about

Song wondering about what love is, and how this feeling is perceived and changes over the years that pass, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, “Summer fading (late love song)” is an iridescent song that, for each stage of life narrated by the lyrics, corresponds to a different arrangement, while remaining a song with the classic verse-chorus-verse form (a bit like what happens in “Strawberry fields forever” by the Beatles). It goes from an initial dream pop (childhood) to shoegaze with the entrance of drums and bass (adolescence), up to the alternative rock of the interlude and the final part (adulthood). The influences are to be found as much in Muse as in Pink Floyd and Radiohead.

lyrics

I remember the first time when we just met
We were just twelve but you looked just so adult
And I still can’t forget the way I looked at you
My world was videogames and comic books
I think, now, maybe you were not allured
With all that stuff, was I too immature?

That night I fell in love
Just like a child could love, was that love true?

Now two years have passed away, we met again
We were two teens but I was so naive
And you still looked more big compared to me
There was people all around us but I was
So hypnotized by you and I didn’t know
What could I do to make you look at me too

That night I fell in love, again
Just like a teen could love, I was so

Breathless and I was so determined to
Trying to catch a smile from your lips
The moon was so shining bright, or maybe it just seems to me
I prayed the night: “Please, never end”

I looked at the mirror, now I am 34
A grow up child, I still read comic books
I wonder if you've changed in all this time
My thoughts go backwards to that summer night
When I should have done more things than I did
I really would have do lot more of things, you see?

But now that time has gone
And I feel a bit low but happy

Wondering if you too remember me
If you too remember that times
When we were just sitting there, feelings that I could feel
Summer’s fading like tears from my eyes
