About The Song
“Summertime Blues” refers to a feeling of restlessness or dissatisfaction that some people experience during the summer months. It’s often used to describe a sense of boredom, frustration, or a desire for change when routines may be disrupted, and there might be a sense of longing for something different.
The term is also associated with a classic rock and roll song titled “Summertime Blues.” The song was written and recorded by Eddie Cochran in 1958. It expresses the frustrations of a teenager who is restricted by societal expectations and rules during the summer vacation. The lyrics reflect a desire for freedom and the challenges faced by young people in navigating societal expectations.
The phrase “summertime blues” has since been used more broadly to capture the sentiment of feeling a bit down or agitated during the summer season, despite it traditionally being associated with relaxation and leisure. People may experience these blues for various reasons, such as unmet expectations, the pressure to have a perfect summer, or the disruption of routines.
