Essence of Summertime
A gripping intro riff with full band accompaniment transitions smoothly into the verse. Warm tones with an upbeat rhythm and concise song writing keep your attention for the entire duration. Heartfelt lyrics and healing melodies create a sonic painting of white clouds drifting above against a deep blue sky. Rock and Country Rock genres are tastefully blended in this "Summertime" musical concoction.

Your Song "Summertime"
Lets start off with saying your a great storyteller and with a nice recording that i could hear being played on a radio or movie soundtrack without a doubt plus this Band is truly talented. I can't pinpoint who the Band sounds like exactly but for the most part it's definitely Rock in my opinion and I can say you're Original. Keep up the great work and songwriting...

Bravo
I write this in english thou I see you're from Sweden, just like me. About the song, I really like your style It's good rock and the harmonies and the sound make me think a little bit about Coldplay with a slice of Bryan Adams. Not vocally thou. I wouldn't complain if you skip the dry sound of the vocal and gave it some echo or reverb. Good instrumental playing. Keep up the good work Geemo.// All the best - NaneK

Nice lyrics
Very nice overall ... love the sentiment that the lyrics convey, very nice vocals sound a bit like early John Mayer .....overall recording/engineering very nice, studio sounding .... maybe a little ducking of all but the vocals when the vocals are on to let them pop through a bit more is only critique I have .... this makes my top 10%

Catchy, infectious pop rock!
I almost didn't listen to the whole song but I was slowly drawn in by the melody and solid track performance. Strong harmonies and arrangement and good mix! Looking forward to hearing more! Good job

Nice vocals and sound
Nice style of pop here. Sounds a bit like Johnny Reznik from the GooGoo Dolls .. I think the song has some commercial potential, and I'd be curious to hear more. Keep working and developing your style.

really nice song here !
hi , this is a really nice song that you made here , i really liked it ! . the only advice that i could share that i feel relevant is maybee about the production of the voice ( maybee a bit more effect , a little ) and maybee some mastering to the overall to give a larger sound , but its great work . i wish you the best for music and all the rest .

Choppy
The transition from singing back to the instrumental parts just seemed odd to me. The song didn't flow for me at all it seemed very choppy. The vocals were good but could just make out the word summertime.I lost whatever you meant to be conveyed here.The driving sound of this song was more like a summertime storm maybe that is what this song was suppose to be about? I don't know because I couldn't understand it. I'm just not feeling this song~

Nice song
Hey Geemo. Nice song. It really conveys a good vibe. I have read Gösta Berling by the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf and I got the impression that Swedish summers must be fantastic ! The voices are good. Good singing. The guitarriff is superb. It's musically well done. I didn't get all of the lyrics though. What the composition concerns, it's good, just a pity that it ends quite abruptly... You can see a good composition as the perfect life-line in a way: It gradually gets better, better, better, you reach some sort of climax and eventually there's like a slow fade-out. Check out: Ricky Rooksby. A course on singer-songwriting. But the atmosphere you create with this song is really romantic man, just by hearing this I would travel to Sweden during the summertime to experience an adventurous, sincere and romantic time with my true love ! Keep playing ! Pieter B. from Ghent, Belgium. Please check out my music and review: N1M search: spiceypete

Great radio friendly Brit Pop style!
Nice beginning to song, very strong, reminiscent of U2, very Brit Pop. Excellent production, engineering, recording quality is really good. Nice vocals, good microphone used, good musicianship. Radio friendly music, reminds me of INXS and other 1980's alternative bands, I would suggest you promote this throughout Europe, and especially Australia, who loves this sort of sound. Good luck to you!

Sweet
Good production value. A great driving beat right off the top. That guitar riff is quite hooky. Has a 90's alt-pop-rock vibe to it. I like how we get to the chorus quickly. I find some of the lyrics a bit hard to understand. The chorus is catchy. I think it's a good song that has potential for radio play and would definitely find fans in this genre. A great breakdown/bridge with a nice buildup to the long held note. I dig this song. I kind of wish there was one more chorus right at the end. Congrats on a cool tune.

Summer is coming
I love a song that kicks off with a drum bum bum bum intro. Not sure this qualifies as country rock until we get to the chorus and then there's a flavor of country, but I wouldn't automatically put it into a country/country-rock category. The vocalist is light and fitting for this particular song. I enjoy hearing singers from other countries sing in English. I'd like a little more "bass sound" on the song - probably done in mastering. Good effort.

Summertime
What a really great up-temp intro. The song cooks along nicely, all the way through. The harmonies are great, and the voice and breath control are excellent. The only slight [very slight, I must add] criticism is that the vocals and voice timbre could have been just a little more pronounced and brought to the fore. Overall, I really enjoyed this song, and kudos to you for a really great and tuneful song. Well done.

Catchy
Hello Geemo, this a nice song. I like it's catchy chorus which creates a happy feeling. You've got some interesting chord progression in there too. I also like the harmonies at the end. With a length of around 3 min. radio stations should love to play the song, especially towards the summer. Listening to it only through the computer the lyrics are not always easy to understand.

Keep it up
Over all a great song, nice and intuitive. Feels light and simple, sometimes that is just what a song needs. For me I think the artist has some great potential, if any remarks, and only because there's always room for improvement, I would love to understand the words of the songs better. I feel the lyrics get a bit lost in the mix but keep up the good work, I would totally recommend you. God Bless
