As the mercury dips, summer is starting to feel like a distant memory. However, you can keep the nostalgic summer vibes going just a little longer with “The Summer,” the latest single by South Australian songstress Cookie Baker featuring You Am I frontman Tim Rogers.
The song isn’t your traditional summer anthem. There’s a real sense of wistfulness about it, a feeling of longing and despondence which is probably more in keeping with the gloomier autumn weather upon as now. But it’s juxtaposed with the film clip which takes me right back to the warmer weather. I’m not normally one for kids, but watching these tikes running around the Southern Yorke Peninsula has managed to even charm me.
“The Summer” was the first track Cookie recorded for her forthcoming album.
