys of Summer" were the American troops who went to Europe in the latter stages of WW2 to expedite the end of the war on the German Nazis.
Their songs are a total rarity these days, in that they have real lyrics with actual meanings and that they aren't afraid to take stands on social and political issues.
"After the boys of summer have gone" seems to represent that fall in one's life when one knows that their best days are behind them, but still clings on to the wonderful memories which they will always ahve.

 CNN.com - Billboard's hottest 'summer' songs - Jul 28, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
LOS ANGELES, California (Billboard) -- When it comes to the charts, summer is not just a season, but a state of mind: Some of the biggest hits with "Summer" in the title have peaked in the dead of winter.
The song had a second go at No. 1 when it was sampled in "Stutter," a 2001 chart-topper for Joe Featuring Mystikal.
While the lyrics were inspired by his visit to Hawaii, he says he wrote the song as a theme to the summer love you cannot have because you go your separate ways in the fall (even though he and Rhodes were married after their trip).

 Amazon.co.uk: Beach Boys Today/Summer Days and Summer Nights: Music: Beach Boys   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Although other Beach Boys albums have received greater critical acclaim, TODAY is almost unbeatable for its high percentage of unpretentious, infectious two-minute pop songs.
Original songs yielded four American A-side hits, these being When I grow up, Help me Rhonda (a number one), California girls (one of their most famous songs) and The little girl I once knew.
The cream of pre-Pet Sounds Beach Boys, these two albums prove that musically, early Beach Boys music was far more advanced than early Beatles music, which in my opinion is a bit overrated (don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but their post Rubber Soul stuff is far better than their earlier stuff).

 Summer Of '69 by Bryan Adams Songfacts
Bryan Adams didn't write the song and his partner on the song was nineteen in 1969.
In fact i personally think it ruins the song in a way that its not a line that should be said when he is talking about old memories, etc. Obviously has just sung it because it went together with the tittle.
When hearing this song I always believed that the idea was the kid who got his first six-string went to Woodstock, admired those on stage and thus went and bought a guitar for himself.

 The Boys of Summer
Back then, Chris and his friends were a tightly-knit group known as the Boys of Summer.
Together they had been a typical group of boys who loved to hang out together on the beach, swimming, playing volleyball, and watching the petty girls.
But it wasn’t until a bright summer day when he saw her in her new bikini that he realized what a striking lady the young girl had turned into.

 Zombie Pirate Ninja Monkey : The Boys of Summer
You can even shoe-horn this song into a sort of sonata structure, with the exposition comprising a first and second group (although the transposition is not between the normal tonic and dominant).
The codetta is missing here (but appears near the end of the song), but it is not a universal element in any case.
For Rom-Com songs that still make me long for times past then I'm a sap for Bruce Springsteen's "Secret Garden" from the movie "Jerry Maguire" (it's Cameron Crowe, the man is a master a picking out songs for soundtracks to his films).

The month of June is the traditional start of the season when young, and the young at heart, cruise around in their cars, blaring their favorite pop songs, said Richard Aquila, a history professor and former host of the weekly National Public Radio show "Rock and Roll America."
Aquila has compiled his own personal list of top summer songs that can make any event fun.
However, he warns that the songs should be played loud enough so your grill is shaking, but not loud enough for your neighbors to call the realtor.

I highly recommend this CD for fans of The Beach Boys (obviously), people who want to try out a Beach Boys CD, fans of pop as well as the bands from the 1960's in general.
These songs are constants of the oldies-radio format, especially during the summer.
Endless Summer stayed within that early three year period and the programming of the album is perfect(even though they used the inferior LP version of Help Me Ronda).

we've pretty much finished up four out of the five songs now, with quite a bit to go on the fifth - it's looking like it's going to be an october release for the album by the time we get everything together.
i was feeling kind of down about it until i realized that we're really only about halfway through the process - it's hard to remind yourself that these songs aren't finished yet and there's more work to be done.
the song in the title of this post has been the object of my obsession, song-wise, of late.

If the subject of the song is Jaret Wright, then really, it's a 'he', not a 'she', so we'll just figure that the Bee Gees were ahead of their time in using a female pronoun to describe someone who may or may not have been female.
While hopefully Jaret hasn't been making love to anyone in the Yankees front office, but the announcement of his signing did come at night, as the official news archive story on mlb.com shows 12:59PM as its posting time.
