about

Summer Rain is a song about nomadic love & war. Originally entitled" Letter from the Front" the song was written during the first Gulf War and makes an analogy to troops and a touring band. We are nomadic cultures, commuting to & from work everyday gathering, hunting, looking for that satisfaction that only comes from true loves kiss.
BAM magazine called Bruce"one of the most versatile vocalists to come around in a long time"
L.A. Weekly called the song " hard rockin that jolts the heart"

lyrics

SUMMER RAIN

Well we rolled into this town tonite to sing a song for you
Maybe lift your spirits up & have a drink or 2
These songs go on forever,who knows where it starts
We’re just visions in the sands of time & nomads of the heart

I’m stretching myself as far as I can
I wanna love ya baby but I’m just one man
Theres too much busy-ness on my mind
I wanna be with ya but I ain’t got time

Theres angels in the summer rain
Angels in the summer rain

I got one foot in,one foot out
leaving no room in my mind for doubt
wanna lay you down, wanna role in the hay
wine ya & dine ya maybe sleep all day

With an angel in the summer rain
Angels in the summer rain

Down the road we’ll be living legends
Gonna give ‘em hell
only true loves kiss can break the spell
of an angel in the summer rain
angels in the summer rain

We rolled into that down last night and had a war for you
Really laid that place to waste & left’em black & blue
Wars go on forever
Who knows where it starts
We’re just visions in the sands of time & nomads of the heart

Like angels in the summer rain
angels in the summer rain, angels in the summer
