Yeah, yeah, mhm
You know that you should be my boy

In the heat of the summer
You're so different from the rest
You know, you know, you know
Yeah ooh, ooh ooh

Ooh, yeah yeah

"Summer" by BROCKHAMPTON is a song that explores the feeling of infatuation during the summer season. The lyrics talk about how the person the singer is addressing should be with him during the summer because they are different from the rest. The repetition of the phrase "You know that you should be my boy" emphasizes the singer's desire for this person and almost pleading for them to be with him. The line, "You're so different from the rest," implies that the singer feels a strong connection with this person, and that they stand out from others.
The heat of the summer can be a metaphor for passion and desire. The singer wants to spend time with this person and build a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "You know" reinforces the singer's belief that the other person feels the same way. The use of "boy" in the lyrics is interesting, as it can have multiple meanings. It could refer to a romantic partner or simply a close friend. The song also implies a longing for connection and companionship during the summer.

@Esther Chung I've been there before a few times, in front of a much smaller crowd than a festival, but still enough to get your nerves going... It's a mix of many emotions, but most of all it's exhilarating, scary, and the most exciting/fun thing ever.
It's like what I imagine adrenaline junkies get out of crazy extreme sports. The best part is when you forget the crowd is there, close your eyes a little, and just feel the music and your audience all intertwined at once in this beautiful moment of human experience.
I really miss it. I haven't been in a full blown band since I was 18, 24 now. I've done a few solo vocal performances here and there since then, most were karaoke, but with a live band at a bar that musicians frequent. It's different from going up and singing over a crappy midi to a trailer trash crowd that doesn't know or care about the radiohead song you're singing to the best of your ability and would rather hear Sweet Child of Mine (not that that's bad, I'm down for some rowdy, shitty, drunken karaoke too, that's a blast). Live band karaoke, at the right bar, is like renting a band for a performance basically, because if you know your shit, you can coordinate with them and do stuff like ask the bassist doing the vocal harmonies to sing the lows so you can take the high part, and they add to the legitimacy of it being a musical cover performance, not just a bar activity.
I honestly want to make a living and life out of it (music creation and performance, not karaoke lol)
Sharing music and performing and creating music are such incredible, visceral experiences for me. I've really been letting myself slip into the sad lifestyle of working full time at a grocery store and hating every hour of it, just to pay bills. At 24, that just doesn't feel right.
I don't expect to ever get to where Brockhampton or Bearface are, but they are and always have been a huge inspiration for me, being musicians about my age that started from scratch and made it by just pouring their souls into their music.
