Michael Leviton - Summer’s the Worst

Let’s launch this off with the second song I ever posted to Tumblr. I discovered, to my dismay, that I can’t reblog myself, which means I can’t repost all my old tunes here, but this song warranted the effort it took to repost it. This is a song for when you want to be sad and beautiful. It sounds like the sea and like loneliness. The music video is unfortunately mediocre - don’t look at it as you listen to this.

Summer I’m lost in a wonderful trance
I drink lots of milkshakes and watch people pass
Through diner windows I see them hold hands
The kids all look beautiful just because they can

Perfecting their tans, showing off their physiques
The boys are all hot and the girls are in heat
I take off my shirt, still my heart’s on my sleeve
I can’t help but fall for every girl that I see

And the pickup lines are well rehearsed
The sun will melt your just deserts
You’ll fall in love - you’ll fall head first
That’s when you’ll learn that summer is the worst
