Hi Everyone! It’s my fourth year participating in the Home Composed Song Contest. I’ve really enjoyed taking part and representing the UK, hearing the songs of fellow writers and musicians, and making new friends along the way.
This year my entry ‘Summer Drifting’ tells the story of a love lost but cherished and never forgotten, a symbol of hope as one chapter of our lives leads to the next, transitioning naturally like the seasons.
I wanted the feel of the song to be uplifting despite the sad lyrics as it was recorded during the Summer months but with the intention of an Autumn release, keeping the spirit of the sunnier days alive!
I wish all the contestants of 2025 the very best of luck and thank you in advance for listening. Lots of Love x
Lyrics:
SUMMER DRIFTING
SO YOU MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS
I HEARD ABOUT THEM
GLAD YOU’RE OUT AND LEAVING THOSE FOUR WALLS BEHIND
I TRIED CALLING YOUR PHONE
BUT IT KEEPS RINGING
GUESS YOU’RE HAPPY HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE
I HEAR YOU TALKING SWEET WORDS
I FEEL YOUR TOUCH WHEN IT HURTS
I WANT TO BE WHEREVER YOU ARE
BECAUSE I’LL NEVER FORGET
THE SUMMER IS DRIFTING AWAY
BUT I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS
FROM NOW UNTIL MY DYING DAY
THE BOND WE HAVE REMAINS
THE SUMMER IS DRIFTING AWAY
AND I’LL REMEMBER THOSE DAYS
LEAVES ARE FALLING, AUTUMN’S CALLING
AND WE’LL GO OUR SEPARATE WAY
SO I’LL GET USED TO BEING FREE
NO PLAN OR ACTION
JUST THE SEASONS CHANGING
TO KEEP ME ON MY TOES
I DON’T WANNA BE A BURDON OR TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD FEEL
I GUESS I’LL JUST KEEP LIVING IN HOPE
I HEAR YOU TALKING SWEET WORDS
I FEEL YOUR TOUCH WHEN IT HURTS
I WANT TO BE WHEREVER YOU ARE
AS A MATTER OF FACT
THE SUMMER IS DRIFTING AWAY
BUT I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS
FROM NOW UNTIL MY DYING DAY
THE BOND WE HAVE REMAINS
THE SUMMER IS DRIFTING AWAY
AND I’LL REMEMBER THOSE DAYS
LEAVES ARE FALLING, AUTUMN’S CALLING
AND WE’LL GO OUR SEPARATE WAY
BRING BACK THE SUMMER
BRING BACK MY LOVER
BRING BACK THE SUMMER LOVE
