Day 3. A song that reminds me of summertime
The Grateful Dead are my all time favourite band. Period.
And this is one of their songs I like best, it definitely reminds me of summertime, as to my perspective, it speaks about a music festival. ☺️
I was used to listen to this specific song after every trance party I went to, on the way home, still tripping my ass off, and it made me sooo happy! A song that is able to capture the spirit of a good party, a good festival, in such a beautiful and accurate way! Amazing. ☺️
Lyrics
There's mosquitoes on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now,
Did you hear what I just heard?
Say it might have been a fiddle
or it could have been the wind
But there seems to be a beat now
I can feel it my feet now
Listen here it comes again!
There's a band out on the highway,
They're high steppin' into town
It's a rainbow full of sound,
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody dancin'!
C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands.
Sun went down in honey
and the moon came up in wine,
You know stars were spinnin' dizzy,
Lord, The band kept us too busy
we forgot about the time.
They're a band beyond description,
Like Jehovah's favorite choir
People joining hand in hand
While the music played the band,
Lord, They're setting us on fire.
Crazy rooster crowin' midnight,
Balls of lightin' roll along
Old men sing about their dreams,
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playin' on.
Keep on dancin' thru the daylight,
Greet the mornin' air with song
No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone.
Was it ever there at all?
But they keep on dancin'!
C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands
Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday,
And the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancin'
Full of singin' and romancin'
The music never stopped...

blues for allah is probably their greatest album in my opinion, great choice for a summer music, this may be my favorite song of all times.
