Summer Breeze Song Download

"Summer Breeze" is a 1972 song by American duo Seals and Crofts and is the title track from their fourth studio album Summer Breeze. It went to number 6 in Canada and the United States, number 14 in New Zealand and number 16 in Australia.
"Summer Breeze" is produced by London-based Juls, whom Iwar has worked with on previous songs "December" and "Chance." The track will appear on an EP of the same name, due for release this Friday, June 9. It's Iwar's first project since 2019 album Gold and a perfect accompaniment to the sunny season.
Summer Breeze is an absolute jam and I am hoping, whenever we get a new Sf9 comeback, which might be in 200 years, Sf9 will follow this sound. I also hope that eventually the boys will be able to show something like this, visual and sound wise, on Kingdom. They seem to be incredibly slept on for now. Even after getting wins.. Everyone wake up. But back to Summer Breeze. I am going to be super biased here but Summer Breeze has kind of made Sf9 one of my ultimate groups. I love everything about this song, the electronic elements, the groove, the whistle and that massive chorus.
"Peter changed some of the lyrics of 'Summer Breeze' because he felt he needed to add some humor and Type O references," recalls Roadrunner Records A&R man Monte Conner. "He didn't know he needed the songwriter and publisher's permission to do that. We approached the publisher, who then approached Seals and Crofts, who clearly were not amused and rejected the request. So the band were forced to go in and re-record the vocals and they remixed the song to make it into a straight-up cover."
Really, it's not hard to imagine why S&C would've disapproved of Steele taking their song and imagining his "Summer Girl" leading him into the bedroom and "spreading out to take me." The legendary goth-doom lothario's original version may not have made Bloody Kisses, but it can still be found on the unofficial release Suicide Is Self-Expression, and is easily found on YouTube, as seen above. Below, you can read the full lyrics.
Who writes a song about a name they found in a phone book? That's just one of the everyday things these guys find to sing about. Anything in their field of vision or general scope of knowledge is fair game. If you cross paths with them, so are you.
I grew up listening to CBS-FM so I'm more familiar with the Seals & Croft version.
Something tragic must've been going on at that very young stage in my life, because to this day, I get really sad listening to that song.
I think both versions are equally great. The Isley Brothers in the 70s can do no wrong musically. I think they also did a great cover of Todd Rundregn song 'Hello..It's Me'.(I think I have the song title wrong)

"Summer Breeze" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album Bloody Kisses, released in 1993. It is the sixth track on both regular version and digipak edition of the album. This is a cover of Seals and Crofts written by Jim Seals and Dash Crofts that was made slower and heavier while leaving the melody perfectly intact. The lyrics from the original was edited by the addition of humor and Type O character and be titled "Summer Girl". However Seals & Crofts found the lyrics distasteful and rejected it, so they were forced to re-record the vocals and remixed the song under the title "Summer Breeze".
but i'm serious, seals and crofts remind me of the endless peaceful possibilities of summer. freedom from the half-awake days of school, time to just chill out and live it up. what could be better? :)
this is a great song, i don't really know what it all means but i listen to it after smoking a big joint and it almost sounds like hes glad to be home on a summer day with his lady. i don't know if thats what it actually means, could just be the fact i'm on drugs as i'm typing this i dunno.
hahaha thats probably exactly what they had in mind while writing this and prob only threw in the love part to get on the radio or something since back then all hits were love songs
but this songs so chill.. i just would like to know wtf a "jasmine" is i bet they just made it up lol
Haha, you are funny, i'm sure that's exactly what it means. And JamzXIV, jasmine is super-easy to grow and smells just incredible. Wherever you are, get a jasmine plant and smell incredible fragrances every evening, every summer, forever, and think of this song when you do.
The song was used in the 1993 cult film Dazed and Confused, and appeared on the second soundtrack to the film, 1994's "Even More Dazed and Confused." It was also used in the 2007 film King of California, starring Evan Rachel Wood and Michael Douglas.
The song was covered in a harder rock/soulful style by The Isley Brothers as a single in 1974. Issued also on their 1973 album, 3 + 3, it reached number sixty on the pop singles chart, number ten on the R&B singles chart, and number sixteen on the UK singles chart. The Isleys' version is notable not only for the harmonies of the three vocal Isleys O'Kelly, Rudolph and lead singer Ronald but also for the guitar solo by younger brother Ernie.
Metal band Type O Negative recorded a slower, Doom Metal version of the song for their album Bloody Kisses, and this version was featured during the opening credits of the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer.
\u201CSummer Breeze\u201D comes from the Isley Brothers\u2019 3+3 album, released in 1973. The title refers to the formal addition of three new official members to the group, youngest Isleys Ernie and Marvin, plus in-law Chris jasper. Ernie grew up watching the group\u2019s original guitarist, Jimi Hendrix, and his funk-rock guitar1 drives much of this evolution of the Isleys\u2019 sound. Ernie\u2019s fuzzed-out, phase-shifted guitar solo on \u201CThat Lady,\u201D2 a remake of the group\u2019s 1964 R&B number \u201CWho\u2019s That Lady?,\u201D made the song a top-10 hit. The group also spun tough funk-rock out of even more unlikely source material: \u201CSummer Breeze\u201D was a wispy hit the year before by Seals and Crofts, a duo who exemplified one of the era\u2019s dominant radio sounds, California Soft Rock.
Soft Rock \u2014 soft is right there in the name, and there wasn\u2019t a whole lot of rock. The Laurel Canyon scene gave the sound a patina of singer-songwriter sincerity and an idealized sense of the laidback \u201870s California lifestyle. Mainly, however, Soft Rock was made up of pop songs played at easy tempos and lavished in the latest studio techniques for a pristine sound \u2014 Adult Contemporary music done up in faded denim.
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts were Texas kids who moved to Los Angeles to join The Champs after that band struck it big with \u201CTequila,\u201D and followed Glen Campbell when he left the group to form Glen Campbell and the GC\u2019s. They kicked around in bands for ten years before deciding to strike out as a duo. Their fourth album, Summer Breeze, went Double Platinum thanks to the title song, which was a #6 pop hit as well as #4 on the Adult Contemporary charts. The song has an easy appeal, with a nicely complex bridge and a simple two-line chorus (\u201CSummer breeze makes me feel fine/Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind\u201D) that adorns the lyrics\u2019 endearing domestic scene with two saleable features of that Southern California lifestyle: good weather and abundant flowering shrubbery.
The Isleys ease into their cover of the song, with Ronnie\u2019s falsetto riffing on the title, \u201Cah-ha yeah\u2026 summer breeze\u2026 all in my mind\u201D over Jasper\u2019s tinkling clavinet and quiet piano chords. Even as Ernie\u2019s guitar begins to snarl, it\u2019s seemingly building into a ballad that\u2019s just a more soulful take on the original, much like Al Green\u2019s cover of the Bee Gees\u2019 \u201CHow Can You Mend a Broken Heart'' or Aretha Franklin doing Bread\u2019s \u201CMake It With You\u201D on Live at the Fillmore West \u2014 opening up the arrangement so they could sing the shit out of the song. After that opening minute, however, the Isleys jump right into the chorus, quickening the chorus a touch and finding the funk in the rhythm.
Take how they split the bridge in two: The first couplet\u2019s airy poetry (\u201CJuly is dressed up and playing her tune\u201D) is sung over the clavinet and not much else, but they shift back into that insistent funk for \u201Cwhen I come home from a hard day\u2019s work / and you\u2019re waiting there\u2026\u201D And the tough rhythm continues to build into the third verse as Ronnie amps up his sultry whisper for \u201CSee the smile awaiting\u2019 in the kitchen.\u201D In Seals and Crofts\u2019 original, the song culminates with a wholesome dinner prepared by the singer\u2019s partner. Here, those dinner plates could be pushed aside on the way to the bedroom. The song ends with Ernie\u2019s blistering two-minute guitar solo, which while not as phased-out and distorted as \u201CThat Lady,\u201D is its equal in conveying escalating passion.
Gothic metal band Type O Negative recorded a slower, doom metal version of the song for their 1993 album Bloody Kisses, and this version was featured during the opening credits of the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Another version appeared on Bloody Kisses "Top Shelf" edition (2009 re-release) which was mixed by American record producer Rick Rubin.
Type O Negative released a cover of the song in August 1993 on their album Bloody Kisses altering their version to match their gothic metal style. Their version was originally to be titled "Summer Girl", featuring new lyrics written by Peter Steele, but after Seals & Crofts found the lyrical content distasteful, the original lyrics were sung instead.
