Love Lounge: Those Endless Summer Nights.

I’m not sure I should confess this, but seeing as I alluded to, I figure my secret is out of the bag already. OK, so here it goes…I’m in love a Richard Marx hit. Well, I’m actually in love with all his songs, but one in particular has always resonated with me. It’s a little ditty called Endless Summer Nights, and it conjures up just the sorts of images you think it would: breezy nights, toes dipped in moonlit beaches, stolen moments and romantic kisses under the stars. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and read the lyrics…I’ll give you a moment…

Believe me now? Good.
I’m not sure why, but ever since I was young, I dreamed of having the sort of summer romances described in that song (and, coincidentally, described in one of my favorite movies, Grease…), spending wistful afternoons dreaming about it as I floated in the pool and stared into the blue skies above. You know, the kind that make everything seem magical and make you wish that September was a million miles away. I wonder what that would feel like. It’s tempting, isn’t it? To want to believe that sort of whimsy is out there? Have you ever had a summer romance, friends? Has it lasted past the first orange leaf of fall?

    Hi, T., the map was my favorite picture too! Summer is definitely the time for getting lost!

    Love this entry! Grease is one of my all time favorite summer chick flicks! I even posted the "Summer Nights" video to my blog a few weeks back.

    When I was a teenager, I had a few summer flirtations at the beach but nothing serious (like, not even a kiss as I was way too shy). Just innocent and fun with lots of day dreaming about what could be.
