AOTW [6] : The Rocket Summer
I think a good singer should always learn to play a musical instrument or two, else they are just “idol singers”. I prefer to support singers who can write and compose their own music.
Don’t be fooled by the name “The Rocket Summer“, it is not a band but a solo project by @Bryce Avary – who is on twitter too !
I have to say, even though I thought I’ve quit that “rock era” since polytechnic days, I really enjoyed his music because it really perks me up to blast his songs at night. You can find some of his live performances on youtube which I thought was really good in terms of vocal quality and the atmosphere.
Apart from the usual rock, I think The Rocket Summer has really good emotional lyrics that I find most important to me when it comes to liking a song.
I like “So Much Love” and “Do You Feel” but I still prefer one of the older songs “That’s So You” which has this rather raw feel to it.
The lyrics is quite meaningful because lately I’m really just having a bad time but having the boyfriend around makes things so much easier to tolerate. I think it is also important to be proud of your other half in a relationship too, who wants to go out with someone whom you’re ashamed of ?! Be it the person as who he/she is or what they do for a living etc. You’re in love not because you love to be loved and wants to be in love – but to love the person as who he/she is wholeheartedly and being proud of his/her achievements, even if it’s just minor things like…er..winning a game on FIFA (haha).
I’m such a sucker for sweet lyrics, what’s new ! Enjoy the cute fan video, I don’t think they have an official MV for this song =)
That’s So You – The Rocket Summer
It’s a beautiful day
Now I’ll be ok that you’re not away
Yesterday was a terrible day
But now that you’re here I’m ok
Cause you don’t know how much I, I need you
Please don’t go
You’re so wonderful
This I swear, this I know
You, oh you, every single thing you do
I’m so proud of you
What you do
When you do the things you do
They’re so you
So thanks for your help
You shine so bright
You are the star that’s in my sky
And I am yours and you are mine
I’m so proud of you
That’s so you
