Model, writer and musician Alys Hale on long nights, the Modern Lovers and the welcome intensity of an endless summer.
"Summer, to me, is long days, longer nights, night swims, less layers, more sweat, heavy air and a sense of adventure."
"Summer love is different because you tend to feel more free, you feel as though it will never end."
"I know it’s summer when I can leave the house without a jacket and everyone looks beautiful. When things heat up I embrace it whole-heartedly. I love intensity, heat and all that comes with it."
"My ultimate songs of summer are Wouldn’t It Be Nice by the Beach Boys, Cet Air-Là by France Gall, I’m Straight by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, Tropical Hot Dog Night by Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band, Peaches by the Stranglers."
