Austin rock outfit Zephyr Love has released their third release of the year, “Summer’s Fadin.” The song delivers an upbeat, feel-good rock anthem with driving guitar and layered vocals that take listeners for a ride. It’s the kind of track that feels perfect for a late summer drive, with a touch of nostalgia.
The band consists of Chris McCollum and Cherisha Heart, along with drummer Arthur Brewer. Zephyr Love has built their name off of their big harmonies and a throwback rock sound that brings the 70s and 80s back to life.
The song’s message is about holding on to youth, and freedom, and how if you aren’t careful, it’ll slip away. Inspired by the Summer of Love in 1967, the song looks at how time changes everything, but also asks if that old magic can still be found today. The band says, “‘Summer’s Fadin’ is a call to bring back the spirit of love, freedom, and unity that first lit up the 1960s.”
The song ends with the repeated lines “But the summer’s fadin’ / The summer’s fadin’ / The summer’s fadin ‘ / Oooh but the summer’s fadin’.” It’s a reminder that all things eventually fade away. It hammers home the message to hold on to those beautiful moments in life. “Summer’s Fadin’” is Zephyr Love doing what they do best—mixing heart, harmony, and rock ‘n’ roll.
