Summer of 69 - Vocal Cover by Mosi Hollywood (Bryan Adams)

Here is my version of Summer of 69 by Brian Adams. I chose this song for a cover because it is still so much fun, even after listening to it for an uncountable number of times :) Also, it is a good one for singing in the middle and upper chest voice area, which I have been putting some focus on recently.

I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did while recording this one, it is a true masterpiece and milestone in Rock 'n' Roll history.

Lyrics:

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the Five and Dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
Should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Hey!

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no!
Yeah!

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in a '69, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
