about

Simplicity is a song that memorializes a perfect summer's day in Grand Bend. With lush harmonies, catchy riffs, and descriptive lyrics, it is easy to imagine yourself right on the beach with a glass of wine in your hand. This track was written and recorded in London, ON. It was produced by London producer, Matthew Johnston and features Saveria on backing vocals, Julian Leeke on drums, John Brocksom on keys, and Alex Tirolese on bass. Simplicity is my self-proclaimed song of the summer.

lyrics

Baking at the beachside
On Lambton Shores
Is my kind of Sunday
Sippin’ on some white wine
Hot sand between my toes
Sit back and watch the waves break
And try to read what the clouds say

Give me a little sunshine
Give me a little warm breeze
Give me a little cash in my back pocket
That’s all that I need
Singing that sweet melody
That moves me
I’m talkin’ bout
Fresh squeezed simplicity

Take a dip to my shoulders
And I feel refreshed
Dunkin’ my head under water
Is like a reset
I’d trade society for this brief recess
Faint fuzz of a stereo
A hot date with my pillow

Give me a little sunshine
Give me a little warm breeze, baby
Give me a little cash in my back pocket
That’s all that I need
Singing that sweet melody
That moves me
I’m talkin’ bout
Fresh squeezed simplicity

[Instrumental Interlude]

Give me a little sunshine
Give me a little warm breeze
Give me a little cash in my back pocket
That’s all that I need
Singing that sweet melody
That moves me
I’m talkin’ bout
Fresh squeezed simplicity

Give me a little sunshine
Give me a little warm breeze
Give me a little cash in my back pocket
That’s all that I need
Singing that sweet melody
That moves me
I’m talkin’ bout
Fresh squeezed simplicity
I’m talkin’ bout
Fresh squeezed simplicity
