“Kiss Like The Sun” by Jake Bugg – A Song Feature

     Jake Bugg embraces multiple genres with his single “Kiss Like The Sun.” The beginning has the hand claps and acoustic guitar of a Folk energy burst. Then, the vocal processing during the chorus is aligned with Dream Pop. The song has its Country elements, which are most apparent when the electric guitar is briefly played with a finger slide (as shown in the below live version of the single). There are at least as many hints of Rock.

     “Kiss Like The Sun” is about a one night stand. The lyrics are included in this post. Jake Bugg is from Nottingham, UK. In 2013, he was popular in U.S. festival circuit. We caught him at Coachella and Austin City Limits (ACL). He was too serious at ACL, until loosening up after a lady yelled “Smile Jake!” His reaction was endearing and the remainder of his performance was energizing. 2013 was also the year his song “Lightning Bolt” was featured on a History of Gatorade commercial (also embedded below).

Lyrics of “Kiss Like The Sun” by Jake Bugg

Drunk with desire

Ten shots of fire

Watching those lips

Got my mind wrapped around the taste

She colored my name

And whispered my place

Watching her sip on my drink

Makes it hard to look away

My kiss is like the sun (The sun)

And my love is for everyone

It was all for fun (For fun)

Until I let you fall, never call

Wasn't trying to hurt you but

It wasn't love, it's only for a night

Wasn't trying to hurt you

She left a necklace on my nightstand

You can come back

But it don't mean we're meant to be

It's not about you

Look on the bright side

I'm only saving you from someone else like me

My kiss is like the sun (The sun)

And my love is for everyone

It was all for fun (For fun)

Until I let you fall, never call

Wasn't trying to hurt you but

It wasn't love, it's only for a night

Wasn't trying to hurt you

Woo-oh [Repeating]
