SUMMERCAT

I kissed you good bye at the airport.
I held you so close to me.
I said 'So here we are now and I can't stop from crying Lilly'.
And you said 'Hey hey hoo, you know this is the way to go
You will forget about me when I'm on that plane.
Forget about me when I'm on that plane.'

CHORUS:
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

The plane took off and my love went with it.
The chilly wind whipped my both cheeks hard.
And the man next to me said 'Everything is gonna be alright'.
I said 'Nothing is gonna be alright, but thank you anyway'.
And then I saw your face in the airplane window.
I waved my hands and I shouted to you:

[CHORUS]

I wore a T-shirt and my worn out hat.
Abandoned as a summer cat.
And as I stood there as a broken hearted I realized you got the car keys still.
So I broke into my own old car.
I fell asleep on the passenger seat.
I dreamed of summer sex with you and you whispered in my ear:

[CHORUS]
Why can't you leave me tomorrow instead?
Why can't you leave me tomorrow instead?

And above the clouds she said to her self 'I can't believe how naive a man can be.
That's why I love you so and that's why I can't be with you…'

[CHORUS]

(Billie and the vision)

Comment:

This song was the hit of last summer because of the last TV advertisement of Estrella Damm beer, which had this song as a background. However, it was written eight years ago by the group called Billie and the vision.

The advertisement was about a boy who went on holyday to Formentera Island. There, he met two beautiful girls, with whom he spent his holydays. In the island, there was a music group, Billie and the vision, which sang the Summercat song. At the end of the clip, the boy had to come back home and leave this nice holyday. What the advertisement shows is that if you drink Estrella Damm beer you’ll remember nice moments like this.

So, the advertisement is based on the main idea of the song because it’s about a boy who is coming home after a trip and who feels sad because he won’t see the girl that he has fallen in love with any more.

The part of the song that I love and I like to sing is when the singer sings “and the man next to me said 'everything is gonna be alright' / I said 'Nothing is gonna be alright, but thank you anyway”, because when you see that something is going badly and someone, who doesn’t know anything about you, says the opposite, then, you get very angry and feel really sad, so you say thanks to the other person to make him shut up. I think it’s a real situation because I do this many times: “when I’m sad I don’t want anyone to confort me”.

Anyway, the reason I like listening to this song is because it makes me remember my last summer holydays with my friends who always sang this song or put it on their mobiles phones.
