That's a great song. I wish I could find more on this band.

Los Iberos had a short career. They came up in the late 60's, strongly influenced by the British bands of the moment. But in 1970 one of the main members had to leave the group due to the after-effects from a car accident, and then the band wasn't the same anymore. They finally broke up in 1973. But at least they left us some great singles. There is this compilation album including their songs in English: Hiding Behind my Smile, Why Can't We Be Friends?, Back in Time, Nightime and others.

Gino Paoli: Sapore di sale ("Taste of Salt", 1963). A well-known Italian summer song:

♫ "Sapore di sale, ................................ Taste of salt,
sapore di mare ................................ taste of sea
che hai sulla pelle, ................................ that you have on your skin,
che hai sulle labbra ................................ that you have on your lips
quando esci dall'acqua ................................ when you come out of the water
e ti vieni a sdraiare ................................ and lay back
vicino a me, ................................ beside me,
vicino a me. ................................ beside me.

Sapore di sale, ................................ Taste of salt,
sapore di mare, ................................ taste of sea,
un gusto un po'amaro ................................ a taste a bit bitter
di cose perdute, ................................ of lost things,
di cose lasciate ................................ of things left
lontano da noi, ................................ far away from us,
dove il mondo è diverso, ................................ where the world is different,
diverso da qui. ................................ different from here.

Qui il tempo è nei giorni ................................ The time here is in the days
che passano pigri ................................ that pass lazily
e lasciano in bocca ................................ and leave in the mouth
il gusto del sale. ................................ the taste of the salt.
Ti butti nell'acqua ................................ You plunge into the water
e mi lasci a guardarti ................................ and leave me watching you,
e rimango da solo ................................ and I stay alone
nella sabbia e nel sole. ................................ in the sand and the sun.

Poi torni vicino ................................ Then you return by my side
e ti lasci cadere ................................ and leave yourself fall down
così nella sabbia ................................ like this on the sand
e nelle mie braccia. ................................ and into my arms.
E mentre ti bacio, ................................ And while I kiss you,
sapore di sale, ................................ taste of salt
sapore di mare, ................................ taste of sea,
sapore di te. ................................ taste of you." ♫

If you want some ideas. Goodmusicallday.com has a mixtape series like this called the chill summer mixtape series. You should do it like that. I will definitely download it if you make one :)

Personally I have been listening to a lot of Mew this summer so I would say my song of the summer so far would probably be Repeaterbeater.

George Winston: Lullaby (album Summer, 1991). Solo piano.
