Summer Love (70s/80s pop) - Mr. Mom, Mimmo, Studioplayer, Stoman

[stoman]

I am pleased to say that I finally have a song where Dave was a member of the virtual band!

And John, I think this was the first of my own songs that the two of us collaborated on too, right?

Thanks to Mimmo, Dave and John for making this song possible!

Summer Love

Lyrics: John Scunziano
Vocals: Domenico Mercurio
Guitars: David Patterson, Domenico Mercurio
Composed by Steffen Offermann and Domenico Mercurio
Mixed & mastered by Steffen Offermann

Summer Love, feels so good on a sunny day
Summer Love, feels so good on a sunny day

One love feels so good to me
Ev'ry day feels like a dream
Walking on a sandy beach
One love that is all I need

Summer Love, feels so good on a sunny day
Summer Love, feels so good on a sunny day

True love that is what I feel
Floating, wonder if it's real

Making castles in the sand
Sunsets walking hand in hand
Weekends they are so carefree
Spent with someone so lovely

Summer Love, feels so good on a sunny day
Summer Love, feels so good on a sunny day

Summer Love
Summer Love
Summer Love
Summer Love

Regards,

Very cool song and production guys, love the feel. Great cruising song.... could imagine this as the soundtrack to an advert or in a film... excellent start to a Friday evening

[Mimmo]

Great mix Steffen.

[Mr. Mom]

Sounds nice Steffen/Mimmo/Dave

@Steffen - Yep, this is your first song I participated in that made it to the finished forum, but it isn't our first.

Maybe some of the guys would like to revisit any of these other 3 that we tinkered around with:

Very cool song guys, crazy arrangement, very well put together... Nice mix... Are you using a Prophet synth, Steffen?

[stoman]

Thanks for listening!

No, Paulo, I don't have a prophet. But I may have used a Prophet patch from the OP-X Pro-II. I don't remember.

I only wish the drums were better ... My synth drums always sound stiff and boring.

  Steffen

[Paulo]

OK, that's a Prophet 5 sound you got there. That OP-X Pro-II, reproduces the sound of many 80's synths including te Prophet, Roland Junho series, and a bunch more.

[stoman]

And it does it really well. That's the reason why I bought it.

My latest toy beats them all though: Onmnisphere. The only problem is that I have no idea how to use it.

[Paulo]

I got Atmosphere from spectrasonic, many year ago... Omnisphere is un update, I think, and I never updated it. but Spectrasonic got maybe the best sounding VST'i available.

[Studioplayer]

Thanks for letting me play on this. It was a nice groove to play too. I really like Mimmo's vocals on this. Has a bit of Roy Orbison vibe to it.  I think it turned out quite well once all was said and done. Sounds good here in my studio.

I think it's the first impact, after reading the manual, you'll learn how to deal with it.

Maybe somebody should give them a little bump to the top.

[Mr. Mom]

Mimmo will have a good start towards a "Summertime" album with this song, combined with "August Nights" and "Sailing".
