End Of Summer Songs

For most people, summer ends once school starts, but this year the official last day of summer isn't until next week; September 21st. The end of summer has a long history in popular culture as the season traditionally represents all things good. The weather is warm, school is out, and love blooms.

Summer is also representative of youth, the best times of our lives, with spring representing childhood, autumn representing middle age, and winter representing old age. So the end of summer is a drag.

There are thousands of songs that refer to the end of summer, whether real or as a metaphor.

For this playlist I've put together a group of songs that you can say goodbye to summer with. Hope you had a great one!
