I found this in a long document full of little blurbs I'd written for writemore last year and, honestly? I was kind of blown away by myself and wanted to share. Some parts are a little rough but I really like it on the whole.


Summer was fading like your favorite jeans, wearing out with too many washings, wearing out, yeah, but you never ever wanted to give it up, nights with bonfires and days spent gossiping at the pool. It was the blue of a sky in early August, it was the white creases where you’d spent too much time sitting on your porch, it was everything and it was all intertwined, somehow. You don’t know, you don’t really care, all you know is what you have is good, and someone is going to try to take it away from you with honey, those jeans are a little raggedy, aren’t they and it’s almost time for school, we can go shopping and buy another pair. Summer was fading into heavy navy blue, creases from folding and not from living, into the heavy navy blue of an October sky.

The original song was by Don Henley of The Eagles, someone posted it in my music swap meet thing so I've uploaded it for you (since I rarely get to share songs with you that you don't already have *g*)

The Boys of Summer (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=28FA155A7D443E3A)

I like the cover version by The Ataris better than the original - it's more lively and the acoustics are better, but the original feels more like a classic.

Oooh, thanks so much! I'm not on my computer so I can't listen to it just yet, but I look forward too! :)

You're welcome. Let me know if you want the version by The Ataris as well, in case you don't already have that.
