A sundress is a dress intended to be worn by women in warm weather. Typically, it is an informal or casual dress in a lightweight fabric, most commonly cotton, and usually loose fitting. The dress is intended to be worn without a layering top, and the design must therefore cut a balance between modesty and sun exposure. Lilly Pulitzer popularized the sundress in the 1960s.
The sundress provides a feminine look that may be lighter and more comfortable than a skirt and blouse or another sort of dress. Sundresses can be of any neckline and hemline, including modest styles and a variety of patterns. Sundresses are made in a variety of closure types, including back zippers, side zippers, front buttons, back buttons, back ties and pullover style.
Ben Kweller (born June 16, 1981, San Francisco, California) is an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Ben Kweller was born in San Francisco in 1981. In 1982, his family relocated to Emory, Texas, where his father, Howard Kweller, became the town's first doctor. In 1986, the Kwellers moved to the larger Texas town of Greenville. Kweller was exposed to music at a very early age. Howard taught Ben how to play the drums when he was seven years old. For the next year, they would play together almost every night after Howard got home from work. Howard sang and played guitar while Ben played the drums. The duo played songs by The Beatles, The Hollies, Jimi Hendrix, and other artists of the 1960s. Howard is also a longtime friend of Nils Lofgren, a neighbor of his. Kweller has mentioned in interviews that meeting Lofgren greatly helped his exposure to music. When Kweller turned eight, someone showed him how to play "Heart and Soul" on the piano and the youngster immediately began to create his own songs using the same chords. By the time he was nine, he had a dozen original compositions under his belt and entered a songwriting contest sponsored by Billboard magazine, where he won an honorable mention.
I wanna hear your sad sad voice come to me loud and clear
I wanna hear your lips and tongue form the words no ears should hear
And I wanna watch you while your face reddens with fear
And watch your eyes get all clouded up with tears
This thing is such a stupid mess
So nuts you never would have guessed
You better watch yourself
Your words just tell
Watching your sundress just blowing in the breeze
This time of year I want to breathe but I just sneeze
And the sunshine is just killing me my degrees
I go to smell the roses just to get stung by the bees
Your words just free me day by day
You better watch the things you say
Button your lip
Your tongue just slips
I don't need to read about myself in other towns
I don't want to hear all you have seen or what you've found
And when you turn for the second go around
Just keep your mouth shut and your ear down to the ground
Your words just free me day by day
You better watch the things you say
Button your lip
I wanna hear your sad sad voice come to me loud and clear
I wanna hear your lips and tongue form the words no ears should hear
And I wanna watch you while your face reddens with fear
And watch your eyes get all clouded up with tears
This thing is such a stupid mess
So nuts you never would have guessed
You better watch yourself
Your words just tell
Watching your sundress just blowing in the breeze
This time of year I want to breathe but I just sneeze
And the sunshine is just killing me my degrees
And I go to smell the roses just to get stung by the bees
Your words just free me day by day
You better watch the things you say
Button your lip
Your tongue just slips
I don't need to read about myself in other towns
I don't want to hear all you have seen or what you've found
And when you turn for the second go around
Just keep your mouth shut and your ear down to the ground
Everybody's trying to be the best
What about the girl with loneliness
I like your sundress
I like your sundress
What about the girl with loneliness
From the inside out
You're so beautiful
I want to hold you in my hand
I do everything you want me to
I do everything you want me to do
I want to start going on a morning walk
What about the days when we used to talk?
I don't need a smile from a mannequin
I just want to hold you in my hands
I do everything you want me to
I do everything you want me to
I do everything you want me to do
From the inside out
You've changed, girl
You know you have
Don't make a good thing bad
Just let me hold you in my hands
I do everything you want me to
I do everything you want me to do
I do everything everything everything
I do everything you want me to
I do everything you want me to do
Flowers flying everywhere,
dragon spruce is screaming in your hair.
You showed me you sundress last Sunday,
it's yellow, red, black and white and gray.
You showed me your sundress last Sunday,
no I don't like it, I don't like what you said.
If I was flying everywhere away from you,
I don't think you could understand what I'm going through.
You showed me your sundress last Sunday,
it's yellow, red, black and white and gray.
Yeah, you showed me your sundress last Sunday,
no I don't like it, I don't like what you said.
In your arms you bring me down,
no words in my head that can be found.
Yeah, she's all I want.
There are no arms to bring me down,
no words in my head that can be found.
Yeah, she's all I want.
There are no arms to bring me down,
no words in my head that can be found.
I might of, gone overboard
I casually broke it off
But I feel so outnumbered
When I'm around you
So I rested up
My soldiers
To make an onslaught
On your castle walls
But you had a force field
And so I fade
And so I fade
And so I fade
And so I fade
Sit in the dark
So I can be by myself for awhile
Sit in the dark
So I can be up in this world for awhile
When I drop off
what is there going to be left to see
Except suffocated thoughts
Suffocated thoughts
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Sitting there looking at a portrait
Of the things you've never known
I wear my rage so well
Like a fifteen hundred dollar suit
Like the sketches you showed me
You reminded me of a Spiderman
Weaving a web of insecurity
On your mother's good sundress
But the rage will fade
Oh yes the rage will fade
And my will fade
And my life will fade
Sit in the dark
So I can hate this world for awhile
I sit in the dark
So I can hate myself for awhile
When I drop off
What is there going to be left to see
Except suffocated thoughts
Suffocated thoughts
Of what you've done
Of what you've done
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
My eyes wander in their blindness.
My eyes consume truth.
Take this time to decide my beliefs and stay true.
Take this time to look inside my heart and find.
If you look amont the masses,
you will wind that sex lust lies and greed only bring pain.
Just remember where your heart lies and never let it fail or die.
