Summertime Is How To Live 03:16
lyrics

Another young, sunny morning A fuzzy haze in my head My espadrilles in the back seat Cannot be cooped up Till the summer's end The window's down, and I'm jamming Inhaling sweet, salty air Me and my girls gonna pow-wow Chill out, and map out The who, what, when, and where We're gonna go-o-o We're gonna go-o-o Summertime is how is to live Breezing in and going out Summertime is how to live This is what it's all about We knock back tall margaritas Wiggling our toes in the sand And we got no reservations Dancing till sunrise To a reggae band The forecast promises romance Orange blossoms perfume the night So high on sunlight and freedom So in the moment Open to where life Is gonna go-o-o Is gonna go-o-o Summertime is how is to live Breezing in and going out Summertime is how to live This is what it's all about Scat Summertime is how is to live Breezing in and going out Summertime is how to live This is what it's all about It's all about summertime

100 Better Things 02:57

I’m so restless today I feel a little reckless today I can’t lay here anymore Like a fallen soldier in our little war I feel blood in my veins And beta waves back in my brain I’ll peel these bones off the bed Go find a hundred better things to do instead I’m gonna go out and have some fun I am done with this sorrow Oh, no stopping me You’ll see I am letting go I’m sick of tick-tock Watching the clock Wondering if there was anymore that I could do But it’s time to move on, let go, forget about you My toes are ting-ting-a-ling I’m thawing out and turning to spring I’m softening in the sun And proving, though you left me, That you haven’t won So you should be aware That I finally don’t care I’ll shake these last thoughts of you from my head Go find a hundred better things to do instead I’m gonna go out and have some fun I am done with this sorrow Oh, no stopping me You’ll see I am letting go I’m sick of tick-tock Watching the clock Wondering if there was anymore that I could do But it’s time to move on, let go, forget about you A hundred better things, better things, better things, a-things A hundred better things, better things-a-lee-dah-doo-dah, shing-a ling I’m gonna go out and have some fun I am done with this sorrow Oh, no stopping me You’ll see I am letting go I’m sick of tick tock Watching the clock Wondering if there was anymore that I could do But it’s time to move on, let go, forget about… Time to move on, let go, forget about… Time to move on, let go, forget about… You!

Carefree 02:38

Did I win the lottery? Is is somehow New Year's Eve? Way up on cloud nine Ooh la la, I could fly Did I jump over the moon? Write a #1 hit tune? I'm so all aglow I might just overflow I want every day to be so easy... So carefree, so happy Like this forever Carefree, you and me Like this together Just stay glued to me And maybe we'll always be So c-a-r-e-free Ooh A house on an Italian lake Endless stock of chocolate cake They just can't compare I'm so walking on air Best part is you feel it too You with me, and me with you Add us up and boom! Summer fills up the room I want every day to be so easy... So carefree, so happy Like this forever Carefree, you and me Like this together Just stay glued to me And maybe we'll always be So c-a-r-e-free Ooh, Ooh So carefree, so happy Like this forever Carefree, you and me Like this together Just stay glued to me And maybe we'll always be So c-a-r-e-free Ooh

Humble Pie 03:18
lyrics

I guess I'm happy that it's over, yes I'm happy That you can't see my cry I'm glad you're not around to see me be so gloomy Since we said good-bye Oh, I got all this time I got all this freedom I got all this room So why do I feel numb? Oh I think.... I think I'm eating humble pie I made a mistake Now I'm living a lie I fought, but never hard enough To hold on to you And your damn good stuff Wooh, me oh my Humble pie You maybe sometimes cross my mind just for a moment Every waking hour I left the roller coaster ride and soon the pavement Flooded with rain showers Oh you knew what we had You controlled your temper You never gave up I cut the tether Oh I think.... I think I'm eating humble pie I made a mistake Now I'm living a lie I never felt so low, so rough I just want you back And your damn good stuff Wooh, me oh my Humble pie One heat-of-the-moment choice Has left me in the cold And snow may look like glitter But you are gold, you are gold I think I'm eating humble pie I made a mistake Now I'm living a lie I fought, but never hard enough To hold on to you And your damn good stuff Wooh, me oh my Humble pie

Ado Annie 03:02
lyrics

I was waiting for that boy who Could make me feel like I was on top of Machu Picchu He'd spin me around and sweep me off my feet But now I realize there's just so many, so so many Boys to meet And I don't wanna fall in love... Anymore, priorities have changed for me With all those fish in the sea Could be there's time for fun and games I am no Snow White in the woods With a witch on my back, poised for attack I don't need a prince to rescue me 'Cause I've gone Ado Annie I was waiting in my tower Until I figured out I was wasting precious hours Pulled the ladder down on my fire escape And my little black book is ready, ready to cultivate And I don't wanna fall in love... Anymore, priorities have changed for me With all those fish in the sea Could be there's time for fun and games I am no Snow White in the woods With a witch on my back, poised for attack I don't need a prince to rescue me 'Cause I've gone Ado Annie Why should I say no to all the boys I know Who aren't serious, but don't pretend to be? I want mastery of the art of coquetry No I don't wanna fall in love... Anymore, priorities have changed for me With all those fish in the sea Could be there's time for fun and games I am no Snow White in the woods With a witch on my back, poised for attack I don't need a prince to rescue me 'Cause I've gone... I've gone a little Ado Annie Ado Annie

Great Great World 02:44
lyrics

When we come together The universe is ours Dancing 'round the planets As we sing and strum guitars Gotta make time for it Find that state of mind Let's try it on, and see what fits Who knows what we will find? Ooh, ooh, we're having so much fun Ooh, ooh, ooh, So get in on the action Ooh, ooh, the world is wide open For you and me to see to it (Ooh, ooh, la la la la la...) That we know the great great world is wide open Ooh, it's a great great world No one cramps your style When you know you're free To be an explorer Of every possibility Let's go on a journey Find that state of mind Let's try it on, and see what fits Who knows what we will find? Ooh, ooh, we're having so much fun Ooh, ooh, ooh, So get in on the action Ooh, ooh, the world is wide open For you and me to see to it (Ooh, ooh, la la la la la...) That we know the great great world is wide open Oh.... Ooh, ooh, la la la la la Ooh, ooh, ooh, la la la la la la Ooh, ooh, la la la la la la Ba ba da, ba ba da, etc. Repeat Chorus

I Got Your Back 02:45

I always come to you You never laugh at my stupid issues You never judge all my drama Or break my trust (woo-hoo) And I don't think I say it often enough, it goes both ways You're a rock, but should you crumble To dust (woo-hoo) It doesn't matter what the reason Any hour of any day of any season I got your back, I've got you covered When you're down and out You can count me in to pull you from the gutter Back you up, stand by your side I got your back, yeah Got your back, yeah We'll always share the load Traveling on down the road You're the map and I'm the compass Who else has that? (woo-hoo) So when you need a friend Remember I'm here until the end Turn around, you'll always see Your wingman (woo-hoo) It doesn't matter what the reason Any hour of any day of any season I got your back, I've got you covered When you're down and out You can count me in to pull you from the gutter Back you up, stand by your side I got your back, yeah Got your back, yeah Repeat chorus

Sunflowers 03:33
lyrics

Sometimes life is like a painting Oil on canvas in a frame Sometimes feelings are like landscapes Brought to life by someone's name When we're spending time together When I'm in your company My heart dips its little paintbrush Drawing what we cannot see We are like sunflowers Dancing on our breath for hours Bright as lemons, free as kites Basking in each other's light We are like sunflowers Chapters building in our story But it's never getting stale Growing stronger every season Blooming into more detail When we're spending time together When I'm in your company I feel I'm in a picture Swaying in a golden sea We are like sunflowers Dancing on our breath for hours Bright as lemons, free as kites Basking in each other's light We are like sunflowers Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo We are like sunflowers Dancing on our breath for hours Bright as lemons, free as kites Basking in each other's light We are like sunflowers

about

Break out your sunglasses and a mojito for this light and breezy, feel-good blend of Singer/Songwriter and Island Pop. Summertime Is How To Live is a fun and engaging release akin to the music of artists like Ingrid Michaelson and Meiko. Tracks to listen for are Ado Annie (a nod to the boy-crazy character in the musical, Oklahoma!), the bittersweet Humble Pie, Juliet's cover of Billy Idol's White Wedding, and Great Great World (featured on the reality show K-Town). The melodies employ a "less is more" approach - catchy, simplistic, and meant to be sung along to. The lyrics put much more of Juliet's personality on display than some of her earlier releases.
