"Summertime" Lyrics

4.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
Hey, that last summer day
When we hung out
I thought that it would last forever
You, knew it wasn't true
I ignored all the clues
Then I lost her to your weather

If I'd known what I know now
Wouldn't be surprised
Would of realised
What I realise

In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
You took her away from me

Hey, the clouds have come around
How does that sound
Knowing you won't last forever
Leaves, are all falling down
And she's not 'round
Why couldn't we have worked together

If I'd known what I know now
Wouldn't be surprised
Of this demise
What I realise

In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime

As winter gets colder
The winds gettin' bolder
Just run and hide
Why don't you run and hide

Yeah I don't wanna see your face anymore
Don't you come round here anymore

In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
You took her away from me

Thanks to feel

About"Summertime" is a song written by Greg Johnston and Andy Stochansky, and recorded by Brian Melo for his first album Livin' It (2007). It was released as the album's third single in Canada in 2008.

This is Brian's third single from his debut album. However, the song failed to chart on the Canadian Hot 100. The fourth single from the album, "Back to Me," also failed to chart.

Australian singer Shannon Noll covered the song in 2008 and released it as the first single from his first compilation album No Turning Back: The Story So Far (2008). It was released as a digital download on August 23, 2008, and as a CD single on September 13, 2008, in Australia.

On September 14, 2008, the track debuted at number eighteen on the ARIA Australian Artist Chart based on downloads alone. The following week, the single debuted at number fifty-four on the Australian Singles Chart.

An open call for extras for the video was published on the Sony/BMG Music (Australia) website and via Noll's official mailing list. Originally scheduled to shoot on August 28 (for a September 6 premiere), filming was postponed a week, taking place on September 5, 2008. The video was scheduled to premiere on rage's Saturday morning line-up on September 13, 2008, the day of the CD Single's release, but was postponed due to being incomplete. It finally saw its premiere on September 25, 2008 via Sony BMG's official online musicbox.

The video has received many negative reviews, most aimed at director Anthony Rose, who is criticized for producing the same type of video that incorporates overuse of extras representing fans. The Sydney Morning Herald also stated their dislike when they printed a review on September 26, 2008 that stated: "Why Sony continues to hire Rose to direct is beyond us. His consistent use of the tacky looking fan backdrop is almost laughable while simultaneously looking forced, bordering on 'try-hard'. How many more of these unbearable videos can Noll have under his belt before someone in management or PR realizes he's looking like a pretentious punch with no credibility. Noll is both capable and worthy of much more. The video for "Summertime" was Noll's last video to be directed by Rose.
