THE SUMMER BEAT
OUT NOW
‘i hear the summer beat coming, the breeze is moving fast
My hair is blowing in the wind, cars are rushing past
Cold drink in my hand, toes in the sand
Got all the time in the world to go out and listen to the band’
Fantastic Fives with Scott Nicol at Troon Primary
I had the amazing privilege of helping to write an original song with some brilliant pupils and teachers from Troon Primary School Ayrshire this May 2022.
The song ‘The Summer Beat’ is now available for download on all major platforms. The P5 pupils were just outstanding in their lyrics, creativity and enthusiasm. They wanted to write about the Summer and we absolutely caught that vibe. The beat, the music, the lyrics, the feeling of ‘Dancing along the water like diamonds’… it’s all there!!
They decided to call themselves ‘Fantastic Fives’ which indeed they are.
I brought in the wonderful Jamie Clark to record them and he has done a great job mixing and playing on the track. The kids just loved the whole experience of writing, singing, recording and helping design the artwork and we loved it and had so much fun. I need to thanks Mr Paterson and Mr Sturdy for all their encouragement and hard work and thanks very much to the Troon Parent Association for making it happen.
I hope you download the track and just enjoy the ‘Summer in your bones when the rain cools down.’
Thanks everyone, enjoy and have a great Summer xx
LYRICS
1.
I feel the summer air when I wake up in the morning
Neon explosions in the summer evening
Dancing along the water, dancing like diamonds
My life feels like a swallow, soaring in the sky
Chorus
I hear the summer beat coming, the breeze is moving fast
My hair is blowing in the wind, cars are rushing past
Cold drink in my hand, toes in the sand
Got all the time in the world to go out and listen to the band
2.
This is a summer song, c’mon everybody sing along, sing along
Summer commotion. There is so much emotion
Living the dream, sunshine and sweet ice cream oh yeah
My life feels like a swallow, soaring in the sky
Chorus
Summer’s in my bones, the rain cools down x 4
My life is like a swallow, soaring in the sky
Chorus
