A new cold breeze in the air
Wish I could take you up there
Where we would drown in the sun
But summertime is gone
A chilly wind through my spine
And heavy clouds in decline
Winter's work has begun
And summertime is gone
And I wanna see you once again
And I wanna touch you once again
Oh, this is what dreams are made of
My, oh my
These soothing times
The summer wine
Summertime is gone!
Now clouds are hanging low
And paint the land in snow
The equinox is through and done
And summertime is gone
I dream a little dream of summer days
And spread my wings of dreams to leave this place
With summershine and dreams for two
One for me and one for you
I dream a little dream of summer days
Tiamat 2008
I found this song to be highly appropriate as the summer comes to an end, and today is cold in Minnesota. That being said let's dive in.
This song has our hero singing to his love. Speaking of times gone by. Dreaming of when they can return. To me this song speaks of a time when two lovers were together, when they had each other to themselves. A summer fling, a forbidden romance. That time has now ended and our hero is dreaming of when it will come back.
I suppose this could be applied to many areas but the song so obviously speaks of love. You know the kind, where everything is right in that moment. No one exists but the two of you and nothing matters. Time seems to stand still, yet rushes past way too fast at the same time. It's a moment when you can see the others soul in their eyes and feel their heart beating.
We than come to the end of the romance, or the pause during the seperation and we find our hero longing for it. He has succumbed to the fact that, that moment is over but is dreaming of more to come. Dreaming of the moment when the two can be reunited and share their love once again.
All in all I find this to be a very romantic, dreamy song. Let's see what my counterpart has to say.
Sometimes being a goth band gives some freedom with lyrical content. Tiamat certainly expresses that freedom here with a 'ballad' of sorts.
ReplyDeleteSummertime is still here in Texas. Summer never really leaves my part of Texas, it just sort of goes through a cooling off period before attacking with a vengeance in April and May.
So now that we've got the weather jokes out of the way...
Mardi certainly has this song pegged. While we don't know the specifics, we know that our hero is pining for his lover that is out of reach at this time. Certainly anyone who has had a long distance relationship can attest the feelings or loneliness that come between meetings. While the hero knows this loneliness won't last forever, it still feels as such and the dreams of being together again will flood the hero's mind until they are realized.
How they pulled it off without being dark and brooding is anyone's guess. This was a nice challenging song. Let's see if I can make Mardi think on the next one.
Girl, summer isn't gone. It's gorgeous here! Oh by the way, I am home now.

Anyway, I am surprised to see this song posted by Mardi. I wouldn't have thought this to be in her playlist, she never ceases to amaze me. I do have to agree with the team's analysis, the song screams of long distance love. Such a hard thing to deal with but usually well worth it.
Good job guys, can't wait to read on.
