Summer Nights
Night And Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was changed by just a song
On the radio and in my car
The pounding of an electric guitar
Then the time came to make our stand
We started up a four-piece band
And the heat felt like spotlights
Ooh hot summer nights
Ooh hot summer nights
Return with me to when times were best
We were friends that could pass any test
Shared our hopes, our dreams, our goals
And the fundamental rolls
As we sang in the dark rooms
Happy just to play our tunes
It felt good when we got it right
It felt good on a hot summer night
Ooh hot summer nights
Ooh hot summer nights
So it lives and it always will
The songs we sung are in us still
Ringing out with all of their might
In the heat of a hot summer night
Ooh hot summer nights
Ooh hot summer nights

There was a time not too far gone
Reflecting on a past moment that was not long ago
When I was changed by just a song
A single song had the power to transform me
On the radio and in my car
The song played everywhere, from my car to the radio
The pounding of an electric guitar
The electric guitar was the driving force of the song's power
Then the time came to make our stand
There was a moment when we had to take action and make our mark
We started up a four-piece band
We formed a band with four members
And the heat felt like spotlights
The intensity of the heat made it feel like we were under a spotlight
In the heart of a hot summer night
All of this happened in the middle of a hot summer night
Return with me to when times were best
Let's reminisce on the good times
We were friends that could pass any test
As friends, we were able to overcome any challenge
Shared our hopes, our dreams, our goals
We openly communicated our aspirations and intentions with one another
And the fundamental rolls
We played our individual roles in the band, contributing to something bigger
As we sang in the dark rooms
We performed in dimly lit spaces
Happy just to play our tunes
We found happiness in simply playing our own music
It felt good when we got it right
It was satisfying when we played flawlessly
It felt good on a hot summer night
The feeling of success was amplified by the heat of the summer night
So it lives and it always will
The memory lives on forever
The songs we sung are in us still
The songs we played are still with us
Ringing out with all of their might
The songs are still powerful, resonating with us deeply
In the heat of a hot summer night
Even in the present day, the songs are associated with the heat of summer nights

someone needs to help edward burns make the script more believable. just one example: near the opening a guy sees a girl he hasn't seen in a long time, clarifies that she got married but just leaves without any further interest. i know it's about shallow teenagers, but still...
