“Gold In The Summertime” is the lead single from Matt Nathanson’s ninth studio album. Upon its release on YouTube on May 26, 2015, Nathanson described the song as being one that he always wanted to make:
I’ve always wanted a song like this. One that grooves super hard… in a kind of 70s soul way. Ho...
Summertime, summertime, summertime
I gotta get that feeling
Summertime, summertime, summertime
[Verse 1]
It's too hot to sleep; laughing in the heat
We lay together and watch the sky turn on
Sirens come in waves up the fire escape
Every shadow disappearing into dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, let's keep this going
I wanna go all in
We'll never be lonely in the dark
[Chorus 1]
Nobody loves you
The way that I do
The way you shine through
Gold in the summertime
[Post-Chorus]
Summertime, summertime, summertime
I gotta get that feeling
Summertime, summertime, summertime
I gotta get that feeling
[Verse 2]
We could dodge the rain in some museum cafe
Or run together til the storm clouds all get gone
Wander through the streets; F train to the beach
Be in love with being young, dazzling, and lost
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
Rooftop in SoHo
Prince on the radio
The city streets glow
Gold in the summertime
[Post-Chorus]
[Bridge]
Oh, let me disappear in your love, your love
Oh, just to be so near to your love, real love
[Post-Chorus]
[Chorus 1] + [Chorus 2]
[Post-Chorus]
