Bob Lind-Cool Summer 

When you’re young, your life it seems, like an endless happy dream...

I listen to this song everytime i feel anxious and it helps.

'..but somehow i can't be sad, thinking about the times we had, it was love and i remember it forever..'

A Beautiful song that takes me back to a time when life seemed much simpler Bob has always been my favourite singer I love all his songs but sometimes find it so painful to listen to the words they are so lovely they make me cry. Such an underatted singer and songwriter.

It is sad how Bob Lind never had a hit with this song and that his only big hit was Elusive Butterfly, he deserved to have more hits. A very talented singer and songwriter.

i visualize myself dancing with my(future)lover, on the hill, its just two of us, and a warm campfire, and some beers, and this song, loud.

Heartbreaking, such a beautiful song, which brings back many memories for me when life was lovely.

It's a gorgeous song! You can tell it's a demo, as it is imperfect...the guitars and vocals play catch-up with each other at some points...but effect of the song is still there. Classic Bob Lind. He still records today and thankfully his style has changed very little since then.

Sept 1958 to July 1959 I lived these words with Carolyn. 60 years later I still am not over the pain.

When i want to cry I come back to this song

there was a time when i could not bear the explicitness of his words - the sea was too wide, and the burden too heavy to be carried - in times of real and merciless heartbreak, it does not take much to trigger a wave washing you away. glad those times are over. bob still here, comforting me.

This is so beautiful...

Bob Lind wrote some beautiful songs. This is just one of them. What a great atmosphere on this.

I have since heard that Bob recorded this song, along with all the demos that ended up on The Elusive Bob Lind album, a long time before he recorded Elusive Butterfly and Cheryl's Goin' Home. He said in an intervew he was 17 (which would be 1960), but as The Times They Are A-Changin' was one of the demos, it must have been about 1963-64

i always imagine rainy weather while listening to this song. It's so cozy as summer rain

So beauté

First heard this on The rinse XFM in 2006, couldn't find the song for years so thanks for putting it up.

Great song! Although I've loved Elusive Butterfly since I was a kid, I'm starting to discover Bob Lind's other songs...love this one!

Best cut from this excellent record....Bob Lind is a treasure.

A fabulous singer with only one hit, but at least he had one which is more than most singers have

"AND A BURDEN, TOO HEAVY, TO BE CARRIED"

this is just too sad, I feel pierced by a spear

Classic

first time that i hear U, and I love it! thanks BOB

I bought the album the first week it was released. Already had the two World Pacific albums. Wasn't disappointed at all even though they were all songs recorded before "Elusive Butterfly." Has excellent versions of "Fennario" and "Times They Are a Changin'" Used to be found all over the place in used records bin, bet you can find if you try!

Love

Thank you Don Letts for bringing this to my attention :-)

Lovely x

Corrected lyrics, but some part is still a little bit oscure. Somewhere up there In the high mountain air Is the girl that I Would have married But the summer was too long And the ocean was to wide And the burden too heavy To be carried In the fall when things were new We walked town and wandered through And a word set my restless mind to dreaming Winter's soft warm caress Made the hours stop and rest, I wonder if it was what it was seeming. But the summer was too long And the ocean was to wide And our dreams too heavy To be carried In those quiet Autumn days Sitting in some small cafe Our worths they were set To each other Yes the wind played at the noon And cast a shadow across the room We walked back down the road together In the winter of that year Through the snow you would appeared And we laid around and laughed when times were easy But our words were deaf and blind To the coming summertime Even though we knew inside It was coming In the spring when it was warm I would hold your (?) And we walked across the grass Just feeeling lazy But our nights had just begun To be worried and restless ones And the thoughts of the summer wave that heavy When you're young Your life may seems Like and an endless happy dream But your choices are always yours to make. So I sail across the mist With a promise and a kiss And I saw her face in every wave That's breaking And the summer was to long And the ocean was too wide And the burden too heavy To be carried Well, I seen her a lot of times Since that summer arrived And I know that what we used to have Is over But somehow I can't be sad Thinking about the times we had It was love and I'll remember it Forever And somewhere up there In the high mountain air Is the girl That I would have married And the summer was to long And the ocean was too wide And the burden too heavy To be carried

Το τραγουδι π με ξυπναει ταξιδευοντας αναμεσα στην αισιοδοξια και την αγαπη

This song made me want to lay in hammock all day long :3

cat is a legend

This album was never released on CD it was put together after Bob had success with elusive butterfly the strings were added.... it was really just a demo he made in Denver that was embellished by the record label in an attempt to cash in on his fame...you have to buy the record used

🔥

This may had been his written song besides Elusive Butterfly.

the only way is down

Would you come back, baby?

Does anybody knows the lyrics for the fourth verse? He says something like "Winster's stop" and "caress". Thanks!
