Let Summer Come Around by The War of The Flowers is a quietly powerful indie ballad that aches with longing and release. Pulled from their second album Long Black Shadow, the track captures that delicate in-between moment when you know you have to let someone go, but you’re not quite ready to say goodbye.
Built on a gentle, melodic foundation, the song flows with soulful simplicity. The vocals are raw and tender, never overdone, allowing every lyric to land with emotional clarity. There’s a certain stillness to the sound, like late afternoon light filtering through old curtains, making it feel deeply personal and intimate. The production is understated, letting the words and melodies do most of the talking. The title alone carries a bittersweet weight. It feels like both a wish for healing and an acceptance of passing time. There’s no drama here, no sharp edges, just a quiet sense of surrender and reflection.
In a music landscape full of over-polished, emotionally distant releases, this track stands out for one key reason: honesty. The War of The Flowers doesn’t try to be anything but real, and that vulnerability shines through in every note. If you’re looking for a song to sit with on a thoughtful day, “Let Summer Come Around” is a beautiful place to start.
