Beginnings

Summer Starts

The beginning of summer is here. In honor of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, give us a song about the season. In addition to the season itself, think beach, sun, surfing, etc. Up to you if you want to play a Beach Boys song or not!

    This song was cool in high school, cool in college, and every June it’s still cool even though I never have to go to school again.

    I just love this song. He’s a true blue musician artist from the midwest. More people should know him.

    I thought this felt like a lot of the traditional surf/summer songs, but with a Springsteen take. The lyrics start about a minute in.
