As it's nearly the summer holidays I thought this song might be appropriate. Martha and the Muffins are a Canadian New Wave band. 'Echo Beach' was there biggest hit and was released from their first album 'Metro Music' (1980). Mark Gane, the writer of the song, wrote it while working in his job checking wallpaper for printing faults. He was so bored by it he started to think about times and places where he had been happy. When he wrote the song he was thinking about Sunnyside Beach on Lake Ontario in Toronto in the summer.
