Vannelli, Gino - Summers Of My Life Lyrics






The sea is sad the world is stray
The love of earth has passed away
And war after war how we fail and ignore what we defend
And soon it will end

The pain is east the pain is west
The greed of all men has ravaged the blessed
And year after year every crime reappears without a care

Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Who's drowned the fires of our souls
What have we done

If God is good then God be cruel
Take back the world you've granted to fools
Salvage the land that is best without man and all his grief

Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Who's drowned the fires of our souls

Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Who's drowned the fires of our souls

    quintero 1980, pasa el tiempo y esta melodía sigue girando como aquella vez

  43. S.... C....

    Heard this back in 1976-fell in love with it...

    S.... C....

    me too!

  44. C.... S....

    Im a piano teacher in Nashville TN & Gino is one of my "teachers." To keep my chops up & explore new chord progressions I sit at the piano & play along with Gino Vannelli, Mr. Mister & Sting. Not easy, but I love the challenge.

    C.... S....

    About 20 years back I did take the time ( lots of it! ) to transcribe the contents of this entire album --as well as much of GV's other albums back in 70's. After it's completion, I felt I had discovered the Rosetta Stone of music!

  45. M.... P....

    Summer of my life

  46. L.... S....

    Had a clam bake yard party....Gino was a hit...everyone loved my song selections all night long.

  47. s.... ....

    I have been going to see Gino since the 70's and I still go to his shows today. I miss his synthesizer sound but it's his voice that transcends through the years! He's a sweetheart and a very humble man..There is no other like him..Bravo Gino.
    Your Loving Fan Friend
    Judy.

  48. m.... ....

    A man and his music way ahead of his time still loving it
    over forty years later later.

  49. E.... L....

    A music genius. The music, the perfection with the instruments, his voice, the lyrics... all the poetry and feelings in his songs. This is my favorite one <3

  50. j.... c....

EL DEPARTAMENTO Cultural de la Embajada de Canadá TENIENDO UNO DE LOS MAS GRANDES ARTISTAS DE ESTE SIGLO deberia HACER ALGO MAS POR UN ARTISTA INCREIBLE COMO Gino Vannelli GRACIAS ROSS JOE GINO

  51. I.... ....

    I use to put my headphones on and listen to this album over & over before I went to sleep! :)

  52. l.... ....

    Gino's right-on with this one, for sure. ty for posting it.

  53. J.... M....

    Increíble... existen 7 extraterrestres que no gustan del arte musical en persona...

    J.... M....

    Siete sordos diría yo... Reggeton lovers May be???

  54. M.... L....

    Unbelievable heights.

  55. H.... V....

    ¡Excelente canción!

  56. J.... K....

    Genius!

  57. T.... K....

    Absolutely spectacular!! My favorite song from my favorite album by Gino! I am so lucky I get to see him next week at the Capitol Theater in Clearwater FL. Cannot wait!! Saw him last year at House of Blues in Orlando.....his voice is still sheer perfection.....and makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck!!!!

    T.... K....

    "Put the weight on my shoulders" from "The Best and Beyond"  is just pure magic

    T.... K....

    +Tim Kilraine I agree. He did a great job revisiting those classic songs. Something about his harmonies makes his music so unique, you can't put a specific 'genre' to his creations.

    T.... K....

    +GreenEyes Mexico Well said!

    T.... K....

    +Tim Kilraine I saw him last month, he was absolutely incredible! I met him after the show and he was so nice to have a photo taken with me and my husband. Very cool guy - besides being a music genius. His voice was so beautiful as ever.

    T.... K....

    That's because unlike a lot of other singers he knows that the voice is just like a fine instrument and must be taking care of as such. Gino is a virtuoso and I would expect nothing less.

  58. S.... ....

    Masterpiece lyrics as always.So many of his songs stir such emotion and never get old for me.Tears ...

  59. M.... E....

    Gino has always been an amazing mix of smooth with the electrical musical undertones. An amazing vocalist. His music stirs the soul...

  60. A.... D....

    Sentimental gino ,penso sempre al mio lontano amore lucia lacry

  61. B.... K....

    "Wow" I woke up one morning Kidd
    You not and this tune "Summers
    Of my life." Was singing in my head
    It brought back sooo many
    Memories for me. Started listening
    To Gino in the late 70 I took every
    Gino Vanelli album that I own
    Been playing them as we speak.
    "love You Gino".

  62. E.... D....

    So many Summers have passed, but all the memories are still there, untouched by time.

  63. C.... F....

    Excelente

    C.... F....

    l have adored this man's genius for my entire puberty n

  64. V.... R....

    That break at 2:00 is absolutely celestial!  What feeling!  Pure genius from Gino.

    V.... R....

    +Vince R Is really brilliant...

    V.... R....

    This entire song is simply ORGASMIC!!

  65. r.... ....

    Nothing sounds like Gino Vannelli.

  66. S.... S....

    Bought this lp just to check it out  wasn;t into it till i heard this tune 20 years back..! Melodic Summer tunes...thanks joe also great keys !

  67. w.... m....

    Very very nice..and timeless.. song indeed. Thank you so much for posting it... <3

  68. P.... W....

    Bitter sweet classic from "The Gist Of The Gemini" which still resonates today! 

    P.... W....

    It resonates more and more with each passing Summer.

  69. o.... ....

    Gino a bien marquer son passage musicale.
    Thanks

  70. m.... ....

  74. C.... E....

    que buen tema !!!!! 
    que buena tu música tu fusión entre jazz, y balada me encanta..

  75. G.... M....

    Wow, you're so fortunate! Since I was a young girl back in the 70s...he is certainly one of my favorite singers ever....right up there with Ol' Blue Eyes.

  76. R.... G....

    Want to hear classic Gino Vanelli, and are into prog rock/fusion/pop/vocals... listen to Brother To Brother, or anything off of "A Pauper In Paradise" He and his brother Joe Vanelli are phenominal and have done so much and they have only had two hits. The industry for some reason doesnt cotton to them. It's a shame.

  77. D.... ....

    @anettehallstrom AMEN !!

  78. G.... D....

    Listen you have posting a wonderful song of Gino no discussion about,but please I cannot understand this video.With such song need a same, equal measure,a lovley video. Thanks the same,god bless!!!
