Man of Summer
While hunting for new soul house songs on Traxsource this past spring, I stumbled upon “Man of Summer” by QB Smith and was instantly hooked. I played the song on auto play & repeat for hours and adopted it as my 2013 summer theme song. Ever mutha needs a summer theme song!
The lyrics hit me in the right spot and reminded me of summer love and a connection to the earth and all things connected to light.
I, Tafari…. am a man of summer!
“I am fleeting thunder
on a blue horizon
nearby laughter
on an outstretched evenin’
I am a warm touch
all over your body
and shady branches
for your shelterIm a thoughtful moment
scorched emotions
cool remembrance
springs conclusionIm everything
Ive ever done
and ever seen
and ever felt
and Im ready
yes Im readyTo be the man you want
I am summer
Man of summer”
