Hillary is currently preparing to record her debut album with renowned producer/songwriter Peter Zizzo.   I’d like to live in a cheap hotel on the California shoreline
I could walk naked through the lobby to the ocean tide
And I’d like to live in a big chateau on the French countryside
I could walk naked through the garden, covered in sunlight

Winter go away
I need a sunny kind of day
Everybody got to put that blue away
I need a simple kind of place
Ain’t nobody gonna get into my way
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Happy summer day

I’d like my skin to be kissing with the wind on a dusty sailboat
I’d say captain captain, keep floating, I got nowhere I got to go
And I’d like the sea to be tickling my knees on a Spanish island
I’d say Buenos dias, I’m happy as I think I’ve ever been

Lets get naked on the New York City pavement
Throw our clothes under the c train
Dance in the freezing rain
Lets get naked I hope we don’t get a arrested
But you know I just can’t take it suffocated in all these clothes

Happy summer day
