Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Whether you buy into the song’s year-based reference or Bryan Adams's later admission that his 1985 anthem is a red-hot nod to the eponymous sex position, “Summer of ‘69” explores summertime loving and that eternal predicament; get a mortgage and settle down, or hit the road with your guitar. Written by Bryan Adams and his long-time writing partner Jim Vallance, “Summer of ‘69” – which is featured on Bryan Adams’s fourth album Reckless (1984) – finds the Canadian star in part-autobiographical mode as he reminiscences about a summer romance he’ll never forget. “We were young and restless / We needed to unwind / I guess nothin' can last forever,” he recalls in his raspy-toned voice. One of Canada’s biggest singles of all-time, the song reached Number 4 in the US and Number 42 in the UK but enjoyed later commercial success when Reckless re-entered the charts.
