Tavern of Song #10: Summertime Sadness ⛱️😔
Do you feel it approaching? That melancholy dread of summer's end, even though there's still time to spare? Maybe you feel like you haven't done everything that you planned, or that what you have done and will do will soon be over, and we'll be back to the grind of work and school without a barbecue or pool party in sight. While we at Tavern of Song can't promise to alleviate the grief of another summer gone by, we can certainly invite you to revel in the angst described best by Lana Del Rey: "Summertime Sadness"
