Describe your favorite summer as a kid using a single song.

Today's song takes me back to the summer of 1985 and my subdivision swim team. Howard Jones' song Things Can Only Get Better was hugely popular and something we heard regularly on the radio. It ended up being our subdivision swim team theme song.

This song is just very upbeat, catchy and one that just sticks with you. It's one that we played constantly via cassette if it wasn't already playing on the radio. I have so many summer memories with this song that I wish I could go back and experience again.

[Verse]
We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize

[Verse 2]
And do you feel scared, I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better

[Chorus]
Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
