Lyrics:

summerland in my past
days were full and i knew it would last
i never thought there was anything else but you
summerland
the wind is getting cold
summerland
you're finally getting old
not much time
there's much to do
look ahead and walk on through
no one's taking sides this time it's you
summerland
your sky can still be blue
summerland
always in love with you.

Song: Summerland
Artist: King's X
Album: Gretchen Goes to Nebraska (1989)

I wish someone would upload Out Of The Silent Planet

[smithyweremanjanson]

@karlmoles65 I think someone did upload that song already :)

I have been listening to KING's X since first album ...Out of the Silent Planet.....I never have really understtod why they have received as little aclaim as they have. They have sheer raw talent and very mindfully written lyrics.....perhaps if they wore meat dresses, shot at other musicians, or disgraced themselves at award shows rather than write great music the "WORLD" would notice their talent. Sometimes I am so embarassed to live in these modern days!

[eGGsplore]

this is about music

to be taken in with ears and processed with the heart

couldn't care less about fashion, symbols, sexual orientation, faith or whatever else

if this music doesn't move you nothing will

[mikehawk69]

great band.

great song.

great album and great memories

[johnnyenglishguy1]

a truly stunning timeless song...and im mailing them meat dresses so they can try get more famous, i reckon they dont care about fame though, even though they deserve to be multi millionaires because they can write songs as beautiful as this. They deserve the money more than footballers...

More than twenty years on...and still my most favourite song. Those days i din`t understand the lyrics, but i was blown away immediately by the deepness of it. So much sadness, so much emotion, so atmospheric so inexpressible, hard to say anything. I just want to let you know that nothing else from an artist haunted me and still haunting me as strong as this epic. And i love the video as well. The eighties and especially the end of it was the best era in rock. Thank you King`s X!

[toadman842]

[ArshkyBarshky]

such beautiful tone all around, and Pinnicks voice is impeccable on this one.

[Zubirrex]

If you've never seen this band, do yourself a huge favor and go. You will not regret it.

[DonHanz17]

Thumbs up if you've seen this on Metal Mania Lol

Love this!!

@glueforall I try not to think about it because if I do, it will literally bring me to tears. What a loss for the music world.

How sad for the band, too. Poor Doug.

Something went very wrong. They deserve better.

You know, there's a really great video to this song. Better even than the one to It's Love. And also one to over my head. I used to have them.
