Jefferson Airplane: Coming Back To Me
Frank Black: the End Of Summer
Black Francis captures the late summer mood with "It's The End Of Summer," and Jefferson Airplane from Surrealistic Pillow and Marty balin's hauntin gballad "Coming Back To Me," featuring the opening line, "the summer inhaled and held it's breath too long. Each song on today's VE connects with that weary late-season feeling. But summer still has some life in it. Flaming Lips, "It's Summertime."
Flaming Lips: It's Summertime
Chad & Jeremy: A Summer Song
The wisftul feeling of late summer, on the VE, with Chad & Jeremy, and The Flaming Lips. Here's a song from Bob Dylan's 2001 double LP "Love And Theft," which was a pastiche of American Popular siongwriting styles of the 20s and 30's. IN the enigmatic "Floater--Too Much To Ask," Dylan's persona is that of a past-prime Southern gentelman one to many mint juleps into a lazy summer afternoon...
Bob Dylan: Floater (To Much To Ask)

The Doors: Summer's Almost Gone
The grimy last days of summer can be sweetly sad...The Doors, "Summer's Almost Gone, " from Waiting For The Sun, The Kinks and a lost mid 80s gem, "Summer's Gone," and The Hollies' "Bus Stop...." There must be something to this sad mini season...so many songs' I haven't time for...Rolling Stones, "Summer Romance, " Bob Seger, " Night Moves," Th eMotels, "Suddenly Last Summer," well, maybe next year....which reminds me...let's let this guy have the last word, as he often does on the VE....
Frank Sinatra: The Summer Wind
