Nashville's finest, Vista Blue (https://www.facebook.com/wearevistablue/), return today with a firm contender for best summer song of 2020. It's been somewhat of a crappy year so far but that's not stopped the band from releasing a new single that'll brighten up your day. I didn't know the single was on it's way till I got a message from frontman Mike Patton saying "You've urged me to do Beach Boys stuff in the past. Here are a couple of attempts!" Obviously trying to put out music in the style of The Beach Boys is going to leave you wide open to comments that you aren't as good and whilst Vista Blue would never claim to be batting in the same ballpark, if anyone's gonna make a decent fist of things it's going to be these guys.
The first track has a title that is a play on words on the title the Beatles' smash Here Comes The Sun and it's a song that reassures us that even though it may have been raining for so long, one day the sun will be out and we can forget all our stresses and get back out on the beach. It's a love song in which Mike doesn't care how long the drive is, as long as his loved one is by his side. It's a modern day power pop classic that could easily be a metaphor for these current difficult times.
The other track is another harmony drenched song called I Like Brian, She Likes Mike in which our love struck couple argue over the merits of Pet Sounds compared with Kokomo.
Mike, Mark, Richard, and Reese have done themselves proud with another killer Vista Blue release. It's the catchy fare we've come to expect with maybe a little extra gentle guitar riffage.
