歌颂我们的国家是爱国，对我们国家的不满也是爱国，这是我的看法。——季羡林

我喜欢用来解夏的专辑，无非也就是清新的Folk，Indie pop，还有就是小爵士，如果你已经厌倦了前两者，那么请试试是这张Summer Rains。我也不知道有没有小爵士这样的说法，不过我很乐意这样称呼他，因为他的小巧，没有正中爵士的浓情，没有传统爵士的绅士，更多的是Indie的清新......来自Los Angeles的The Ditty Bops带着他们轻轻摇摆的节奏进入我的夏季节，就像明媚阳光中夏威夷摇摆舞，让人不由自主的轻轻摇动，软棉棉的享受。暑假很喜欢去咖啡吧，在那里能听到格式各样的Jazz，我想这样的感觉也正是我需要的，清晰、细腻的二重唱，就是一场突如其来却又那么及时的夏日雨...（网络整理）

歌词：
When the ices melt
I admit I felt
A lifting in my heart
Every land becomes an island
Everywhere a paradise
Oh my, it's so divine
There's no more snow at Christmas time
Just summer rains
So I hung up my hat, scarf and coat
Put on my birthday suit
Even though it is December
It feels like it's the month of June
When I get up, I get up and go
Surfing with the girls
They are all from California
Finer than an oyster's pearl
Oh what a place to be
I pluck a mango from a tree
As the summer rains
Are falling from the sky
When the ices melt I began to sing
A joyful melody
An orchestra of ukuleles
Strumming in the sweetest key
The tail of a wintery ghost
Is lost in an island breeze
I'm paddling into the sunset
Leave behind my memories
Oh, it's begun
What's been done can't be undone
Once summer reigns
I'm dancing with the sea
Water washing over me
As the summer rains
Are falling from the sky
Summer rains
Are falling from the sky
