Porch swing music

You know the kind of music you hear while relaxing in a porch swing? The kind of music that makes you want to sip a glass of iced tea or lemonade while rocking slowly in a porch swing? I call this porch swing music. Did I just create my own music genre?! I think I did! Cool. Porch swing music has mellifluous and smooth vocals and sound. It is very pleasing to the ear and totally mellows you out. Below is a song that definitely fits in this genre and just so happens to be one of my favorite tunes. It's "What's Shakin' on the Hill" by Nick Lowe. If you like it as much as I do, please check out Nick Lowe's Party of One album. Buy it, too, if you like it!



Lyrics:

"There's a cool wind blowing in the sound of happy people
At a party given for the gay and debonair
There's an organ blowing in the breeze
For the dancers hid behind the trees

But I ain't never gonna see
What's shakin' on the hill

That I someday may be joining in is just wishful thinking
Cause admission's only guaranteed to favored few
There's a waiting list and plenty more
In a long line leading to the door

So I'll never know for sure
What's shakin' on the hill

I'm too blue to be played with
And I get heartaches
So they tell me no dice
It isn't allowed
In that carefree crowd
To be seen with tears in your eyes

So I make out I don't wanna know but I'm the pretender
Kicking cans 'round while that happy sound keeps cracking on
Though I long so strong to be inside
With the blues is where I do reside
So I'll forever be denied
What's shakin' on the hill

Though I long so strong to be inside
With the blues is where I do reside

So I'll forever be denied
What's shakin' on the hill
What's shakin' on the hill
What's shakin' on the hill
What's shakin', what's shakin', what's shakin', what's shakin', shakin' on the hill
What's shakin' on the hill" ♪♫
