Bryan Adams is my inspiration in life.
I wish him the best in life!! Ronny, Whitwick Summer of '69 is just brilliant - the Album Reckless from which it was released is so inspiring. To be honest, i think the latest album confirms that Bryan Adams have a conservative and superficial interpretation of rock, and are rather repetitive in the subjects that sing about. Donnie, Stornoway I used to listen to this on my walkman while cycling Sammy Cole - Southampton I was born in the Summer of ' Lisa Ireland This song is a classic.

It brings up a lot of memories about my summers! The first time I played a guitar, I played this song! TJ , Derbyshire The magic of this song is that it made me believe that the time just gone was the best day of my life. It reminds me of the best days in my life I lived in England.
Eugenia from Salta, Argentina I love this song, once it made me cry. I just love Bryan and his music! To Salta, not Bs. Moses - Derby I only really 'discovered' this song in the early 90s - a full 10 years after 6th Form when I should have been rockin' to it but when I listen to this it always makes me feel like I'm there again - those were the best days of my life!
Simon, Middlesbrough It's amazing that after 21 years this song is still being played in clubs all over the country. What's even more amazing is that this song never reached the Top 40 it peaked at 42 but is rightfully considered a classic. Pete, Preston This song is absolutely fantastic! It's got a definite 'feel-good' vibe, especially when you've got nice summer weather!
Marlborough This is such a good song. Shame he's not so admired these days. Everyone should listen to Reckless. Alexandra yateley i love this song i never ever stop playing it its great. Kyle, Newcastle I think that Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams is 1 of the best songs ever, and he is by far the greatest singer of all time. Katie,Leeds bryan is brilliant and i can't wait for his new album. Andrew, Chatteris Cant get enough of this song even though it is nearly twenty years old, i love it!
Emily, Newport When this comes on in the club the floor goes crazy. Rahul The song that turns me on cuz it says all it could about my life, i even bought a guitar to play along as i listened. Denise Timmis Lincoln I love this song, reminds me of when we girls go out on the town, and recently when I was competing in Aarhus Denmark, they played this just before my race!!!
Sue, Norwich This song is a real classic! On the song's very first demo, it started with a string riff, just like the breakdown section in the middle of the song, but they replaced it with a chunky 6-string intro on the second demo. The song was recorded three to four times, in different ways, with both Adams and Vallance still not convinced that it was finished.
When Adams appeared on The Early Show in , he was asked about "Summer of '69" and its lyrical meaning. Adams said the song was about sex and making love in the summertime. He notes Jackson Browne 's " Running on Empty ", which contains references to and , as his own influence, and recalls Adams citing the film Summer of '42 as his. A lot of songs, like that one, hit big in America but really not anywhere else.
It didn't chart anywhere in Europe until at least 10 years after it was released. The song topped the survey with both sexes, and with French and English-speaking Canadians.
