Cold Summer's Night
from Forests and Fields by The Pleasants
about
Mike began writing this song in the Comtois' living room and finished it in his Vermont living room. Once finished, he and Amanda recorded a one-mic demo of it late at night in their kitchen under dim lamp-light. The demo was well received and sparked the recording of their album, "Forests and Fields".
lyrics
Cold Summer's Night
Cold summer's night as we walk along
We feel the wind but we ignore it's song
I can't see how she can't see that
The beating of her heart belongs to me
Belongs to me
The earth's my heart and the sky's my dreams
The wind's my breath and my veins are streams
And in her eyes a deep blue sea that
Washes over me and sets me free
Sets me free
Cold summer's night as we walk along
We feel the wind but we ignore it's song
I can't see how she can't see that
The beating of her heart belongs to me
Belongs to me
The earth's my heart and the sky's my dreams
The wind's my breath and my veins are streams
And in her eyes a deep blue sea that
Washes over me and sets me free
Sets me free

about
The Pleasants Vermont
“Always nicely sung in duet, almost shoulder to shoulder to support each other in their ongoing heartache. Some moments remind you of Neil Young and Co., Iron & Wine, Scott Matthew, Bon Iver, or Fleet Foxes. Though it is not necessary to hammer out the comparisons, with their beautiful singing, [The Pleasants] are in a league all their own.” whiskey-soda.de ... more
