Da Ugly Devil's Heaven

“I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69

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

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

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

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

Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69
Ah huhhhh.
It was the summer of ’69.
Oh. Yeah.
Yeah my baby it’s ‘69.
Ohhhh.
It was the summer
Summer
Summer of ’69…”

That’s the song that rocked and still rocks my mind whenever I listen to it. Amongst all of this supercool Canadian rock singer, “Summer of ‘69” song just rocks the most. I and my friends have sung this song so many times at picnics, get-together, gatherings, and most of the times when we are in our motorbike ride. It just rocks our brain out shouting out loud and rhyming the summer of 69. It’s something you gotta do to feel it. Just sing out loud with Mr. Adams in our heart. Though we weren’t even born in summer of ’69, we can feel what he means as we had been in those times where we’d feel the same like he felt in his ages.

Something about Summer of ’69:
The song was in the album called Reckless which was released in 1984. It was written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. And in 1985, the song became a smash hit in the US and was able to reach the #5 on the Billboard Top 100. It remained there for two weeks. As Mr. Adams got more popular in 1990s and 2000s, the song was hit all over the world.

This song is pretty old but still rocks in the present time of metal and hip hop age. Just touches the heart and makes us dance and jump and shout out loud. It is just awesome!
