Dreamers of the New Age Music Video Fan Tribute. (HD) "Looking for the Summer" is a song by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 1991 as the third single from his eleventh studio album Auberge. It was written by Rea and produced by Jon Kelly. "Looking for the Summer" reached No. 49 in the UK and remained in the charts for three weeks.
A music video was filmed to promote the single. It also featured in a diner scene in the 1992 Hollywood blockbuster Basic Instinct.

In a 1991 interview with Dennis Elsas, Rea described the song's lyrical message: "The idea is fundamentally a guy is looking at his daughter, who is now just about in her teenage years and he sees her turn away. She's looking to her summer, she's spring looking for the summer, and he, then in autumn, looks back and remembers what it was like when he also looked for his summer. The third verse reminds his wife how they hurt each other's growing pains, while they both looked for their summers, and in many ways he still looks for his summer."

Looking for the Summer Lyrics
Look deep into the April face
A change is clearly taking place
Looking for the summer
The eyes take on a certain gaze
And leave behind the springtime days
Go looking for the summer
This ain't no game of kiss and tell
The implications how you knew so well
Go looking for the summer
The time has come and they must go
To play the passion out that haunts you so
Looking for the summer
Remember love how it was the same
We scratched and hurt each other's growing pains
We were looking for the summer
And still I stand this very day
With a burning wish to fly away
I'm still looking, looking for the summer
Looking for the summer

'Looking for the summer'...

In this case 'Looking for the summer', the idea of the song is fundamentally a guy is looking at his daughter, who is now just about in her teen-age years, and leave, being his infant daughter, and he sees her turn away, and she's looking to her summer, she's spring looking for the summer, and he then in Autumn, looks back and remembers what it was like when he also looked for his summer, and in the third verse reminds his wife how they scratched and hurt each other's growing pains, while they both looked for their summers, and in many ways he still looks for his summer. -Chris Rea

The song 'Gone Fishing', I know a lot of people have remarked to me they have listened to the record, "I like that song, that's what we should do, just go fishing, forget about everything".

The funny thing about that song is as I say in the song, I don't know anything about fishing. he bottom line of the tune is that when you get to the last day of your life and you look back, and you see how many hours you've spent in traffic-jams, pushing and shoving, how many hours you've spent elbowing people out of the way and being elbowed out of the way; You just thing to yourself I wish I had all them hours back, cos I may as well have gone fishing.

'Red shoes' is dedicated to a lady called Madonna, which a lot of people are always surprised to hear. That came from this week-end a had away; I happened to be listening to anything that was on the radio in the hotel, and one of the things I heard was this lady, who was bitterly complaining about what a terrible example Madonna sets our children. And I've gotta tell you, I'm a very Irish-Italian father of two daughters who is always extremely paranoid and worried and frantic, and biting the leg of the chair about my daughters. BUT, having said that, the type of image that Madonna preters, I completely disagreed with this woman. For me the dangerous image is the Kylie Minogue, Kim Wilde image of this getting ready, to make yourself look glamorous for the man, so the man or the boy, or the male, will have his way with you, break your heart, and probably leave you in a lot of trouble. The Madonna image, the idea behind the whole thing of Madonna, is that sex needn't break your heart, and needn't scar you for life, and you shouldn't be afraid of anything you do. I think she carries probably one of the best examples of being strong, as an image. I would far rather see my daughters inspired to what Madonna shows you that you can do with your life, than any of these silly pop star girls.
