Capital New York has a nice feature right now called “The Last Song of Summer,” defined as “the songs you want to hear during the last set of the last party of the season, or while you watch the sun go down on the final balmy day.” This is mine, “Outro With Bees,” by Neko Case. 

The whole song is perfect, but there’ s a moment in here when it switches from stereo to mono and becomes every last, late-night drive home I ever took through Kansas in August; the smell of burnt earth and freshly-harvested field corn, and the sound of distant thunder. 

Submit your song here, or simply tag your post ‘summer outro’.
