Green & Granstrom has released a song that captures the season's spirit. "Only Summer" represents far more than a bittersweet ode to the youthful abandon of summer vacation. It is an emotional, sun-drenched, carefree adventure.
Written by a collective of experienced songwriters, Lars Brundin, Herbert Tinz, Jimmy Granstrom, and Robert Gould, "Only Summer" revives the original Swedish track "Alltid sommar (där hon går)" with new and original English verses. The result is a song that beams universal joy while keeping its Scandinavian roots in place.
Leyton Green, again bringing his wild and fantastic voice to the Green & Granstrom party, paces his performance nicely between casual and passionate. His vocals slide easily over the track's gauzy production, capturing the sensation of a sun-drenched drive with the windows rolled down or a languorous day by the beach with the squad. This track readily commands your attention via charm, melody, and mood. There's something inherently cinematic about "Only Summer." With lyrics that evoke warm nights and wild adventures, it conjures young life's fleeting beauty and freedom. The song is bracingly real, perched neatly on the line between well-crafted songcraft and emotional clarity.
Brundin, already familiar to Swedish listeners due to frequent airplay on P4 Malmöhus, reveals his gift for timeless melody. This, combined with the beautiful, lyrical storytelling of Granstrom, Gould, and Tinz's atmospheric contributions, has caught the restless promise of summer, the sense that anything is possible for a brief moment. "Only Summer" lands like a postcard from the best summer of your life. With this release, Green & Granstrom continue demonstrating that great music sounds like something you've experienced.
