Prog Songs for the End of the Summer..

[aldus]

I'll start with Chris - Days Of Summer Gone from Days Of Summer Gone (2013)



Post your faves & discuss, bitte!

[Grumpyprogfan]

New Thank You Scientist release has plenty of great prog songs to end the summer.

[Scrotum Scissor]

Svetonio.

[PixelDelirium]

Asia - Summer
Asia - Summer Can't Last Too Long

[iguana]

BLACKFIELD:
Summer
Cloudy Now
Rising of the Tide
Springtime
After the Rain
October

Strictly musically speaking: the lot.

[nosebone]

So beautiful, just listen

[Buddhabreath]

^^^
That Greaves album is one of my all-time favorites: loaded with amazing songs, wonderful performances and it's beautifully produced and recorded. Robert Wyatt is of course wonderful on "The Song". Love it.

[Lopez]

Autumn: Heroine's Theme/Deep Summer's Sleep/The Winter Long from the Strawb's Hero and Heroine.

[bill g]

Big Big Train - Summer's Lease

[mozo-pg]

Not prog but the Who's version of Summertime Blues

A great record indeed!

Genesis' 'Inside and Out' talks about 'see the summer going out by the door', and in fact the whole of Wind and Wuthering, at least for me, has a feel of summer transitioning to fall, very scenic.

I suppose this is an overtly obvious selection.

[Dave (in MA)]

Svetonio.

Did he do anything again that got him banned, or was it just for past infractions/re-registering while already banned?

[Scrotum Scissor]

^ He's got more than just this one identity running right now.

Strategy seems to be that people will cease to take note or bother if he simply stays put, keeps on and eventually tires them out by constantly inventing new identities sporting geographical mock-origins. I'd dare say it's a question of pathology; the guy couldn't quit even if he wanted to - he keeps going as a point of challenge to potentially hostile surroundings. The fanciful thing is that his signature mark is squarely discernable and essentially indicates a level of self-insight way below the fellow average. Very sad sight, really.

Oh, well.

[MudShark22]

Type O Negative - Summer Breeze

For when the Indian summer begins to chill...

[Paulrus]

To me early-mid period Steely Dan often has a summer-into-fall/start-of-school vibe going on. Some Camel also gets me in that mood.

[SongForAmerica]

The Dream Academy: "Indian Summer":

And I second "Autumn" by the Strawbs.

Autumn album, pure autumn. Not one note of summer to be found!

[yamishogun]

The ultimate prog summer song:

[Halmyre]

Not prog - Don Henley, "Boys of Summer"

[Rarebird]

Renaissance - A song for all seasons
Some Barclay James Harvest

[yesman1955]

I always felt Wind & Wuthering was more of a late fall into early winter theme. The cover seems to reinforce that. YMMV

I agree.. in fact without having the album in front of me I want to say it was a winter release..

[Progbear]

There’s also this version of that John Greaves song that’s worthwhile:

[happytheman]

Not prog

The Doors - Summer's Almost Gone
Rod Stewart - Maggie May

There's always Indian Summer from Morrison Hotel album
