"The summer is over and I doubt, I doubt I'll be seeing you around."

Greetings,

In this post, I am going to be taking a short break from my Highlights Series and the Wisdom from the Apostolic Fathers series to reflect upon a song that sums up my view on the end of this summer.  In 2009, Taking Back Sunday released a new cd, "New Again."  This cd showed a new line up with Matthew Fazzi (at guitar and background vocals).  Within this cd, there was this song called "Summer, Man."

As I reflect upon this summer, which has been dominated by a long-drawn job search and a lot of waiting, this song perfectly sums up how I feel about the past three months.  Please enjoy the lyrics below.

"Yeah

I played deaf, immersed
In that technicoloured kind of
Black and white type
Counting one to seven through the roof
If my lady only knew how high I am, I am tonight

I crack open the safe myself now
Fourty-five twenty-two
June until September
Three months 'til december

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

'Cause I ain't working for you anymore
No, I ain't working for you anymore
So go prove to the world what you already proved
That you just couldn't do on your own

Let's have a talk about the good times
But you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Boy, you were only giving in

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

So let's have a talk about the good times
But you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Boy, you were only giving in to (me)

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around"
