Summertime is one of my favourite songs, it's strangely in a minor key for a summer track, a blues for summer...there's a disquieting feel about it. So it pairs really well with my favourite track from Everything Everything's Leviathan from Raw Data Feel (and actually the lyrics interplay because Summertime has some rather dark lyrics hidden within)....a song about grief and loss of parents - which tracks for me personally.
And Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong track is a classic, although I have to confirm, Louis is singing out of key....he was rather a bugger to tune.
Summertime is always a weird time for me, for several reasons...there's a good reason one of my other favourite summer song is 'Cruel Summer'. So this is a blues mashup for summer; probably as welcome as rain on a sunny day but into every summer rain does fall.
