Description
These all evoke either the promise or loss of summer - we don’t experience it here as much as we anticipate it or remember it.
“Summertime”, off Girls’ Album (least googleable release ever) is all summer ephemera - just letting it pass by wasting time in the sun
The Hold Steady’s “Constructive Summer” is the self deception of kids going nowhere, convinced this summer is going to be the big one.
Jonathan Richman’s “That Summer Feeling” is wrapped up in spending your life chasing that down - it’s gonna haunt you one day in your life
And closing out with Beat Happening’s “Indian Summer”, similarly wanting always to get back to the Summer experience, knowing how fleeting it is.
