Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sunburn on my shoulders Cheap shades, crooked on my face Old shirt, starting to unravel Still my favorite anyway Beach chair in the driveway We pretend it’s by the sea Neighbors mowing in the distance But it feels alright to me [Chorus] Play that old vinyl summer Let the record crack and sway Every scratch another memory Spinning all our yesterdays We were young, we were something Now we’re older, still the same Chasing that old vinyl summer Til the needle fades away [Verse 2] Polaroids on the dashboard Curled edges, colors gone soft We laugh at all the bad hair Turn the rearview to the sky above You tap time on the window I hum lines I halfway know We don’t need the right lyrics Just the way it makes us glow [Chorus] Play that old vinyl summer Let the record crack and sway Every scratch another memory Spinning all our yesterdays We were young, we were something Now we’re older, still the same Chasing that old vinyl summer Til the needle fades away [Bridge] Maybe all we ever wanted Was a song that never ends Just a lazy, faded chorus We can always sing again (oh yeah) [Chorus] Play that old vinyl summer Let the record crack and sway Every scratch another memory Spinning all our yesterdays We were young, we were something Now we’re older, still the same Chasing that old vinyl summer Til the needle fades away

rock, Laid-back 70s/80s soft rock vibe: warm clean guitars, lazy hi-hat groove, round bass, and a dusty Rhodes pad. Male vocals in the pocket, gentle slapback on the lead, stacked harmonies on the hook. Easy Sunday tempo that sways; chorus opens with brighter guitars and ride cymbal, bridge leans into a melodic guitar lead that sings with the vocal.
