Feb 2022 thebeach needs-music needs-collab lyrics-only
Aiming to write a handful of lyrics this year that would work as a mini-EP. They're gonna be like breezy, beach pop (if that's a thing?!). Basically, I love records like Lana Del Rey's 'NFR!', and also thought Lorde's new record 'Solar Power' was a vibe, even though everyone else hated it haha. So this is gonna be my interpretation minus the actual tracks and artistry lol. Basically a poor man's version.
Here's the first one - I'll tag all the others with a 'thebeach' tag also. I know so original.
The sun it lights my baby blues
Reflecting the crests of the oceans pools
Boys in a trance, I got the moves
Yeah.
My golden skin is a trailblazer
My sun kissed lips are all the rage, yeah
Got an arse that screams ‘I am an angel’
Here to save the summer
That’s right,
The boys gather when I hit the beach
In my shorts
Trying to catch a glimpse of me
Radiating heat
I’m hot hot hot, hot to the touch
Hot! Hot enough to love
In the midday sun
They wanna taste watermelon on their tongues
I’m hot hot hot, hot to the touch
Hot! Hot enough to love
The rays caress my rose cut face
A moment of beauty boys can’t escape
Heads in a spin, they want a taste
Mmm
My tactile natures a troublemaker
My slimline legs they run for acres
Hold an arse that screams ‘I am an angel’
Here to save the summer
That’s right,
The boys gather when I hit the beach
In my shorts
Trying to catch a glimpse of me
Radiating heat
I am the sun
Watch boys go blind
They’re staring cause they’re magnetized
Mesmerized, cause I’m
A beautiful summer
The burning sun
The orange skies
The only one
They want
I’ve got it going on
Out here, burning like a god
That’s right,
I’m hot hot hot, hot to the touch
Hot! Hot enough to love
In the midday sun
They wanna taste watermelon on their tongues
I’m hot hot hot, hot to the touch
Hot! Hot enough to love

Like a female version of "I'm Sexy and I know it". The images paint very descriptive pictures. This needs some fun upbeat music! Nice write :)
@fearlessflight2014 Feb 2022
This is so obviously pop but it’s also beautifully written. I love the imagery ‘rose cut face’ ‘watermelon on their tongues’ ‘orange skies’ it’s so intensely visceral. Great writing!
@natalie Feb 2022
This is so much fun! I can actually hear a melody popping off the screen as I read this one. Love the various colors and images you use to evoke the beach, sun, and deities of love ~ all well-woven together and wonderfully rhythmic. Very enjoyable!

This deserves a Toni Manero timbered strut.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Hot images throughout! Creates a sense of summer fun temptations. Sexy and smart!
@chipwithrow Feb 2022
You paint quite an awesome picture - I can surely picture the steamy scene. Lots of vivid images, and that watermelon line is an absolute killer!
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
Your influences come through here very well. The arse that says I'm an angel is a great line, but then(!) it saves the summer! (The arse? Or the angel? Who saves the summer? Doesn't matter! It's such a good line!)

Oh to be 54 years younger... I reckon this needs a girl group capable of serious harmony, echoes of Beach Boys but post-Bangles and semi punk! Hot hot hot hot chorus!
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
Fun idea, well done. “Here to save the summer “ indeed.
@colgoo Feb 2022
Love the rapid fire energy in that chorus….whew!
@judypie Feb 2022

What an absolutely classic Jorh opener! Looking forward to morrrreee
