The band features four Schaldas: father Bill (who sang in vocal group, The Montereys, in the 1960s) and his sons Will a.k.a. Swivs (keyboards for Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires), Paul (guitar & vocals for Paul and The Tall Trees, as well as Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires) and Carmine.
There's something special when a family can meld voices in close harmony: The Everly Brothers had it, the Beach Boys had it, the Schaldas have it.

Through the trees
Mid-July
My, oh my
I feel all right (Ooh ooh)
On a summer’s night (Ooh ooh)
Why don’t you come along (Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Summer breeze (Ooh ooh ooh)
Through the trees (Ooh ooh ooh)
After dark, after dark at night (Ooh ooh ooh)
My, oh my! (Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
Summer breeze (Summer breeze) (Ooh ooh ooh)
The Sha La Das's song "Summer Breeze" is a nostalgic tune, reminiscing about the carefree days of summer. The opening line, "Summer breeze through the trees," sets the scene for a peaceful, relaxing summer evening. The mention of "mid-July" suggests that it's the height of summer, and the singer is enjoying the warm weather and the gentle breeze.
The repeated lines of "I feel all right" and "On a summer's night" emphasize the joy and contentment that the singer is feeling. They're inviting others to join them in this moment and enjoy the simple pleasures of summer. The "oohs" and "ahs" in the chorus add to the laid-back, casual vibe of the song, like friends hanging out and enjoying each other's company.
The second verse adds a bit of mystery to the song, with the line "After dark, after dark at night."
