Well, howdy there! Let’s gab a bit about them songs, you know, the ones that make you think about summer ending. It’s like, one minute you’re sweatin’ like a hog in July, and the next, bam, leaves are fallin’ and you need a sweater. Life’s a funny thing, ain’t it?
Songs About Summer Ending: Makes You Think, Don’t They?
So, there’s a whole heap of songs out there ’bout summer going away. Some make you wanna tap your feet, some make you wanna cry like a baby. Me? I like the ones that make me remember good times, you know, like picnics and fireflies.
- “Summertime” by that Ella Fitzgerald gal. Lord, that woman could sing! I heard tell this song’s been sung by a whole lotta folks, thousands and thousands of times. It’s a real pretty one, makes you think of lazy days and swingin’ on the porch. Makes me miss the days I could just do that without these old bones acting up.
Then you got them songs that just flat out say, “Hey, summer’s over, and I’m sad about it!” And that’s okay, ain’t nothin’ wrong with bein’ a little sad. Life ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, that’s for sure.
Some songs, they get you all riled up, like you wanna jump around and dance even though the summer’s done gone. Others, they make you sit and think, kinda like starin’ out the window on a rainy day. It’s all about how you feel, I reckon.
I heard tell there’s a list somewhere, a big ol’ list of songs ’bout sayin’ goodbye to summer. Heck, twenty-one songs, they say! That Olivia Newton-John gal, she sang one ’bout “Summer Nights,” remember that? Good times, good times.
There’s this song by a group called Rush. “Time Stand Still,” it’s called. Now, them fellers, they could really play their instruments! The song, it makes you think ’bout wishin’ you could just stop time, keep them summer days going forever. But, well, you can’t. Time keeps on tickin’, whether you like it or not.
And that’s what these songs are all about, ain’t it? Saying goodbye, remembering the good times, and getting ready for what’s next. Whether it’s happy songs or sad songs, they all kinda help you deal with it.
- Some songs make you miss them long summer days. There’s this fella, Chance the Rapper, he sings ’bout rememberin’ summers gone by. Makes you think ’bout your own summers, don’t it?
Then there’s them sad summer songs. Rock and roll, pop, folk, whatever you call it, they all got songs ’bout the end of summer. Makes you wanna curl up with a blanket and a cup of somethin’ warm.
There’s that Green Day song, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”. A lot of folks like that one. Real sad, but pretty too. And the Beach Boys, they sang ’bout “All Summer Long.” Makes you think ’bout the beach, the sun, all that good stuff.
Songs are funny things. They can take you back in time, make you feel happy, make you feel sad. And when it comes to summer ending, well, they can help you with that too. It’s like a friend puttin’ their arm around you, sayin’, “It’s okay, summer’ll be back again next year.”
So, if you’re feelin’ a little down ’bout summer goin’ away, go find yourself some of them songs. Listen to ’em, sing along if you want, heck, even dance a little if the mood strikes ya. It’ll help, I promise. Life’s too short to be mopin’ around, even when the good times seem to be over.
And who knows, maybe next summer will be even better. That’s what I always tell myself anyways. Keeps me goin’, you know? Keeps me lookin’ forward, even when the days get shorter and the nights get colder. It’s all gonna be alright.
So, that’s my two cents ’bout them songs. Summer ends, sure, but the music, well, it keeps on playin’. And that’s somethin’ to be thankful for, ain’t it?
