(I've been spending this week writing and recording several new summer anthems at KBOO Community Radio's studio room, and am happy to announce the first of the three has been completed, available both for MP3 download via the link below, and streaming at my MySpace page via my MP3 playlist.

The musical aspect of the track is NOT in way related to me, LOL, but I received the artist's blessing to sample it and believe it blends well great with the vocals to offer a sort of laid-back, hearthy, pastoral summer feeling. I performed all the production, mixing, vocals and lyrics to the track (I included the background nature sounds! )

I am writing and recording two other tracks currently that will also be up in the very near future, so stay tuned for futher updates! )


Innocence Of Summer
By: Noah Eaton
8/22/07

Feels like years since it’s been this warm outside,
watching the summer sun and butterflies hang glide,
skipping like a child to a snow cone stand,
immersing my toes in the white, majestic sand.

I can never remember skies this blue,
that’s how I know my love for you is true,
we even drew a huge heart on the warm sidewalk,
with our initials in it with a piece of chalk.

Each and every day,
you are the innocence of summer,
each and every night,
your summer magic encumbers,
forever and a day,
I swear there’s no other,
you bring sunshine to my life,
my summertime lover.

Sunrises glare with cherry limeade afterglow,
sunsets project all kinds of cosmic picture shows,
young love keeps kissing my cheek like a ladybug,
holding my dream girl close, dancing the bunny hug.

I can never remember days this bright,
you set my heart flying like a painted kite,
we even got soaked playing Crazy Daisy,
you have a zest for life when the days are lazy, cuz.

Each and every day,
you are the innocence of summer,
each and every night,
your summer magic encumbers,
forever and a day,
I swear there’s no other,
you bring sunshine to my life,
my summertime lover.

It's an instant vacation with you at the soda shop,
sweeter than maraschino cherries and gumdrops,
I see an Elysium of fireflies,
and meteor showers when I look into your lovely eyes...

Each and every day,
you are the innocence of summer,
each and every night,
your summer magic encumbers,
forever and a day,
I swear there’s no other,
you bring sunshine to my life,
my summertime lover.

pastoral summer feeling What a great definition, dear Noah! That is exactly what it feels like when listening to your poetic and musical creations!

I reach out with a big hug, you are a sunny boy dear Noah, who captures the beauty and reflects it powerfully.

Innocence of Summer is a perfect title for your sweet performance.

Love,
Margherita

The background nature sounds really added to the summery, pastoral feeling of the song.

"I can never remember skies this blue,"

~ Loved that line! It sets the tone for the rest of the song!

I could feel the energy in your singing. It conveyed your vitality and enthusiasm ~ which is lacking in so many people! All they need to do is plug into your verve and elan and they'll be up, up, and away! lol

You are a very sweet person, Noah.

Your "Space Page" is so colourful and informative and its a great place for people to go to get to know you better! ~ and to know you, is to love you!

Much love coming your way,

Linda
