_____________________________________________
The summer of ’91 found Terry and I literally walking in the sand on Martha’s Vineyard, discussing ideas that would ultimately result in creating this album, seeing all the people on the beach taking full advantage of the sun, sand and surf. We couldn’t help but observe that this was truly Summer In Paradise. We then set out to design an album that would be the quintessential soundtrack of summer, and we recorded over the past year on the Pacific Coast at Carmel.
Hot Fun In The Summertime, Under The Boardwalk and Walkin’ In The Sand are the very essence of the sound of summer. Highlighted by Carl’s awesome vocals. It feels good to be able to do some of our favorite songs of a bygone era, that we hope are some of your favorites.
We wondered what the Beach Boys first song (Surfin’) would sound like had we started out in the ‘90s instead of the 60s. The result was the new version of Surfin’. It really is incredible to hear your first song recorded in a new musical context 30 years later. Summer Of Love, in a mid-60s Beach Boys style, is light and fun – totally for the young.
We have included Island Fever, Lahaina Aloha, Surfin’ and Still Surfin’, which complement the songs of summer, with their year-round tropical themes. Island Fever (The Cousin of Kokomo) deals whimsically with the eternal topic of tropical wanderlust. While Lahaina Aloha deals with a bit more of an adult island encounter. Still Surfin’ has a musical quality. We hope it captures, for listeners young and old, the spirit and feelings that have always been and will always be, part of Surfin’.
For romantics, where would a summer night be without some Slow Summer Dancin’. This one, an artful merger of the classic One Summer Night might make you feel lost in the 60s. Alan carries the lead in the chorus, with original verses written and performed by Bruce.
We’d like to thank John Stamos for contributing his energy and talents to the Beach Boys concerts year after year. Long time Beach Boys aficionados as well as John’s multitude of fans are certain to appreciate his contribution to his album, the song Forever, written by Dennis Wilson.
Strange Things Happen could be about the daughter of a flower-child of the 60s – caring and conscious, this new-age lady’s heart and mind give her an added dimension of depth and desirability. I take the lead in the verse, with Alan’s crystal clear delivery highlighting the chorus, the Beach Boys trip to Rio De Janeiro during the Earth Summit gave rise to the lyric in the last verse.
That brings us to the title song of the album – Summer In Paradise, we hope that as the lyrics to the song say, people will get together and make things right. But if they don’t, what do we have got look forward to? The destruction and burning of the world’s tropical rain forests, and the increasing use of fossil fuels and CFCs are most certain to lead to global warming, without the ozone layer, the sun’s rays, instead of being the blessing we’ve always held them to be, will become increasingly lethal. As a result, most of our favorite beaches may disappear, but maybe there’s an up-side to apathy after all, there will be a whole new coastline with new surfin’ spots opening up all across the nation and around the world. The temperature meanwhile will hit some all-time highs – a veritable endless summer 365 days a year. We can try to make light of it, but these issues are far too important to ignore, we all share a responsibility to create a safe and secure environment wherein all life can thrive.
We include this poster in the album as our gift to you. We hope it inspires a greater sense of appreciation of our planet’s fragile beauty and diversity of life.
Our gratitude and appreciation goes to Robert Lyn Nelson for the masterful original painting for “Summer In Paradise.” Which says more eloquently than any written word just how precious and in need of protection our environment truly is. If we all get together (just perhaps) we can make things right and bring back summer. – Summer In Paradise.
Mike Love.
