Aloha !

I can't remember reading anything about this, but the last track of the new Beach Boys album was co-written by Jon. I don't think he wrote together with Wilson but just gave it away with Wilson and Joe Thomas (producer of the new Beach Boys record) changed things about. If Jon co-wrote with Brian Wilson surely he'd have bragged about it?

Anyway, here's the song:

And the lyrics:

Summer’s gone
Summer’s gone away
Gona away
With yesterday

Old friends have gone
They’ve gone their separate ways
Our dreams hold on
For those who still have more to say

Summer’s gone
Gone like yesterday
The night’s grow cold
It’s time to go
I’m thinking maybe I’ll just stay

Another summer gone

Summer’s gone
It’s finally sinking in
One day begins
Another ends
I live them all and back again

Summer’s gone
I’m gonna sit and watch the waves
We laugh, we cry
We live then die
And dream about our yesterday

It doesn't sound like a Jon Bon Jovi song at all, it kind of has Pink Floyd influences in it though I do think that's the work of Brian Wilson and Joe Thomas. I really wonder when the song was written. Any thoughts?

Salaam Aleikum,
