You Bring The Summer — The Monkees

Não é de hoje que deixo clara a minha admiração pela obra dos Monkees. Suas canções eram compostas por alguns dos maiores talentos musicais da época (e de todos os tempos) e os músicos que as gravavam eram a nata dos que transitavam nos estúdios de gravação.

O último disco da banda — Good Times (2016) — é mais um bom exemplo de que a fórmula continua funcionando muito bem. You Bring The Summer é um dos muitos highlights do CD e o vídeo promocional é pra lá de simpático.

You Bring The Summer (Andy Partridge)

I’ll bring the chips
and the dips
and root beer
Even though dark purple
rain clouds are near
When you come around
you bring the Summer

I’ll lay the basket and blanket out neat
Even though weathermen
say there’ll be sleet
When you come around
you bring the Summer

Summer poorer sad old snowman
freezing in his room
Summer from your clear blue skies
will melt away the winters gloom

I’ll bring the sun cream
and beach volleyball
Even though there is no sand here at all
When you come around
you bring the Summer

When you come around
you bring the summer

Summer poorer sad old Jack Frost
trying to warm his toes
Summer from your golden smile
will paint the snow drops pinky rose

The birds and the bees will fly around me
even though we’re deep in January
When you come around
you bring the Summer

I know with one bound
you bring the Summer

When you come around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around
(Baby!)

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around
