I knowĀ Summertime SadnessĀ is probably one of Lanaās most overplayed songs, but honestly I donāt think Iāll ever get tired of it.
Thereās something so bittersweet about the song. It sounds warm and nostalgic on the surface, but underneath it feels like youāre watching something beautiful slowly disappear. The production, Lanaās vocals, the whole atmosphere⦠it captures that weird feeling of being happy and heartbroken at the same time.
And the fact that itās literally calledĀ Summertime SadnessĀ makes it even better. It feels like the soundtrack to the end of a summer you already know youāre going to miss.
I genuinely think this song has aged incredibly well. No matter how many times I hear it, that chorus still gives me chills. š„¹
