"Summer Breeze" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album Bloody Kisses, released in 1993. It is the sixth track on both regular version and digipak edition of the album. This is a cover of Seals and Crofts written by Jim Seals and Dash Crofts that was made slower and heavier while leaving the melody perfectly intact. The lyrics from the original was edited by the addition of humor and Type O character and be titled "Summer Girl". However Seals & Crofts found the lyrics distasteful and rejected it, so they were forced to re-record the vocals and remixed the song under the title "Summer Breeze".
"Summer Breeze" is played during the opening credits of the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Lyrics[]
See the curtains hanging' in the window
Evening on a Friday night
A little light-a-shinin' in the window
Lets me know everything's alright
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer - the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there
I don't have a care
Not a care in the world
See the smile waiting in the kitchen
Food cookin' and the plates for two
Feel your arms reaching out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine
In my mind
Summer breeze yeah
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine
In my mind
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine
In my mind
