To celebrate the official beginning of summer (which, according to me and the rest of the cool world, is Memorial Weekend), today’s #SoftRockTues pick is my all-time favorite soft rock/easy listening summer ballad. To me, this song is total starry night skies, sitting around and staring at a campfire, drinking beer and making s’mores, praying that your buddy’s friend doesn’t suggest getting his guitar out of his jeep for a sing-a-long, jumping into the lake nekkid, oh my god it’s finally summer dreaminess.
Also, check out the freaking video. The animation is from a music video collection made and released in the 80s by those fools who brought you He-Man and She-Ra. Aka, Hanna-Barbera. Maybe you’ve heard of them.
