Ethereal Longing in 'Summer's Colour' by Basement

Basement's 'Summer's Colour' is a poetic exploration of longing, admiration, and the ethereal nature of love. The song opens with the imagery of waiting for the moon, wrapped in ribbons, symbolizing a gift or a moment of beauty that the narrator wishes to present to their beloved. This sets the tone for a narrative filled with a sense of anticipation and deep emotional connection.

The recurring mention of a 'Princess in a white dress' and a 'Queen in a dream' suggests an idealized vision of the beloved, elevating them to a status of both purity and regality. This dual imagery reflects the narrator's admiration and perhaps a sense of unattainable perfection. The white dress symbolizes innocence and purity, while the queen in a dream represents an almost surreal, dreamlike adoration.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of separation and the pain of absence. Lines like 'You leave the scene, so quiet and patiently, I'm lost without you' convey a deep sense of loss and yearning. The act of going outside to admire shooting stars together signifies shared moments of wonder and beauty, which are now tinged with a sense of melancholy due to the beloved's absence. The repetition of 'Queen in a dream' towards the end of the song emphasizes the lingering impact of this idealized love on the narrator's psyche, leaving them in a state of perpetual longing.

Overall, 'Summer's Colour' by Basement captures the delicate balance between admiration and longing, painting a vivid picture of love that is both beautiful and elusive.
