Summer Girl 02:58
Met her down by the ocean Grabbing shells by the dozen Oh we spent the day, Jumping the waves, like two kids Soaking up all the sunshine Felt like she was all mine But day turned to night and she faded away, Like castles into sand Chorus: She was my Summer Girl She was my Summer Girl She was my treasured pearl That slipped through my hands in the surf Told me that she lived out west And Pacific beaches are the best A movie or two was filmed in the blue where she played But something magical happened Once we locked eyes she fell right in But home is where the heart weeps Not where strangers sleep So she couldn’t stay

She only loves you when she wants to She'd rather watch you lose your mind And when you think you've figured out her She takes you by surprise She only loves you when she wants to She's in control of your life You can't believe how much you need her And how she doesn't mind You can't stop thinking about her And how you're wasting her time Hating the way you feel without her tonight She only loves you when she wants to

You put the light in my eyes I never seen the sun so bright it burned me You put the light in my eyes It’s good to finally feel something I was dying when you found me I was dying when you found me Lost somewhere out in a bad dream You shook my body and you woke me You said it all will work out So give your hand to me I was frozen when you kissed me Girl I was frozen when you kissed me Then you whispered something so sweet Felt like the song I never could sing You can’t calculate the chance I I’d find something so good All I see is love in my eyes Radiate the good vibes

Vacation 03:40
Maybe we can find a little place by the ocean Just a summer retreat to call our own We’ve been working hard all year and we’ve earned it Let’s go, let’s go. let’s go out to the coast So we can make a memory Just you and I We could feel the evening breeze Across the night sky Vacation, Ain’t soon enough Vacation, Feels like it will never come Go and pack your bags were leaving Tampa And heading somewhere a bit more tropical Already filled the tank and told our families And we’ll call em up when we reach the shore So we can make a memory Just you and I We could feel the ocean breeze Across the night sky It’s been so long Since it was just us Before the tide has changed we should run Somewhere far away Where things aren’t the same Let’s ride this wave Will you go with me my dear?

Hold 03:42
One more Summer day One long afternoon Don’t want to hear you say How you can’t wait for June Cause I know the day will come When the sun won’t be around Yeah I know the day will come But if we can’t live this way forever We should try to slow the clock down Hold (Hold) Your breath for one more second Hold (Hold) You don’t want to regret it Hold (Hold) Don’t let the memory ever die Hold on to the Summertime One more staycation One more lazy day Cause when the feelings gone Things won’t be the same Yeah I know the day will come The sun it will refuse to shine Yeah I know the day will come But if we can’t pause this tape forever Maybe we can make it rewind I don’t want to leave you laying out In the sun that’s fading out on you So put away your sun screen and bathing suits Or hold
6.
Better Days 02:51
Check out the folks at tourist store There looking for deals on sunscreen Miles of beach, draining into the floor There at the bottom of the sea Oh better days have come Though it won’t be too long till they must go home, Oh better days Pick up your suit that you bought last year I hope it fits you, nice and trim Head down the road, till the traffic clears Everybody’s getting in Somethings in the water Somethings in the sand Bury me, I wanna Get so deep that I never stand
7.
Woke up late this morning Something I never do I guess I missed the warning Cause the clouds were coming soon Had a plan in my mind But didn’t think it through Stepped into the sunshine About half past nine But I’d be drowning by noon Caught in the Rain Everybody’s moving but I am staying the same Caught in the Rain But it’s ok, cause I know I’m the one to blame Caught in the Rain Thought about last summer And how I stayed inside Cause no one likes a bummer Staring up into the sky Maybe next year I’ll move back in With my parents again And hang my wet clothes out to dry Should I rap and dance a little Like I did when I was little Maybe a take chance and settle Cause summer is through

about

It’s that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the leaves are starting to turn and there’s a bit of a chill in the air…well, uh…I’m sure that’s the case somewhere, but not in Tampa, FL, home of The Easy Button. Their hometown’s lack of discernible seasons didn’t stop the band from feeling nostalgic for summertime, both recent and long past. That post-vacation feeling of needing a break from the mundanity of work and life, just one more day off, is distilled for your listening pleasure in the latest EP from The Easy Button – Personal Day. Chock full of the ear-wormy hooks and memorable melodies you’ve come to expect, this batch of their signature brand of power pop rock was mixed by Jeremy Simon after mainlining copious amounts of Weezer’s Blue Album to get in the desired head space. Summer is in the rear view mirror, but, thanks to The Easy Button, it looks like you may have just enough PTO for one more Personal Day. Check it out this surprise release from TEB streaming digitally in Mid-October!

Personal Notes on the songs from the band:
"The EP opens with “Summer Girl”, a Heartfelt ballad in power pop 6/8 time that starts as a living room sing and progresses to a complex rocker about a guy who meets the perfect girl that is just not meant to be. Second up, is the sharp whitted “She only loves you (when she wants to), a hooky yet sarcastic take on feeling emasculated in a relationship. “You put the light in my eyes” and Vacation” channels some early Get up kids and Superdrag and serve as the albums barn burners and power rock pit stops. “Hold”, brings the sad undertones, familiar to most TEB songs and ushers in the feeling of holding on to this Summer vibe all year but seemingly unable. “Better Days”, an acoustic dose of simple observations and sarcasm living in a beach state full of tourism and how everyone wants to capture the same good time. The EP closes with “Caught In the rain”, an almost ELO style tune that bring all of the earlier summer analogies to an up front and personal level for writer Brian Jones. It begs the question, is the EP about summer at all or just about searching for a time and place far better than the current day to day. Only to find that you are what’s standing in the way of achieving it."
