Summer Sun
Jamestown Massacre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When darkness filled my life she brought the summer sun to me
She brightened up my world and helped me see
Every-time I was lonesome and once she came and took me from
I'm not the same since she has come my way

Summer Sun was shining down on me
Summer sun was all that I could see
Summer sun was shining down on me

When that summer sun came shining down my way
I grew to love it more and more each day
I'm alive because I met her suddenly my life is better
I can see I'll never let her go

Summer Sun was shining down on me
Summer sun was all that I could see
Summer sun was shining down on me

Da da da da da da da

When that winter sun comes shining down on me
Happiness is more than memory
Even though the snow has covered all the ground
I've discovered she's around and I still love her today

Summer Sun was shining down on me
Summer sun was all that I could see
Summer sun was shining down on me





Da da da da da da da

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Summer Sun" by Jamestown Massacre speak of a woman who brought light and warmth into the singer's life, metaphorically represented by the summer sun. The darkness in the singer's life is alluded to, suggesting that he may have been struggling with depression or other personal issues. However, the arrival of this woman transformed his world and helped him to perceive life in a brighter and more positive way. The lyrics describe a deep gratitude and love for this person, who is seen as the source of life and happiness for the singer.


The chorus is particularly memorable, with its repetition of the phrase "Summer Sun was shining down on me." This repetition reinforces the idea of the woman being a shining light in the singer's life, and suggests a feeling of warmth and comfort that the singer experiences in her presence. The use of the word "memory" toward the end of the song suggests that the singer has experienced some measure of loss or separation from this person in the past, but she remains a cherished presence in his life.


Overall, "Summer Sun" is a romantic and nostalgic song that speaks to the power of human connections to bring light and warmth into our lives. It is a song about the transformative power of love, and the hope that it can provide even in the darkest of times.
