Beach Weather was a short-lived project by singer-songwriter Nick Santino, who has also helmed the band A Rocket to the Moon and performed as a solo act.
Santino joined Austin Scates and Reeve Powers to form Beach Weather in 2015. The Massachusetts-based outfit released three well-liked EPs then called it quits in 2017 so the members could pursue solo projects.
Beach Weather touches on a number of different musical styles across their EPs. This one sounds to me a lot like the alternative pop I listed to in the early 90s.
Let me tell you a story about the queen of Brooklyn
Lost her to Bodega lights and sounds
But in her heart she’s broken
Oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
Across the boulevard, she hears a hallelujah
Cursing at the sky at patron saints
But in her heart she’s taken
[Pre-Chorus]
By the wind and then she went with the gypsy soul
Firing away like a cannonball again
[Chorus]
Baby you’re a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Hey hey hey
[Verse 3]
I used to be in love with the queen of Brooklyn
Wrap me in a velvet ecstasy
But the city could never keep her
[Pre-Chorus]
And she left me like the wind with the gypsy soul
Firing away like a cannonball again
[Chorus]
Baby you’re a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Hey hey hey
[Bridge]
Lost in a dream, a silver liberty
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Your soul runs free
It’s all you ever need
[Chorus]
Baby you’re a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Hey hey hey
Baby you’re a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Hey hey hey
[Bridge 2]
Ooh ooh ooooh
Hey hey hey
Ooh ooh ooooh
[Outro]
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Rebel, you’re the sun never burning away
Helmed…💕
I am reminded of music from Flashdance. Great dancing music 👍
Austin Scates and Reeve Powers didn’t choose Austin Powers as a band name? Come on! That’s a layup!
