The Boys of Summer

A song originally written by Don Henley (former lead singer of The Eagles) in 1984, lead track and first single of the album Building the Perfect Beast. Remade by The Ataris in 2003 from their album So Long, Astoria. The song is about a summer love and remembering it. May also be about growing up; from youth to adulthood.

The Ataris made a few very slight modifications to the song. Their version has a faster beat and they changed the lyric "Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac" to "...Black Flag sticker..." which refers to a another band.
"I can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone" -Don Henley, The Boys of Summer

English summer

Supposed to be ironic. English summers typically consist of rain and little sunshine, until 'global warming' changed it. Tradtionally when someone describes weather as 'an English summer' they mean rain when there should be sunshine.
"Pack for an English summer!"
"Out comes the raincoat then..."

Summer

Summer is just one of those people who eats their toes and swipes the buttons off your shirts and pants. She is a most beauteous creature, a very rare breed if you manage to capture one do whatever you can to keep it in your clutches.
