When the Sun Sets on Summer, Calotype Captures the Bittersweet in ‘Summer Fade’
As summer comes to an end and fall approaches, Calotype‘s new song, “Summer Fade,” captures that bittersweet feeling of change. Released on September 20, 2024, it’s a heartfelt reflection on moving from sunny summer days to the cooler weather of autumn.
The song starts with soft, flowing guitar notes that make you think of waves on the beach, bringing a sense of longing and reflection. As the song continues, rock and pop combine to create a big, open sound that feels strong yet light. Each note feels like it’s taking its time, as if Calotype wants us to enjoy every moment, just like those last summer sunsets.
“Summer Fade” makes you feel things even without using words. Calotype’s skill with instruments lets you think about your experiences like late-night bonfires, laughing with friends, and the day’s warmth fade away. The way the song changes reflects the passing of time, building up to a big moment before gently fading, just like summer does.
