about
I wrote this song in the summer of 2021 at the end of my first year of Uni when I was going through rough times socially and mentally alongside dealing with a heavy case of unrequited love with some one I met that Year.
It's a track I wrote and produced myself
It’s a folkie-acoustic wistful, intimate sad boy summer tune floating in the well of wondrous melancholic lyricism reflecting the after summer feeling, accompanied with early 2000s ballad like harmonies and a warm laid back sound, reminiscent of artists like Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray, Clairo and Gracie Abrams.
lyrics
Verse 1
The summers finally here and I'm still on my own.
Walking through the heated pavement and looking at my shadow
I have you on my mind, when I am riding through.
But I wish you were to make July and August what it's suppose to be.
Pre-chorus
Yeah I know very well, Yeah I know that you aren't mine to keep.
Yeah I know very well, that this feelings will soon pass.
Chorus
It's a cruel summer tryna catch my breathe, tryna work out these feelings that I have.
Unrequited love it ain't nothing new, I've been through this before.
Verse 2
Another day goes by and I'll be twenty soon.
There won't be no one here to celebrate with me when August finally comes.
Time could be so cruel and every second counts.
Still haven't found the romance that they promised will come around.
Pre-chorus
Yeah I know very well, Yeah I know that you aren't mine to keep.
Yeah I know very well, that this feelings will soon pass.
Chorus
It's a cruel summer tryna catch my breathe, tryna work out these feelings that I have.
Unrequited love it ain't nothing new, I've been through this before.
Bridge
'Summer Love' is just a dream your embrace is out of reach x2
(repeat chorus)
