Sun-Eyed Girl

James calls this my "summer song."

It's the one that I inevitably want to play when we're almost to the beach because I played it the first time we visited the North Carolina coast five years ago - I zoomed down the windows to let in the briny air, turned up the radio, and bounced in my seat like the five year old I was at that moment.

I also, until this moment, always thought the lyrics were "summer girl" - happily, I like the corrected version even better.

While we've been hanging about in rainforest-like conditions all week, summer is almost here and the beach - bodysurfing, frisbeeing, and squinting into forever - is beckoning.
