about

I had just moved the piano into the studio and there was a Champion Jack Dupree record sitting on top of it. That was how this started. This time it wasn't the 4-track, rather a Sony reel-to-reel that Greg Lovell and I found in a thrift store. You can hear the Sound on Sound happening especially on the piano. This was a live take. I went back and added the bass, harmonies, synths later.

lyrics

The boxer can't find his way back home
Ft. Lauderdale, Montreal and Tel Aviv...
The boxer got lost in Amman,
In Northern Ireland, the mist and sea…
The summer begins, for me.

When I can't get to sleep...
When I have had too much to dream…
I think about you, wonder where you are.
Picture you in a house with your family
The summer begins, for me.
