Summer Song began in early September of 2012. The original melody and idea came to me while biking home from Cortes Island along the coast of the Salish Sea. It was the last trip of a summer full of great adventure and profound sadness. The song has gone through many transformations in the four years it took for me to complete writing it. Some of my favourite (and simplest) moments are the result of hours of revision. At last I believe I have gotten it right. It has been a friend to me for a long time now and I hope you enjoy it.
