Shann also takes care of engineering duties, with the band recording, mixing and mastering the album themselves. His focus is on capturing a well-performed and organic live sound. The Eversons spent a month rehearsing the record to get it up to scratch and only two weeks in the studio. All the instrumentals were recorded live, so the album has a stripped back feel that stays true to their live sound.
Summer Feeling perfectly captures all the different facets that make up the Eversons. The title comes from a Jonathan Richman song and reflects the band’s shared interest in writing songs that are both humorous and sincere. The album opener, ‘Could It Ever Get Better?’, has Turner wondering whether his life is likely to improve when his hair thins, his parents die, and he loses his mind. The rest of the band enthusiastically replies “It never gets better!” His outlook is similarly sharp when he muses on romantic issues (‘Marriage’, ‘Creepy’) or his career prospects (‘So Down’). The mix of pop vocals and off-kilter guitar reaches new heights on ‘Terminally Lame’, which has Young trying to be cool yet failing miserably. It’s continued on ‘Heading Overseas’ as Young tries to leave his small town for the big smoke, but can’t seem to get it to work out.
Summer Feeling will be released on 23rd April. The first single, ‘Could it Ever Get Better?’, will be accompanied by a stop-motion animation video by Trophy Wife Productions (who also made The Brunettes viral breakthrough video, ‘Her Hairagami Set’).

The Eversons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right from the start
We were old love,
Like we′ve never been parted.
You kissed me,
Your hands down my side to my hips dear,
Shivers and sighs.
All the breathing,
I got high on
This hunger for one more time.
Lover of mine, when I kissed you
I felt so . . .
Tell this tale to me
Well I won't believe
That I′m already here
Tell this tale to me
No, I won't believe
That we're already here
Oh Love,
You covered my skin
With your eyes as they found me.
I kissed you, danced in your scent,
And fell into a never-ending moment
Of a whisper from your mouth through mine
With those words that gently filled my lungs.
Lover of mine, when I′m with you
I forget how am I to
Be alone living without you,
Spend another day passing by you,
Don′t want to know how it feels if I do.
Tell this tale to me,
No, I won't believe
That I′m already here.
Tell this tale to me,
I won't believe
That we′re already here.
Tell me, this is real.
No, I won't believe.
I won′t believe.
No, I won't believe.
No, I won't believe.
No, I won′t believe.
The Eversons's song "Emily" is a love song that describes the intensity of the singer's feelings for his beloved. The opening lines "Oh Love, Right from the start, We were old love, Like we've never been parted" suggest that the couple have known each other a long time and share a deep connection. The imagery of the singer's skin being covered by the beloved's eyes creates a powerful image of intimacy and closeness. The lines "I kiss you, dance in your scent, And fell into a never-ending moment" convey the overwhelming sensation of being fully immersed in the moment and forgetting about everything else.
The chorus "Tell this tale to me, No, I won't believe, That we're already here" suggests that the singer is still in awe that he has found such an intense love, and that he doesn't want this magical moment to end. The repetition of "no, I won't believe" in the final lines seems to convey a sense of disbelief that this level of love and companionship is possible.

Thank you so much for having this up! It was stuck in my head the other day and I couldn’t for the life of me remember the band’s name or some of the exact lyrics.
Brat Wurst
Big Star and all the great pop rock of 70's and 80's. Whoever recorded this did good.
