Well, that is the beauty of music sometimes things are open to interpretation.
It could not have known that people would think that.
It may not be about baseball but the fleeting passing of summer. A fleeting love.
Which coincides with the baseball season.

Damn, I flacking on another song I'd associate with it.
Anyway, I do like The Boys of Summer.

Man is posting some straight up truth right here^

  • The title comes from a 1972 baseball book by Roger Kahn called Boys of Summer, which is about The Brooklyn Dodgers, who broke the hearts of their fans when they moved to Los Angeles. That book got its title from a Dylan Thomas poem called I See the Boys of Summer, which was published in 1939.

OMG, it's one of those. I don't even know what they are called.
But ya that will be fun! It's like a bagpipe organ!

I'm still on the hunt for some sort of midi capable keyboard.
But I also want it to be somewhat moog-like.

I want it for fun, but also for sharing here.

But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but...

The song, like virtually every other song, is about lost love.
