MICHAEL FRANKS - Now That The Summer's Here

Happy Solstice! It's June 21 and the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer, the farthest north the sun ever moves in the sky. So, now that the summer's here, why not celebrate with the lovely accompaniment of a sunny sonic soundtrack in the form of "Now That The Summer's Here," the debut single from TIME TOGETHER, the new album by iconic jazz vocalist MICHAEL FRANKS:

MICHAEL FRANKS
In slow motion I’m reborn
I need a week to mow the lawn
I eat dinner with my flip-flops on
Now that the summer’s here

With my chores I only flirt
Hung in my hammock, reading Kurt
Struggling to remain inert
Now that the summer’s here

Now that the summer is here, I’ll laze all day
My work can wait
I might behave like a firefly and…
Oscillate with my mate

Now that the summer is here, I’ll laze all day
My work can wait
I might behave like a firefly and…
Oscillate with my mate

I can spare some wherewithal
Listening to Ahmad Jamal
Poinciana says it all
Now that the summer’s here

One thing is crystal clear
I won’t be going anywhere
Except my Adirondack chair
Now that the summer’s here

Now…now that the summer’s here (4x)
Now…now that the summer’s here (4x)
