Any summer song that features the word “end” in the title sounds like a total drag. Summer is a time for having fun. Nonetheless, John Prine’s “Summer’s End” is like a bittersweet story that captures the summer ritual: sitting around and realizing the fact that our most precious moments are passing in front of our very own eyes.

The song isn’t particularly about getting older, but it’s about the acceptance of how time accelerates with age.
