Spirit of summer songs
-
This always reminds me of summer, but it is a bit sad about remembering fond summer moments past. It is beautiful though.

Love this song.

What an awesome guitar lead in. -
Orange always feel like summer, all year round for me, especially memories of hanging out with one of my friends up in northern BC in ranch country where he lives, Nicola Valley, a couple summers ago! Close To You, In It For Love, Count On Me, and Sweet Lorraine especially some how felt so perfect driving along in the country.

And again what an awesome guitar lead in… -
Jung,
Thanks
Schools out was the National Anthem to us kids back in 1972…LOL…And yes I agree Orange is a master Piece of music in my eyes, I listen to it as much as I can. The arrangement of songs on that CD Is perfect, each one follows up on the one before and to end with still a friend of mine is a perfect end to a fabulous album, and a great follow up to their first album of original music. Jung can you imagine, not having the Mona Lisa Twins music in our lives? I can’t to be honest, I took my truck for an inspection today and the guy at the dealer said, hey who you listening to and I told him the Mona Lisa Twins and he said my god they sound great and I said hey check them out on U Tube and the grooviest place on the internet and he said I sure will, so we might have a new member soon to our club!!!
But on the Orange Album? My favorite track is Count on Me. I just love that song and they sound so wonderful and the music just flows and takes me back to the early 1970’s style of music that I fell in love with. 1970 to 1974 was a golden time for music and the song writing was peaking at that period of time. -
Hi Bill. I couldn’t imagine life without MLT and their music, and great to hear of the guy at the car dealership, you may have given him the most beautiful gift of music anyone could have, discovering MLT. Count on Me is such a timeless masterpiece, as is the whole album, in the caliber of something the Beatles or Joni Mitchell or S and G could write.
I came across this video pushed out to me today in youtube, and wow, it reminds of how I felt the first time I got my Mustang. I felt like that little girl in the video. Nothing epitomizes the spirit of summer and freedom like a mustang, especially a red convertible.
-
Wow great video Jung, thanks for sharing. I had many cars but the one I actually bought for the first time was a 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix sport model and I felt so great taking it for ride with the A/C on and my 8 track player playing Boston’s first album and cranking it as I was driving. But for sure the Mustang is a piece of American History.
-
Hi Bill, that must have felt incredibly sweeeeet, that first drive in that beautiful Grand Prix with Boston cranked up!

Okay, now I’m envious! I’ve never owned, driven, or even ridden in a “cool” car. My first car, a hand-me-down from my dad, was a 1979 Subaru station wagon, with a yellow exterior and brown plaid upholstery. Zero to 60 mph in 22 seconds flat!
-
LOL. David, my first car was a 70s Dodge Colt, and the body I think was more plaster than metal because of all the rust. If someone hit my car, I think it would have disintegrated into a cloud of white dust. It did 0 to 60 on a good day. 🙂
When he started to unlatch the soft top while they were moving, I was fearing a Mr Bean moment, with the top flying off!, but the top opened without any drama fortunately! 🙂
