Take Offs And Landings, 2001
Written by Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett
Beautiful indie-chamber pop, evoking a wistful longing of something. Is August a month or a person? "August, something in your eyes / Or was it that you lied? / Told me not to take it to heart." It paints a picture of a lover who, like the month itself, is fleeting and unreliable. The song's narrator holds on to a sense of hope, trying to make something real out of the relationship, but August keeps making empty promises. The gentle melodies match the lyrical mood. The soft guitar work and Sennett's evocative vocals lend the song an air of nostalgic longing, underscoring the theme of a summer romance that burns bright but fades too quickly.
