Album: Invincible Summer (2000)
Lyrics excerpt:
Early morning mid-July
Anticipation's makin' me high
The smell of Sunday in our hair
You ran on the beach with Kennedy Flair
Sweet, sweet burn of sun and summer wind
And you, my friend, my new fun thing
My summerfling
Reasons to love this song:
So many of my favourite summer songs are melancholy and nostalgic. Summerfling is definitely one of them. I suppose it is because summer and nostalgia are so firmly linked to one another. For a child, summer is a seemingly endless time of being completely carefree. As adults, although most of us cannot afford to be completely carefree, I think we still try to capture some traces of this feeling, and k. d. lang's song captures them perfectly, from the anticipation to the final bittersweet loss.
I like to listen to this song in a playlist with:
Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness
Madeleine Peyroux - The Summer Wind
Boney M - Still I'm Sad
Tori Amos - Indian Summer
Beautiful South - Everybody's Talkin'
(These songs do not resemble each other, but to me they all seem to share a summery/melancholic/nostalgic mood.)
