"Thank God for the Summertime" By Ben Rector

I love this song it has different textures that make it a great song to listen to.

It starts with a simple drum and tambourine beat, then moves into the melody (piano) with strikes of an electric guitar.
It then goes into just the drums, the soft piano and the solo singer.
The tambourine comes back in for the chorus with a louder (mezzo) piano and guitar. The singer's voice sounds like it has more passion and he now has background singers.
This repeats twice (verse, chorus, verse 2, chorus) into the bridge where the piano plays with more passion and louder (forte). The guitar also has a little more freedom in the bridge where you can hear it more.
For the last chorus you hear the guitar more, it makes you want to tap your feet because you can feel the rhythm coming from it.
The song ends with the solo rhythm electric guitar.

This song has a time signature of 4/4 and a duple meter. 

The different textures of the song makes it have a jazzy feel to it. You can feel the beat and feel the passion from the artist's voice and the band's sound. The lyrics are laid back: 
Thank God for the summertime
No cares and I'm doing fine, no cares and I'm doin fine
Thank God for the summertime.
and the beat goes along with it because it has a jazzy "groove" to it. Jazz music has a laid back feel to it and that's why these textures and the time meter fits so well with the singers voice and lyrics.
