Summer Morning It’s a summer morning by the sea And the sun meets the horizon The day begins so silently And I wonder what I’ll be findin’ In the distance, you can hear the waves And the cries of some sea birds I can feel the salt on my face Time stands still in this peaceful world Sun rays are reflected by the sea And the grains of sand are sparkling This is nature wild and free And the waves they splash so calmly And a summer breeze carries my thoughts Makes them sail across the ocean Will they reach another shore Will they bring luck where they're going The waves are dancing around my feet In the steady rhythm of the sea The wind sounds like a melody And the birds join in in harmony I hope this place will last Now and forever That dream is not yet lost We’re all in this together As each day begins

about

This is a song I released as an unplugged version as part of the Nostalgia Unplugged Album in June 2021. For the fully produced version, I invited Eileen Alanna, the singer from Fishing4Compliments to sing backing vocals, and Alison Reynolds to play the cello.

Please listen to their beautiful music here:

The track was mixed and mastered by Nathan Illes who is also an incredible songwriter himself:

On this Mini EP, you'll find both the fully produced version and the unplugged version of Summer Morning.

The story behind the song:

I just love the sea and the beach! It's as simple as that. When I was little, I spent countless summers at the North Sea with my family and have very fond memories of those holidays. To this day I love being at the beach. The sea has something very soothing for me. So, it's maybe not surprising that the sea is a recurring theme in my songs. But that's not all. This song is about a place as nature preserved it. Will we be able to keep such places? Or will they be destroyed? What can we do ourselves to keep them?
