about

This is a song I wrote back in 2012. I had been using Abelton to record my music for a few years but I didn't have a laptop at the time, so in order to play live, I started to use Garageband and I wrote Summer Storm on there. A few years later, I found myself teaming up with an massively talented musician Beth Swain and we made an album under the name 'Bilamie'. We covered Summer Storm and made it pretty rocky! Now, this is the third version of it - sound more like the original, but just as dark, if not darker!

So the song is about love. My only 'love song' on the EP. You know at the start of a relationship, where things are going great but you haven’t had ‘the conversation’. Then a few months pass, feelings intensify, but you’re still not sure where you stand?

Starts of relationships are wonderful times filled with life affirming excitement and passion. But for someone with self esteem issues, there can also be a darker side to this period. Constant doubt, questions of worthiness, anxiety, overthinking - and all the time keeping it all inside because you want to be their ‘rock’ and you want to be strong for them. That’s what this song is about.

lyrics

Please don't leave me wondering
Please don't blow so hot and cold
Please don't say that you miss me
Then stare blankly and withold

Touch me like you always do
Let me know you're always there
I'll hold you, I’ll love you,
If you let me, I'll take care of you

If you allow me to
I'll take care of you
If you allow me to

I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take, take, take good care
I’ll take, take, take good care of
I’ll take, take, take good care
I’ll take, take, take good care of you

No don't shield your heart from me
No don't close up and resist
Your head might choose a safer route
But only a heart can feel this kiss
Use my shoulders when you're climbing
Sleep on me when you need rest
Rest on me when you're broken
I will try to do my best for you

If allow me to

I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
If you allow me
I’ll take, take, take good care
I’ll take, take, take good care of
I’ll take, take, take good care
I’ll take, take, take good care of you

I know you’re on a different plane
Every day swallowed into a hole
I know you’re living for survival
Everything else on constant hold
I'll still be here when it's all over
And you've weathered the Summer Storm
I'll still be here, I want no other
Ready to take you in my arms

I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
I’ll take care of...
If you allow me
I’ll take, take, take good care
I’ll take, take, take good care of
I’ll take, take, take good care
I’ll take, take, take good care of you
