Old Summer holy ghost old summer love you the most I'm a rebel you don't need to ask I'm gonna sit by you but I'm not your man I'm not your man I'm not your man I'm a rebel I ain't got the time to put you on hold or bring you down I'm not that stern you are my star Old summer burning soul old summer carry me home There's a shadow stretching out and wide enough to swallow us in a mouthful of fire let's stay in tonight let's make love tonight There's a twinkle in your flashing eyes a place we should be somewhere we could hide above the stars oh,midnight sky. Old Summer holy ghost old summer love you the most.

Go go go open up your heart Go go go widen up your soul It's not too far it's not too far it's not too far You're not too far,no Play play play stay here in the dark mingle with your ghosts catch a falling star >> Memories are endless trips around your mind where tears and fears and hopes and loves are free to run You're free to run too you're free to go beyond you're free to write a song Your magic song your magic song your magic song your magic song # Tú las canciones...yo la magia

about

Review by Serge P

Widely used in recent years given the paradigm shift in the industry and the democratization of music technology, the DIY philosophy has always inspired the productions of this singer-songwriter based in the south of Madrid. From Brian Wilson and his 'bedroom tapes' to the more contemporary Carla del Forno, they have contributed to promoting the idea that it is not necessary to have great technical skills to create sound magic. In the making of this double-sided single, Karlos Manchild walks, once again, along this path.
The titletrack song,"Old Summer",is an example of the successful combination between the soul of the most heterodox crooners - Scott Walker, Georgie Fame and the most daring Marc Almond - and the clean, sophisticated pop of Aztec Camera or Prefab Sprout. The result is a timeless, magnetic mid-tempo with a certain bluesy aftertaste that seems to evoke long aimless walks of a flanneur trapped in a suffocating reality.
In contrast, "Your magic song" is fully immersed in the synthetic melancholy of those warm and dark sounds so neatly manoeuvred by OMD in the early days of the 80's, still irremediably linked to the Mersey's shore. Among his verses we find the essence that surrounds both tracks: You're free to run too / you're free to go beyond / you're free to write a song. An invitation to dream without fear with a total creative and emotional liberation, so necessary in this dystopic nebula that we are living in.
