Summer of Love
Digital animation art and music by Artist Charles Maring

Summer of love is a one of the many stories from my youth. After high school in the 90's myself and a bunch of close friends would catch legs of Grateful Dead Tour whenever we could. Along the way we caught shows all over the east coast, and all the way out west to Colorado where we lived high in the mountains during the winter months working at ski resorts and snowboarding everyday. From there we would drive out to the Oakland and San Fransisco areas to catch show for Halloween and New Years. Some of these friends I keep in touch with, and others are fond memories along the way. I wrote this song thinking about them, and all the cool people we spent time with on those journeys. This time in life was all about freedom, the epic American road trip, dancing, celebrating life, love, and great music. This song is brimming with great memories of days gone by. Thank you to The Grateful Dead for being one of the many soundtracks to my life.

Cheers... Charles

SUMMER OF LOVE LYRICS BY CHARLES MARING
Summer tour on the east coast
Waiting for a Miracle at the Atlanta show
When I saw your smile across the parking lot
Terrapin Station, and our eyes caught

Late that night behind the second row
You were feeling so high yeah we were groovin slow
You danced like an angel in a firelight
My new best friend you came into my life

Then we heard our song
And you looked so beautiful
Filled with heart and soul love and all
The Dead played our song
We grooved all night long
And I'll never forget that night
Or the morning light in your arms
Summer of love is gone

We all knew that it could never last
My VW Bus It'd never run that fast
In 24 hours we'll see another show
Until that time turn up the radio

Three little birds and we all sing along
Everything's gonna be alright
Yeah there's nothing wrong
With permanent smiles we think we're moving fast
But the truth so sad the seasons gonna pass

Then we heard our song
And you looked so beautiful
Filled with heart and soul love and all
The radio played our song
We grooved all ride long
And I'll never forget that drive to the Colorado line I know
Summer of love is gone
Summer love is gone

Drove all the way to the west coast
We caught a show for New Year's
Yeah we made the most
Saw the ocean, canyons, and the mountainsides
We went through Reno in the snow and it was very high
Then we knew it was time for us to part our ways
We said goodbye with tears on our face

Yeah it was like a song
And you looked so beautiful
Filled with heart and soul love and all
The Dead played our song
We grooved all life long
And I'll never forget that drive
Or the tears that we cried going home

Summer of Love is Gone...
