Ghosts of Summer
Indie rockMelancholic, reflective, bittersweet
About the song
“Ghosts of Summer” is a melancholic indie rock song about the memories that stay behind after love is gone. Chiming guitars and a steady, aching rhythm build towards a chorus that feels like an echo bouncing down an empty hallway.
The lyrics are full of small, real details: Polaroid pictures on the wall, a handwritten note, an apartment that still smells like someone, morning coffee for two that is now for one. The narrator is still waiting where they were left, wondering if time will ease the ache.
It is a song for rainy afternoons, late-night headphone sessions and anyone getting through the end of a relationship. The animated video moves through sunlit rooms, fading echoes and the last light of summer.
Good for: Rainy days, Late-night listening, Working through a breakup.

Ghosts of Summer lyrics
Polaroid pictures on the wall
Reminders of before the fall
Your handwriting on a note
Words you carefully wrote
The apartment still smells like you
Morning coffee for two
Now I drink alone and stare
At your empty chair
Ghosts of summer haunt these halls
Echoes bouncing off the walls
I'm still here where you left me
Waiting for a memory
It would mean that you're really gone
So I just carry on
Ghosts of summer haunt these halls
Echoes bouncing off the walls
I'm still here where you left me
Waiting for a memory
Maybe time will ease this ache
Maybe hearts are meant to break
Maybe hearts are meant to break
Ooh, ghosts of you
