Top 12 sad summer songs

[seaso...@gmail.com]

Ok this is a bit of fun--as if we really need to be more depressed
during the summer! But AV Club has a list of the top 12 'sad' summer
songs. Most of them revolve around summer isolation or relationship
drama, but some of them have very Summer SAD worthy lyrics!

Take this from Fountains Of Wayne, "It Must Be Summer" (from Utopia
Parkway):

"'And the sun is beating me senseless / I feel defenseless, like a
dying lamb...' In a textbook case of reverse seasonal affective
disorder, he ultimately concludes that it must be summer "'cause I
can't go on.'"

Anyone have others to add to the list?

In case you are curious, here are the lyrics to "It Must Be Summer",
which you can listen to a clip of on Amazon. Sounds like we found a
Summer SAD anthem :-)

It must be summer
Cause the days are long
And I dial your number
But youre gone, gone, gone
Id set out searching
But the car wont start
And it must be summer
Cause Im falling apart

I try your sister
On the jersey shore
She said you might be stopping by
But shes not sure
So I call your mother
On long island sound
She said it must be summer
Cause youre never around

And the sun is beating me senseless

I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
I dont want to lie by the oceanside
Dont want to play in the sand
Cant you understand?
Cant you understand?

It must be summer
Cause the streets are bare
Andi try your number
But youre just not therer
And the sun keeps shining
Til its dead and gone
And it must be summer
Cause I cant go on

And the sun is beating me senseless

I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
I dont want to lie by the oceanside
Dont want to play in the sand
Cant you understand?
Cant you understand?

Thanks for the song.  Here is my favorite line:

 

And the sun is beating me senseless

I feel defenseless like a dying lamb

 

But it is not just sun and warmth is it?  I can objectively say that when August hits I have my mind on Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and all the holidays and sporting events that go with them.

 

Regards, John
