about

Jasmine Allen Estate is the musical alter-ego of Middlewich-based poet Gareth Williams. Normally when gigging, he plays solo, but for this track he brought his friends and family along to the studio to produce an awesome full-band sound.
In this song, we travel through time to take a nervous peak at what the Summer of 2069 might be like...

lyrics

There are cars flying high over houses
The streets are all under the sea
We’ve got miracle food from a test-tube
But it’s years since we last saw a bee

Shall we take a trip right now through space and time?
Do you want to see the summer of sixty-nine?

Twenty sixty-nine

We’ve got AI poets and singers
Only bots can live on the pay
There’s more free time for the workers
But there ain’t no jobs anyway

Bryan show me the future if you don’t mind
Will we ever see the summer of sixty-nine?

That summer will last forever
The best days of my life
Hot as hell in a dried up well
We’ll be lucky to survive
Is saving the world cost effective?
What do the dividends pay?
Short term gain means long term pain
There must be a better way

Bryan show me the future if you don’t mind
Will we ever see the summer of sixty-nine?

The information highway
Is riddled with clues
Beyond the easy answers lay
Uncomfortable truths

Shall we take a trip right now through space and time?
Do you want to see the summer of sixty-nine?

And if you want to see that summer
You better believe the science
Do you want to see that summer of sixty-nine?
