A Summer Song - Chad & Jeremy

A Summer Song - Chad & Jeremy
2:38
Yesterday's Gone, 1964
Written by Clive Metcalf, Keith Noble and Chad Stuart

A wistful baroque-folk song about a summer romance.  "They say that all good things must end someday / Autumn leaves must fall."  Sounds like the Association at their quietest, like maybe if there were only two of them.  The melody is carried by soft string embellishments and subtly intricate guitar work. The song evokes the feeling, especially in the young and those given to flings, of the season's fleeting, bittersweet nature.
