about
"Writing music is odd. Rarely, but sometimes, there’s this thing that happens where multiple ideas from very different periods happen to speak to each other across time. Summa’s the result of one of these moments.
Two old demos that existed apart, gathering dust, now living a new life in one another’s company. It’s a love story for the peculiar who long to be needed and to belong. Proof that there’s someone for everyone, you know?
Roughly speaking, the song is about regret. Not long term regret. Just short term regret that feels like short-term paralysis. But, at the end of the day, life goes on and you move again.
It was recorded in sheds, bedrooms and hotel rooms, and inspired by the sound of 70’s soul music"
- Kyle Tickell
lyrics
I keep my head from unending.
I don’t feel bad about staying.
I keep myself in the moment.
I wish it were you.
You put your push on and send it.
You make me feel like I’m dancing.
You’re holding me out of my home.
I wish it were you.
The loneliest day in summer,
you’re wishing the day went by.
The loneliest tale of summer,
when you kiss the sun.
And run.
I kept my head when you leapt in.
I swallowed breaths just to stay here.
I walked down roads and I told you,
that I wish it weren't true.
But what’s true?
You put your push on and went in.
The moon and sun kept disbanding.
I keep myself indisposed.
I wish it weren’t true.
The loneliest day in summer,
you’re wishing the day went by.
The loneliest tale of summer,
when you kiss the sun.
And run.
The loneliest day.
When you need.
To disdain.
In your life.
The loneliest day in your life
The loneliest day in summer,
you’re wishing the day went by.
The loneliest tale of summer,
when you kiss the sun.
And run.
The loneliest day.
