Looking for the Summer (HD) Music Video Artist: Chris Rea Album: Auberge Released: 1991 New music video for 2022. Dreamers of the New Age Music Video Fan Tribute. (HD) “Looking for the Summer“ is a song by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 1991 as the third single from his eleventh studio album Auberge. It was written by Rea and produced by Jon Kelly. “Looking for the Summer“ reached No. 49 in the UK and remained in the charts for three weeks. A music video was filmed to promote the single. It also featured in a diner scene in the 1992 Hollywood blockbuster Basic Instinct. In a 1991 interview with Dennis Elsas, Rea described the song’s lyrical message: “The idea is fundamentally a guy is looking at his daughter, who is now just about in her teenage years and he sees her turn away. She’s looking to her summer, she’s spring looking for the summer, and he, then in autumn, looks back and remembers what it was like when he also looked for his summer. The third verse reminds his wife how they hurt each other’s growing pains, while they both looked for their summers, and in many ways he still looks for his summer.“ Album Auberge Track Listing “Auberge“ “Gone Fishing“ “You’re Not a Number“ “Heaven“ “Set Me Free“ “Winter Song“ “Red Shoes“ “Sing a Song of Love to Me“ “Every Second Counts“ “Looking for the Summer“ “And You My Love“ “The Mention of Your Name“ Dreamers of the New Age 2022 Music Video Fan Tribute Robert VanAtta -video editor Music Videos Fan Tribute Looking for the Summer Lyrics Look deep into the April face A change is clearly taking place Looking for the summer The eyes take on a certain gaze And leave behind the springtime days Go looking for the summer This ain’t no game of kiss and tell The implications how you knew so well Go looking for the summer The time has come and they must go To play the passion out that haunts you so Looking for the summer Remember love how it was the same We scratched and hurt each other’s growing pains We were looking for the summer And still I stand this very day With a burning wish to fly away I’m still looking, looking for the summer Looking for the summer Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Chris Rea Looking for the Summer lyrics © Magnet Music Ltd ’Looking for the summer’... In this case ’Looking for the summer’, the idea of the song is fundamentally a guy is looking at his daughter, who is now just about in her teen-age years, and leave, being his infant daughter, and he sees her turn away, and she’s looking to her summer, she’s spring looking for the summer, and he then in Autumn, looks back and remembers what it was like when he also looked for his summer, and in the third verse reminds his wife how they scratched and hurt each other’s growing pains, while they both looked for their summers, and in many ways he still looks for his summer. -Chris Rea The song ’Gone Fishing’, I know a lot of people have remarked to me they have listened to the record, “I like that song, that’s what we should do, just go fishing, forget about everything“. The funny thing about that song is as I say in the song, I don’t know anything about fishing. he bottom line of the tune is that when you get to the last day of your life and you look back, and you see how many hours you’ve spent in traffic-jams, pushing and shoving, how many hours you’ve spent elbowing people out of the way and being elbowed out of the way; You just thing to yourself I wish I had all them hours back, cos I may as well have gone fishing. ’Red shoes’ is dedicated to a lady called Madonna, which a lot of people are always surprised to hear. That came from this week-end a had away; I happened to be listening to anything that was on the radio in the hotel, and one of the things I heard was this lady, who was bitterly complaining about what a terrible example Madonna sets our children. And I’ve gotta tell you, I’m a very Irish-Italian father of two daughters who is always extremely paranoid and worried...
