about

'The Boys Of Summer' is the 3rd Single from The Lightning Kids debut album and follows the 'cool late-night drive' debut of 'Ride' and the 'sun-soaked, guitar-led' 'California.

'The Boys Of Summer' is a re-imagining of the classic 1980's hit single from The Eagles-front-man Don Henley and finds its roots firmly in the 'retrowave' sound - mixing electronic 80's inspired synths with ambient guitar solo's, very much a late-Summer-vibe.

With the new single, The Lightning Kids prepare for the release of their debut album, a 10-track love-letter to lost-teenage-dreams and summer nights. Following the young romance of two fictional characters living in Los Angeles in the 1980's. The soundtrack to a film that never existed.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home

I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And those sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But, baby, when I get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
